@UnderGrace by our behaviour.[/QUOTE]
Him in our hearts should reflect in our behavior, though, right? . I mean it is one sure way to discern and examine our walk with Him. Our thoughts, actions, words, even feelings should line up with the will of Him. But of course, that is where He and His Grace comes in.

Nothing you say has value.....you cannot be honest about the facts and are embellishing what we say to prove a moot point....what I said is valid....I could care less if you don't like it or believe it....
Peter was saved, immersed and walked with JESUS 3 years, walked on water , raised the dead, healed the sick and JESUS rebuked him and said WHEN YOU ARE CONVERTED Strengthen the brethern.....
So....get honest or simply do not address me........last chance pal

I though you said you know Greek
You must be kidding, because they teach the difference between the indicative mood and the subjunctive mood in the first 2-3 weeks of the first semester. Pretty much right after the alphabet, which takes one class to learn and one week to study, and then a test, then they usually jump right into verbs, and in the beginning they explain tense, voice, mood, person, and number the very next class or sometime very soon after.
SO you should know that EG changed your words.
IT takes years to bear fruit- indicative mood
It may take years to bear fruit- subjunctive mood
THESE TWO PHRASES have completely different meanings. Therefore, EG changed your words so that he could agree with you.
anyone with a fourth grade education, or maybe even less knows the difference between "it takes" and "it may take"
Therefore, you and he are the ones who are being honest, for you sound otherwise like educated people

Do you believe this-->JESUS begins, finishes and COMPLETES the work of faith in us.
Either you do or you do not..........SO........only on thing can be deduced if you do not believe JESUS finishes and completes the work of FAITH he begins in every believer
a. JESUS fails and does not finish or complete his work of faith he begins which makes him a weak inept liar that cannot finish what he starts

hub and I can share from personal experience, 'immediately after the indwelling of The Holy Spirit',
you will begin your new journey of bearing Godly fruit, no matter how small it may seem to you or others,
The Spirit that is within us will show us how and when we must serve and begin our new life of walking in Jesus footsteps...

DC, you know greek and you don't know the difference between indicative and subjunctive mood?!!!
I could be wrong. Did you say you know greek. Or even grammar in general
If not, I apologize
Your statement was in the indicative
EG agreed with you, supposedly, but changed your statement to a subjunctive
From "it takes many years" to "it might take many years"
So either you are being disingenuious, or you know NOTHING about greek or grammar.
Oh, and an indicative statement from the bible that teaches it takes many years to bear fruit, OR DON'T ADDRESS ME.

People who don't know the difference between indicative mood and subjunctive mood...make bad exegetes
"it takes years...to bear fruit"
"it may take years...to bear fruit.
NOT EVEN CLOSE TO SAYING THE SAME THING. Anyone who knows anything about language knows this.
SO yes, EG changed your words, shifted the goalposts, and agreed with you by disagreeing with you. LOL
Imagine if we turned the indicative statements of the bible and turned them into subjunctives. Or vice versa
Maybe that's why you make such critical errors.
Where does the Bible state that it takes years of growth and maturity to bear fruit.
If you want to stop calling me a liar, I will stop replying
If you keep calling me a liar, I will bury you in your own lies, because I still have much more things to expose you in. Right now, I'm using kids gloves.

SO if you guys don't call me another name or attack me, I will go away and not come back. Otherwise I am going to stay.
I'd rather leave. But I don't like backbiters who talk about people when they think their gone.
SO it's up to you. Like the song says "should I stay or should I go"
No more personal attacks and I will leave.

This is Thayers for the word no:
G3361
μή
mē
Thayer Definition:
1) no, not lest
Part of Speech: particle
A Related Word by Thayer’s/Strong’s Number: a primary particle of qualified negation (whereas G3756 expresses an absolute denial)
Can anyone break this down to simpler words? Lol

Of course there's a difference. But, the scriptures uses pictures to make points, like trees. I'm not an expert by any means but I would ask if certain fruits take longer to be produced.
Do you know about crabapple trees? They are sour, but I liked them. Takes a lot of salt though to eat them.
