Class 2 from Bro. Jim Styles\u2019 series on \u201cBe Ye Doers of the Word\u201d<\/p>\n
Class 5 from this series was used for GCT Episode 087.<\/p>\n
2
\n00:00:03,700 –> 00:00:05,800
\nbut hopefully, this will be the
\nketchup class. <\/p>\n
3
\n00:00:06,500 –> 00:00:08,300
\nThe background information from
\nchapter 1. <\/p>\n
4
\n00:00:08,300 –> 00:00:10,000
\nHope you don’t mind.
\nI went back into some of that, a<\/p>\n
5
\n00:00:10,008 –> 00:00:11,300
\nbit.
\nI didn’t spend a lot of time in <\/p>\n
6
\n00:00:11,308 –> 00:00:13,700
\nthe background, but I really do
\nthink it helps to have a bit of <\/p>\n
7
\n00:00:13,700 –> 00:00:16,800
\nthat background in our minds.
\nAs to, why James wrote the <\/p>\n
8
\n00:00:16,800 –> 00:00:20,200
\nletter, what was happening in
\nthe Ecclesia at that time, just <\/p>\n
9
\n00:00:20,200 –> 00:00:22,900
\nin case we did miss it, I do
\nwant to make sure we got <\/p>\n
10
\n00:00:22,900 –> 00:00:25,500
\nstraight what?
\nThis is all built on the whole <\/p>\n
11
\n00:00:25,500 –> 00:00:28,500
\npremise of this letter really
\ncomes in the first eight verses <\/p>\n
12
\n00:00:28,500 –> 00:00:31,900
\nof the book so you want to go At
\nsome point in box, those in or <\/p>\n
13
\n00:00:31,900 –> 00:00:34,700
\nwhatever, at least make a note
\nthere, that really, this whole <\/p>\n
14
\n00:00:34,700 –> 00:00:39,600
\nissue is a is built on the
\nconcept of believing that God is<\/p>\n
15
\n00:00:39,600 –> 00:00:42,700
\nin our trials.
\nAnd these trials are being used <\/p>\n
16
\n00:00:42,700 –> 00:00:46,700
\nby God in order to develop
\npatience and kindness and <\/p>\n
17
\n00:00:46,700 –> 00:00:49,200
\nperseverance in us so that we
\nmight learn the character of <\/p>\n
18
\n00:00:49,200 –> 00:00:52,200
\nGod.
\nAnd if we don’t follow that, if <\/p>\n
19
\n00:00:52,200 –> 00:00:54,000
\nwe don’t believe that’s the
\ncase. <\/p>\n
20
\n00:00:54,000 –> 00:00:56,900
\nAnd Trust the things that God’s
\nbring in our life, then in <\/p>\n
21
\n00:00:56,900 –> 00:00:59,700
\nJames’s perspective, or like
\nsomebody who’s out there and <\/p>\n
22
\n00:00:59,700 –> 00:01:01,700
\nwere driven.
\nAnd by the waves of the sea and <\/p>\n
23
\n00:01:01,700 –> 00:01:04,200
\nwe go up one day and down
\nanother, where his floating with<\/p>\n
24
\n00:01:04,200 –> 00:01:08,300
\nthe waves and we’re not
\nconsistently realizing that God <\/p>\n
25
\n00:01:08,300 –> 00:01:11,300
\nis working in our life.
\nAnd he calls that the double <\/p>\n
26
\n00:01:11,300 –> 00:01:14,100
\nminded man.
\nGot two minds and how we look at<\/p>\n
27
\n00:01:14,100 –> 00:01:16,800
\nlife, and we’re constantly
\nfighting back and forth our own <\/p>\n
28
\n00:01:16,800 –> 00:01:19,100
\nhead as, to whether gods in it
\nor isn’t in it. <\/p>\n
29
\n00:01:19,400 –> 00:01:23,000
\nAnd what that leads to then is a
\nlot of occlusal trouble, family <\/p>\n
30
\n00:01:23,000 –> 00:01:26,600
\nproblems, and strife and us
\ndoing things our way. <\/p>\n
31
\n00:01:26,600 –> 00:01:29,400
\nAnd then the rest of this letter
\nis going to look at all those <\/p>\n
32
\n00:01:29,400 –> 00:01:32,200
\ndifferent issues.
\nSo what that’s actually, I think<\/p>\n
33
\n00:01:32,200 –> 00:01:35,900
\nwhat James is headed at, if any
\nof you are interested in ever <\/p>\n
34
\n00:01:36,300 –> 00:01:38,900
\nlistening to him again, probably
\nonce through the north, but if <\/p>\n
35
\n00:01:38,900 –> 00:01:40,600
\nyou are, if you want to listen
\nto him again or, you know, <\/p>\n
36
\n00:01:40,600 –> 00:01:44,300
\nsomebody else, it wants to, I’ll
\ntry to put the classes either <\/p>\n
37
\n00:01:44,400 –> 00:01:47,200
\ntomorrow or when I get home
\ntomorrow, probably in a power <\/p>\n
38
\n00:01:47,200 –> 00:01:50,600
\npoints out on that website.
\nMy son Andrew who I have to <\/p>\n
39
\n00:01:50,600 –> 00:01:52,800
\nthank and of course he’s my tech
\nman. <\/p>\n
40
\n00:01:52,800 –> 00:01:55,200
\nWho I’m not, I don’t have today,
\nor he’d be doing all this. <\/p>\n
41
\n00:01:55,800 –> 00:01:58,100
\nHe’s the one that said, all this
\nstuff up and it’s great. <\/p>\n
42
\n00:01:58,100 –> 00:02:00,000
\nHe’s got a wonderful website set
\nup. <\/p>\n
43
\n00:02:00,100 –> 00:02:03,500
\nFor our kaliesha and he took all
\nthe cassette tapes I used to <\/p>\n
44
\n00:02:03,500 –> 00:02:06,800
\nhave at home and he’s pilot,
\nhe’s put them all in MP3, format<\/p>\n
45
\n00:02:06,800 –> 00:02:11,800
\nout on that website that lets
\nwww.atlona.com l in there <\/p>\n
46
\n00:02:11,800 –> 00:02:16,100
\nLivonia tapes.com.
\nAnd he’s literally got probably,<\/p>\n
47
\n00:02:16,100 –> 00:02:17,900
\nI don’t know.
\nIt’s 1,300 classes out there <\/p>\n
48
\n00:02:17,900 –> 00:02:20,200
\nright now.
\nIn MP3 format, you can just <\/p>\n
49
\n00:02:20,200 –> 00:02:22,700
\ndownload them, put them on your
\nmp3 player and listen to them. <\/p>\n
50
\n00:02:23,200 –> 00:02:25,400
\nSo, if you happen to be like a,
\nso he likes to listen to <\/p>\n
51
\n00:02:25,408 –> 00:02:27,600
\nclasses.
\nLike me, you’ll like that <\/p>\n
52
\n00:02:27,600 –> 00:02:29,300
\nwebsite.
\nIt’s got a lot of good stuff <\/p>\n
53
\n00:02:29,300 –> 00:02:30,900
\nthere.
\nBack, if you don’t like my <\/p>\n
54
\n00:02:30,900 –> 00:02:33,700
\nclasses on James, we’ve got that
\nJohn almonds classes around <\/p>\n
55
\n00:02:33,700 –> 00:02:35,700
\neverything John Knowles.
\nWe got John Martin. <\/p>\n
56
\n00:02:35,900 –> 00:02:37,200
\nThere’s a bunch of different
\npeople. <\/p>\n
57
\n00:02:37,400 –> 00:02:39,300
\nSo if you don’t like what I have
\nto say, you can listen to <\/p>\n
58
\n00:02:39,300 –> 00:02:41,500
\nthere’s instead, that might even
\nbe better. <\/p>\n
59
\n00:02:42,800 –> 00:02:47,700
\nAnyways, that’s Livonia tips.com
\nto finish up the chipper one, <\/p>\n
60
\n00:02:47,700 –> 00:02:49,900
\njust so you can see where we’re
\nat at the end of chapter 1 <\/p>\n
61
\n00:02:49,900 –> 00:02:53,200
\nbecause it is a lead-in and to
\nchapter 2 and really, what James<\/p>\n
62
\n00:02:53,200 –> 00:02:55,500
\ndoes at the end of chapter one?
\nIs he stood a whet? <\/p>\n
63
\n00:02:55,500 –> 00:02:57,500
\nYour appetite for all the rest
\nof the letter? <\/p>\n
64
\n00:02:57,700 –> 00:02:59,900
\nHe just give you little bits and
\npieces of them. <\/p>\n
65
\n00:03:00,100 –> 00:03:03,600
\nLike this issue about the father
\nbeing every perfect gift coming <\/p>\n
66
\n00:03:03,600 –> 00:03:07,200
\ndown from the father and verse
\n17 and said, he’s a, he’s a, the<\/p>\n
67
\n00:03:07,200 –> 00:03:09,800
\nFather of Lights with whom there
\nis no variableness, neither, <\/p>\n
68
\n00:03:09,800 –> 00:03:13,800
\nshadow of turning that concept
\nabout out in nature that this is<\/p>\n
69
\n00:03:13,800 –> 00:03:16,800
\nthe way the planets are set up
\nand this is the way God runs. <\/p>\n
70
\n00:03:17,000 –> 00:03:20,100
\nHe’s going to use that as the
\nbasis for chapter 2 that we <\/p>\n
71
\n00:03:20,100 –> 00:03:23,800
\ncan’t show partiality.
\nThat’s that’s how he brings up <\/p>\n
72
\n00:03:23,800 –> 00:03:26,200
\nthe issue he touches on it and
\nchapter 1 and deals with it <\/p>\n
73
\n00:03:26,200 –> 00:03:30,500
\nagain in Chapter 2, if the end
\nof chapter one year, Seeing this<\/p>\n
74
\n00:03:30,500 –> 00:03:34,500
\nlittle section here from verses
\n19 to 27, that he goes into The <\/p>\n
75
\n00:03:34,500 –> 00:03:39,000
\nGodly characteristics that we
\nneed to have in order for us to <\/p>\n
76
\n00:03:39,000 –> 00:03:42,100
\napproach our trials, the right
\nway, if we don’t have these <\/p>\n
77
\n00:03:42,100 –> 00:03:44,900
\nGodly characteristics and what
\nGod’s trying to do is develop <\/p>\n
78
\n00:03:44,900 –> 00:03:47,700
\nthem and us and that’s what he’s
\nusing these trials for. <\/p>\n
79
\n00:03:48,000 –> 00:03:52,100
\nSo if we’re single minded, then
\nif we have this concept straight<\/p>\n
80
\n00:03:52,100 –> 00:03:55,700
\nin our head, that God is in our
\ntroubles and he’s trying to help<\/p>\n
81
\n00:03:55,700 –> 00:03:58,400
\nus through them so that we can
\nlearn to live forever and have <\/p>\n
82
\n00:03:58,400 –> 00:04:01,100
\nimmortality, and he can
\nintroduce Just us with that. <\/p>\n
83
\n00:04:01,300 –> 00:04:03,400
\nThen we approach these trials
\nthe right way. <\/p>\n
84
\n00:04:03,400 –> 00:04:06,400
\nWe respond the right way
\nourselves with our God. <\/p>\n
85
\n00:04:06,500 –> 00:04:09,600
\nAnd we also treat each other the
\nright way. <\/p>\n
86
\n00:04:09,800 –> 00:04:11,700
\nAnd this was one of the big
\nproblems. <\/p>\n
87
\n00:04:11,700 –> 00:04:14,900
\nJames was having people that
\nhave conflict in life. <\/p>\n
88
\n00:04:14,900 –> 00:04:17,800
\nIt’s a lot of the times it’s
\nbecause we’re not settled with <\/p>\n
89
\n00:04:17,800 –> 00:04:19,899
\nour God.
\nWe don’t realize what our God’s <\/p>\n
90
\n00:04:19,899 –> 00:04:22,600
\ndoing and we get frustrated, we
\nget so frustrated. <\/p>\n
91
\n00:04:22,600 –> 00:04:25,100
\nWe take it out on somebody else.
\nSo we say things we should have <\/p>\n
92
\n00:04:25,100 –> 00:04:28,500
\nnever said he’s going to deal
\nwith the tongue and chapter 3 <\/p>\n
93
\n00:04:28,700 –> 00:04:31,300
\nwhen we get to that about.
\nWe got to learn to control that <\/p>\n
94
\n00:04:31,300 –> 00:04:32,900
\ntongue.
\nWe can’t just lash out at each <\/p>\n
95
\n00:04:32,900 –> 00:04:37,200
\nother and single-minded people
\nwon’t do that because they’ll <\/p>\n
96
\n00:04:37,200 –> 00:04:41,300
\nunderstand that God is in it.
\nSo it’s just it’s a it’s almost <\/p>\n
97
\n00:04:41,300 –> 00:04:43,700
\nlike a philosophy of life that
\nwe have to have. <\/p>\n
98
\n00:04:43,700 –> 00:04:46,300
\nIt’s what God’s doing with all
\nof his family members. <\/p>\n
99
\n00:04:46,300 –> 00:04:50,300
\nIt’s part of the family of God
\nis that we trust and believe <\/p>\n
100
\n00:04:50,300 –> 00:04:53,800
\nthat he’s in all these things
\nand he’s doing it for our good, <\/p>\n
101
\n00:04:53,800 –> 00:04:55,600
\nthat we might share his
\nHoliness. <\/p>\n
102
\n00:04:56,100 –> 00:04:59,200
\nSo he goes in and verses 19
\nthrough the end of the chapter. <\/p>\n
103
\n00:04:59,200 –> 00:05:00,900
\nThen it looks at some of these
\nthings and we’ll just look <\/p>\n
104
\n00:05:00,900 –> 00:05:02,700
\nthrough a few of them real
\nquickly and then go into chapter<\/p>\n
105
\n00:05:02,700 –> 00:05:05,000
\n2.
