To me it is like playing "Chess", carefully weighing and watching your opponent (They are not going to let you win). Not playing "War"! Or like, being the kid that did not study and cheated off another students paper...only to find out the other person did not study either, and they both got "F's"....Psalms 118:8 It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man.

Do you know what the "perfect law of liberty" is that James is speaking on ???
It is not the 613 written ordinances of the Mosaic laws he is speaking on there, but instead he is speaking the two greatest commandments the Lord said we are to follow in Matthew 22:37-40.
Lord Jesus and Apostle Paul both show by those two commands upholds and thus fulfills the law and prophets, because love would do no wrong to self and others. Therefore there is no transgressing in walking in love !!!
We are to focus on walking in love and not written ordinances, and all else will fall in place !!!

That is a lie taught in churches now days, as the Lord Jesus clearly told us.............
Matthew 7:16
Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
It amazes me some fall to that teaching that we can not tell when Jesus clearly told us we would by their actions/fruits !!!

Yes which is why we are to use the Holy Spirit's guidance and the Word of God both to test what is being taught behind the pulpits. To many walk into their churches sit down listen to the pastor preach and accept what he says as truth without testing them.
Just because a person stands in front of a congregation and preaches does not mean they are giving the truth, or actually even qualified to be doing that job.
Look at all the churches now days accepting gay marriage in them, should we accept their teachings as truth just because they are a church??? How about Westboro Baptist who teaches a hate doctrine, should we accept their church teachings as truth ???
I don't think so !!!

Not sure what churches you are referring to...
2 Timothy 2:19 KJV
[19] Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
1 Corinthians 4:3-5 KJV
[3] But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man's judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self. [4] For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord. [5] Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God.

Even Moses I believe walked in liberty, and this is how I received it on liberty with love. [h=1]Exodus 2:11-12King James Version (KJV)[/h]11 And it came to pass in those days, when Moses was grown, that he went out unto his brethren, and looked on their burdens: and he spied an Egyptian smiting an Hebrew, one of his brethren.
12 And he looked this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no man, he slew the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand.

Do we have to get into a discussion of showing the difference between judging and rebuking/reproving ???
Do you really think a church like Westboro Baptist church that teaches their congregation a hate doctrine is saved???
I can tell you by His Word no as His grace, mercy, and forgiveness has no place for hatred in His teachings, for He even tells us to love and do good to our enemies !!!
The perfect law of liberty is the two greatest commandments given by the Lord to uphold, and by doing so all else will fall in place !!!

We are to show the same love, mercy, and forgiveness to others as He has shown to us.
If we are not doing that then we are not walking in the faith, as Apostle John says if you say you love God but hate your brother no eternal life abides in you. (1 John 4:20)
Apostle Paul also says if we continue to walk in iniquity, we have not learned Christ !!!
(Ephesians 4:20)

Do they all not follow that bad doctrine and stand out on the street corners holding those hate signs ???
Also if a person's heart is true to the ways of God I would believe they would get out of that church and seek out another, as I did with the Catholic church. There is no need to stay under the guidance of false teaching like that !!!

Sigh, I'm simply saying that Churches are subject to criticism because they are made up of sinners saved by grace.
Look at the Corinthian Church...a mess, and yet Paul even though he handed them some constructive criticism worked with them like a mother to a child. But this continual degrading of the churches with no suggestions for improvement is getting old. I suggested to Yet to start a Church, maybe he can help that way.
You jump in with the usual destracting arguments. .no thanks.
