John 12:47 If anyone listens to my sayings, and doesn't believe, I don't judge him. For I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.

Here is the volatile cocktail Christ would not mix for his listeners. They wanted to push Christ into their cardinal mind, that is, their fleshly mind by having him judge by the law created by God to judge his people in their flesh, but as what? Eternal life, or as Sinners!

That is like saying: “I am a sinner, and I can't stop sinning because I am dying, but I want to judge it some more! I want to add sin to sin so I can get eternal life!”

John 8:51 Most certainly, I tell you, if a person keeps my word, he will never see death."

John 8:52 Then the Jews said to him, "Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets; and you say, 'If a man keeps my word, he will never taste of death.'

Romans 5:12 Therefore, as sin entered into the world through one man, and death through sin; and so death passed to all men, because all sinned.

Romans 6:9 knowing that Christ, being raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no more has dominion over him!

Romans 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death.

A tree is a tree do we need to legalize it into a something its not to condone our conscience? Did the tree of Israel produce one person without sin, or was the very tree corrupted by sin because the law could not remove sin? So why would Christ judge by something that any person with a half of brain could see, who live in sin. But that was not the solution to removing sin once for all times?

Galatians 3:22 But the Scriptures imprisoned all things under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.

Romans 4:15 For the law works wrath, for where there is no law, neither is there disobedience.

Romans 6:14 For sin will not have dominion over you. For you are not under law, but under grace.

Galatians 2:19 For I, through the law, died to the law, that I might live to God.

Galatians 2:21 I don't make void the grace of God. For if righteousness is through the law, then Christ died for nothing!"

Galatians 5:4 You are alienated from Christ, you who desire to be justified by the law. You have fallen away from grace.

Galatians 5:18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

Hebrews 7:16 who has been made, not after the law of a fleshly commandment, but after the power of an endless life:

Hebrews 7:19 (for the law made nothing perfect), and a bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw near to God.

If Christ had incorporated two covenants as equal and co-existing having the same power of life in them to produce a sinless person, honestly, what would of happen to the pure unadulterated truth of God, who is the Christ?

Hebrews 10:1 For the law, having a shadow of the good to come, not the very image of the things, can never with the same sacrifices year by year, which they offer continually, make perfect those who draw near.

But he did not do that, eventhough, his listener seen no harm in it, but Christ was the truth, and could not speak a lie without doing just as Satan had done corrupting all mankind into sin and death the very reason God sent his Son to us to fix the problem as the last Adam without sin making him the father of the human race in a new heavens and earth.

1 Corinthians 15:45 So also it is written, "The first man, Adam, became a living soul."{Genesis 2:7} The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.

That world he was sent to was the nation of Israel , an no other world did Christ go into on earth. He was not going to judge that nation with the law of that nation that is the reason he came not to judge them as sinner by their law, a proven fact of material law that have been proven in a court of law for two thousand's years they were sinners convicted and sentence by birth into sin and death.

Once a person is convicted by a law the court does not keep convicting them each day to prove what is proven. The court God set up proved and convicted all Israel as sinner the penalty was death all are dying in the law.

Matt.7:1 "Don't judge, so that you won't be judged.
7:2 For with whatever judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with whatever measure you measure, it will be measured to you.

What did that world need? Salvation, but from what? The judgment of their flesh condemned by its law for sinner. How can condemnation be salvation, which is free of judgments of our already convicted flesh? There is a salvation of the flesh, but that is not the salvation of the spirit, the spirit is not under the same laws as the flesh is? Salvation of flesh saves flesh for a few more years then God's finish judgment must come death!

We will not find Jesus teaching salvation of the flesh, but will find those in their cardinal mind having little or no problem mixing the two covenant into a religious volatile cocktail. But not Christ, he had no cardinal mind, he had God's mind as his head, he had a Spirit law that was of eternal life, and had never been under death by sin, he had eternal life in him God, and it could not be mixed into death, that is, the old law of death found in all humans under sin.

Romans 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death.

Romans 8:3 For what the law couldn't do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God did, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh;

Romans 8:4 that the ordinance of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

Romans 8:7 because the mind of the flesh is hostile towards God; for it is not subject to God's law, neither indeed can it be.

And that is why Christ stated something that if put into the fleshly mind sounds logical, but put into the Spirit mind of Christ which we have as Christian's present something that cannot be mixed or changed like it or not. He said a good tree cannot bear bad fruit, now heavy on the “cannot”!

And a corrupt tree can't produce good fruit, and he was not talking about literal trees here. Physical trees can have good fruit one year if condition are right and bad fruit the next if condition are bad. So it easy for the fleshly mind to justify the good and bad in themselves and their religion. But let us remember Christ was no part of their world, his wisdom did not come from below, and he certainly was not saying the flesh could save us, and/or please God.

Matt.7:15 "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves.
7:16 By their fruits you will know them. Do you gather grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles? 7:17 Even so, every good tree produces good fruit; but the corrupt tree produces evil fruit.

7:18 A good tree can't produce evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree produce good fruit.
7:19 Every tree that doesn't grow good fruit is cut down, and thrown into the fire.

So what was he saying; judge what is righteous not by sight, but faith in me who never produce bad fruit and cannot! If you want to be in the law tree that tree will not, and cannot produce the fruit of life only found in me that all must eat of to have eternal life. (that is the life of Christ in us)

If false prophets try to confuse us by saying life came though the law of sin, and they demand we practice it or we are a sinner, we are to know the truth, and what is that truth is it of the flesh or Spirit? Christ has by the Spirit saved us from our sins, but how? Come on now, by putting our sinful flesh to death so we made a part of Christ the living life Spirit life of the perfect tree producing only good fruit. (Christ is incorruptible without flesh or this world)

John.5:1 "I am the true vine, and my Father is the farmer.
15:2 Every branch in me that doesn't bear fruit, he takes away. Every branch that bears fruit, he prunes, that it may bear more fruit. 15:3 You are already pruned clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. 15:4 Remain in me, and I in you. As the branch can't bear fruit by itself, unless it remains in the vine, so neither can you, unless you remain in me.
15:5 I am the vine. You are the branches. He who remains in me, and I in him, the same bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. 15:6 If a man doesn't remain in me, he is thrown out as a branch, and is withered; and they gather them,

Now that is why Christ could say if you believe in me, you have eternal life, when did we have eternal life? Now by our faith, or was it contingent upon us keeping the law (by works of law) which no sinner can do? You see, we cannot mix darkness into the light, sin is darkness, and God faithfully point it out to us plain and simple throw them into the fire, and they are burned.
15:7 If you remain in me, and my words remain in you, you will ask whatever you desire, and it will be done for you. that he hates sin and it is darkness, and corruption. Are we sons of light or darkness, if we are into the law, and have not been put to death made free from the law power we are in darkness no matter how much we love the law it is death to us, and that truth can never change because light does not vary or changes by human whims of their unrighteous flesh.

Now that was very offensive to that world the Jews nation at Christ time, and sadly it is just as offensive to the world of many Christian's today and since Christ was here.

2 Timothy 1:9 who saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given to us in Christ Jesus before times eternal.

2 Timothy 2:1 You therefore, my child, be strengthened in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.

2 Timothy 4:22 The Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Grace be with you. Amen.