\nSo, the lesson for us in verse <\/p>\n
106
\n00:05:05,000 –> 00:05:08,500
\n19 was you see, therefore, he
\nsays my brethren because this is<\/p>\n
107
\n00:05:08,500 –> 00:05:11,800
\nthe kind of God, that we have at
\nthe end of verse 18 there that <\/p>\n
108
\n00:05:11,800 –> 00:05:13,900
\nof his own will.
\nHe’s brought us forth by the <\/p>\n
109
\n00:05:13,900 –> 00:05:15,800
\nword of truth, that we would be
\na kind of firstfruits. <\/p>\n
110
\n00:05:15,800 –> 00:05:18,900
\nHe’s like, he’s like planted us
\nand he’s got, we’re growing up <\/p>\n
111
\n00:05:18,900 –> 00:05:20,800
\nfor him, hoping that we’re going
\nto grow. <\/p>\n
112
\n00:05:20,800 –> 00:05:23,000
\nWe’re going to produce.
\nSo we’re going to produce fruit <\/p>\n
113
\n00:05:23,000 –> 00:05:25,100
\nand it will be firstfruits of
\nhis creatures. <\/p>\n
114
\n00:05:25,100 –> 00:05:29,300
\nThis is the new creation that
\nJames is looking at not that the<\/p>\n
115
\n00:05:29,300 –> 00:05:32,000
\ncreation that we are.
\nBy birth, see the creation that <\/p>\n
116
\n00:05:32,000 –> 00:05:34,200
\nwe are by birth and the natural
\nman. <\/p>\n
117
\n00:05:34,200 –> 00:05:38,400
\nWhat we do is we see with our
\neyes and we desire it and then <\/p>\n
118
\n00:05:38,400 –> 00:05:41,500
\nit’s in conceives in our heart
\nand we go after it, you see. <\/p>\n
119
\n00:05:41,600 –> 00:05:45,100
\nAnd then it goes through this
\nprocess of leading to death. <\/p>\n
120
\n00:05:45,200 –> 00:05:48,800
\nThat’s the natural man.
\nBut what God’s trying to do is <\/p>\n
121
\n00:05:48,800 –> 00:05:51,500
\ndevelop something different in
\nhis creatures in his family <\/p>\n
122
\n00:05:51,500 –> 00:05:54,900
\nmembers so that instead of
\nresponding, like that will <\/p>\n
123
\n00:05:54,900 –> 00:05:57,800
\nreceive this implanted word that
\nhe’s going to put in us and he’s<\/p>\n
124
\n00:05:57,800 –> 00:05:59,900
\ngoing to grow something that
\nwill produce fruit. <\/p>\n
125
\n00:06:00,100 –> 00:06:02,900
\nTo him that for which he can
\ngrant immortality forever. <\/p>\n
126
\n00:06:03,400 –> 00:06:07,200
\nSo, verse 19, he says, look,
\nwhat we need to do is we got to <\/p>\n
127
\n00:06:07,200 –> 00:06:11,200
\nbe swift to hear.
\nSo be quick to listen and slow <\/p>\n
128
\n00:06:11,200 –> 00:06:15,400
\nto speak and slow to wrath slow
\nto wrath. <\/p>\n
129
\n00:06:15,400 –> 00:06:18,900
\nBecause all of this other stuff,
\nthe wrath of man in verse 20 <\/p>\n
130
\n00:06:18,900 –> 00:06:22,000
\ndoes not produce the
\nrighteousness of God. <\/p>\n
131
\n00:06:22,300 –> 00:06:24,300
\nSo, this is something we can
\nwork at. <\/p>\n
132
\n00:06:24,300 –> 00:06:27,200
\nAnd this is typical James
\nbecause otherwise, you could <\/p>\n
133
\n00:06:27,200 –> 00:06:29,600
\njust listen to me today.
\nTalk about lessons in life <\/p>\n
134
\n00:06:29,600 –> 00:06:31,600
\nthings.
\nWe To do great, High sandal, <\/p>\n
135
\n00:06:31,600 –> 00:06:34,300
\ndoctrinal issues or whatever and
\ngo home and think, well, you <\/p>\n
136
\n00:06:34,308 –> 00:06:36,000
\nknow, that’s fine.
\nI believe all that stuff. <\/p>\n
137
\n00:06:36,000 –> 00:06:38,000
\nGreat.
\nBut when James gets to the <\/p>\n
138
\n00:06:38,000 –> 00:06:39,600
\nPractical things, it says all
\nright. <\/p>\n
139
\n00:06:39,600 –> 00:06:42,200
\nNow, how you doing on this?
\nAre you the kind of person <\/p>\n
140
\n00:06:42,200 –> 00:06:44,900
\nthat’s quick to hear when
\nsomebody wants to talk about <\/p>\n
141
\n00:06:44,900 –> 00:06:46,300
\nsomething?
\nAre we willing to listen? <\/p>\n
142
\n00:06:46,400 –> 00:06:49,300
\nI mean really listen and
\nunderstand what the person is <\/p>\n
143
\n00:06:49,300 –> 00:06:51,500
\nthinking, that’s what we need to
\ndo. <\/p>\n
144
\n00:06:51,500 –> 00:06:55,100
\nWe need to understand and so we
\ncan jump into their perspective <\/p>\n
145
\n00:06:55,100 –> 00:06:57,800
\nand repeat back and we really
\nunderstand where they’re coming <\/p>\n
146
\n00:06:57,800 –> 00:07:00,900
\nfrom, let’s be quick to hear and
\nthat That will make the slow to <\/p>\n
147
\n00:07:00,900 –> 00:07:04,100
\nspeak so that will help zip that
\nthat mouth up a little bit. <\/p>\n
148
\n00:07:04,100 –> 00:07:07,300
\nSo we don’t react the wrong way
\nand we don’t just jump on <\/p>\n
149
\n00:07:07,300 –> 00:07:11,000
\nsomebody because what we think
\nwhat we think they think we’re <\/p>\n
150
\n00:07:11,000 –> 00:07:14,400
\ngoing to listen instead and then
\nwe’re going to be slow to wrath <\/p>\n
151
\n00:07:14,400 –> 00:07:17,700
\nlet’s not get angry right away
\nat people because it doesn’t <\/p>\n
152
\n00:07:17,700 –> 00:07:20,700
\nproduce the righteousness of
\nGod, that’s the problem. <\/p>\n
153
\n00:07:20,800 –> 00:07:23,000
\nIt when we’re trying to live,
\nlike godly people. <\/p>\n
154
\n00:07:23,200 –> 00:07:24,600
\nSo we don’t want to be like
\nthat. <\/p>\n
155
\n00:07:24,600 –> 00:07:27,200
\nWe want to learn to overcome
\nthose things so that we can <\/p>\n
156
\n00:07:27,200 –> 00:07:29,900
\nreally be single-minded and
\nbelieve that God is in it. <\/p>\n
157
\n00:07:30,400 –> 00:07:33,500
\nEven when somebody comes to us
\nin on a Sunday or there during <\/p>\n
158
\n00:07:33,500 –> 00:07:35,900
\nthe week, somebody calls us up
\nand they say something they <\/p>\n
159
\n00:07:35,900 –> 00:07:38,000
\nshouldn’t say and they get us
\nangry. <\/p>\n
160
\n00:07:38,300 –> 00:07:41,200
\nWe have to realize that God is
\naware of all that he knows <\/p>\n
161
\n00:07:41,200 –> 00:07:43,500
\nwhat’s going on.
\nAnd this could be just one of <\/p>\n
162
\n00:07:43,508 –> 00:07:46,100
\nthose is one of those situations
\nin life where he’s waiting to <\/p>\n
163
\n00:07:46,100 –> 00:07:47,800
\nsee, how are we going to
\nrespond? <\/p>\n
164
\n00:07:48,200 –> 00:07:51,800
\nNo, not what did they do wrong?
\nWhat am I going to respond to on<\/p>\n
165
\n00:07:51,800 –> 00:07:54,200
\nthis?
\nThis is an opportunity for me to<\/p>\n
166
\n00:07:54,200 –> 00:07:56,900
\nfind out whether I’m growing in
\nthe truth, whether I’m going to <\/p>\n
167
\n00:07:56,907 –> 00:07:59,300
\nrespond the right way.
\nSee, that’s a different <\/p>\n
168
\n00:07:59,300 –> 00:08:02,000
\nperspective.
\nWhat single-mindedness does as <\/p>\n
169
\n00:08:02,000 –> 00:08:04,100
\nopposed to the double minded man
\njust ago. <\/p>\n
170
\n00:08:04,100 –> 00:08:06,300
\nThey should have said it to me
\nand we lash out at them. <\/p>\n
171
\n00:08:06,300 –> 00:08:08,700
\nI’m going to get there.
\nWe going to find some way to get<\/p>\n
172
\n00:08:08,700 –> 00:08:11,200
\nback at that and correct that
\nproblem and all that, that’s <\/p>\n
173
\n00:08:11,200 –> 00:08:14,700
\nwhat double mindedness does.
\nAnd single-mindedness isn’t like<\/p>\n
174
\n00:08:14,700 –> 00:08:19,600
\nthat and single-mindedness
\nbrings peace and Harmony and it <\/p>\n
175
\n00:08:19,600 –> 00:08:22,000
\njust it’s a different
\nperspective and it brings the <\/p>\n
176
\n00:08:22,000 –> 00:08:24,100
\nrighteousness of God.
\nI mean, that’s the problem. <\/p>\n
177
\n00:08:24,200 –> 00:08:26,100
\nThe wrath of man is not going to
\ndo that. <\/p>\n
178
\n00:08:26,100 –> 00:08:29,100
\nIt’s not going to turn us into
\npeople that are going to go out <\/p>\n
179
\n00:08:29,100 –> 00:08:31,500
\nthere and work.
\nWork for others, and James is <\/p>\n
180
\n00:08:31,500 –> 00:08:34,000
\ngoing to give us some specifics
\non what the righteousness of God<\/p>\n
181
\n00:08:34,000 –> 00:08:36,000
\nis.
\nAnd it’s not just having a bunch<\/p>\n
182
\n00:08:36,000 –> 00:08:38,500
\nof doctrinal issues that we
\nbelieve the right doctrines and <\/p>\n
183
\n00:08:38,500 –> 00:08:41,600
\nwe belong to the right Church.
\nThe righteousness of God is when<\/p>\n
184
\n00:08:41,600 –> 00:08:44,600
\nwe get out there and we visit
\npeople that are sick, we go out <\/p>\n
185
\n00:08:44,600 –> 00:08:47,800
\nand look for the orphans, we
\nhelp the older folks that need <\/p>\n
186
\n00:08:47,800 –> 00:08:50,500
\nhelp and occlusal life.
\nWe do whatever is needed in <\/p>\n
187
\n00:08:50,500 –> 00:08:52,300
\nackley’s whole life to help
\nother people. <\/p>\n
188
\n00:08:52,600 –> 00:08:56,100
\nThat’s James is perspective of
\nthe righteousness of God. <\/p>\n
189
\n00:08:56,200 –> 00:08:59,000
\nIt’s the right way of living,
\nwhere we learn to help other <\/p>\n
190
\n00:08:59,000 –> 00:09:02,100
\npeople out.
\nHis point is that the way this <\/p>\n
191
\n00:09:02,100 –> 00:09:06,000
\nis accomplished in verse 21 of
\nchapter one, the way we’re going<\/p>\n
192
\n00:09:06,000 –> 00:09:09,100
\nto do this is we’re going to lay
\naside all this filthiness and <\/p>\n
193
\n00:09:09,100 –> 00:09:12,000
\noverflow of wickedness.
\nWe’re going to put that stuff <\/p>\n
194
\n00:09:12,000 –> 00:09:14,900
\nout of us that we are by nature
\nand instead we’re going to <\/p>\n
195
\n00:09:14,900 –> 00:09:18,500
\nreceive the implanted word.
\nSee this is not something that <\/p>\n
196
\n00:09:18,500 –> 00:09:21,700
\ncomes from inside our heads.
\nThis is something that we have <\/p>\n
197
\n00:09:21,700 –> 00:09:24,800
\nto take into us.
\nIt’s implanted into us. <\/p>\n
198
\n00:09:25,200 –> 00:09:28,100
\nAnd this is why, when we leave
\nthis place this weekend, we have<\/p>\n
199
\n00:09:28,100 –> 00:09:31,300
\nto be more committed.
\nThe Young Apple and the parents <\/p>\n
200
\n00:09:31,300 –> 00:09:34,400
\nthat are here and the older
\nones, we all know, we have to be<\/p>\n
201
\n00:09:34,400 –> 00:09:37,900
\nreceiving the word daily, you
\nhave to be reading our Bibles <\/p>\n
202
\n00:09:37,900 –> 00:09:41,600
\notherwise we’re going to see all
\nthese other things coming out in<\/p>\n
203
\n00:09:41,600 –> 00:09:43,200
\nus and we’re going to we’re
\ngoing to use our tongue the <\/p>\n
204
\n00:09:43,200 –> 00:09:44,700
\nwrong way.
