Ive herd many people say, "I do not judge, Im a fruit inspector" when Jesus said you can tell if someone is good by checking their fruits. How do u do that? what are peoples fruits? I noticed when people argue about Benn Hinn both sides eatheir for him or against him say just look at his fruits! So im kinda confused... anyone wanna clear this up for me?
Hi there
How are you?
The fruits of the SPirit would be a good place to start:
Galatians 5:
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
Compare this to the fruits of the sin nature:
19 The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; 20 idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.
One thing about Benny Hinn is that when he ministers he never says anything bad about other believers. He talks about Jesus, about healing, about love, joy and peace. He goes a bit overboard on the money but he doesnt run any other believers down. Compare that with the 'heresey hunters' who cause divisions, discord, rage, jealousy, slander. Some ministries exist just to run other ministries down. This is a fruit of the sin nature.
Thats how I look at it
