A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a rotten tree bear good fruit.

[kentuck]

"Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but underneath are ravenous wolves.
By their fruits you will know them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?
Just so, every good tree bears good fruit, and a rotten tree bears bad fruit.
A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a rotten tree bear good fruit.
Every tree that does not bear good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.
So by their fruits you will know them."

2. Tree verse. Excellent.

I think that I shall never see
A poem as lovely as a tree.
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the earth's sweet flowing breast;

A tree that looks to God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;

A tree that may in summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;

Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.

Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.

---Joyce Kilmer

3. pervasion of evil...

The bread of the Passover feast was unleavened bread. Seven days prior to the feast, all leaven was to be put out of the house. Leaven symbolized the pervasion of evil as it ferments and spreads through the entire substance in which it is mixed. Therefore, unleavened bread is a symbol of purity. This alone was fitting to represent the pure and sinless body of Christ.

John 8:44 (NIV) ..."He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies."

"Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God;
because many false prophets have gone out into the world." I John 4:1
