What's so hard to understand about James telling us that if we keep the whole Ten Commandments but break one, we're guilty of all: that if we don't commit adultery, but kill, we become guilty of breaking the entire Ten? Then, he says we are to speak and act as people who know we have to stand in judgment for what we do.
This is not rocket science or even the new the science which teaches how a man can get pregnant. This is elementary stuff...and the day is coming when those who refused to let go of their sinful habits in preparation of that judgment will be as those who banged on the door of the Ark with all their might and voice to be let in, but were horrifically drowned with the rest of that rebellious generation.
um no it’s not rocket science
James subject is showing favoritism to rich well dressed church members over poor members dressed in rags it’s not specific to the Ten Commandments it’s about any and all sin according to the law
“My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory,
with respect of persons.
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; 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: Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts?
If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well: But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors.
For
whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.”
James 2:1-4, 8-10
that’s the problem he’s stating and James is telling us true solution because we’re all sinners by the law like he’s explaining we have to live by Jesus law of liberty the law of mercy for the merciful is how we should live and act is James point because of we don’t we aren’t going to receive it when we face the lord for our works good and bad we should have a merciful heart or we shouldn’t expect mercy
“
So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty. For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.”
James 2:12-13 KJV
Brother you are looking to be judged by Moses still so you are headed for this judgement
“Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father:
there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust.
For had ye
believed Moses, ye would have
believed me: for
he wrote of me. But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye
believe my words?”
John 5:45-47 KJV
what Jesus is saying is that Moses foretold of Jesus coming with Gods true word of requirement
not Moses but Moses wrote that another who would be like Moses was to come with the word of Gods requirement
“According to
all that thou desiredst of the Lord thy God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying,
Let me not hear again the voice of the Lord my God, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I die not.
And the Lord said unto me,
They have well spoken that which they have spoken.
I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.
And
it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.”
Deuteronomy 18:16-19
That’s a prophecy that they didn’t believe that Moses wrote so they then didn’t believe Jesus words who is who Moses was speaking about here is the apostle Peter explaining this
“For
Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you. And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people.
Yea, and
all the prophets from Samuel and those that follow after, as many as have spoken, have likewise foretold of these days.
Ye are the children of the prophets, and of
the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed.
Unto you first God, having
raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from his iniquities.”
Acts 3:22-26
Gods word of truth and everlasting dominion and authority is everything Jesus taught. Moses himself with news of this in his written law above is one example that is actually proven by a chief apostle after he received the Holy Ghost the one Jesus said he would build his church upon identified Moses as prophecy of of Christ and his words
his words are going to judge us not Moses words
“He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day. For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.”
John 12:48-50
what Moses said would come is why Jesus was always saying he was the one God sent to teach the truth
it really isn’t rocket science it’s about believing the New Testament and not trying to lug the old with us