\nAnd we’re going to say things we<\/p>\n
205
\n00:09:44,700 –> 00:09:46,900
\nshouldn’t have said and think
\nthings we’re going to be really <\/p>\n
206
\n00:09:46,900 –> 00:09:50,600
\nfast to respond to somebody and
\nwe’re going to do the wrath of <\/p>\n
207
\n00:09:50,600 –> 00:09:53,600
\nman.
\nBut if we receive the word and <\/p>\n
208
\n00:09:53,600 –> 00:09:56,600
\nit’s like having an operation in
\nUS wear something, literally we <\/p>\n
209
\n00:09:56,600 –> 00:09:59,900
\nget cut open and the word gets
\nput into us, it’s implanted. <\/p>\n
210
\n00:10:00,200 –> 00:10:02,700
\nIn to us because it’s foreign to
\nour thinking. <\/p>\n
211
\n00:10:03,000 –> 00:10:06,700
\nIf we get that word into us,
\nthat implanted word is able to <\/p>\n
212
\n00:10:06,700 –> 00:10:09,700
\nsave your souls and we’ve got to
\nbe committed to doing that more <\/p>\n
213
\n00:10:09,700 –> 00:10:12,800
\noften.
\nAnd if we knew those of us that <\/p>\n
214
\n00:10:12,800 –> 00:10:16,500
\nwere sick if we do, you know
\nthat people that have illnesses <\/p>\n
215
\n00:10:16,700 –> 00:10:20,200
\nand we knew for sure, there was
\na magic pill at home. <\/p>\n
216
\n00:10:20,400 –> 00:10:24,500
\nAnd the doctors said, look, take
\none of these every day and <\/p>\n
217
\n00:10:24,500 –> 00:10:26,400
\nyou’ll feel you’re going to feel
\nso much better. <\/p>\n
218
\n00:10:26,600 –> 00:10:28,900
\nAll this illness it’s in you is
\ngoing to go away. <\/p>\n
219
\n00:10:29,100 –> 00:10:32,700
\nWe’d all take A whole bottle of
\nthem home with us and everybody <\/p>\n
220
\n00:10:32,700 –> 00:10:35,300
\nwould take them every day but
\nthere it is. <\/p>\n
221
\n00:10:35,400 –> 00:10:37,800
\nIt’s that’s it.
\nIt’s the word and we just got to<\/p>\n
222
\n00:10:37,808 –> 00:10:40,300
\nbe willing to do it.
\nIt’s it takes some effort on our<\/p>\n
223
\n00:10:40,300 –> 00:10:43,800
\npart but it’s just like heaven,
\nthe magic pill and it is going <\/p>\n
224
\n00:10:43,800 –> 00:10:46,300
\nto change our life.
\nIt’s slowly going to turn us <\/p>\n
225
\n00:10:46,400 –> 00:10:50,000
\ninto examples of the Lord Jesus
\nChrist and we will follow in the<\/p>\n
226
\n00:10:50,000 –> 00:10:53,900
\nsteps of our heavenly father.
\nSo James is point is that look <\/p>\n
227
\n00:10:53,900 –> 00:10:56,800
\nwhen you do this and you receive
\nthe implanted word, which is <\/p>\n
228
\n00:10:56,800 –> 00:10:59,500
\nable to save your souls, what
\nthis is going to do is it’ll <\/p>\n
229
\n00:10:59,500 –> 00:11:02,400
\nturn you into Doer of the word
\nand not just a hearer, you’re <\/p>\n
230
\n00:11:02,400 –> 00:11:04,800
\nnot going to be able to just sit
\nthere anymore and watch other <\/p>\n
231
\n00:11:04,800 –> 00:11:06,800
\npeople.
\nYou’re going to have to become <\/p>\n
232
\n00:11:06,900 –> 00:11:08,700
\ninvolved.
\nYou’re going to have to be <\/p>\n
233
\n00:11:08,700 –> 00:11:10,900
\nbecause this is what the word
\nwill drive you to do. <\/p>\n
234
\n00:11:10,900 –> 00:11:13,500
\nWhen you read your Bibles in
\nyour home and you see what all <\/p>\n
235
\n00:11:13,500 –> 00:11:16,400
\nthese active people did and how
\nthey were involved, you won’t be<\/p>\n
236
\n00:11:16,400 –> 00:11:18,700
\nable to sit there anymore and
\njust say well, that’s nice. <\/p>\n
237
\n00:11:18,700 –> 00:11:21,400
\nWatch everybody else work and
\nsomebody has something that they<\/p>\n
238
\n00:11:21,400 –> 00:11:23,300
\nneed and they need food or
\nclothing. <\/p>\n
239
\n00:11:23,300 –> 00:11:25,700
\nWhatever, we just watch them,
\nyou can’t do that anymore, <\/p>\n
240
\n00:11:25,700 –> 00:11:28,400
\nbecause we’re involved in the
\nword and looking at the Bible <\/p>\n
241
\n00:11:28,400 –> 00:11:32,000
\nexamples, there’s Interesting
\narticle on the internet, just <\/p>\n
242
\n00:11:32,000 –> 00:11:34,500
\nwasn’t too long ago back in
\nMarch, and I was working on <\/p>\n
243
\n00:11:34,800 –> 00:11:36,300
\nthese classes or something else
\nit’s time. <\/p>\n
244
\n00:11:36,300 –> 00:11:38,000
\nAnd I thought, that’s, that’s
\ncertainly true. <\/p>\n
245
\n00:11:38,200 –> 00:11:40,300
\nAnd it took scientists years to
\nfigure it out. <\/p>\n
246
\n00:11:40,400 –> 00:11:43,700
\nPeople do all kinds of studies
\nabout money and money and does <\/p>\n
247
\n00:11:43,700 –> 00:11:46,200
\nmoney bring happiness.
\nAnd what they were surprised to <\/p>\n
248
\n00:11:46,200 –> 00:11:48,800
\nfind over years is that a lot of
\ntimes, they discovered that <\/p>\n
249
\n00:11:48,800 –> 00:11:51,900
\nmoney doesn’t bring happiness.
\nSomebody wins the lottery and <\/p>\n
250
\n00:11:51,900 –> 00:11:54,100
\nall the sudden they got a
\nmillion dollars and they track <\/p>\n
251
\n00:11:54,100 –> 00:11:56,300
\nhim through life and find out.
\nIt didn’t really bring happiness<\/p>\n
252
\n00:11:56,300 –> 00:11:59,000
\nto them or you track some of
\nthese Sports characters. <\/p>\n
253
\n00:11:59,000 –> 00:12:01,600
\nIt get millions of Isn’t you
\nfind out later on in life? <\/p>\n
254
\n00:12:01,600 –> 00:12:03,900
\nThat their bodies are worn out
\nand they’ve spent all their <\/p>\n
255
\n00:12:03,900 –> 00:12:06,500
\nmoney and they wasted their
\nmoney in different places. <\/p>\n
256
\n00:12:06,500 –> 00:12:09,000
\nIt really didn’t bring
\nhappiness, what they never had <\/p>\n
257
\n00:12:09,000 –> 00:12:11,800
\nlooked at I guess, until this
\nstudy was how people spent their<\/p>\n
258
\n00:12:11,800 –> 00:12:15,000
\nmoney and much to, everybody’s
\nsurprise, what the Bible had <\/p>\n
259
\n00:12:15,000 –> 00:12:18,300
\nsaid all along, is if you really
\nwant happiness, for money, money<\/p>\n
260
\n00:12:18,300 –> 00:12:21,000
\ncan bring happiness, but they’ll
\nspend it on somebody else. <\/p>\n
261
\n00:12:21,700 –> 00:12:24,700
\nIt’s such a simple concept, we
\ndon’t just spend it on <\/p>\n
262
\n00:12:24,700 –> 00:12:27,600
\nourselves.
\nWe spent it on somebody else and<\/p>\n
263
\n00:12:27,600 –> 00:12:29,800
\nthat’s what really brings
\nhappiness. <\/p>\n
264
\n00:12:30,100 –> 00:12:32,800
\nGnu, when you help other people.
\nAnd some of you have known that <\/p>\n
265
\n00:12:32,800 –> 00:12:34,400
\nall along.
\nYou’ve found that out just by <\/p>\n
266
\n00:12:34,400 –> 00:12:36,200
\nreading your Bible that we don’t
\njust seek. <\/p>\n
267
\n00:12:36,200 –> 00:12:38,500
\nWhat’s what’s working for us?
\nYou see a need for somebody <\/p>\n
268
\n00:12:38,500 –> 00:12:41,000
\nelse, it’s spend the money on
\nthem and you make sure that <\/p>\n
269
\n00:12:41,000 –> 00:12:45,000
\nother people are taken care of.
\nSo the mirror test is James <\/p>\n
270
\n00:12:45,000 –> 00:12:48,900
\ngives it to us in verse 23
\nthere, if anyone is a hearer of <\/p>\n
271
\n00:12:48,900 –> 00:12:52,300
\nthe word and not a doer, he is
\nlike a man observing his natural<\/p>\n
272
\n00:12:52,300 –> 00:12:55,500
\nface in the mirror and he
\nobserves himself and goes away <\/p>\n
273
\n00:12:55,500 –> 00:12:57,200
\nfor immediately forgets.
\nWhat kind of man? <\/p>\n
274
\n00:12:57,200 –> 00:12:59,400
\nHe was.
\nSo, you know, this is so <\/p>\n
275
\n00:12:59,400 –> 00:13:01,300
\npractical.
\nJames he gives us the little <\/p>\n
276
\n00:13:01,300 –> 00:13:04,600
\nmirror test, he says, look if we
\nre if we do our readings at home<\/p>\n
277
\n00:13:04,600 –> 00:13:07,300
\nand we do our Bible readings or
\nwe come to a place like this and<\/p>\n
278
\n00:13:07,300 –> 00:13:09,700
\nwe read and we listen to these
\nclasses and we talk to each <\/p>\n
279
\n00:13:09,700 –> 00:13:11,200
\nother.
\nWe get a lot of Pumped up <\/p>\n
280
\n00:13:11,200 –> 00:13:13,800
\nmotivation, it’s like the mirror
\ntest. <\/p>\n
281
\n00:13:13,900 –> 00:13:17,600
\nSee the natural man looks at
\nhimself in the mirror sees what <\/p>\n
282
\n00:13:17,600 –> 00:13:21,800
\nhe sees and walks away and in
\nfive minutes forgets it all and <\/p>\n
283
\n00:13:21,800 –> 00:13:23,300
\nat sometimes that’s all it
\ntakes. <\/p>\n
284
\n00:13:23,800 –> 00:13:26,000
\nYou look like sometimes, I
\nremember being a young person, <\/p>\n
285
\n00:13:26,000 –> 00:13:27,600
\nyou go.
\nSometimes the class was like <\/p>\n
286
\n00:13:27,600 –> 00:13:29,800
\nthis to the weekend and you hear
\nall these things that we can do <\/p>\n
287
\n00:13:29,800 –> 00:13:32,100
\nwhen we Get home, you know, the
\ncommitment to do the Bible <\/p>\n
288
\n00:13:32,100 –> 00:13:33,500
\nratings, get out to meeting
\nhelp. <\/p>\n
289
\n00:13:33,500 –> 00:13:35,500
\nPeople look around in a
\ncollegial, life of what we can <\/p>\n
290
\n00:13:35,500 –> 00:13:39,200
\ndo in 10 minutes down the road.
\nIt’s like, wow, that’s gone and <\/p>\n
291
\n00:13:39,200 –> 00:13:42,300
\nit’s on the school back to work
\nand all the different things <\/p>\n
292
\n00:13:42,300 –> 00:13:44,800
\ncome back into our life.
\nAnd we leave the Gathering and <\/p>\n
293
\n00:13:44,800 –> 00:13:47,600
\nit’s like wow where we ever
\nreally there and by Monday <\/p>\n
294
\n00:13:47,600 –> 00:13:49,700
\nmorning and you’re back at work
\nand you’re back at school and <\/p>\n
295
\n00:13:49,708 –> 00:13:51,800
\nyou’re back into those classes.
\nYou doing all that stuff you <\/p>\n
296
\n00:13:51,808 –> 00:13:54,500
\nwanted like, did I really go
\naway for the weekend and it’s <\/p>\n
297
\n00:13:54,500 –> 00:13:58,400
\nlike gone and that’s the problem
\nwith the natural man it’s just <\/p>\n
298
\n00:13:58,400 –> 00:14:01,300
\ngone like that.
\nAnd if Are getting the Bible’s <\/p>\n
299
\n00:14:01,300 –> 00:14:04,400
\nout again on Monday and getting
\nback to this again, then it’s <\/p>\n
300
\n00:14:04,400 –> 00:14:08,100
\nlost in all the effort of coming
\nhere is gone at that point. <\/p>\n
301
\n00:14:08,100 –> 00:14:10,700
\nAnd so, we’ve got to have that
\nconsistent. <\/p>\n
302
\n00:14:10,700 –> 00:14:12,200
\nWe can’t just look in the
\nmirror. <\/p>\n
303
\n00:14:12,200 –> 00:14:14,300
\nWalk away and not come back and
\nlook. <\/p>\n
304
\n00:14:14,300 –> 00:14:17,500
\nAgain, we’ve got to come back
\nand look again or once in a <\/p>\n
305
\n00:14:17,508 –> 00:14:18,300
\nwhile.
