Does the fruit of a doctrine prove whether it is from God or not?

Post by luchnia »

HT posted this statement - "Don't you think the fruit of a doctrine is the proof of whether or not it is from God?"

What are your thoughts on the above statement?

A doctrine is simply a belief or set of beliefs. Before one can determine whether a doctrine is from God, there would need to be a method to determine if the doctrine is not in error and what does from God mean?

Does from God mean it was directly given to a person from the mouth of God, or just a belief derived from their perception of certain scriptures? If a person is proclaiming their belief about something is from God does the fruit of their belief give evidence that it is?
