By Their Fruits You Shall Recognize Them

[beloved57]

Fortunately for us...

God will be the one to determine that and not some one who doesn't know us and is eager to extrapolate his erroneous perceptions in order to try to make a point.

Yeah ,He has determined it !

Dude, I thought you were enjoying the Keys, strolling along down Highway 1, drinking in the sights from underwater.........you got a laptop in your wetsuit or are you just happy to see us? :cover:

Friday and Saturday found me in Coral Gables at a Tech Conference for GUE (GLobal Underwater Explorers) and I went diving off of Key Largo on Sunday to the Speigel Grove (an artificial reef). It was fun!

Most of today I spent in a business meeting and then traveling back. I just got home.

How are these fruits supposed to behave, act or respond?

another scriptor that come to mind is search, pounder and pray or And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. i strongly belive that a person has to be prepared and open to recive that which is good and right. i cannot except any church and this covers about 99% of the church out there that say to some extent that sin is ok; it is not.

How can we make the connection of what is required by God to the people who follow Him?

i belive that praying and fasting is key to be humble and long suffering to understand the will of God. But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. and That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly. i belive that the father of all the spirits of the world will tell his children what to do and were to go, i've seen this in my own life and things that i could have never known were opened unto me. if you belive that you will recive an answer then you will recive an answer God answers all of his children in ways that can come in a form of a missionger, a wispering in the ear a felling of hope, joy peace, and gladness. the aposles discribed the filling as do most latter-day saints as a "burning within our busom" like in luke 24:32 And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures?

Is this a fair assessment?

i belive that any good is of God and any evil is of the devil, to say there is a God and no Devil is of the devils conyness to decive the hearts of the childern of Man. for the devil makes promises to say: you are saved by grace only or you are saved by the law though your works. neather are justified, grace needs the laws or why would we need grace; and not one person save Jesus only can be justified by the laws though his work so were do we go to justify our selfs in salvation "for we know that it is by grace that we are saved, after all we can do." 2 nephi 25:23

With the many interpretation and translations of the Bible how can an organization measure among the many other different religions? How can we tell or judge who has good fruit?

no two churchs have the same bible that they use for there studies, there are differnt versions of them and differnt people seem to take what they want and leave other things that they don't understand and tell pepople the number one excuse for not know the answer which is a bunch of BS in my opinion is "just have faith." how can a man of God not knowing something if he says he has the holy ghost from God gives that holy ghost to know the things that are inside the scriptors for the binifet of man kind. what gets me is people buy this. i know if i don't know the aswer i always have a sorce to find the answer...

sorry for my little rant...
