Matt.7:16 By their fruits you will know them. Do you gather grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles?
Christ makes a simple profound everlasting truth in his statement of not gathering grapes or figs from thorns and thistles. No human would think that grapes and figs come from a thorn bush, the two are incompatible. However, when it comes to false prophets the subject is blurred by words, not common sense fruit on a vine!
James 3:14 But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, don't boast and don't lie against the truth. 3:15 This wisdom is not that which comes down from above, but is earthly, sensual, and demonic. 3:16 For where jealousy and selfish ambition are, there is confusion and every evil deed.
Christ is dealing with those under law here, he has not yet died and fulfilled the law, but once he did that, he became our tree of life, the real vine producing good fruit all the time, that is, without sin. Moreover, at the same time Satan would go to work on over-sowing God's planting with weed Christian's. Thus, using God's word, but proving false to its power. A corrupted yeast kingdom would emerge into a massive lump of false teachings, an empire of false religion once again enslaving people into sin, and the corruption of sin by God's word the bible.
James 3:10 Out of the same mouth comes forth blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so. 3:11 Does a spring send out from the same opening fresh and bitter water? 3:12 Can a fig tree, my brothers, yield olives, or a vine figs? Thus no spring yields both salt water and fresh water. 3:13 Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by his good conduct that his deeds are done in gentleness of wisdom.
All human have sin, so their trees or fruits seem enchanting, but actually they are thorns and thistles, outside God's paradise, Christ Jesus the tree of life that few would find, but why? Because weed Christian's look to man and his institution(s) for life, they are devastated when a religious organization produces the same fruits of corruption as the very government(s) of mankind. It's shocking when picking fruits they thought were eternal life they get bloody fingers, by human crudity just like beast like traits of mankind government.
Philippians 3:1 Finally, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not tiresome, but for you it is safe. 3:2 Beware of the dogs, beware of the evil workers, beware of the false circumcision. 3:3 For we are the circumcision, who worship God in the Spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.
But they are also blinded and deceived thinking God's fruit tree can have both good and evil (sin and no sin) upon it by religious teachings, which is a lie? There is only one uncorrupted tree, without sin, and all whom are sinless stem from one, Christ Jesus. But Christ is not building a kingdom through worldly institution(s) he has a everlasting kingdom that will not end. Christ does not take yeast of sin and reform it into his kingdom, no!
Everything in Christ Kingdom is new, made new by the blood of Christ Jesus without human hands, that is, from Adam's sin, this is why only a few actually find Christ Kingdom outside of all of Satan system of things being feed by the head of the congregation Christ Jesus the everlasting Word of God.
1 Corinthians 5:8 Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old yeast, neither with the yeast of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
John 6:48 I am the bread of life.
John 6:50 This is the bread which comes down out of heaven, that anyone may eat of it and not die.
