Why do we say fruits of the Spirit or Holy Spirit? It is in the singular. THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! well the answer is just as we say-- the fruit of an apple tree-- or the fruit of a lemon tree-- or look at the fruit on the grape fruit tree! and spiritually-- if we are on the Vine of christ-- then - we will have fruit of the Spirit hanging on us-- and it is not our fruit-- we are just part of the vine-- it is the fruit of the spirit -- if we really are on the vine-- this is why we can ck out people to see if they are producing "holy Spirit" fruit-- or are they producing self fruit, gee i'm nice -- so it muct be the spirit fruit LOL

Re: Fruit of the Spirit I am OP. I do not have the time or talent to look at the Greek and if necessary, the Hebrew in the Old Testament. I liked Della's first answer. I am not sure about the Greek grammar. I have no idea at all.

Truth is; because it MUST BE singular How then can there be thousands of differing Protestant "faiths" and churches holding only ONE possible truth?:o __________________  PJM  http://working4christ2.wordpress.com Can we partake of God's GLORY and NOT partake of His PASSION?
