Discuss James 2 Page 17

The laws statues, commandments, were only given to the Israelites, Romans 9:1-5, Salvation is only for the Israelites Luke 1:68-75, you must walk in faith and works James 2:22. The new Kingdom is for Israel, Jeremiah 31:31, Hebrews 8:8. To get eternal life you must do the commandments of God Matthew 19:16, 1 John 5:3, John 14:15, Ecclesiastes 12:13. God hates the sinners Ecclesiasticus 12:6.

Laws, statues, and commandments are not done away with like many Christians think - there are over 600.. Sacrifices were only ended. Grace gave us time to get it as right as possible before your death on the end of the world, then judgement will come. All of this is with respect to the Messiah - the son of TMH. Colossians 3:17, Hebrews 9:15. Faith Works are a must James 2:22.

What, O vain MAN? YOU child of the devil, YOU enemy of all righteousness, perverting the right ways of the LORD JESUS CHRIST! Do I not hear and see all these things? Does not MY HOLY Father give me all things in heaven AND earth? Ye imagine to separate and sue the Christ child, even the Son whom GOD raised again from the dead? YOU want repayment? WOE TO THEM THAT SIN, AND KEEP NOT MY COMMANDMENTS.

Only good overcomes evil. Evil as a response only makes more evil. We cannot be focused on the splinter in our neighbors eye because our focus should be on the Lord....mercy always overcomes judgement

Faith: to stand firm in what has been preached to us by the Fathers, the Prophets, the Saints, what God has spoken to them, that God has given/written the law in a book, and that it is required of us, who profess to have understanding of the word, to absorb the truth that is written and profess that alone, their is no private interpretation that will suffice. We must rely on the Book andunderstand

Look easy believing is not faith it is an easy way for people to try to get God to conform to mans way of thinking instead of conforming to the way of a all powerful God, all knowing, and perfect in all judgement with love, if you have no works with your faith you are useless to the up building of the kingdom of God we need God but God does not need us he desires fellowship with us forever.

God always requires more than belief... 1 Peter 3:8-11. Even under the Mosaic law mankind was to do more than just believe... Mark 1:17-21! Even the bible says in James 2:17-20 that it is not enough to just believe! This is a myth propagated by the devil!

Faith/Work or Work/Faith (as it relate to salvation) is two-words spelled different but has the same meaning in the Heart /dictionary of Jehovah/GOD; so, we achieving what GOD desires, the way HE want us too achieve it, causes the definition of these two words to be in-sep-able (1-example; For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also).

I think that the devils believe in God and tremble. We must do more than just believe. Works are the fruits of the spirit. You will know them by their fruits. If you bare no fruits and only have belief in Jesus, God will cut your branch off the vine and burn you. As Christian we were grafted into the vine. If you bare no fruits you are toast.

Verse 3~We must show honor and respect to all no matter if they are rich or poor.

Yet now, being the last days of the last time, with Christ being raised again from the dead; even walking the earth in his flesh (and the end of this world being nigh:) The confessions, or lack thereof, of every spirit gives the Godly discernment of the ungodly. The ungodly spirit confesses not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh, but the loving spirits of God confess that Christ is now come.

A disciple,
The Spirit will convict us whether we have Jesus in our hearts and minds or not. The Word that he has spoken already judges us and we will stand before him, bare, while the books are opened and the works of the heart, mind, and temple will be revealed. Anyone need assistance to know where their heart is? Hear what you say. The mouth speaks what is abundant in the heart.

This song, being the longest song ever, strikes right in the face of the myopic perspective that the law was crucified. It upholds the law. More than 90% of it is about the law of God. There is often confusion between the ceremonial law and the commandments. The sheep sacrifices and the ten commandments are different. See Rev12:17 and Rev14:12, Isiah 8:19-20, James 2:10-12

Salvation has always been by "grace through faith". Luther was right when he preached that we are saved by faith alone. It is the theme of the Bible. What James is stressing is that our faith must be manifested by(works of)obedience and he gave the examples of Abraham and Rahab. Many do good works to impress others which is not of faith but the one who has faith must show it by his good works.

