A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit:

[quietthinker]

Something I struggle with that you maybe can explain. What is the difference between fruit and works? Fruit makes sense since it is clearly produced by the Spirit? can fruit be produced by another spirit(meaning evil?). But something you said above makes me think I confuse the two: fruit and works(deeds). Is fruit what the Spirit bears? And works(deeds) what the flesh bears. Or is it not that simple. For instance: if I am ruled by a new Master(God) instead of by that old sin nature; does this produce evident works(deeds) visible in the flesh? The old sin nature no longer having dominion over us? James 2:18 18Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.

Every time I think it makes sense, then it doesn't.

It's really quiet uncomplicated ViJ. The language of fruit and works indicate the same thing. The works of the spirit have longevity whereas works that are a pretence are by their very nature short lived and so exposed as such.
'Nice' is not nice when teeth are bared.

NICE

When nice was born the angels wept
and Satan was a grinner
for truth now had a counterpart
which made him look a winner.

That polished smile with interest feigned
an act to win an Oscar
a heart annealed, with pride displayed
aspiring of the all star.

Ahhhh, nice, she walks the pleasant way
with flattery as companion
a single unit, how they dance
as if they were the champions.

Observer with the practiced eye
will watch as she undresses
yet baring all holds no surprise
in spite of her caresses.
