       By their fruits you will know them

       You cannot gather g r a p e s from thorn bushes nore figs
       from thistles. He is telling us here to beware of the false
       prophets and we shall know them by their fruits. Normal people
       will believe this is to say we know them by the fruit of the
       Spirit which is as the goodness kindness meekness etc. This is
       not what he is saying, even evil  shows love and kindness to
       their own. When we bare fruit , it is not in our personality
       although this sort is as we should be I suppose. I consider
       boldness and courage to be our type too but again this is not
       the fruit we bare.  Just like in the beginning, disciples of the
       Lord are rooted in his word and the fruit we bare is knowledge
       and our knowledge comes from the Lord and he is as we teach,
       Spirit. A good tree or person  will bare good fruit and the
       flesh is not good. It is the liar and thief. The Spirit speaks
       truth and that comes only from the Lord himself.So if they teach
       and Speak the Letter or the literal and that sort, they are
       false prophets and their is not halfway. You can 't have the two
       masters. You love the one and hate the other so if people wonder
       just what Jesus meant when he accused some of those in the
       churches of doing what he hated, now you know, you love the one
       and hate the other and I'm sure he loved his father who was
       Spirit. If you love someone you teach him the truth and that is
       Love and the receiving of love is faith. The receiving of truth
       is faith and faith is counted as righteousness or being right
       before God.
