Bearing fruit Quote by Kalki
““...if one keeps seeking revenge, there will be no end to violence. To avenge the Chalukya Emperor’s invasion, the Kanchi Chakravarthy will invade Vatapi. The scions of the Chalukya dynasty will invade Kanchi again to seek revenge. Just like a tree growing from a seed and seed-bearing fruit growing on that tree, the cycle of evil in this world will be never-ending. Someone must forget and forgive for the sake of this world’s well-being.””

![“The doctrine of the carnal Christian[32] has destroyed more lives and sent more people to hell than you can imagine! Do Christians struggle with sin? Yes. Can a Christian fall into sin? Absolutely. Can a Christian live in a continuous state of carnality all the days of his life, not bearing fruit…” quote by Paul Washer](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/e9d/paul-washer-1468_bearing-fruit_the-doctrine-of-the-carnal-christian-32_865216.jpg)
