Discuss James 1 Page 28

Galations 3:29 shows those in Christ ARE the seed of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob Israel.
Matthew 15:24 - But he Jesus answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

Don't assume Paul is saying sin is justified.

For even the Head Apostle, Peter, said Paul's writings are hard to be understood, as other scriptures, 2 Peter 3:16.

Adultery is adultery, fornication is fornication, lasciviousness is lasciviousness.

To commit adultery saying we do it unto Christ is saying, God is confusion.

But God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, 1 Corinthians 14:33.

Can sin bring peace?

Blessed is the man that endureth temptation, James 1:12

Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.

Do not err, my beloved brethren, James 1:15-16

The FIRST thing to note in Verse 1, is that this epistlebwas NOT addressed to everyone in the world, but to the 12 scattered tribes of Israel, scattered all over the world, through SLAVERY(CAPTIVITY). Now THIS SHOULD give you an idea of WHO these ppl are, because the Real Jews/Israelites were taken out of the land, sent off into CAPTIVITY for their sins, as Christ Himself said in Luke 21:24..proving those living in Israel today, CANT be the real Jews..but rather jew-ish!!
This WHY James said "My Brethren" which literally mean "My BROTHERS" because James is also an Israelite!
If u bypass this first 2 verses without acknowledging this, then u would think this epistle was for everyone. Its not!

Taking part in these discussions is in a big way doing the Lord's work. Two Christians discussing the Word is a Church.

we all have to watch our tongues, and be doers of God's Word. or we are fooling ourselves. and we must be doers of gods word, we can't just ignore God's word and go on with our lives. our lives as the world is are not important. Only our Spiritual lives with God in God are important. We must be doers of Gods word. , not live the evil ways of the world today. The ways of the world are just evil, just look around. Look at the way people dress, especially us women. We might just as well be wearing nothing. God wants us to dress modestly. The way we are in this world of today is the devils way. That is not a doer for God.

Jude 1:24-25

It seems that here Jesus demonstrating the state of mind that could lead to adultery. (compare James 1:14, 15). Even ancient servants of God understood that they should avoid looking at a woman with lust ( Job 31:1). However, the Bible dosen't show that a woman should not look attractive. See Job 42:15. Men can notice lady's beauty and express their admiration, as it is seen in the Song of Solomon. But the motives are the key. David used to watch bathing Bathsheba with immoral intentions ( 2 Samuel 11). As for the married couple, please, consider 1 Corinthians 7:2, 5. Therefore, it seems that no one lusts after their own spouse.

James 1:27 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world. My mom told me when my dad died Christians help her but family told her the Christians were keeping her from having fun. My mom left the place the Christians provide for us and went to the family but they didn t accept us.

I'm not yet understanding what you think is the contradiction. James 1:13 says God doesn't tempt people to do evil, nor can God be tempted to do evil Himself. The other is Jesus giving an example prayer to deliver us away from the temptation, which is from Satan. Can you please explain in more detail why you think this is a contradiction?

Cheryl there is a lot of Contradiction on the Internet especially with seeking knowlage about God related Realities. The best way to get answers is His way and He tells us we need His Wisdom Prov4:7 none of us were Born with it so we all lack it James 1:5-8 Jesus tells us in Luke 11:9-13 Ask Seek and Knock and we will Receive and than know God's Truth and His Good will for us in All things 1Cor2.

slothfulness is of the mouth the tongue deceives other praising themselves a babblers tongue, thanks you for the wisdom and God Bless

there are many poor who labor hard with very little in return. But Jesus did speak quite a bit on this, Luke 6: 21-22 Luke 12: 32-34, Hebrews 1:3. There are many weak in spirit as well, that need to hear the truth of the Love of God and he sees them right where they are he is with them, and they are not forgotten in his eyes, we too should be more like God he teaches us to be humble, feed them

There will always be the poor. The Lord hates the lazy. He says when we finish with the harvest, let the poor come and glean what they can from the field. This means the poor still have to work. Go to the field. Pick the spoils. Pound the wheat to flour. Bake the bread. Slothfulness is a sin.

Jim: YES! Thank you! I try to tell people that, Like the Book of James 1:22 says, "But be ye doers of the word and not hearers only, deceiving yourself. But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.

Perhaps one of the most underrated verses in the Bible, James 1:27 - Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To care for the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world. In God's wisdom, power and love he puts caring FIRST. I plead for all to remember and do this. Imagine the despair and suffering this will cure. PRAISE GOD!

Hi Stangett, it seems like I was your confused in regard to some Scriptures, My confusion was mostly because of the contradictions with some who Taught it but I was ok with others. The Lord showed me the need to ask for His Wisdom which none of us were Born with Proverbs 4:7 - James 1:5 I than started to understand His Truth although I'm still learning the confusion is gone. Blessings - Anne.

When you receive His Spirit inside of you, you will know that the Word of God is truth. Then, my Christian friends they we will see.

Faith and Patience are fruits of the Spirit of God that must be developed by trials and tribulations. Its our duty as believers to know the works of the Spirit to enjoy His mercy, charity,clemency, grace, leniency that comes from the trials of Faith and Patience to helps us choose good over evil. Amen

God promises blessings for obedience not poverty he became poor in our place as matt 8 17 says of our sin and afflictions he took them so we can be free of them dont believe the devil that stayin poor is humility saten wants you poor to keep from spreading the gospel to all the world

Kevin Pfaunmiller, read from the KJV Bible these scriptures, Matthew 5:28 Leviticus 7:15 18:6 1 John 2:16 James 1:14-15 Galatians 5:16. Lust is mentioned 19 times in the King James Bible.

This is Christ words. Matt 5:17-18 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. 18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. james 1:22But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves

I'm afraid you err. This book is for all believers in Christ Jesus.

2 Tim 3:16-17 GB!

do not think those that are well to do deserve more respect then a poor person, knowone is above anyone. Respect all and seems the uppity need lessons on this, today they want to create more poor with their own greed. God help them when they knock at the door

a double minded man, you cant walk in the middle, it's doing the works of God by telling the truth, and preaching the whole word of God in this good book, do not preach cherry picking. some like to lack the word of hell, but that road is wide and the road to our Father is narrow, you want to love thy neighbor by leading them in truth, and take care of the poor. widows and fatherless

AMEN, AMEN. AMEN!!

If anyone considers himself religious and yet does not keep a tight rein on his tongue, he deceives himself and his religion is worthless. James 1:26. So let's use our speech to bless and encourage, not to curse, slander.or gossip. Walking with God is helping others less fortunate. Teach as Jesus did when He walked this earth. Use your words today to Bless, encourage. Show your LOVE.

James 1:13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:
14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.
15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.

We have ways of doing things on our own .Never having enough faith to wait on JESUS. And that"s when faith is working patience.
