Mathew 7: 18 "A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit." Using this definition, cant you conclude that books such as the Talmud, Quran, and the Book of Mormon that have produced good, honest people could be considered of God?

Just smile - Quick question, so would you consider when Moses commands his people that when they conquer the caananites that it was okay to enslave the women and children and take their virgins as extra wives as godly? Seriously, the Bible teaches some pretty ungodly stuff as well - but teachings in both the bible and the quran have inspired good actions by righteous people.

Yes!
I think Jesus Christ gave us a yardstick to judge the existing and forthcomming nations but some false inspirations and brainwashing in churches do not allow people to use this yardstick.
Quran had totally changed the pagans of Arabia who later called Muslims - servants of God. Many nations embraced Islam willingly including the 10 lost tribes of Israel living in Khorasan, Neshapur and Kashmir..... They changed the world map of 6th century and established the foretold Kingdom of God. No other nation could establish such a large state ever in the history!
Yet! the blidness of some people does not allow them to see the good fruit of good tree?
May God guide them, Ameen.

you need to understand what the fruits are my friend.
When we have yielded to the Spirit, we produce fruit; the Holy Spirit harvests a crop from our soil. An evil spirit produces bad fruit; the Holy Spirit produces good fruit. What kind of fruit do we yield?
17 "Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.
18 "A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit.
19 "Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
20 "Therefore by their fruits you will know them. Matthew 7:17-20
So if we are saved, and have God’s Spirit dwelling us, are we producing “good fruit”? The fruit we produce is an indication of our relationship. Galatians lists these fruits and they are clear indication if we have yielded to the Holy Spirit.
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.
24 And those who are Christ's have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
26 Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another. Galatians 5:22-26
My friend, without Jesus there can be NO good fruit.

God's inspired notice is the Bible. The Bible is complete of God's fact, and there is not any blunders. From what you say, there could be some fact interior the Quran, besides the undeniable fact that it is not God's inspired notice neither is it nicely suited thoroughly with the Bible. edit: interpreting some solutions under, I ought to upload that if certainly the Quran does no longer know Jesus as God and Lord and Savior, then it somewhat is in grave blunders. only pointing out or "recognizing" Jesus isn't adequate. Seeing Him as he's and what He has achieved is.

Each cult has its own bible. It may be a book that is added to the Bible or it may be a book that substitutes for the Bible. In either case, the replacement book is a false source for truth. God said about His Book, the Bible, "For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book." Revelation 22:18 & 19. The Bible stands alone as God’s Word, and needs no additional book to explain or complete it.

Did any man in the Quran or in the Book of Mormon had sex with his 2 young virgin daughters and got them both pregnant to the point that the Christian God the Holy Ghost inspired the Bible writers to declare that on top of all that Lot was a RIGHTEOUS MAN???
Come on... let's be fair!

no. You've taken that passage out of context. He is talking about how you act, not what you read. Some muslims produce good fruit, we all know that many fundamentalist muslims produce black, evil fruit.