\nWe find this. <\/p>\n
306
\n00:14:18,300 –> 00:14:20,100
\nSome people that when they
\nlooked and do the mirror test, <\/p>\n
307
\n00:14:20,100 –> 00:14:23,300
\nthat what they see in the mirror
\nisn’t really what is on the <\/p>\n
308
\n00:14:23,308 –> 00:14:27,400
\nother side and see that happens
\nto sometimes, we sort of deceive<\/p>\n
309
\n00:14:27,400 –> 00:14:31,000
\nourselves as James says in here.
\nAnd what We see in the mirror <\/p>\n
310
\n00:14:31,000 –> 00:14:33,000
\nisn’t really what’s on the other
\nside. <\/p>\n
311
\n00:14:33,100 –> 00:14:36,000
\nSo we’ve got to be honest with
\nourselves and realize that we’re<\/p>\n
312
\n00:14:36,000 –> 00:14:37,400
\nlooking at ourselves in the
\nmirror. <\/p>\n
313
\n00:14:37,600 –> 00:14:40,400
\nThese are the issues we need to
\nwork on and let’s face it. <\/p>\n
314
\n00:14:40,400 –> 00:14:44,000
\nNobody here, has am all figured
\nout we’ve all got to go home. <\/p>\n
315
\n00:14:44,100 –> 00:14:47,300
\nEveryone of us, myself included,
\nand we work on these issues next<\/p>\n
316
\n00:14:47,300 –> 00:14:49,000
\nweek.
\nThat’s what we’re here for. <\/p>\n
317
\n00:14:49,600 –> 00:14:54,100
\nSo he says, in verse 25, them in
\ncontrast to the man who forgets <\/p>\n
318
\n00:14:54,100 –> 00:14:57,200
\nwhat kind of man that he was the
\nmeant, what the, what the godly <\/p>\n
319
\n00:14:57,200 –> 00:14:59,900
\nman does is he who looks into
\nthe law of Liberty? <\/p>\n
320
\n00:15:00,300 –> 00:15:04,100
\nThen continues in, it is not a
\nforgetful hearer, but a doer of <\/p>\n
321
\n00:15:04,100 –> 00:15:07,400
\nthe work and this one will be
\nblessed in what he does. <\/p>\n
322
\n00:15:07,700 –> 00:15:11,100
\nSo the law of Liberty, the law
\nof Liberty, this comes up in <\/p>\n
323
\n00:15:11,100 –> 00:15:14,200
\nJames’s writings, it also comes
\nup in Paul’s, this is not <\/p>\n
324
\n00:15:14,200 –> 00:15:16,700
\nanother one of these issues
\nwhere you can see that James and<\/p>\n
325
\n00:15:16,700 –> 00:15:20,200
\nPaul are on the same wavelength.
\nThey both used this phrase about<\/p>\n
326
\n00:15:20,200 –> 00:15:23,300
\nthe law of Liberty and you might
\nnot like, how could they both do<\/p>\n
327
\n00:15:23,300 –> 00:15:25,400
\nthat when they’re coming from
\ndifferent perspectives? <\/p>\n
328
\n00:15:25,400 –> 00:15:27,900
\nOne of them’s, coming from the
\nperspective of the judaizers is,<\/p>\n
329
\n00:15:27,900 –> 00:15:30,500
\nI like work, work, work, work,
\nwork, and the other, Coming from<\/p>\n
330
\n00:15:30,500 –> 00:15:32,900
\nthe perspective, James here of
\nthe people that were like just <\/p>\n
331
\n00:15:32,900 –> 00:15:35,300
\nsitting back and watching and
\njoining the grace of God and <\/p>\n
332
\n00:15:35,300 –> 00:15:39,200
\nthey weren’t involved.
\nBut see in both cases in both <\/p>\n
333
\n00:15:39,200 –> 00:15:44,000
\ncases, the law of Liberty is the
\nfreedom that we have in Christ. <\/p>\n
334
\n00:15:44,200 –> 00:15:47,100
\nThe freedom to not be bound
\nanymore. <\/p>\n
335
\n00:15:47,100 –> 00:15:50,700
\nLike Paul would stay to a
\nritualistic series of laws. <\/p>\n
336
\n00:15:50,700 –> 00:15:53,400
\nThat says you got to do this.
\nThis this this is but you don’t <\/p>\n
337
\n00:15:53,400 –> 00:15:55,100
\nwant to help out in those that
\nyou don’t have to help out <\/p>\n
338
\n00:15:55,100 –> 00:15:56,500
\nnotice.
\nYou don’t have to help out in <\/p>\n
339
\n00:15:56,500 –> 00:15:59,000
\nthat because all you do is
\nfollow this, this is this and go<\/p>\n
340
\n00:15:59,000 –> 00:16:01,400
\nthrough these checklists.
\nList and Paul says, you’ve been <\/p>\n
341
\n00:16:01,400 –> 00:16:05,800
\nfreed from that, we’ve been
\nfreed to love one another and to<\/p>\n
342
\n00:16:05,800 –> 00:16:08,900
\nserve one another through love.
\nThat’s the freedom that Paul <\/p>\n
343
\n00:16:08,900 –> 00:16:11,800
\nsays, we have in James, on the
\nother hand, he looks into the <\/p>\n
344
\n00:16:11,800 –> 00:16:14,900
\nlaw of Liberty and he says, look
\nthis law of Liberty is now going<\/p>\n
345
\n00:16:14,900 –> 00:16:17,500
\nto free you.
\nNot so that you can sit there <\/p>\n
346
\n00:16:17,500 –> 00:16:20,000
\nand sit back in our chair and do
\nall of our things. <\/p>\n
347
\n00:16:20,000 –> 00:16:23,800
\nAnd you know, go home and watch
\nour TVs and be involved in all <\/p>\n
348
\n00:16:23,800 –> 00:16:27,200
\nthe things of this life that we
\nwant to do and not be involved <\/p>\n
349
\n00:16:27,200 –> 00:16:29,900
\nin a collegial.
\nThis law of Liberty is going to <\/p>\n
350
\n00:16:30,100 –> 00:16:34,900
\nYou free from that to become
\nworkers for God, slaves of God <\/p>\n
351
\n00:16:34,900 –> 00:16:37,700
\nbecome real workers.
\nLike the, like Abraham was like <\/p>\n
352
\n00:16:37,700 –> 00:16:40,500
\na, like a ray AB was, and he’s
\ngoing to give us some specific <\/p>\n
353
\n00:16:40,500 –> 00:16:42,600
\nexamples of how this actually
\ncomes to pass. <\/p>\n
354
\n00:16:42,900 –> 00:16:45,200
\nSo this one will be blessed in
\nwhat he does. <\/p>\n
355
\n00:16:45,400 –> 00:16:48,600
\nSo you got to look into that law
\nof Liberty and it’s the law of <\/p>\n
356
\n00:16:48,600 –> 00:16:50,500
\nLiberty.
\nIts entry calls it, the law <\/p>\n
357
\n00:16:50,500 –> 00:16:52,700
\nbecause of course, the Jews
\nwould have been big on their <\/p>\n
358
\n00:16:52,700 –> 00:16:55,400
\nlaw.
\nBut this is a law that frees you<\/p>\n
359
\n00:16:55,400 –> 00:16:58,000
\nfrom the limits of the law of
\nMoses. <\/p>\n
360
\n00:16:58,100 –> 00:17:01,800
\nIt frees you to become an active
\nmember of the family of God, <\/p>\n
361
\n00:17:01,800 –> 00:17:04,099
\nliving out the character of God
\nand all the different things <\/p>\n
362
\n00:17:04,099 –> 00:17:06,500
\nthat you do.
\nAnd so, you can see that that <\/p>\n
363
\n00:17:06,500 –> 00:17:09,099
\nlaw of Liberty, phrase is picked
\nup a bunch of times in the New <\/p>\n
364
\n00:17:09,099 –> 00:17:11,000
\nTestament.
\nWhen the Apostle Paul refers to <\/p>\n
365
\n00:17:11,000 –> 00:17:13,500
\nour freedom.
\nHe says in First Corinthians 10 <\/p>\n
366
\n00:17:13,500 –> 00:17:17,200
\nthat he calls it, the freedom
\nthat we have a freedom to eat, <\/p>\n
367
\n00:17:17,200 –> 00:17:19,599
\nthat’s part of the law of
\nLiberty, the freedom to eat all <\/p>\n
368
\n00:17:19,599 –> 00:17:22,599
\nthe different foods.
\nJames refers to adhere in <\/p>\n
369
\n00:17:22,599 –> 00:17:25,200
\nchapter 1.
\nFirst Peter Peter refers to it, <\/p>\n
370
\n00:17:25,200 –> 00:17:27,900
\ndon’t misuse your Liberty.
\nHe warns them. <\/p>\n
371
\n00:17:28,000 –> 00:17:31,200
\nSee if the Liberties that we
\nhave But you can, it’s not just <\/p>\n
372
\n00:17:31,200 –> 00:17:34,500
\nthe freedom to be free from all
\nthe work, and now we’re free <\/p>\n
373
\n00:17:34,500 –> 00:17:36,300
\nfrom everything.
\nThey’ll do anything anymore. <\/p>\n
374
\n00:17:36,600 –> 00:17:40,000
\nIt’s a freedom to be free to do
\nwhat we should have been doing <\/p>\n
375
\n00:17:40,000 –> 00:17:42,100
\nall along.
\nThat’s what we’ve been free to <\/p>\n
376
\n00:17:42,100 –> 00:17:44,100
\ndo.
\nWe’ve been comfrey, as Paul <\/p>\n
377
\n00:17:44,100 –> 00:17:48,100
\nwould say, you’re free from
\nbeing slaves of sin to where now<\/p>\n
378
\n00:17:48,100 –> 00:17:51,600
\nyou are slaves of God, that
\nthat’s the freedom that we have.<\/p>\n
379
\n00:17:51,700 –> 00:17:54,300
\nAnd if any of us think that
\nwe’ve got a freedom that what in<\/p>\n
380
\n00:17:54,300 –> 00:17:55,600
\ncrisis, our freedom is just
\nthat. <\/p>\n
381
\n00:17:55,600 –> 00:17:57,700
\nNow, we were free, we don’t have
\nto do anything. <\/p>\n
382
\n00:17:57,700 –> 00:17:59,900
\nWe’re free from sin, and we’re
\njust free to do our own. <\/p>\n
383
\n00:18:00,000 –> 00:18:02,600
\nIn life, that isn’t what the
\nusing this law of Liberty for a <\/p>\n
384
\n00:18:02,600 –> 00:18:05,500
\ntall, Paul refers to it in,
\nRomans 8, that way, when he <\/p>\n
385
\n00:18:05,500 –> 00:18:08,300
\ntalks about the law of the
\nSenate, love sin and death, and <\/p>\n
386
\n00:18:08,300 –> 00:18:11,000
\nthe, the law of the spirit of
\nlife has set us free from the <\/p>\n
387
\n00:18:11,000 –> 00:18:13,900
\nlaw of sin and death.
\nOr I love Paul’s phrase in <\/p>\n
388
\n00:18:13,900 –> 00:18:16,200
\nGalatians.
\nHere, he says that we are freed <\/p>\n
389
\n00:18:16,200 –> 00:18:18,400
\nto serve one another through
\nlove. <\/p>\n
390
\n00:18:18,600 –> 00:18:20,300
\nThat’s the freedom that we’ve
\nbeen given. <\/p>\n
391
\n00:18:20,700 –> 00:18:25,800
\nSo notice because this is such a
\nproblem, James three times three<\/p>\n
392
\n00:18:25,800 –> 00:18:27,600
\ntimes.
\nAt the end of chapter one, did <\/p>\n
393
\n00:18:27,600 –> 00:18:32,000
\nyou catch those three times?
\nHe says, Alt be deceived. <\/p>\n
394
\n00:18:33,000 –> 00:18:35,400
\nThat is see when that happens,
\nyou know, that’s a warning to <\/p>\n
395
\n00:18:35,400 –> 00:18:38,700
\nevery one of us here that we can
\nlisten to these classes, we can <\/p>\n
396
\n00:18:38,700 –> 00:18:40,400
\nread our Bibles.
\nWe can do. <\/p>\n
397
\n00:18:40,400 –> 00:18:43,200
\nWe can read quickly through
\nJames chapter 1, and we could <\/p>\n
398
\n00:18:43,200 –> 00:18:46,500
\nmiss the fact that James warns
\nus that this is not going to be <\/p>\n
399
\n00:18:46,500 –> 00:18:48,100
\nsomething.
\nThe old man wants to hear. <\/p>\n
400
\n00:18:48,300 –> 00:18:51,900
\nI mean, our fleshly thinking
\ndoesn’t want to do this and so <\/p>\n
401
\n00:18:51,900 –> 00:18:56,400
\nhe three times he points out in
\nverse in verse 16 to 18 there. <\/p>\n
402
\n00:18:56,400 –> 00:19:00,700
\nWhen he talks that verse 16,
\ndon’t be deceived my brethren <\/p>\n
403
\n00:19:01,100 –> 00:19:03,800
\nand he’s talking about every
\ngood and Gift coming down from <\/p>\n
404
\n00:19:03,800 –> 00:19:06,000
\nGod.
\nWe leads into this issue of <\/p>\n
405
\n00:19:06,000 –> 00:19:10,100
\npartiality that God loves you
\nand he’s good to everybody and <\/p>\n
406
\n00:19:10,100 –> 00:19:13,400
\nso should you.
\nHe brought he mentioned up again<\/p>\n
407
\n00:19:13,500 –> 00:19:18,300
\nabout being deceived down in
\nverse 22, so he says there, but <\/p>\n
408
\n00:19:18,300 –> 00:19:21,900
\nthe doers of, but the doers of
\nthe word and not hearers only <\/p>\n
409
\n00:19:22,000 –> 00:19:26,400
\ndeceiving yourselves, you see.
