Subject: Good and Bad Fruit Out of Context? |
Bible Note: Doc Thank you. 2) The context - I think I mentioned Jesus is talking about what to do about what you say and not about what you do. I mentioned that I looked down the passage? 10) Perhpaps you are directing me to this principle of one intrepertation, more than one application? A strict interpretation limits the meaning to that Jesus was only speaking about speech and not action as in "committing the unforgivable sin of saying Jesus cast out demons by the power of Beelzebub". In all fairness to you and what you are teaching, I do believe you are trying to point me to a secondary Biblical application that says "a good tree bears good fruit as in good actions, and a bad tree bears bad fruit". Thank you for the branch. Just a worthless son. blessings abound, bowler |
