That makes sense, Don!
Actually, Galations 5 is consistent with that because the word “fruit” is only used for what comes from the “spirit”. What comes from the flesh is referred to as “works of the flesh”.

Sorry my scholarship is so sloppy…

There are 17 greek words for the works of the flesh. The strongs definitions filled 3 pages of a word document, and when I thought about them, they are very thorough in what they cover.

I won’t put any of that on here as it is a tangent, only I think it is a telling “mirror” to look into when Jesus says that it is those who DO HIS WILL who will be able to understand truth/correct doctrine. (John 7:17)

Mt 15:9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men (444-anthropos/humans).
Mr 7:7 Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men (444-anthropos/humans).
Tit 1:14 Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men (444-anthropos/humans), that turn from the truth.

I have to add that the revelation you have received, Cheryl, is so very refreshingly redemptive! And it gives a new definition to the whole “deflection phenomenon” (aka projection, blameshifting) which Jesus referred to as “the log in their own eye”.