Jay: Wherefore He is Able also to Save Them to The Uttermost that come Unto God by Him, Seeing He Ever Liveth to Make Intercession for Them.( Hebrews 7:25). We don't Keep Ourselves Saved. We're Keep by The Blood of The Lamb/ If You Offend in One Point, to Keep The Whole Law, Your Guilty of All ( James 2:10)

"The dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of Yahuwah, and have the testimony of Yahushua, the Anointed." Revelation 12:17.

Don't be too quick to abrogate Yehuwa's Law to the dustbin. We know the result of making void the law of Yahuwah? The experiment has been tried. Terrible were the scenes enacted in France when atheism became the controlling power. It was then demonstrated to the world that to throw off the restraints which Yahuwah has imposed is to accept the rule of the cruellest of tyrants.

Verse 24 We are not justified by faith alone, as falsely taught by Luther. This is the only time the term faith alone occurs in scripture, and herein it says we are NOT justified by faith alone.

God wants us to love one another; not merely in word, but in deed and in truth. In Matthew 25, for example, it says plainly that we shall all be judged at the last day by how we treated one another. Jesus came not to abolish the law or the Prophets, but to completely make full! Us being saved by His grace is the sign to the world of Jesus having finished what the Father sent Him to do.

"For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment. What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?" While few like the meat and many like to pick the bone, about whether being under grace exempts us from the works of the Law. But isn't the Spirit of Grace given for us to DO God's Law?

In vs 39, Jesus likens the child's state of death as, "sleeping", a phrase we will hear him use again. James 2:26 tells us that without the spirit, the body is dead. Jesus says ( John 6:63) "The spirit gives life".

And in Luke 8:55, we find the act of Jesus' raising the girl, causes, "Her spirit to come again".

The spirit, returning to the little girl, brought life back into her body...

GAR (cont.) That's just it, isn't it? "Let your light thus shine before men, THAT THEY MAY SEE YOUR GOOD WORKS AND GLORIFY YOUR FATHER IN HEAVEN." Why did Cain murder his brother? Because his own WORKS were evil, AND HIS BROTHER'S RIGHTEOUS. By what will the Spirit in us convict the world of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment; if not by our love for Jesus SHOWN BY keeping His commandments?

What doth it profit? What does your faith profit to the observer if he cannot see any works? Can faith, not being seen by works, bring the observer to a point where he will be saved? Can faith, that has works to show the faith, communicate to the observer truths which can save him? I want my faith to be seen by my works so that people, observers, can possibly come to the point of being saved.

this is a good bible verse

All the good works you do and attempt to do are because of your faith.

One thing to remember, when you do those good works 100% of glory should also go to God; which again, a work (testimony) you will do, because of your faith. Amazing!

PS. I Need to be better at what I just preached above.

James is written to the twelve tribes which are scattered. James 1:1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting. We are not under a works based salvation in the dispensation of the grace of God given to us by the Apostle Paul. Faith and works is only for Israel and will be what is required for salvation during the 7 year Tribulation period.

By Belief, By Faith...AND By WORKS:

James 2: 19-26
19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?
22 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect

servant; I think what you're trying to say, Faith calls those things that be not, as though they are; and our manner of life, character and behavior, makes manifest what kind we are. Did I get that right? And yes, I agree, some things are known in part and manifest just now; but only when we are brought before God at the last day shall we know perfectly all things about ourselves and everyone.

Faith=the certainty without witness that God exists. Works=that by which we are judged by God. Even so, God is a rewarder to the faithful and works determine our apparel in the afterlife. Do not be fooled by the evil beings in this world for you know that they lie to convince you you are mistaken and not them. God sees them for he is a heart-knower and deals with them accordingly. He knows!

"Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble." "Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:" If anyone thinks that by only "believing" and "parroting" some verses, that God is going to overlook his unholy life and hypocrisy, he's in for a terrible awakening!
