James 2


Comments
James 2:8 "If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:" The Greek word basilikos^[1]translated "royal" here is an adjective formed from the Greek word basileus often translated king meaning any ruler. The word basilikos is also translated nobleman in John^[2] likely used describing a person as "befitting or worthy of a king.". When basilikos is used to modify words like apparel it may denote the robes of royalty common among kings or befitting kings.^[3] James uses the term to modify the generic term for law so he is probably just using the adjective as a metaphor to denote that that the principal or chief law is to " love thy neighbour as thyself". James is clearly in conformity with Christ in his statement as we see time and time again.^[4]
There were no kings in Israel under Moses because everyman was king in his own home. Jesus was to return everyman to his family and to his possessions when he set the captive free from the bondage of the Baptism of Herod and the Corban of the Pharisees.
To do anything other than to love our neighbor as ourselves is not keeping the law of God and a violation of the royal law. This would include biting one another, covetous practices^[5] which is idolatry,^[6] or not providing a daily ministration of Pure Religion through faith, hope, and charity which is the works^[7] James speaks of in the first chapter.

[11] "For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill" also said that thou shalt not covet.^[5] All socialism is immersed in covetous practices.

Questions
How do you know you have faith or that your faith is alive and well?
If it is by what you doeth and not what you say or even say you think or believe according to the Doctrine if Jesus then why does the modern Church teach all you have to confess with your lips?
Have modern Christians misinterpreted Paul's statement by not reading in the full context?^[8]
If we are to turn away from those who will not inherit then they must not be believers nor saved.^[9]

James 2

Warning against Partiality

[1] My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons.

[2] For if there come unto your assembly a man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment;

[3] And ye have respect to him that weareth the gay clothing, and say unto him, Sit thou here in a good place; and say to the poor, Stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool:

[4] Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts?

[5] Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him?

[6] But ye have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment seats?

[7] Do not they blaspheme that worthy name by the which ye are called?

royal law

[8] If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself^[10]^[11], ye do well:

[9] But if ye have respect to persons^[12]^[13], ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors. [10] For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.

[11] For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law.

[12] So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.

[13] For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.

Faith and Works

[14] What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works^[7]? can faith save him?

[15] If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of aily food^[14],

[16] And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?

[17] Even so faith, if it hath not works^[7], is dead^[15], being alone.

[18] Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.^[7]

[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^[7]^[16] 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?

[23] And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.

[24] Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.

[25] Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way?

[26] For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works^[7] is dead also.

- For it is written that the tables of dainties provided by rulers of the world are a snare because they cause the masses to bite one another through government systems of legal charity which are covetous practices which are a form of fornication or adultery where the people are devoured as merchandise, curse children and are "entangled again in the yoke of bondage" with the aid of the false religion of the whore who rides the beast.

Deuteronomy 15:7 If there be among you a poor man of one of thy brethren within any of thy gates in thy land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not harden thine heart, nor shut thine hand from thy poor brother: 15:8 But thou shalt open thine hand wide unto him, and shalt surely lend him sufficient for his need, [in that] which he wanteth. 9 Beware that there be not a thought in thy wicked heart, saying, The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand; and thine eye be evil against thy poor brother, and thou givest him nought; and he cry unto the LORD against thee, and it be sin unto thee. 10 Thou shalt surely give him, and thine heart shall not be grieved when thou givest unto him: because that for this thing the LORD thy God shall bless thee in all thy works, and in all that thou puttest thine hand unto. 11 For the poor shall never cease out of the land: therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt open thine hand wide unto thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy, in thy land.
