God loves everyone, but probably prefers "fruits of the spirit" over "religious nuts"!

Matt 3:8, “bring forth fruit worthy of repentance”

Matt 7:16-20, “you shall know them by their fruits, do men gather grapes of thorns or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bring forth good fruit, but a corrupt tree brings forth evil. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit nor can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that brings not forth good fruit is hewn down and cast into the fire, wherefore by their fruits you shall know them”

Gal 5:22=24, “but the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance (self-control), against such there is no law and they that are Christ’s have crucifies the flesh with the affections and lusts”

Eph 5:9-11, “for the fruit of the spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth proving what is acceptable unto the Lord and having no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness but rather reprove them.”

James 3:17, “but the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy and the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace”


Just because someone says they have a word from God does not mean they know Jesus. There are many false Christs and Christians in the world who are deceived and deceiving others. There are many teachers that claim to know Christ and that their teaching is from Christ. How can you tell the difference from the authentic fruits of the spirit and those that are counterfeits of false teachers that transform themselves into apostles of God? By their fruits, are they overcoming evil with good? Are the cursing in Jesus name? Are they loving God by keeping His commandments or are they teaching the commandments of men? Many false teachers teach lip service will save you, saying ask the Lord into your heart and you will be saved. However Jesus said it requires more than honoring Him with your lips, He said in John 3:5, “Except a man be born of the water and the Spirit He CANNOT enter into the kingdom of God” Jesus also said this, Mark 16:15-16, “Go you into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature he that believes and is baptized shall be saved but he that does not believe will be damned”. So you can believe all those false people that tell you what their teachers, and imaginations say is God’s will to be saved or you can believe the commands of Jesus. Will you obey Jesus rather than men that are religious nuts following their imaginations and man-made doctrines? When you do follow Jesus commands to be saved, then you will produce fruits of the Spirit.

Family roles in Christ…

Wives, be in subjection unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord…

(Wives the decision for a Christian family is left up to the man…pray God will be done through him and if he an unbeliever then set the proper example…and trust God will be done…)

…wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, even if any obey not the word, they may without the word be gained by the behavior of their wives; beholding your chaste (sincere or honest) behavior coupled with fear…to the end that your prayers be not hindered. (1Pe 3:1-7 ASV)


(In case the man is a hypocrite or an unbeliever…never trust him with your salvation…best you can do is pray and set a good example…you cannot keep him from choosing evil or sin…but you can influence him for Jesus by setting a proper example and praying for him and your children…you and I are not qualified to save him only Jesus the Christ is qualified to redeem him and you…so trust in Christ not your husband at all times.)


…For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the church, being himself the savior of the body. But as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives also be to their husbands in everything…


Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church…

…and gave Himself up for it; that He might sanctify it (be willing to protect her from physical death so she can lead your children to heaven even if you die physically), having cleansed it (the people in the church family) by the washing of water with the word (reading the word of God or hearing the Word), that He might present the church to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish (teach your wife the truth in the New Testament and help her be spotless before God through example and teaching God’s word) Even so ought husbands also to love their own wives as their own bodies. He that loves his own wife loves himself (love Jesus more than any but love your wife as the most important on earth and Jesus the most important period): for no man ever hated his own flesh; but nourishes and cherishes it, even as Christ also the church; because we are members of His body…(the church of Christ Romans 16:16)

For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh. This mystery is great: but I speak in regard of Christ and of the church…

…Nevertheless do you also severally love each one his own wife even as himself; and let the wife see that she fear her husband. (Eph 5:22-33 ASV)… (Husbands love your wives and wives respect your husbands…you are not qualified to pay her sins or to free her from hell only Jesus is…so set the proper example with prayer and deeds obeying Jesus first her will second…as yourself if you were in her shoes)



…Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right…

…Honor your father and mother (which is the first commandment with promise), that it may be well with thee, and you mayest live long on the earth. And, you fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but nurture them in the chastening (discipline) and admonition (encouragement) of the Lord. (Eph 6:1-4 ASV) (children obey Jesus first…then mom and dad second if there is a conflict…just as mom and dad are supposed to obey Jesus first)


Prayer for families…

Father who is heaven please heal our families and cancel all evil within each family…please meet our souls deepest needs and instruct us with the truth…help us set an good example and have the trust in our prayer to You for salvation and the right ways of Your only Fathered Son Jesus Christ…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen (Acts 20:7-8).

Please listen, watch and follow Jesus by being inspired to ask the Great Physician to heal your soul, spirit, and body (1 Thes 5:23)...





To all you you have working parts male and female...you do not need a physician you are whole go learn in silence of meditation what this means...if you have a working penis and vagina individually then find your plan and purpose as a male or female.


God forbid but genetic manipulation has caused some to have both, if this is the case let grow to maturity one will work or begin to function in puberty the other will not function... Ask Jesus of Nazareth the Christ...ask Jesus Christ how to fulfill your plan and purpose in life because you have working natural parts...


An Ai generated paraphrase...


For those of you with functioning male and female reproductive organs, you are complete and do not require medical intervention. Take the time to understand in silence what this signifies. If you possess both a penis and a vagina separately, determine your role and purpose as either a man or a woman. Unfortunately, genetic manipulation has led to some individuals having both organs. In such instances, allow one to develop and function during puberty while the other remains inactive. Seek guidance from Jesus of Nazareth, the Christ, on how to fulfill your life's intended path and purpose, given your naturally functioning parts.


Doctors and physicians, why aren't you acknowledging that if your parts are functioning properly, you don't need a physician?


Mat 9:12-13  But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.  13  But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
