You will know a tree by it fruit.

Um... news flash doulos, Christ was talking about FALSE PROPHETS, NOT behavior of believers in regards to knowing them by their fruits.
Go back and re-read Matt 7.
It was the anti Mormon crowd that is partly responsible for the Muslim in the White House.

OH THAT IS RICH. You are saying that it is the inmans fault our fault that Romney didn’t win the nom?!?
Do you REALLY think that Romney would have beat Zero?!?! Then you are delusional. There is now way Romney would have won, based upon his politics not his religion.
And what you say is my ‘need to tear down other’s beliefs’ is merely pointing out their inconsistancies, it is the first step in their eyes being opened.
Good catch.
applause!
Read...........like that will ever happen.
Oh,really? Romney shot himself in the foot all by himself. Romney/0bama care are kissing cousins to each other. His belief had very little to do with it.
Sigh, you are probably right, but it may pique someone else’s curiosity.
The phenomenal cosmic power of the Inmans is awesome to behold.

I know, it’s like we are Karl Rove or something. ;)
We gots POWER!!!!
I have learned for myself that Presbyterianism is not true.
17 It no sooner appeared than I found myself delivered from the enemy which held me bound. When the light rested upon me I saw two Personages, whose brightness and glory defy all description, standing above me in the air. One of them spake unto me, calling me by name and said, pointing to the otherThis is My Beloved Son. Hear Him!
18 My object in going to inquire of the Lord was to know which of all the sects was right, that I might know which to join. No sooner, therefore, did I get possession of myself, so as to be able to speak, than I asked the Personages who stood above me in the light, which of all the sects was right (for at this time it had never entered into my heart that all were wrong)and which I should join.
19 I was answered that I must join none of them, for they were all wrong; and the Personage who addressed me said that all their creeds were an abomination in his sight; that those professors were all corrupt; that: they draw near to me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me, they teach for doctrines the commandments of men, having a form of godliness, but they deny the power thereof.
20 He again forbade me to join with any of them; and many other things did he say unto me, which I cannot write at this time. When I came to myself again, I found myself lying on my back, looking up into heaven. When the light had departed, I had no strength; but soon recovering in some degree, I went home. And as I leaned up to the fireplace, mother inquired what the matter was. I replied, Never mind, all is wellI am well enough off. I then said to my mother,
Darned good POINT!!
Absolutely NO translation 'errors'!!
You are a bit late; as Joseph Smith has already done that.

Yeah...
What IS it?
What is your point? Are you saying that this principle
is not true just because Jesus was specifically
teaching his disciples on how to spot false prophets?
Gal. 5:25 If you live in the spirit, let us also
walk in the spirit.
I’m shaking the dust off my sandles.
John 16:2
They will put you out of the synagogue; in fact, a time is coming when anyone who kills you will think he is offering a service to God.
My point is that too often people take the ‘by their fruits ye shall know them out of context’ and apply it to believers when Christ was talking about discerning false prophets.
Taken out of context, yes it does not mean what you claim it means, it is twisting scripture.
Christians will behave with love and charity but Atheists and cultist also produce ‘good works’ and that doesn’t make them Christians either.
If we are to claim that all who do ‘good works’ are Christians or saved regardless of their theology, then we are back to ‘all roads lead to heaven’ and that is not biblical at all.
Was it PRIME when he BOUGHT it?
Is there some International Association of Cults and Offshoot Sects where they share notes and develop these delightful ideas?
