Where should the "I don't know" go?

I have, thanks. So again. What fruits?
Again, the fruits can be seen by reading the books.
Fruits: the pleasant or successful result of work or actions: fruit

What were you expecting, parting of the Red Sea, walking on water, raising the dead?
I guess you will have to go to Moses and Jesus for those.

I have read several. Perhaps more than you. Perhaps fewer. I don't know.

I have no expectations. You said there are fruits. Do you know of any? Or were you just saying stuff?

His fruits can be seen as the results his work and actions, which are described in the texts I cited.

Apparently, fruits means something different to you than it means to me.


What does "judge a tree by the fruit it bears" mean?

Jesus states that one will be able to identify false prophets by their fruits. False prophets will not produce good fruits. Fruits, which are a common metaphor in both the Old and New Testaments, represent the outward manifestation of a person's faith, thus their behaviour and their works.

Matthew 7:16 - Wikipedia
 

Aupmanyav

Be your own guru
“Say: The first and foremost testimony establishing His truth is His own Self. Next to this testimony is His Revelation. For whoso faileth to recognize either the one or the other He hath established the words He hath revealed as proof of His reality and truth. This is, verily, an evidence of His tender mercy unto men. He hath endowed every soul with the capacity to recognize the signs of God. How could He, otherwise, have fulfilled His testimony unto men, if ye be of them that ponder His Cause in their hearts. He will never deal unjustly with any one, neither will He task a soul beyond its power. He, verily, is the Compassionate, the All-Merciful.”

1. His own Self, who He was, His character (His qualities)

2. His Revelation, what He accomplished (His Mission on earth/ the history of His Cause)

3. His Writings are additional evidence because they show who He was as a person, what He taught about God and other things, and what accomplished on His mission.

Matthew 7:15-20 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

Fruits: the pleasant or successful result of work or actions: fruit
1. I am not privy to his real character.
2. He accomplished nothing. His people suffered for thinking that he was a messenger of Allah.
3. He taught about a falsehood that there is a God and there is just One God.

There is no fruit known as Bahaollah's fruit. I agree with Mathew.
