You are really thick. Everybody knows the JWs are false prophets and now you are demonstrating that you are a false teacher. Just one verse prior to Matt 7 16 says :
Mat 7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
Mat 7:16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorn ...[text shortened]... terpret and you cant explain. So stop misleading people, Mr False Prophet and False Teacher.

Lol.....Your one of a kind. And that's a point in itself you who are out there alone. How do these scriptures fit you? Ps 133:1. Heb 10:25 &13:1. Matt 23:8. 1Pet 5:9. Rom 12:10.

43 For there is no good tree which produces bad fruit, nor, on the other hand, a bad tree which produces good fruit.
44 For each tree is known by its own fruit. For men do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they pick grapes from a briar bush.
45 The good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth what is good; and the evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth what is evil; for his mouth speaks from that which fills his heart.
Luke 6:43-45

Originally posted by menace71I think it is simple it's as Christ said a belligerent swearing cursing man is just spewing the evil that is in his heart and vise versa. (We all tend to show this at times) A spirit filled or led person however should exhibit less and less of these quality's.

I don't think there is any hidden meaning at all. I love the parables because as I've heard earthy stories with heavenly meaning.

A Tree and Its Fruit
15 Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. 16 By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17 Likewise every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. 19Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.
21"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?' 23Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!'

Originally posted by menace71So the word fruit has different meanings in th Bible. But again it also refers to the fruit that a religion produces and something we have to be aware of as Jesus speaks of.
I agree but would add as Paul says we must walk in the Spirit and be led by the Spirit to wage war against the flesh. To put on Christ as it were.
