How many times are the words "true Christian" mentioned in the Bible?
where none exists in the passage, the folly of those who certify their own opinions and
who believe their own propaganda, let it be a lesson to you in the future, for you will be
called out on it time and again and made to walk the plank!

and see it for themselves, you yourself have also used the term true Christians, so I
suspect you can point it out as well?
Originally posted by FMFI dont know, you tell me FMF, you have used them a number of times in your texts and
Well you insisted that I point out the words "true Christian". Where is it you yourself reckon they occur?
stated that false prophets were contrasted with true Christians, i merely assumed it
must be correct, for you yourself were saying it.

Originally posted by robbie carrobieThe passage quite clearly seems to be explaining that you will know a true Christian by their "fruits".
yes you yourself were using the term, i assumed it was understood that it was with
reference to the disciples of Christ, perhaps you would like to tell us why you were
using it? I know why i was using it.

along FMF. If you are willing to state, yes indeed there is no mention of the disciples of
Christ in the entire passage but i think according to my evaluation, its inferred through
the reference to 'good trees' and 'good fruit', then fine, I can accept that despite the
fact that its a nonsense as the passage is clearly intended to help the recipients
recognise false prophets, not the disciples of Christ.
Indeed why do you think Jesus would be contrasting false prophets with the disciples of
Christ (true christians), to help them recognise who they were and in what camp?
