Who is the book of James addressed to? Yes, the Twelve Tribes; or his fellow Jewish Christians scattered thru-out the world in the first century. He is concerned with preserving a connection between his Jewish heritage and the movement begun by Jesus.

Whenever Scripture uses the term "twelve tribes", it is always a reference to the whole nation of Israel and never a called out group. Twelve tribes would include all non-believers as well. The book of James addresses the nation of Israel during a time of great tribulation.

All Scripture is written for us to study and know God more, but not all Scripture is written to us as exact doctrine to obey.

Well you really don't want to say that since HIS WORD is a double edged sword and a judger of the thoughts and hearts of men and here you are telling me that we don't have to follow HIS WORD?

I don't think I agree

Do you follow all of His word? His word commanded Jonah to go preach to Nineveh, "yet forty days and Nineveh shall be overthrown." Have you done that? His word instructed Noah to build an ark. Have you literally built an ark of gopher wood? Of course not. Those Scriptures are for us to read and comprehend who God is and to show us types and shadows of things to come. Rightly dividing the word of truth is making sure we divide the doctrines correctly in Scripture so we don't get messed up doctrinally following the wrong directions.

Do you know how to combine the written word with THE SPIRIT of HIS WORD?
If you are born of HIS SPIRIT, you would know and understand

and by the way, yes I am doing what Noah and Jonah did

And so should you

for there is only ONE who is building THE HOUSE for GOD and there is only SALVATION to those who enter in by way of THAT DOOR

And the men of ninevah will stand in the judgement and will testify to THIS TRUTH also

You'll have to remind me

WHO magnified THE LAW and made it honorable

and if you think that it is by works that we are saved, or that you somehow think I am preaching anything other than THE MESSAGE of THE CROSS, you are incorrect about that also
