The point is this there are both Catholics and Protestants who bear both good and bad fruit. There are Protestants who are better Christians than some Catholics and vice-versa. The wheat grows with the tares just like our Lord said and the examples we have posted prove this to be true. We had a wonderful African American Priest Father Cedric who taught this marevelously well. We who try to live faithfully by Christ’s teachings need to support one another and pray for one another’s sucess in reaching the lost for Christ. We need not do this as outlined in Proverbs 17:
26To impose a fine on the innocent is not right,or to flog the noble for their integrity.
It is God’s commandment that we Christians love one another period.
I have no argument with what you are saying, and it may surprise you that that was exactly the point I was making in the form of an admonition to those who constantly use the most vile attacks on their fellow Christians right here on FR.
Stated another way, when you start saying that others will be known by their fruit, it is best to check your own produce.
Amen.
