James Chapter 1 Discussion Page 25

I try to have patience but i'm weak and scared. I need God to help me before it's too late. We are about to lose our house. Please Lord help us!!

I think james was telling us about things that would happen to us everyday,and for us to watch out and be alert and aware.Because sometimes we say or do things that we dont mean or speak to fast,and that causes problems.And like he said be paitient with god,the same way he is with you.Give GOD the most high respect.

I THINK JAMES 1:1;27 IS TELL US IS BE SLOW TO SPEAK BECAUSE YOU PROBILY HEARD SOME BODY SO SOMRTHING AND THATS NOT WHAT THEY REALLY SAID AND THE WHEN YOU SAY SOMRTHING WRONG THEY PROBILY HAVE (BEEF) OR MESS WITH YOU AND YOU JUST THOUGHT THEY SAID IS WANT YOU SAID; SO LET THEM SAY ALL WANT THEY HAD TO SAY THEN SPEAK. AND THEN DONT BE ALL COVERD UP WITH YOUR LUST BECAUSE ONE MINUTE YOU ALL SAVED FILLED WITH THE HOLY GHOST THEN YOUR NOT, BEACUSE YOU LET YOUR BEINGS COVERD EVERYTHING YOU HAD BETWEEN JESUS AND YOU AND YOU FOREGOT. SO THATS JUST MY SAYING ABOUT THIS SCRIPTURE GOD BLESS.

James, chapter 1, also teaches, that if anyone lacks wisdom, seek GOD for it, and it also a reminder, that once we seek our own desires, we are setting ourselves up for temptation, to be trapped by sin, and led to death. Whenever you allow patience to have her perfect work in your life, the word of GOD will get you through all situations in life.

James teaches me, that no matter how bad a situation you are going thru in life, you must continue to be happy or count it joy because God is still with us. God wants us to truly trust Him in all our trials. He is the only one who can work things out for our good. Jesus on one occassion, told us to give all our burdens to HIm. Too many times we are short patient with God and do things our way. We then get deeper into trouble. Just like we want God to be patient with us, WE MUST BE PATIENT WITH GOD!!

It is very inspiring and enlightens ones hopes to achieve the eternal life we are longing for.

james Chapter 1 tell us that when we are temp it is not God but our owen lust

powerfull and true.

I teaches us how to bridle out tongue and no one can tame it but GODlike the. I like the book of James.

i love reading the book of james ,it tells me something new each time .it reminds me to ask god for wisdom ,and to remember not to just hear but to do ,jesus is so wounderful ,he for gives us ,an never stops loving us

Weathering a storm right now. But I thank GOD for hiw word and for his promise to me. I am counting it all joy. Blessed be his name!!!

I can remember when the good 'LORD' delivered me from so many things,but most important,I remember "HE' delivered me from me. What a blessing!I desired to be a good person,but I had no wisdom. At that time I didn't know how to use a computer, so I opened my BIBLE, and it opened to James,and I found the missing link in verse five. I began to seek the 'LORD' for wisdom, patience, and meekness. This brought me to a place called Faithfulness, and the wisdom of 'GOD' has humbled me.I found out that I was a good person all the time with bad habits, and made poor decisions save the "LORD" is YET critiquing me. It is very refreshing to read James chapter one. Be blessed in the 'LORD",and in the power of 'HIS' might.

James really speaks to me because it makes me aware of times i have strived to look like the perfect christian rather than making sure i am walking and living the perfect christian life. Not meaning i never sin but that i stay humble and recognize it and repent whole heartedly. I want to live a doers life not a hearers! im so glad that the Lord uses the Word to gently disipline me so i can stay on the straight and narrow!

It is not what I think Of James 1 It's what Thy Father will be done!

i think it is true wisdom spat out of the God who just wants us to be saved and endure in his ways...which is not much to ask of us considering all the love he has and still is giving us

I Like the book of James .... Yes, I am a Christian.

The book of James is very true to Gods Word.

i thank God in his promise that if anyone lack wisdom and he/she just ask God to pour out his wisdom without doubt,it shall be given more than we ask.. Glory to God in the highest!

God is good.

jesus came in this world to save us to clean our sins, so dont bring yourself into the sinful nature, be arightous person in the sight of the lord and then your prayers will be answered and you are not going to drift but will be anchored through the help of the lord do not doubt but depend on the lord GOD BLESS EVERY BODY

Amen!

U know the word is so good everyday

read james1:27
THIS IS WHAT TRUE CHRISTIANS SHOULD BE DOING

To go to heaven/eternal life is very very difficult. God's wants us to be 100 % . This is His fair/just justice to all the believers who knows Him. ref. verses Eph. 5:27, Rev. 21:8 & Mat. 5:8. To enter this place one must be holy, be perfect, without spot of wickedness. Upon knowing His doctrines/requisites to enter into heaven you must practice/work and if you stumble down, rise up to continue, no retreat/surrender the faith that you have. For example in doing so, someone practices for holiness and then before he died he earned only 80%, but his goal is 100%. Only God knows if this one can enter into heaven or not. Not like to someone who has no goal/target to enter into heaven, because of unbelief. He think for him that there is no punishment, no heaven nor hell, so this kind of individual has no limit in doing bad works. There are verses that salvation of our Soul is individual/own salvation through His words. Supporting verses: Bh. 2:40, Philip. 2:12, 1Tim. 4:16 & James 1:21-22. The word soul is only a part of the human body ref. verse 1 Thessa. 5:23.

derek,
I was reminded by the Lord's Holy WORD as follows!

DOERS OF THE SCRIPTURE ARE NEEDED BIGTIME!