\nOur natural mind is so good at <\/p>\n
410
\n00:19:26,400 –> 00:19:28,700
\nthis.
\nWe can go home and we can go <\/p>\n
411
\n00:19:28,700 –> 00:19:31,300
\nback to everything the way it
\nwas Monday morning and we can <\/p>\n
412
\n00:19:31,300 –> 00:19:34,600
\ndeceive our minds into Aching
\nword, just fine and dandy and <\/p>\n
413
\n00:19:34,600 –> 00:19:37,400
\nwe’re living the truth.
\nThe way we had been before and <\/p>\n
414
\n00:19:37,400 –> 00:19:39,800
\nwe don’t make any change.
\nWe don’t really, we’re not <\/p>\n
415
\n00:19:39,800 –> 00:19:41,400
\nreally doing it.
\nWe’re not really involved in a <\/p>\n
416
\n00:19:41,408 –> 00:19:43,800
\ncollegial life or not, really
\nhelping other people out. <\/p>\n
417
\n00:19:44,000 –> 00:19:46,400
\nSome of us could do that.
\nWe can deceive ourselves, we <\/p>\n
418
\n00:19:46,400 –> 00:19:47,800
\nthink.
\nWell, we’re okay, because we’ve <\/p>\n
419
\n00:19:47,800 –> 00:19:51,900
\ngot the right religion, we
\nbelieve the truth, we understand<\/p>\n
420
\n00:19:51,900 –> 00:19:54,800
\nthe statement of faith and we
\nhave all the doctrines to see, <\/p>\n
421
\n00:19:54,800 –> 00:19:57,000
\nthat’s, that’s mental,
\ndeception. <\/p>\n
422
\n00:19:57,000 –> 00:19:59,300
\nBrothers and sisters.
\nIf it isn’t changing our life. <\/p>\n
423
\n00:19:59,500 –> 00:20:02,300
\nIf we lash out at people in the
\nway we talk, and we ate, we have<\/p>\n
424
\n00:20:02,300 –> 00:20:04,000
\nevil.
\nUp about each other. <\/p>\n
425
\n00:20:04,300 –> 00:20:07,100
\nWe’re just deceiving ourselves,
\nour natural model do that. <\/p>\n
426
\n00:20:07,300 –> 00:20:09,500
\nAnd in verse 26, he mentions it
\nagain. <\/p>\n
427
\n00:20:09,500 –> 00:20:12,200
\nFor anyone among you thinks he’s
\nreligious and does not Bridle <\/p>\n
428
\n00:20:12,200 –> 00:20:14,900
\nhis tongue but deceives his own
\nheart. <\/p>\n
429
\n00:20:15,000 –> 00:20:18,600
\nThis one’s religion is useless.
\nWe talked about putting it out <\/p>\n
430
\n00:20:18,600 –> 00:20:20,900
\non the table that can anybody
\nmissed that? <\/p>\n
431
\n00:20:21,200 –> 00:20:24,000
\nJames doesn’t miss the words, he
\njust calls a spade. <\/p>\n
432
\n00:20:24,000 –> 00:20:27,200
\nA spade and says, if you think
\nyou’ve got the right religion <\/p>\n
433
\n00:20:27,400 –> 00:20:31,300
\nand your religion isn’t strong
\nenough to control your tongue <\/p>\n
434
\n00:20:31,500 –> 00:20:34,500
\nand what you say to each other.
\nOther what you say to your <\/p>\n
435
\n00:20:34,500 –> 00:20:37,900
\nparents and what the parents say
\nto their kids and what you say <\/p>\n
436
\n00:20:37,900 –> 00:20:41,400
\nto your spouse’s in your own
\nhomes, when nobody else is there<\/p>\n
437
\n00:20:41,400 –> 00:20:44,100
\nto here?
\nIf your religion isn’t an isn’t <\/p>\n
438
\n00:20:44,100 –> 00:20:49,000
\nstrong enough to control that
\nyour religions useless, Useless.<\/p>\n
439
\n00:20:49,500 –> 00:20:52,600
\nSo what if you have the right
\ndoctrines, it’s not impacting <\/p>\n
440
\n00:20:52,600 –> 00:20:54,800
\nyour life.
\nYou’re not becoming a child of <\/p>\n
441
\n00:20:54,808 –> 00:20:58,100
\nGod children of God’s just don’t
\nhave the right religion, have <\/p>\n
442
\n00:20:58,100 –> 00:21:00,900
\nthe right way of life.
\nAnd that’s what they’re after. <\/p>\n
443
\n00:21:00,900 –> 00:21:03,100
\nThis would have been what Jesus
\nhad been trying, to convince <\/p>\n
444
\n00:21:03,100 –> 00:21:07,000
\nJames of all of his early life.
\nAnd James would have been a good<\/p>\n
445
\n00:21:07,000 –> 00:21:08,700
\nPharisee.
\nProbably growing up, following <\/p>\n
446
\n00:21:08,700 –> 00:21:11,400
\nthe law, doing all those things,
\ngoing through the checklist. <\/p>\n
447
\n00:21:11,600 –> 00:21:14,300
\nAnd he would have heard Jesus
\nsay this over and over and over <\/p>\n
448
\n00:21:14,300 –> 00:21:16,400
\nagain.
\nIt’s all about how you live. <\/p>\n
449
\n00:21:16,700 –> 00:21:19,800
\nIt’s The Sermon on the Mount.
\nIt’s all about your way of life <\/p>\n
450
\n00:21:19,800 –> 00:21:22,600
\nand so, you know, James now is
\njust coming back and hitting the<\/p>\n
451
\n00:21:22,600 –> 00:21:26,500
\nsame issues with these people.
\nThat had the right bullies, they<\/p>\n
452
\n00:21:26,500 –> 00:21:30,200
\nhad the right religion, but the
\nreligion had no power, no power <\/p>\n
453
\n00:21:30,200 –> 00:21:32,500
\nto change their life.
\nSo be careful. <\/p>\n
454
\n00:21:32,600 –> 00:21:36,100
\nIt shows when he uses that three
\ntimes, that’s a warning to <\/p>\n
455
\n00:21:36,100 –> 00:21:38,800
\nourselves, we’re really good at
\ndeceiving ourselves. <\/p>\n
456
\n00:21:38,900 –> 00:21:42,200
\nWe look in the mirror, we see a
\nface and we walk away in a few <\/p>\n
457
\n00:21:42,200 –> 00:21:44,000
\nminutes and we forget what we
\nheard today. <\/p>\n
458
\n00:21:44,200 –> 00:21:45,800
\nAre we forget what James had to
\nsay? <\/p>\n
459
\n00:21:46,000 –> 00:21:47,900
\nAnd we go home and we just go
\nback to our old ways. <\/p>\n
460
\n00:21:48,000 –> 00:21:49,700
\nOf life.
\nWe got to be careful that we <\/p>\n
461
\n00:21:49,700 –> 00:21:53,700
\ndon’t do those things as well.
\nDon’t be deceived because pure <\/p>\n
462
\n00:21:53,700 –> 00:21:56,500
\nand undefiled religion.
\nYou see what James does? <\/p>\n
463
\n00:21:56,500 –> 00:21:59,400
\nNot as he gives you a practical
\nexample to say, all right, how <\/p>\n
464
\n00:21:59,400 –> 00:22:02,800
\nare you doing on this?
\nHave you deceived yourself and <\/p>\n
465
\n00:22:02,800 –> 00:22:05,300
\nis practical?
\nExample is to take some cases <\/p>\n
466
\n00:22:05,300 –> 00:22:08,400
\nright here of people who can’t
\npay back you. <\/p>\n
467
\n00:22:08,400 –> 00:22:12,700
\nSo he talks about the widows and
\nthe orphans as your religion, <\/p>\n
468
\n00:22:12,700 –> 00:22:16,400
\nstrong enough to make you do
\nsomething for somebody else. <\/p>\n
469
\n00:22:16,400 –> 00:22:19,900
\nKnowing that Never going to be
\nable to give you anything back <\/p>\n
470
\n00:22:19,900 –> 00:22:22,500
\nin return.
\nI mean like Jesus said, I mean <\/p>\n
471
\n00:22:22,700 –> 00:22:25,900
\neven the Gentiles to do, those
\nkind of things if you take care <\/p>\n
472
\n00:22:25,900 –> 00:22:28,500
\nof the Rich and they have you
\nback over and you expect a bad <\/p>\n
473
\n00:22:28,500 –> 00:22:30,500
\nkind of thing, even the Gentiles
\ndo that. <\/p>\n
474
\n00:22:30,600 –> 00:22:34,000
\nBut if your, if your religion is
\nstrong enough to change your <\/p>\n
475
\n00:22:34,000 –> 00:22:36,900
\nlife to where you do things for
\nGod and you help people out, you<\/p>\n
476
\n00:22:36,900 –> 00:22:40,100
\nsee a need in a collegial life
\nand somebody has a need, they <\/p>\n
477
\n00:22:40,100 –> 00:22:44,200
\nneed something, whatever it is,
\neconomics food, anything, <\/p>\n
478
\n00:22:44,200 –> 00:22:45,700
\nsomebody do a Bible class with
\nthem. <\/p>\n
479
\n00:22:45,700 –> 00:22:47,000
\nSomebody come over and visit
\nthat. <\/p>\n
480
\n00:22:47,000 –> 00:22:49,500
\nWhatever it is.
\nAnd realize you’re never going <\/p>\n
481
\n00:22:49,500 –> 00:22:52,700
\nto get payback from that person.
\nIf your religion is doing that <\/p>\n
482
\n00:22:52,700 –> 00:22:56,500
\nand it’s motivating you to help
\nother people like that, then <\/p>\n
483
\n00:22:56,600 –> 00:23:00,100
\nyour religion has power.
\nBut if it doesn’t it’s useless <\/p>\n
484
\n00:23:00,400 –> 00:23:01,900
\nbecause it’s not changing your
\nlife. <\/p>\n
485
\n00:23:02,300 –> 00:23:03,700
\nAnd you look at the young people
\nthat are here. <\/p>\n
486
\n00:23:03,700 –> 00:23:05,700
\nLook at how many young people
\nneed you. <\/p>\n
487
\n00:23:05,700 –> 00:23:08,700
\nWhen you go back home, all I of
\npeople are struggling. <\/p>\n
488
\n00:23:08,700 –> 00:23:11,100
\nThey’re going through troubles
\nat school, they have family <\/p>\n
489
\n00:23:11,100 –> 00:23:13,600
\nproblems.
\nIs your religion strong enough <\/p>\n
490
\n00:23:13,600 –> 00:23:16,400
\nto take another young person and
\ncall him up every day. <\/p>\n
491
\n00:23:16,800 –> 00:23:20,600
\nCinnamon emails, A text message
\nand keep in contact with a <\/p>\n
492
\n00:23:20,600 –> 00:23:22,600
\nperson and help them through
\ntheir troubled. <\/p>\n
493
\n00:23:22,600 –> 00:23:26,200
\nTimes is the truth strong enough
\nin your life to do that? <\/p>\n
494
\n00:23:26,300 –> 00:23:29,800
\nIs it worth that kind of effort
\nor are we just here so that, you<\/p>\n
495
\n00:23:29,808 –> 00:23:31,600
\nknow, we can hear, you know,
\nwe’re here for our families <\/p>\n
496
\n00:23:31,600 –> 00:23:33,500
\nthere were here.
\nJust because, you know, it’s a <\/p>\n
497
\n00:23:33,500 –> 00:23:36,000
\nnice place to come, you know,
\nnice place to be here. <\/p>\n
498
\n00:23:36,000 –> 00:23:38,900
\nThey feed us good, they take
\ncare of us and it’s a good <\/p>\n
499
\n00:23:38,900 –> 00:23:40,100
\nsocial Gathering.
\nYou see? <\/p>\n
500
\n00:23:40,400 –> 00:23:42,900
\nThis is the kind of stuff.
\nJames is trying to get us to <\/p>\n
501
\n00:23:42,900 –> 00:23:45,000
\nThink Through.
\nIs this going to change your <\/p>\n
502
\n00:23:45,000 –> 00:23:46,600
\nlife?
\nOr are we just going to keep <\/p>\n
503
\n00:23:46,600 –> 00:23:49,800
\ngoing the same old way?
\nAnd so it’s a very practical <\/p>\n
504
\n00:23:49,800 –> 00:23:52,600
\nthing to bring up the widows and
\nthe orphans in their trouble <\/p>\n
505
\n00:23:52,600 –> 00:23:55,900
\nbecause they can’t help us.
\nAnd the other thing that he <\/p>\n
506
\n00:23:55,900 –> 00:23:58,800
\nbalances that with at, this is
\nperfect James right here. <\/p>\n
507
\n00:23:58,900 –> 00:24:01,900
\nHe brings up two things and he
\nmentions, first of all, the <\/p>\n
508
\n00:24:01,900 –> 00:24:04,400
\nwidows and the orphans.
\nThere’s there’s a test and <\/p>\n
509
\n00:24:04,400 –> 00:24:07,900
\nsecondly is the truth strong
\nenough to keep you unspotted <\/p>\n
510
\n00:24:07,900 –> 00:24:10,700
\nfrom the world.
