Important Answers About Ownership of Federal Land

I humorously smirk at this verse - Ye shall know them by their fruits. I am looking for that physical fruit but then when I actually spoke that recently to one seeking to get me to come to his church [Kirk], he said the fruit was not literal......He said the fruit symbolized deeds.

The NT actually lists fruits of the Spirit and they aren't necessarily physical objects though they are observable in those who bear such fruits. So its puzzling how anyone who is learned could even be the slightest bit confused. That such fruits aren't consumer merchandise is not kept secret in the Bible. Obviously some things are literal some are not. In the spirit these are literal fruits. Literal is not necessarily synonymous with observable to the physical. Something can be literal in the spirit. And if the man bears the fruits of the Spirit literally then they are of those literally as outlined above. Not all things are allegorical though some things (acts, events, etc.) might point to the symbolic or might be part of a larger allegory-highlighting act or plan. The entire walk of a saint through to victory is an assertion and exercise of truth, a proving of the revelations of truth are in fact true. The walk isn't necessarily allegorical or to be dismissed as non-existant.

I've been probably one of the few if not the only one who saw, thanks be to God of Christ, in the healing of the blind man that the man was actually first made to see in the most important way then had his physical sight restored (sound mind...sound body). In other words that he saw men being like trees walking HE WAS SEEING THE TRUTH.

Many interpret that healing as if the first healing misfired and then it finally "got right"--IMHO there is a huge point that could be missed with such interpretation.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. Galatians 5:22-23
