GOP Gospel: By Their Fruits Shall Ye Know Them
Day 33 of my Lent project. For background, please read this.
A reading from the Gospel according to the GOP:
"Beware of false prophets, who come appealing to your natural sense of goodness and love, but seek to deceive you into the way of sin. You will know them by their ignorance of scripture, for one can only know the will of God through the Word of God. The righteous man can quote chapter and verse, but the unrighteous dwells in darkness. Many are they who would seek to use your better nature to corrupt you. Corrupt enough people this way, and the very structure of society will crumble and fall. But a society founded on scripture will not fall.
Matthew 7:15-20
"Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thorns, or figs from thistles? In the same way, every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus will you know them by their fruits."
