What came to mind was the question, "What is the fruit of Righteousness"?
Fruit that contains the incorruptible seed is the only fruit that will in turn yield the fruit of righteousness because it was plucked from the tree that is "Righteous". sw
What good purpose can any parable serve if the one speaking the parable is not clearly understood to be in possession of God given insight. sw
Which is easier to believe, "I did not know and so in turn I did wrong" or "I did what is wrong because I gave no fore thought for the sake of the one who is seen as righteous in the sight of God". sw
Prov 23:24
The father of a righteous man has great joy; he who has a wise son delights in him.
NIV
Ezek 3:20-21
"Again, when a righteous man turns from his righteousness and does evil, and I put a stumbling block before him, he will die. Since you did not warn him, he will die for his sin. The righteous things he did will not be remembered, and I will hold you accountable for his blood.
But if you do warn the righteous man not to sin and he does not sin, he will surely live because he took warning, and you will have saved yourself."
NIV
Matt 10:40-42
"He who receives you receives me, and he who receives me receives the one who sent me. Anyone who receives a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet's reward, and anyone who receives a righteous man because he is a righteous man will receive a righteous man's reward.
And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones because he is my disciple, I tell you the truth, he will certainly not lose his reward."
NIV
Moving ahead I wish to borrow from a thought I once had. That thought came in this form, "What did Adam and Eve consider to be evil prior to eating from the Tree in the midst of the Garden God instructed them NOT to eat from?
What was the name of that "Tree"?
Were Adam and Eve at that prior time before their fall abounding only in the Love of God?
Abounding in terms of their knowledge which at that time came directly from God? Were they abounding in Gods insight (freedom) as God then demonstrated having given the one He created the liberty to name every living creature He also presented to Adam so that he in turn might name them?
As he named them were the words Adam pronounced simply words or did the words Adam spoke require the used facility of the "Breath" which God also gave to dirt which God then gave the Name, "Adam"?
Breath given to man in order to then enunciate "Given" names to all living creatures (provide their genesis)?
Names which have even to this day survived the turmoil of this fallen world in which we live?
Was it actually the fruit they ate that opened their eyes (insight)? Fruit that God also made and that because He also created the Tree it came from? Fruit that also had seeds in it?
OR was it the serpent that corrupted the essence of men (dust) who then opened himself by allowing the seed from another source to be received within himself to then manifest to the point to where they then acted and took from the fruit from the same tree?
In terms of giving ones self away, what did God form man from?
What would Adam still be to this Day if God had NOT Breathed life into him?
If the word of God is believed man was formed from the "Dust" (dirt) of the Earth and IF Adam gave himself away who did Adam give himself to? Did Adam simply give away the dirt his presence came from OR did Adam give away his God given dominion over the use of the spoken word(s)?
Have you ever watched CPR being administered to a dying person? To then observe the same type of Godly dispensation of breath as if the "Living" who then dispenses what they have living within them to the dying person?
In order to live does it require a man to also "Remember" to command his lungs to draw in air or does a man continue to draw air into his lungs because of his will to live that may or may NOT also be conscious?
In terms of sharing ones will to live, do the lungs hear words or does the Mind? How important does ones words then become in terms of reaching the person being considered as unconscious?
Rom 13:11
And do this, understanding the present time. The hour has come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed.
NIV
What then was planted in the dust Adam was made from if not something spiritual in the form of words (fruit)?
If God is believed, would His breath used to pro-nounce words also prove to be "Seed"?
As do all things which also pertain to God as if the creator, ALL things He made will in their turning follow and that according to everything which is willing to follow the nature of His own spiritual order.
Gen 1:12-13
The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.
NIV
Mark 4:30
Again he said, "What shall we say the kingdom of God is like, or what parable shall we use to describe it? NIV
Mark 4:31
It is like a mustard seed , which is the smallest seed you plant in the ground.NIV
Phil 1:9-11
And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ — to the glory and praise of God. NIV
What can become the righteous fruit of God if not THE fruit that also comes forth simply because God has spoken it into being (manifestation)?
How important then does the word "Believe" become as if it were the only way to consider Gods will which then becomes your own reality?
How valuable then does this fruit of righteousness then become and that beyond satisfying "Your own" appetite? Is it always marketable? No, obviously not in all instances yet at what point does the fruit YOU eat appear to others as something that also contains spiritual nutrional value?
In terms of others eating the same type of fruit based only the appearance of the fruit versus eating from the same tree, does the fruit you eat also have seeds in it?
Seeds that have not been corrupted (genetically altered)?
That would all depend upon the seeds found in the fruit your eating would it not?
Don't believe the Lie, all fruit has seeds.
If your being told "This one fruit has NO seeds, then ask "Where does any fruit come from if not the seed"?
