You Will Know Them by Their Fruits Mathew 7... 15 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. 16 You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? 17 Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Therefore by their fruits you will know them.

Luke 6:45 "The good person out of the good treasure of his heart produces good, and the evil person out of his evil treasure produces evil, for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks."

Thanks @washiku. Let him who has an ear hear! I will continue in encouraging @mukiri to do good. The thing with online forums is that we assume that the rules in face to face communication aren't applicable. So you find polite fellows in life who are rude here. And by theway @mukiri, I am a victim of your insults, 'kufuata fuata' and 'not minding your own business'. For you found us in a discussion with soeone else, gave your unsolicted advice, when I didn't agree you hurled insults. So I'm not speaking for others only.

with the tongue we praise the Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in God's likeness. Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers, this should not be. Can both fresh and saltt water flow from the same spring? Can a fig tree bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Neither can a salt spring produce fresh water. (James 3:9-12)

If it is sharing the word or living by example by all means do so. However if it is passing judgment with some microscope then . Psalm 14:1, Proverbs 1:7, Proverbs 26:1, Proverbs 29:11, Proverbs 26:4-5, Proverbs 29:20, Proverbs 17:28, Proverbs 20:3, Romans 1:21-23, Matthew 7:24-27 Seriously young man, are you that hard-headed? I challenge you, please show me 10 posts that you have shared bits of wisdom/knowledge. 10 posts that are not about 'fuata fuataring' people around. Your last 10 posts don't show any.

(James 3:9-12)  Very good Bible verses. @l o l e s t... You have said that you are an 'OLD CHRISTIAN' and that there is 'MORE BIBLE IN YOU'. I challenge you again, based on the above verses, to show us 10 posts, that show us what is in your heart. 10 posts that share wisdom/knowledge. I'm waiting.

Old man, see my earlier post. Do you become Christian by just quoting scripture? If that was the case, Satan would be a Christian! For the red herring you're throwing, pole. You said you cannot be asked to do anything by anyone, why should I do your bidding then. If it disturbs you so much, start a thread on me so that we do not derail this one. Peleka your beef there. I will consider your beef and take a break for a week or two. Then if need be I will surely apologise to you and to any other offended person. Doesn't have to be win-lose as you always see it. I cann gain from your zeal as a zealous savedie and me as the old CU types could have gotten cold. Kazi kwako!

Sometimes in life we have to accept we are wrong, at least for humility's sake. Accepting reprimand(read correction) when we are wrong is part of humility. Nobody is perfect and thus everyone will need to be corrected at a point. But correction can never shape us to better people if we never take it. If we never listen. Or if we always fight back correction(good) with evil. James 4:10-"Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up." Proverbs 17:10 A reprimand impresses a person who has understanding more than a hundred lashes impress a fool. 11 A rebel looks for nothing but evil. Therefore, a cruel messenger will be sent [to punish] him. 12 Better to meet a bear robbed of its cubs than a fool [carried away] with his stupidity. 13 Whoever pays back evil for good-- evil will never leave his home. 14 Starting a quarrel is [like] opening a floodgate, so stop before the argument gets out of control. A friend who tells you of your wrongdoings is a better have than one who conceals... Proversbs 27: 5 Better an open reprimand than concealed love. 6 The wounds of a friend are trustworthy, but the kisses of an enemy are excessive. Proverbs 25:12 And a wise friend's timely reprimand is like a gold ring slipped on your finger. 13 Reliable friends who do what they say are like cool drinks in sweltering heat - refreshing!

I will show you and Wazua what a sanctimonious judgmental empty vessel you are. I will start your thread based on your posts from now on. That is a promise. @Washiku, I feel you. We all desire to learn, dialogue, share etc in a conducive environment. But I'm sure you'll agree with me, just like in a goat-eating, you can't enjoy your meat and stories, when there is a pesky house-fly always roundabout you. Certainly not those green toilet house-flies. You will leave your nyama-choma, swat the house-fly, then get back. If the house fly leaves on its own volition, wonderful! If not... like I've been told, kazi kwangu.
