So, i mow the yard, and trim all the dead shrubs--green or not, there will never be any fruit--and now, I'm even putting down black mulch, to complete the picture. I live in a funeral
See, the proclamations one makes about their "beliefs" carry exactly zero weight, with God; lots of people proclaim lots of things. Talk is cheap. There are at least 100 verses in the NT--many i have repeated these last few days--that will assure one that Love is the command, that existed before the NT. Find them, or ignore them.

I never said anything about no need to bear fruit. Why the red herrings?