\nIs this changing your life to <\/p>\n
511
\n00:24:10,700 –> 00:24:13,500
\nmake decisions so that you don’t
\nbecome involved in the things of<\/p>\n
512
\n00:24:13,508 –> 00:24:15,700
\nthis world that we shouldn’t be
\ninvolved in? <\/p>\n
513
\n00:24:15,900 –> 00:24:18,800
\nSo it’s a great balance between
\nthe the Things of the of the <\/p>\n
514
\n00:24:18,800 –> 00:24:21,900
\nocclusal life for people that
\nneed our help and then those <\/p>\n
515
\n00:24:21,900 –> 00:24:24,700
\nthings that we need to work on
\nabout ourselves to keep <\/p>\n
516
\n00:24:24,700 –> 00:24:26,900
\nourselves unspotted from the
\nworld. <\/p>\n
517
\n00:24:26,900 –> 00:24:28,700
\nAnd that’s why I like James,
\nhe’s very practical. <\/p>\n
518
\n00:24:28,700 –> 00:24:30,300
\nHe doesn’t just throw an issue
\nout there. <\/p>\n
519
\n00:24:30,300 –> 00:24:33,600
\nHe throws an issue out there and
\nthen gives us a measuring stick <\/p>\n
520
\n00:24:33,700 –> 00:24:35,800
\nas to.
\nHow are we doing now? <\/p>\n
521
\n00:24:35,800 –> 00:24:38,600
\nYou see when you go home it may
\nnot be the widows and the <\/p>\n
522
\n00:24:38,600 –> 00:24:42,000
\norphans in eurycleia it might be
\nsomebody else, but that’s what <\/p>\n
523
\n00:24:42,000 –> 00:24:43,400
\nyou have to think about here.
\nToday. <\/p>\n
524
\n00:24:43,400 –> 00:24:46,800
\nWe all have to be thinking about
\nwhat can we do to help? <\/p>\n
525
\n00:24:47,000 –> 00:24:50,200
\nMaybe it’s Sunday.
\nA school, maybe it’s in cyc, <\/p>\n
526
\n00:24:50,400 –> 00:24:53,100
\nwhatever it happens to be it.
\nMaybe it’s something like Hall <\/p>\n
527
\n00:24:53,100 –> 00:24:55,600
\ncleaning, you need somebody to
\nclean the hall, and there’s not <\/p>\n
528
\n00:24:55,600 –> 00:24:58,700
\nenough people to do.
\nIt is our religion strong enough<\/p>\n
529
\n00:24:58,800 –> 00:25:02,000
\nto help us do things for others.
\nRealizing there’s no payback. <\/p>\n
530
\n00:25:02,000 –> 00:25:05,100
\nRight now, the payback is in the
\nfact that we’re part of God’s <\/p>\n
531
\n00:25:05,100 –> 00:25:08,200
\nfamily and he loves us and he’s
\ngoing to give us eternal life. <\/p>\n
532
\n00:25:08,400 –> 00:25:10,700
\nThat’s the payback, not
\nsomething that we get right now <\/p>\n
533
\n00:25:10,700 –> 00:25:13,500
\nin this world.
\nSo what kind of religion do we <\/p>\n
534
\n00:25:13,500 –> 00:25:15,700
\nhave brother and sisters?
\nIf it went and young people is <\/p>\n
535
\n00:25:15,700 –> 00:25:17,700
\nit one that just looks good from
\nthe outside. <\/p>\n
536
\n00:25:18,000 –> 00:25:19,900
\nWe tell our friends that we just
\ndon’t have, we believe the <\/p>\n
537
\n00:25:19,900 –> 00:25:22,300
\ntruth, we have the truth.
\nOr is it a religion? <\/p>\n
538
\n00:25:22,300 –> 00:25:25,300
\nThat’s changing our life and
\nthat’s I think really that’s <\/p>\n
539
\n00:25:25,300 –> 00:25:28,800
\nwhat James is going to try to do
\nnow in chapters 2, 3 & 4 is, <\/p>\n
540
\n00:25:28,800 –> 00:25:30,600
\nhe’s going to look at it and 5
\nas well. <\/p>\n
541
\n00:25:30,600 –> 00:25:33,500
\nHe’s going to look at some
\nspecific issues that we can <\/p>\n
542
\n00:25:33,500 –> 00:25:36,900
\nexamine our own lives and find
\nout how we doing, how are we <\/p>\n
543
\n00:25:36,900 –> 00:25:39,700
\nreally doing and changing our
\nlives to learn to live for God. <\/p>\n
544
\n00:25:40,700 –> 00:25:45,200
\nNow, what happens then in the
\nnext four chapters in 2 3 4 5 is<\/p>\n
545
\n00:25:45,200 –> 00:25:47,800
\nthat James brings up most of
\nthese same issues. <\/p>\n
546
\n00:25:47,900 –> 00:25:50,900
\nHe’s touched on at the end here
\nin chapter one and he’s going to<\/p>\n
547
\n00:25:50,900 –> 00:25:53,800
\ndeal with that with some
\nspecific cases of how you can <\/p>\n
548
\n00:25:53,800 –> 00:25:56,800
\nfind out how you’re doing and
\nareas that they all need to <\/p>\n
549
\n00:25:56,800 –> 00:25:59,400
\nchange.
\nSo, the issue of partiality <\/p>\n
550
\n00:25:59,400 –> 00:26:02,000
\ncomes up in chapter two, right
\noff the bat as you saw in the <\/p>\n
551
\n00:26:02,000 –> 00:26:04,800
\nreading and that was from back
\nin chapter 18 verse 17. <\/p>\n
552
\n00:26:05,100 –> 00:26:08,000
\nWe got the doers of the word
\nthat he mentioned here in <\/p>\n
553
\n00:26:08,000 –> 00:26:11,900
\nchapter one at verse 22 and
\nthat’s going to come up again <\/p>\n
554
\n00:26:11,900 –> 00:26:16,500
\nand 2:14 the tongue, the idea of
\nlike controlling your tongue and<\/p>\n
555
\n00:26:16,500 –> 00:26:20,300
\nverse 26 of chapter Is going to
\ncome up again in chapter 3 and <\/p>\n
556
\n00:26:20,300 –> 00:26:22,900
\nverse 5, the wisdom that is from
\nabove. <\/p>\n
557
\n00:26:22,900 –> 00:26:25,900
\nHe’s going to touch on it again
\nin chapter 38 verse 13. <\/p>\n
558
\n00:26:26,200 –> 00:26:29,100
\nThe fighting’s and the wars that
\nwere going on is to you know <\/p>\n
559
\n00:26:29,100 –> 00:26:31,700
\nwhether you can control the
\nwrath of man that the <\/p>\n
560
\n00:26:31,700 –> 00:26:34,900
\nrighteousness of God is not done
\nby the wrath of man is going to <\/p>\n
561
\n00:26:34,908 –> 00:26:37,800
\ncome up and check her for
\nhumbling yourselves. <\/p>\n
562
\n00:26:37,800 –> 00:26:40,900
\nCame up in chapter one.
\nYou look at 1:21, it’s going to <\/p>\n
563
\n00:26:40,900 –> 00:26:43,900
\nbe again in chapter 4 and the
\nrich in their Pursuits is going <\/p>\n
564
\n00:26:43,900 –> 00:26:45,700
\nto be all over the place in this
\nbook. <\/p>\n
565
\n00:26:45,700 –> 00:26:48,800
\nPatience comes up again in
\nhelping the sick. <\/p>\n
566
\n00:26:48,900 –> 00:26:52,900
\nSo the rest of the letter, what
\nJames does is he lays out the <\/p>\n
567
\n00:26:52,900 –> 00:26:56,300
\nbasic framework and now he’s
\ngoing to give all these specific<\/p>\n
568
\n00:26:56,300 –> 00:26:58,700
\nthings to help us.
\nUnderstand how are we doing? <\/p>\n
569
\n00:26:58,900 –> 00:27:01,600
\nHow we doing these issues?
\nNow, for some of you you might <\/p>\n
570
\n00:27:01,600 –> 00:27:04,100
\nlook at Jeffers 2, 3, 4 and 5.
\nAnd you say well you don’t have <\/p>\n
571
\n00:27:04,100 –> 00:27:07,200
\nany problem with those specific
\nissues but what they are is <\/p>\n
572
\n00:27:07,200 –> 00:27:09,700
\nthey’re like they’re like
\nspecific cases. <\/p>\n
573
\n00:27:09,700 –> 00:27:13,200
\nThat the Ecclesia was having
\ntrouble with at that time and <\/p>\n
574
\n00:27:13,200 –> 00:27:15,800
\nwhat we have to do today is look
\nat well, how are we doing on <\/p>\n
575
\n00:27:15,800 –> 00:27:19,500
\nthose issues and what Other
\nissues have crept into our <\/p>\n
576
\n00:27:19,500 –> 00:27:22,700
\necclesial or our family life
\nthat we can take the same <\/p>\n
577
\n00:27:22,700 –> 00:27:26,100
\nlessons as James, and then apply
\nthose in our Ecclesia and our <\/p>\n
578
\n00:27:26,100 –> 00:27:29,100
\nlives.
\nSo, in Chapter 2, here’s what he<\/p>\n
579
\n00:27:29,100 –> 00:27:31,000
\ndoes.
\nHe sets out to find out. <\/p>\n
580
\n00:27:31,100 –> 00:27:33,800
\nAre you a doer?
\nAre you a doer of the word? <\/p>\n
581
\n00:27:33,900 –> 00:27:37,000
\nBecause when most people read
\nchapter one and they say, well, <\/p>\n
582
\n00:27:37,000 –> 00:27:39,500
\nyou got to be a doer of the word
\nbut be a doer of the word and <\/p>\n
583
\n00:27:39,500 –> 00:27:42,400
\nnot hearers only deceiving
\nyourselves, most of us, read <\/p>\n
584
\n00:27:42,400 –> 00:27:44,100
\nthat we all go away thinking.
\nOh I’m a doer. <\/p>\n
585
\n00:27:45,300 –> 00:27:47,800
\nI mean, let’s face it hands up.
\nWho thought they weren’t to do <\/p>\n
586
\n00:27:47,800 –> 00:27:50,300
\nher.
\nI mean, most of us all do. <\/p>\n
587
\n00:27:50,300 –> 00:27:53,700
\nWe all think we’re a doer.
\nSo what James does now is he <\/p>\n
588
\n00:27:53,700 –> 00:27:57,900
\nsays, all right, here’s what
\ndoers of the word really do and <\/p>\n
589
\n00:27:57,900 –> 00:27:59,900
\nthen he gives you specifics to
\nfind out. <\/p>\n
590
\n00:27:59,900 –> 00:28:03,200
\nWell, are you really a doer or
\ndid you just deceive yourself <\/p>\n
591
\n00:28:03,200 –> 00:28:06,400
\nand you thought you were a doer
\nor maybe you had a few items <\/p>\n
592
\n00:28:06,400 –> 00:28:08,600
\nover here that you’re a good
\ndoer in but oh you got a whole <\/p>\n
593
\n00:28:08,600 –> 00:28:10,700
\nbunch of over here that on
\nAnnika. <\/p>\n
594
\n00:28:10,700 –> 00:28:12,700
\nDo that.
\nI’m going to do that. <\/p>\n
595
\n00:28:13,000 –> 00:28:15,000
\nI didn’t know.
\nGod expected me to do that. <\/p>\n
596
\n00:28:15,300 –> 00:28:18,400
\nAnd so he gives the specifics
\nabout what was causing the <\/p>\n
597
\n00:28:18,400 –> 00:28:20,500
\ntrouble.
\nThen in a lot of these things <\/p>\n
598
\n00:28:20,500 –> 00:28:24,000
\nare still causing trouble now.
\nSo one of them is favoritism <\/p>\n
599
\n00:28:24,200 –> 00:28:27,600
\nPrejudice, so we might think
\nwe’re a doer of the word but <\/p>\n
600
\n00:28:27,600 –> 00:28:31,100
\nthen when it comes time to
\nreally treating everybody equal <\/p>\n
601
\n00:28:31,100 –> 00:28:34,400
\nin a collegial life, do we
\nreally loved everybody and the <\/p>\n
602
\n00:28:34,400 –> 00:28:36,600
\nEcclesia?
\nDo we really treat them all the <\/p>\n
603
\n00:28:36,600 –> 00:28:40,200
\nsame or do we have little
\nrankings based on, you know, <\/p>\n
604
\n00:28:40,200 –> 00:28:43,200
\ntheir family names based on
\nwhere they came from. <\/p>\n
605
\n00:28:43,600 –> 00:28:44,900
\nYou look back in the first
\ncentury. <\/p>\n
606
\n00:28:45,100 –> 00:28:47,600
\nLook at the Jewish Gentile.
\nWe have even got to that yet. <\/p>\n
607
\n00:28:47,600 –> 00:28:50,100
\nAnd that was going to become the
\nbig Prejudice issue later on <\/p>\n
608
\n00:28:50,100 –> 00:28:53,000
\nthis issue.
\nReally, never did get salt and <\/p>\n
609
\n00:28:53,000 –> 00:28:55,300
\nPaul had to pick it up and keep
\nworking at it. <\/p>\n
610
\n00:28:55,300 –> 00:28:58,100
\nAnd so, is it any big surprise
\nthat it’s still a problem today.<\/p>\n
611
\n00:28:58,100 –> 00:29:01,400
\nAnd what happens when we
\nprejudge each other, is it? <\/p>\n
612
\n00:29:01,400 –> 00:29:05,600
\nWe judge we start to become
\njudgers based on how somebody <\/p>\n
613
\n00:29:05,600 –> 00:29:09,100
\ndresses and based on what kind
\nof car they drive and all those <\/p>\n
614
\n00:29:09,100 –> 00:29:12,500
\nkind of things are based on
\ntheir economic status or what <\/p>\n
615
\n00:29:12,500 –> 00:29:15,200
\nBible version that they use.
