It doesn't MATTER. He said it takes a period of growth and maturity to produce ANYTHING. SO you name it, any kind of fruit, that is included in ANY FRUIT. Or are we going to change the meaning of any like Budman changed the meaning of the word inspect
I expect atheists and antitheists to change meanings of words to suit their arguments, but it is truly sad to see Christians do so.

Yes, Jesus paid our sin debt in full, but He did not purchase indulgences for us.
No one is claiming to be sinless. We are stating biblical principles. You are not arguing with us, you are arguing with the Bible
No one says salvation is by works. No one says grace through faith alone is not sufficient to save. What we are saying is what the Bible says that there are many whose faith is not genuine. Jesus said by your fruits you shall know them. John said he who says he knows Him and does not keep His commandments is a liar. Jesus said a foolish man built his house upon the sand.
These are the things we are saying. you are arguing with the Bible, not us.
We accept ALL of what the Bible teaches.

Well actually it does matter if you want to discuss scripture, since fruit has different meanings depending upon the context.
The use of the word fruit is not always about the fruits of the Spirit , it can refer to doctrine, converts etc., ....so context is crucial.
Until I know which one there is no point discussing.

A fruit inspector is one who pushes works, and is to busy tryign to figure out if people are saved by the fruit of their labor (works) instead of out trying to win souls to christ.It is usually a sign of a deep pride in how great of a person they are and how much they love God proven by all their works. And a lack of humility in seeing how sinful they are, and if left outside of grace would die in their sins.
