this is a theory
my understanding of spirits
spirits to me equate to them being characteristics and the attitudes ascribed to them characteristics wether good bad or indifferent.- does anyone concur?

KABOOM!!

Maybe some think Islam produces fruits of the spirit too?

Theres also more than just fellowshipping or not with those who have an appearance of the fruits of the spirits.

Its funny that just like the million and one times God said he is One God and there is no other and the amount of times that Israel went and worshiped false Gods to their own detriments (maybe they were also practised the appearance of fruits of the spirits with these false gods - still didnt save them then)

And just as consistently the scripture continues to point out that foundational beliefs are extremely important People still like to show their own blatant ignorance and pretend no such guidance exists in scripture - Often I wonder why God puts up with us species lol

It is human nature to have selective thinking, selective beliefs, selective understanding (often to appease our own selves, lifestyles or those of people we know) etc but the fact is non of that changes who God is, what he wants and expects and what he teaches us and guides us to do and believe. I'd rather appease God any day then misrepresent his word to appease myself or someone else as I have often seen heretics do and the poor suckers that follow them.

Ephesians 4 points out to be like minded in beliefs as a key to being one with God and Christ amongst a million other chapters and verses that provide us with what to believe - how to believe, examples of believers lives etc, the only way out is to do what some heretics do and claim its just a book and let the "spirit" guide you. Good luck with that.

Hebrews 11

By Faith We Understand

1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

sorry guys, my bad
