Quote: Remember that by the fruits we know which tree is good and which tree is corrupt, and not by the words.

a tree that is "planted" in poor soil may not bear fruit, or good quality fruit...yet if that tree is nutured and the soil enriched, shall that tree also not produce fruit?...

instead of looking at the faults of those planted in poor soil...standing in shadow...should we not "trim" our branches back with understanding and forgiveness as Christ taught, not judgement , to allow these poorly producing trees the chance to also produce...

i believe that God was telling mankind to be wary...be wise to the ways of the serpent, so they could understand and learn, not judge. We may be sheep in a sea of wolves...but even they could be tamed with kindness, eventually.

it is Love that allows everything to grow and flourish...as the saying goes:

"Love conquors All"