Come on now. You really need to read this carefully. SCRIPTURE IS PLAIN. SCRIPTURE IS THE ONLY WAY WE KNOW JESUS! MANY only go to church on sun-day because the catholics made them. They changed the calendar and PASSED IT DOWN AS MAN'S TRADITION. They DID NOT ADHERE TO SCRIPTURE, AND THEREBY FORGOT TO REMEMBER TO KEEP THE SABBATH DAY HOLY. THIS is not being said lightly. TRADITIONS CONTRADICT SCRIPTURE. WHEN THEY DO THEY MUST BE PUT DOWN IN FAVOR OF HOLY SCRIPTURE. IF not we don't have any faith in what the scripture says because FAITH COMETH BY HEARING AND HEARING BY THE WORD OF GOD! Those that changed sabbath to sunday have abandoned the faith that cometh by hearing that comes by the word of God. Go ahead study to show thyself approved and don't trust any man. Let EVERY MAN be A LIAR BUT LET GOD BE TRUE! HE IS TRUE IN HIS WORD!

Exodus 31:13 Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am the LORD that doth sanctify you.

Exodus 31:16 Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant.


Psalm 119:6 Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all thy commandments.

John 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.

John 15:14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.

1 John 5:3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.

Now, some may quote 2 Corinthians 3:6 "Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life."

But what is also TRUE THROUGH AND THROUGH IS THIS SCRIPTURE FROM JESUS HIMSELF THE FULFILLMENT OF THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS: " John 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life."

What "letter" of the law is being spoken of here? Is it the letter of the law that is indicated in the following scripture? 2 Peter 1:20-21 "Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost." Is it the "letter" of the law that is being spoken of in this scripture? 2 Timothy 3:15-17 "And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works."

ALL SCRIPTURE includes old an new testament. Circumcision of the male organ is the judaizing factor which is ABSOLUTELY NOT NECESSARY unless it involves the "CIRCUMCISION OF THE HEART FROM AN EVIL HEART OF UNBELIEF."

Jesus said to keep His commandments! One of them is to remember to keep the sabbath day holy as a sign of Him as we await and prepare for His coming. the catholic church changed the calendar to sunday, the first day of the week and the catholics will boast and brag quite boldly that they did because of their IMMENSE POWER. So much is their boldness that they berate protestants who SAY they believe the bible first and foremost for their not keeping the SCRIPTURAL SABBATH. Catholics despise what they call sola scriptura and if they see waffling or weakness or inadherence to the scriptures by those that SAY they adhere to scripture first and foremost, they take every opportunity to impugn their RESOLVE, because they SAY and DO NOT DO!

JESUS IS THE FULFILLMENT OF THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS. The New Testament is NO REPLACWEMENT OF THE OLD. IT IS THE FULFILLMENT! Need proof! Here are some EXPLICIT references AS WRITTEN IN THE King James Bible, TRUE THROUGH AND THROUGH IN EVERY WORD!

Put away yuor tradition and take up the tradition of GOD ACCORDING TO HIS WORD. HIS WORD IS PLAINLY TRUE. IF you can read it, you can rely on it, even if you do not fully understand it. Ask and YE shall receive will take care of that part. Any lesser standard of belief in HIS HOLY WORD, is accepting the traditions of men and those are the "LETTERS" that "KILL" and those are what JESUS DECRIED AND BERATED THE PHARISEES ABOUT.

If you still insist the Sabbath, the token of JESUS CHRIST AND MESSIAH is not important or "JEWISH", since when have you as a believer in JESUS been CUT OUT OF THE OLIVE TREE'S ROOT AND FATNESS. You as a believer in JESUS ARE GRAFTED IN TO THE ROOT AND FATNESS THAT IS JESUS OUR KING. The Jews wre broken off for unbelief, and do you think you with unbelief will fare any better? Look it up. If it says "unto all your generations" or "perpetually" or "everlasting" etc. do we disregard that these words have EXTREMELY important meanings to ALL BELIEVERS? If you will keep the tradition of separation and GOD FORBID hatred of JEWS, YOU HAVE IGNORED the STORY OF RUTH AND THE WORDS OF THIS GENTILE MOABITESS HAVE BEEN FORGOTTEN. LET THEM NEVER FALL FROM YOUR LIPS. "YOUR GOD SHALL BE MY GOD AND YOUR PEOPLE SHALL BE MY PEOPLE!"

STOP WITH THE TRADITION ALREADY! DO IT ACCORDING TO THE PLAIN WORD OF GOD, HIS WORDS ARE SPIRIT AND THEY ARE LIFE!!!!

hi ernest, Remember Jesus has become our rest. sabbath is rest/intermission in the greek/hebrew. all that matters is who we go to for our rest ( matt 11:28, Heb 4:2-11, 1 cor 5:6-8)

yashua be praised.Beloved, it behooves us to really understand what james is saying in verse 22 of chptr.1,we are quick to quote this passage, but do we understand the meaning? do we really honor the sabbath? is this not hearing and doing? hint sabboth is NOT SUNDAY but friday sundown to saturday sun down, GENESIS 2:2-3 the truth

God offered his only begotten Son, Our Lord, Jesus Christ who is the only person to walk this earth free from sin-and through Jesus Christ it is possible to draw on his strength to avoid sin in our lives-- but we can ha
rdly escape it!

I'm glad God has made it possible through Jesus Christ to live spotless in this world and free from sin.

It is so easy to fall into being a hearer only. Especially when you don't know God's will for your life. The most important thing is to stay in the Word. Feed on it night and day and give God the glory for all things. Good as well as bad.

we must be doers and not just hearers only. and in being a doer we will be tempted in all ways and to and must fight a good fight,fast to hear and slow to speak. So in striving to achieve pure religion and not to be spoted of the world. stained by our sins.
