Do have an example? That sounds interesting> I know the #1 reason the Canon (Bibe) was put together was that all "Agree " the writings agree with each other, seeing how they had meany writings to choose from for example Apocrypha. and the King James bible leaves it out. some say they agree and other say no. I believe the King James is fine by its self but I think i enjoyed reading them none the less.
My view is that whether or not John or James understood the revelation of the mystery that was revealed first to Paul is irrelevant.
You cannot get salvation by faith alone in the death burial resurrection of Christ, nor Jews and gentiles being equal in the same body, nor the rapture of the Body of Christ, anywhere in the letters of James, Peter and John.
The Holy Spirit did not want them to write about those, he wanted them to write doctrine for the nation of Israel during Jacob's trouble or the Tribulation.
You can find them in 1 Peter 4
12 Beloved, think it not strange
concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:
13 But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.
14 If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.
15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men's matters.
16 Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.
17
For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?
18 And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?
19 Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.
Vs 18 is very enlightening when I came across it for the first time. According to Peter, there is no such thing as OSAS. Even one who is righteous can scarcely be saved, which is not what Paul would instruct us in the Body of Christ.
Next John
1 John 2:28 And now, little children, abide in him; that,
when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming. 29 If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him
1 John 3:
6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.
7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
John is urging Israel to abide in him in 1 John 2, what does he meant by abide? He explains in 1 John 3, those who sin not are the ones that abide in him.
So if one takes the mark of the beast, that is a clear indication of not abiding in him.
He will only be ashamed when Jesus finally returns at his 2nd coming for Israel. There will be no future salvation for him to expect, as John said in vs8, he is of the devil.
This is in-line with what is stated in Revelations 14:9-12.
Contrast to Romans 3:21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; and 1 John 2 and 3
And finally James 5
1 Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you.
2 Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten.
3 Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.
4 Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth.
5 Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter.
6 Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you.
7
Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.
8 Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts:
for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.
The rich who refuse to pool their money with the common pot, as the rest of the Jews were doing in Acts 4:32, showing that they trust in riches, are especially vulnerable to taking the mark of the beast, which will condemn them, no matter what they believed about
Jesus.
