The Fruit of the Tree

The bible says You'll know my people by the apples that fall from their tree But what does that mean The apples are the fruit of the tree The product that the tree produces The fruits of religion are sometimes creating schools Nursing home's assistance for people in need But when greed takes over The fruits become feather beds for themselves burning and killing people In the fifteenth hundreds Bishop Hepburn's "The Great Dilapidator of the The See of Moray had nine children for whom he provided, at the expense of the church." Adam Colquhoun, the parson of Stobo The house in Glasgow was stocked with expensive furniture This is all history, which you can read about in books When Martin Luther wrote his seventy-nine-page thesis against indulgences It did more than he expected It created the Reformation and the protestant church Catholics retaliated by murdering people Patrick Hamilton took six hours to burn Catholics burnt Protestants Then Protestants took power and burnt Catholics The fruit of their tree was murder When the bible says Thou shalt not kill The people who did this are dead Hopefully, we have learned lessons from the past Yet when you see people killing each other Jihadists cutting off heads Maybe we are still too stupid to learn God wrote with his hand The Ten Commandments Thou shalt not kill Applied to everybody. Muslims, Christians, and Hebrew all believe in the same God That God gave you the commandment Thou shalt not kill If the fruit of your Church, Synagogue, or mosque is to murder people Then you do not follow The commandments of God or Allah The fruit of your tree shows you are not one of God or Allah's people Revenge is mine, sayeth the lord He expected his people to live in peace claiming the right of revenge only for himself It amazes me how many religious cults have committed mass suicide challenged the authorities with weapons Or like Manson murdered people When clearly in the bible it says If somebody steals your jacket, give him your vest If somebody hits you, turn the other cheek the bible is against violence If everybody in the world followed the bible You would have no reason to defend yourself because nobody is allowed to hurt you If you cause one little one who believes in me to sin It would be better for you to have a millstone hung around your neck Committing murder is a sin a sin you are teaching others