\nYou see, we still You’re <\/p>\n
616
\n00:29:15,200 –> 00:29:18,200
\nthinking why don’t do that?
\nWell I don’t do that but do we <\/p>\n
617
\n00:29:18,700 –> 00:29:21,600
\nif you really look at all the
\ncases of prejudice and <\/p>\n
618
\n00:29:21,600 –> 00:29:24,400
\nprejudging that goes on, maybe
\ndo a little more of it than we <\/p>\n
619
\n00:29:24,400 –> 00:29:26,600
\nthought and that’s one of the
\nareas that we can work on. <\/p>\n
620
\n00:29:26,600 –> 00:29:29,100
\nSo James is going to look at
\nthat and then he’s going to look<\/p>\n
621
\n00:29:29,100 –> 00:29:31,500
\nat the rest of chapter 2.
\nWith whether we have an active <\/p>\n
622
\n00:29:31,500 –> 00:29:34,900
\nFaith, an Act of Faith, that’s
\nexpressed and works of Faith. <\/p>\n
623
\n00:29:34,900 –> 00:29:37,100
\nOr is our faith, just a very
\npassive one where? <\/p>\n
624
\n00:29:37,100 –> 00:29:38,300
\nOh yeah.
\nI believe the truth. <\/p>\n
625
\n00:29:38,600 –> 00:29:41,900
\nI believe the truth.
\nSo the Lord Of Glory comes up. <\/p>\n
626
\n00:29:41,900 –> 00:29:44,200
\nReady to be getting in verse 1
\nand for any of you that like to <\/p>\n
627
\n00:29:44,200 –> 00:29:46,700
\ndo any Bible, King and James
\nchapter 28 verse 1. <\/p>\n
628
\n00:29:46,700 –> 00:29:50,200
\nDon’t hold the faith, he says of
\nthe Lord, Jesus Christ, the lord<\/p>\n
629
\n00:29:50,200 –> 00:29:53,200
\nof Glory with partiality.
\nSo he’s going to get right off <\/p>\n
630
\n00:29:53,200 –> 00:29:56,700
\ninto this issue of partiality.
\nNow, he may have mentioned this <\/p>\n
631
\n00:29:56,700 –> 00:29:59,100
\nphrase, the Lord Of Glory that
\ncomes up. <\/p>\n
632
\n00:29:59,400 –> 00:30:01,400
\nThe Apostle.
\nPaul uses it as well in First <\/p>\n
633
\n00:30:01,400 –> 00:30:05,700
\nCorinthians 2 and when Paul uses
\nthat phrase, the Lord Of Glory, <\/p>\n
634
\n00:30:05,800 –> 00:30:09,000
\nhe’s using it from the concept
\nof the glory going out, like, <\/p>\n
635
\n00:30:09,000 –> 00:30:12,300
\nthe father of lights.
\nAnd when the glory goes out, you<\/p>\n
636
\n00:30:12,300 –> 00:30:14,900
\nsay, when Paul uses that phrase
\nand call him, the Lord of, <\/p>\n
637
\n00:30:15,100 –> 00:30:18,200
\nLaurie and First Corinthians 2,
\nPaul is now dealing with the Jew<\/p>\n
638
\n00:30:18,200 –> 00:30:20,900
\nand Gentile issue, he’s trying
\nto get them to see that. <\/p>\n
639
\n00:30:20,900 –> 00:30:24,700
\nLook, we only have one God and
\nhe shines, his glory on the Jews<\/p>\n
640
\n00:30:24,700 –> 00:30:28,800
\nand on the Gentiles and he’s
\nPaul is later on from James <\/p>\n
641
\n00:30:28,800 –> 00:30:31,600
\nconstantly, trying to deal with
\nit, with the Jew, Gentile issue,<\/p>\n
642
\n00:30:31,800 –> 00:30:34,400
\nJames may bring it up in this
\ncase because he’s trying to get <\/p>\n
643
\n00:30:34,400 –> 00:30:38,600
\nthem to see that they can’t show
\npartiality The Lord Of Glory <\/p>\n
644
\n00:30:38,600 –> 00:30:40,900
\nShines on them all.
\nAnd we’ve got to learn to <\/p>\n
645
\n00:30:40,900 –> 00:30:44,600
\nreflect that just like God.
\nSo you can’t claim that you’re a<\/p>\n
646
\n00:30:44,608 –> 00:30:46,800
\nfollower.
\nLower that you have the faith of<\/p>\n
647
\n00:30:46,800 –> 00:30:51,300
\nJesus Christ, the lord of glory
\nand then decide who you want to <\/p>\n
648
\n00:30:51,308 –> 00:30:53,900
\nlet that Glory China Sea, we
\ncan’t do that. <\/p>\n
649
\n00:30:53,900 –> 00:30:56,900
\nThat’s that’s God’s choice, not
\nours and that may be why he <\/p>\n
650
\n00:30:56,900 –> 00:31:00,200
\nbrings it up in this chapter and
\nit looking back at that issue of<\/p>\n
651
\n00:31:00,200 –> 00:31:02,100
\nthe Father of Lights, like the
\nstars. <\/p>\n
652
\n00:31:02,500 –> 00:31:05,700
\nSo favoritism, when you look at
\nhow this works, this whole first<\/p>\n
653
\n00:31:05,700 –> 00:31:09,200
\nsection in Chapter 2, verses 1
\nall the way down to 13 really is<\/p>\n
654
\n00:31:09,200 –> 00:31:12,400
\nconnected with this issue.
\nOf favoritism favoritism are <\/p>\n
655
\n00:31:12,400 –> 00:31:14,300
\npartiality.
\nIt’s based on outward <\/p>\n
656
\n00:31:14,300 –> 00:31:17,000
\nappearance.
\nWe find some external thing <\/p>\n
657
\n00:31:17,000 –> 00:31:19,600
\nabout our brothers and sisters
\nor our family members or our <\/p>\n
658
\n00:31:19,600 –> 00:31:22,900
\nparents, or our children, that
\nmakes us make decisions about <\/p>\n
659
\n00:31:22,900 –> 00:31:25,500
\nwhether or not, they’re really,
\nreally legitimate members of the<\/p>\n
660
\n00:31:25,500 –> 00:31:27,900
\nEcclesia are members of the
\nfamily of God. <\/p>\n
661
\n00:31:28,200 –> 00:31:31,100
\nAnd then, what we do, you see in
\nour little Minds, what we do is <\/p>\n
662
\n00:31:31,100 –> 00:31:35,100
\nwe spay, we pay special, special
\nattention to the ones who fit <\/p>\n
663
\n00:31:35,100 –> 00:31:37,700
\nour categories.
\nYou see, we give them extra <\/p>\n
664
\n00:31:37,700 –> 00:31:40,700
\nspecial attention, and for the
\npeople that don’t, we sort of <\/p>\n
665
\n00:31:40,700 –> 00:31:43,600
\nsubtly, it was just still
\npretend, they’re not there, or <\/p>\n
666
\n00:31:43,600 –> 00:31:46,600
\nwe sort of give them The
\nLeftovers kind of thing. <\/p>\n
667
\n00:31:46,700 –> 00:31:48,900
\nNow, you know, we may not
\nrealize that we’re doing that <\/p>\n
668
\n00:31:48,900 –> 00:31:51,500
\nsometimes, but if you think
\nabout it in a collegial life, I <\/p>\n
669
\n00:31:51,508 –> 00:31:53,200
\nthink most of us with human
\nnature. <\/p>\n
670
\n00:31:53,400 –> 00:31:56,400
\nIn our families.
\nWe do we have mechanisms that <\/p>\n
671
\n00:31:56,400 –> 00:32:00,500
\nhave been set up where we have
\nour favorites, our fave five, <\/p>\n
672
\n00:32:00,500 –> 00:32:03,800
\nyou see that on our little
\nocclusal phone and that’s what <\/p>\n
673
\n00:32:03,800 –> 00:32:06,300
\nwe do.
\nAnd our problem is, when we <\/p>\n
674
\n00:32:06,300 –> 00:32:10,100
\nestablish that we established on
\nthe basis of what we like, what <\/p>\n
675
\n00:32:10,100 –> 00:32:13,100
\nwe Rank and all that kind of
\nthing, not on the basis of who’s<\/p>\n
676
\n00:32:13,100 –> 00:32:14,900
\nreally, a member of the family
\nof God. <\/p>\n
677
\n00:32:15,100 –> 00:32:17,300
\nDoes God?
\nLook at them and what James is <\/p>\n
678
\n00:32:17,300 –> 00:32:20,100
\ntrying to get them do is get out
\nof the box for a minute and <\/p>\n
679
\n00:32:20,100 –> 00:32:23,100
\nrealize, God loves them all.
\nThere are no fave fives. <\/p>\n
680
\n00:32:23,100 –> 00:32:25,600
\nThere are no special cases in a
\ncollegial life. <\/p>\n
681
\n00:32:25,700 –> 00:32:28,900
\nThere is nobody up here and
\nsomebody down there, they’re all<\/p>\n
682
\n00:32:28,900 –> 00:32:32,400
\nmembers of the family of God and
\nwe have to treat them that way. <\/p>\n
683
\n00:32:32,600 –> 00:32:34,500
\nWe can’t give special seats to
\npeople. <\/p>\n
684
\n00:32:34,500 –> 00:32:36,500
\nWe can’t give them special
\ntreatment. <\/p>\n
685
\n00:32:36,500 –> 00:32:38,600
\nI mean that’s that’s what he’s
\nreally after. <\/p>\n
686
\n00:32:38,600 –> 00:32:41,900
\nIt’s not a good idea to do that
\nand a collegial life. <\/p>\n
687
\n00:32:42,000 –> 00:32:44,600
\nIf anything you know you want to
\ntry try to help the ones who <\/p>\n
688
\n00:32:44,600 –> 00:32:48,100
\nhave the Greatest needs not to
\njust bend over and backwards and<\/p>\n
689
\n00:32:48,100 –> 00:32:51,600
\nhelp the people at already
\nalready had the needs satisfied.<\/p>\n
690
\n00:32:51,800 –> 00:32:54,300
\nAnd what James says about this
\nwhole concept of paying <\/p>\n
691
\n00:32:54,300 –> 00:32:56,000
\nattention to you?
\nNo, he what he does. <\/p>\n
692
\n00:32:56,000 –> 00:32:58,800
\nHe says, look the man in verse
\n2, he comes into your assembly <\/p>\n
693
\n00:32:58,900 –> 00:33:01,800
\nand he’s got the gold rings and
\nthe fine apparel and he comes <\/p>\n
694
\n00:33:01,800 –> 00:33:03,200
\nin.
\nThen there’s the poor man in the<\/p>\n
695
\n00:33:03,200 –> 00:33:05,100
\nfilthy clothes.
\nWe were just having this <\/p>\n
696
\n00:33:05,100 –> 00:33:07,200
\ndiscussion at breakfast over
\nthere, this morning about <\/p>\n
697
\n00:33:07,200 –> 00:33:10,400
\nwhether or not close matter.
\nYou see in a collegial life and <\/p>\n
698
\n00:33:10,400 –> 00:33:14,000
\nsee christadelphians are good at
\nputting a real emphasis on the <\/p>\n
699
\n00:33:14,000 –> 00:33:16,200
\nclothes.
\nBig on that. <\/p>\n
700
\n00:33:16,400 –> 00:33:20,000
\nBut if you had been alive in
\nJames’s Ecclesia at this time <\/p>\n
701
\n00:33:20,000 –> 00:33:23,000
\nand you were a member of the
\nfamily of God back here, this <\/p>\n
702
\n00:33:23,000 –> 00:33:26,100
\nthis is a problem back then too.
\nAnd the tendency is to look at <\/p>\n
703
\n00:33:26,100 –> 00:33:28,600
\npeople coming in the doors, look
\nat how they’re dressed and make <\/p>\n
704
\n00:33:28,600 –> 00:33:31,400
\na decision about them and we
\ncan’t do that brothers and <\/p>\n
705
\n00:33:31,400 –> 00:33:35,100
\nsisters or young people.
\nWe have no idea how God views <\/p>\n
706
\n00:33:35,100 –> 00:33:37,400
\nthat person.
\nWe don’t know that based on <\/p>\n
707
\n00:33:37,400 –> 00:33:40,300
\ntheir clothes, we don’t know
\ntheir economic situation and <\/p>\n
708
\n00:33:40,300 –> 00:33:42,700
\nwhat they’re really doing.
\nYou don’t know that about a <\/p>\n
709
\n00:33:42,708 –> 00:33:46,200
\nperson and God doesn’t care
\nabout the Close like we do. <\/p>\n
710
\n00:33:46,400 –> 00:33:50,500
\nHe looks upon the heart now.
\nThat doesn’t mean we purposely <\/p>\n
711
\n00:33:50,500 –> 00:33:53,200
\ndress up in rags.
\nThat’s not what I’m getting at. <\/p>\n
712
\n00:33:53,300 –> 00:33:56,700
\nWhat we got to do is put the
\nblinders on and quit, looking at<\/p>\n
713
\n00:33:56,700 –> 00:33:59,900
\nthe externals.
\nDon’t judge people by the cars. <\/p>\n
714
\n00:33:59,900 –> 00:34:03,500
\nThey drive by the clothes, they
\nwear and all those externals. <\/p>\n
715
\n00:34:03,800 –> 00:34:08,500
\nWe if we do that we will become
\nas he says here at the end of <\/p>\n
716
\n00:34:08,500 –> 00:34:11,900
\nverse 4, he says look you’ve
\nshown partiality, amongst <\/p>\n
717
\n00:34:11,900 –> 00:34:17,100
\nyourselves and you become judges
\nwith evil I thought that’s not <\/p>\n
718
\n00:34:17,199 –> 00:34:19,300
\njudges of evil thoughts.
\nYou see. <\/p>\n
719
\n00:34:19,500 –> 00:34:23,300
\nIt’s judges with evil thoughts.
\nMost of the modern versions fix <\/p>\n
720
\n00:34:23,300 –> 00:34:25,400
\nthat up.
\nYou’ve got evil thoughts in your<\/p>\n
721
\n00:34:25,400 –> 00:34:27,500
\nhead.
\nYou’re not like God, you’re not <\/p>\n
722
\n00:34:27,500 –> 00:34:30,300
\nlike one of God’s children
\nyou’re judging people on the <\/p>\n
723
\n00:34:30,300 –> 00:34:33,000
\nbasis of external appearance
\nnow. <\/p>\n
724
\n00:34:33,000 –> 00:34:36,699
\nAnd I was the issue with Saul
\nand David When God says you know<\/p>\n
725
\n00:34:36,699 –> 00:34:39,699
\nGod could I wouldn’t win.
\nSingle said God doesn’t look on <\/p>\n
726
\n00:34:39,699 –> 00:34:43,400
\nthe outward appearance.
\nHe looks on the heart and we <\/p>\n
727
\n00:34:43,400 –> 00:34:46,600
\nread the passages Brothers.
\nAnd sisters but we read them. <\/p>\n
728
\n00:34:46,600 –> 00:34:48,400
\nWe look in the mirror and we
\nwalk away. <\/p>\n
729
\n00:34:48,400 –> 00:34:50,699
\nAnd in five minutes we forget
\nthem and then we go back to <\/p>\n
730
\n00:34:50,699 –> 00:34:54,000
\nshowing partiality.
\nWe can’t do that, not not if <\/p>\n
731
\n00:34:54,000 –> 00:34:56,000
\nwe’re really children of God,
\nthat’s an issue. <\/p>\n
732
\n00:34:56,000 –> 00:34:58,000
\nWe got to work on and we got a
\nvalue. <\/p>\n
733
\n00:34:58,000 –> 00:35:02,100
\nWhat every person brings to the
\nEcclesia and sometimes those <\/p>\n
734
\n00:35:02,100 –> 00:35:04,400
\npeople that don’t dress the way
\nthat we think they ought to <\/p>\n
735
\n00:35:04,408 –> 00:35:07,200
\ndress.
\nSometimes those are the people <\/p>\n
736
\n00:35:07,400 –> 00:35:11,400
\nthat have the greatest care and
\nthey see the greatest way of <\/p>\n
737
\n00:35:11,400 –> 00:35:13,300
\nempathy and sympathy to other
\npeople. <\/p>\n
738
\n00:35:13,500 –> 00:35:16,600
\nAnd they can reach out to People
\nthat those of us that are <\/p>\n
739
\n00:35:16,607 –> 00:35:19,600
\ndressed up in our suits and our
\nfancy clothes, we can’t reach <\/p>\n
740
\n00:35:19,600 –> 00:35:23,600
\nthem and those other people can
\nand it’s important to realize <\/p>\n
741
\n00:35:23,600 –> 00:35:26,300
\nthat brothers and sisters, and
\nnot worry so much about that, <\/p>\n
742
\n00:35:26,300 –> 00:35:29,000
\nexternal appearance.
\nAnd I want to make sure you’re <\/p>\n
743
\n00:35:29,000 –> 00:35:30,100
\nreal.
\nI’m not saying everybody just <\/p>\n
744
\n00:35:30,100 –> 00:35:32,500
\ngoes home and down dresses or we
\nall show up in our eggs. <\/p>\n
745
\n00:35:32,500 –> 00:35:34,300
\nTomorrow that’s that’s not what
\nI’m after. <\/p>\n
746
\n00:35:34,500 –> 00:35:38,200
\nI’m just saying, let’s not let
\nthat become such a big issue and<\/p>\n
747
\n00:35:38,200 –> 00:35:40,600
\npersonally don’t let that become
\nthe basis. <\/p>\n
748
\n00:35:40,600 –> 00:35:43,400
\nUpon what I look at.
\nOther people and make decisions <\/p>\n
749
\n00:35:43,400 –> 00:35:46,600
\nabout whether they’re really
\nGod’s children, we can’t do <\/p>\n
750
\n00:35:46,600 –> 00:35:49,200
\nthat.
\nThat showing partiality, that’s <\/p>\n
751
\n00:35:49,200 –> 00:35:52,700
\njudging with evil thoughts and
\nboy, if nothing else. <\/p>\n
752
\n00:35:52,700 –> 00:35:54,300
\nThat’s an area, we can all work
\non. <\/p>\n
753
\n00:35:54,500 –> 00:35:56,900
\nSee that’s why I say James’s.
\nLetter could have been written. <\/p>\n
754
\n00:35:56,900 –> 00:36:00,300
\nLast week, we have the same
\nproblems today that James was <\/p>\n
755
\n00:36:00,300 –> 00:36:03,400
\ndealing with back.
\nThen you see God doesn’t show <\/p>\n
756
\n00:36:03,400 –> 00:36:06,600
\nthose kind of favoritism God
\nlooked at people through all <\/p>\n
757
\n00:36:06,600 –> 00:36:10,000
\ndifferent ages who had all
\ndifferent forms of life, and <\/p>\n
758
\n00:36:10,000 –> 00:36:12,800
\ntheir dress and everything and
\nGod was willing to take them <\/p>\n
759
\n00:36:12,800 –> 00:36:16,100
\nall, take them all, no matter.
\nHow they dressed in their in <\/p>\n
760
\n00:36:16,100 –> 00:36:19,100
\ntheir day and age and whatever
\nthey had, he wanted people that <\/p>\n
761
\n00:36:19,100 –> 00:36:21,500
\nwanted to live like him and
\nvalued his family. <\/p>\n
762
\n00:36:21,700 –> 00:36:24,300
\nAnd if you showed up in robes
\nand you had bare feet, that was <\/p>\n
763
\n00:36:24,300 –> 00:36:28,600
\nokay and gods family because you
\ncame and and that’s that’s the <\/p>\n
764
\n00:36:28,600 –> 00:36:31,200
\nway God dealt with people.
\nAll through the years, he never <\/p>\n
765
\n00:36:31,200 –> 00:36:34,700
\nset a dress standard in the
\nBible and there’s a good reason <\/p>\n
766
\n00:36:34,700 –> 00:36:36,500
\nfor that.
\nBecause we’d all look at that <\/p>\n
767
\n00:36:36,500 –> 00:36:38,300
\nand say, well, there it is,
\nthere’s what we got to do and <\/p>\n
768
\n00:36:38,300 –> 00:36:41,400
\neverybody who comes in as to be
\nlike that, and he doesn’t do <\/p>\n
769
\n00:36:41,400 –> 00:36:44,800
\nthat because he’s so bigger than
\nthat, and he’s trying to reach. <\/p>\n
770
\n00:36:44,900 –> 00:36:47,100
\nShout out to all the different
\ncultures, all the different <\/p>\n
771
\n00:36:47,100 –> 00:36:49,800
\ngroups of this world and he
\nwants to keep that door open for<\/p>\n
772
\n00:36:49,800 –> 00:36:52,500
\neverybody.
\nAnd to do that over thousands of<\/p>\n
773
\n00:36:52,500 –> 00:36:54,100
\nyears.
\nYou can’t set that kind of <\/p>\n
774
\n00:36:54,100 –> 00:36:57,100
\nstandard and we can’t either.
\nWe’ve got to be much more <\/p>\n
775
\n00:36:57,100 –> 00:36:59,500
\nflexible.
\nHe’s the Father of Lights. <\/p>\n
776
\n00:36:59,500 –> 00:37:01,800
\nYou see, there’s no Shadow due
\nto Turning with him. <\/p>\n
777
\n00:37:01,900 –> 00:37:04,500
\nHe just keeps shining it out on
\neverybody. <\/p>\n
778
\n00:37:04,500 –> 00:37:08,000
\nHe sends his rain on the just
\nand the unjust in Timothy. <\/p>\n
779
\n00:37:08,000 –> 00:37:11,200
\nIt says he desires all men to be
\nsaved, you know, we quote that <\/p>\n
780
\n00:37:11,200 –> 00:37:14,000
\npassage, I remember using it.
\nBible passage for years is <\/p>\n
781
\n00:37:14,000 –> 00:37:16,500
\narrested scripture.
\nAnd I’ve used that to fight the <\/p>\n
782
\n00:37:16,508 –> 00:37:19,200
\nTrinity and think there it is.
\nFirst Timothy, you know to and <\/p>\n
783
\n00:37:19,200 –> 00:37:21,200
\nfor God, desires all men to be
\nsaved. <\/p>\n
784
\n00:37:21,300 –> 00:37:24,300
\nAnd then in chapter in verse in
\nverse 2, it says there’s one <\/p>\n
785
\n00:37:24,300 –> 00:37:26,700
\nmediator, there’s one God.
\nAnd one mediator between God and<\/p>\n
786
\n00:37:26,700 –> 00:37:30,000
\nMen, the man Jesus Christ and we
\nuse that as a rested scripture <\/p>\n
787
\n00:37:30,000 –> 00:37:32,500
\nto defeat the Trinity.
\nYou know, it took me years and <\/p>\n
788
\n00:37:32,500 –> 00:37:35,600
\nyears to my embarrassment to
\nrealize what that Bible verse <\/p>\n
789
\n00:37:35,600 –> 00:37:38,500
\nwas actually tried to tell us.
\nThat’s not a Bible verse in <\/p>\n
790
\n00:37:38,500 –> 00:37:41,900
\nthere to tell you that there’s
\nno Trinity what Paul was at <\/p>\n
791
\n00:37:41,900 –> 00:37:44,400
\npains to get.
\nThe Timothy is his same old <\/p>\n
792
\n00:37:44,400 –> 00:37:46,200
\nissue.
\nWe’re Going at here in James, is<\/p>\n
793
\n00:37:46,200 –> 00:37:48,700
\nthat our God does not show
\nfavoritism. <\/p>\n
794
\n00:37:49,000 –> 00:37:52,900
\nThere is no God of the Jews and
\na god of the Gentiles. <\/p>\n
795
\n00:37:53,400 –> 00:37:55,400
\nThere’s no God of some
\nchristadelphians. <\/p>\n
796
\n00:37:55,400 –> 00:37:57,400
\nAnd another God of other
\nchristadelphians. <\/p>\n
797
\n00:37:57,700 –> 00:38:01,600
\nThere is one God.
\nAnd there’s one mediator between<\/p>\n
798
\n00:38:01,600 –> 00:38:04,200
\nGod and Men.
\nWe’re supposed to all be looking<\/p>\n
799
\n00:38:04,200 –> 00:38:07,400
\nat the same God, he’s the one
\nGod of all, it was supposed to <\/p>\n
800
\n00:38:07,400 –> 00:38:10,300
\nbring unity in the Ecclesia.
\nThat’s what Paul’s fighting for.<\/p>\n
801
\n00:38:10,600 –> 00:38:14,700
\nThere is only one God, we don’t
\neach group have our own God, the<\/p>\n
802
\n00:38:14,700 –> 00:38:18,300
\nonly One and there’s one
\nmediator and were all United in <\/p>\n
803
\n00:38:18,300 –> 00:38:22,200
\nhim and Paul brings it up twice
\nand in the concept of unity not <\/p>\n
804
\n00:38:22,200 –> 00:38:24,900
\nnot about although we use it
\nagainst the trinitarian today <\/p>\n
805
\n00:38:24,900 –> 00:38:27,700
\nthat really isn’t what it was
\nabout or are you see all over <\/p>\n
806
\n00:38:27,700 –> 00:38:31,000
\nPaul’s writings that this issue
\na partiality it comes up in X <\/p>\n
807
\n00:38:31,000 –> 00:38:33,900
\nand Romans and Ephesians and
\nColossians and also in Peters <\/p>\n
808
\n00:38:33,900 –> 00:38:37,300
\nwritings as well.
\nSo there’s this this problem of <\/p>\n
809
\n00:38:37,300 –> 00:38:40,200
\npartiality has been a human
\nissue all along and it’s one of <\/p>\n
810
\n00:38:40,200 –> 00:38:42,000
\nthose issues we can work on
\ntoday. <\/p>\n
811
\n00:38:42,800 –> 00:38:44,500
\nYou look at what he says to
\ncounter this. <\/p>\n
812
\n00:38:44,900 –> 00:38:48,300
\nAnd what James says here, he
\nsays look hasn’t God right <\/p>\n
813
\n00:38:48,300 –> 00:38:50,700
\nthere.
\nIn verse 5, has God not chosen <\/p>\n
814
\n00:38:50,700 –> 00:38:53,800
\nthe poor of this world to be
\nrich in faith and Heirs of the <\/p>\n
815
\n00:38:53,800 –> 00:38:55,600
\nKingdom, which he promised to
\nthose who love him. <\/p>\n
816
\n00:38:55,900 –> 00:38:59,200
\nThat’s what God’s done.
\nHe chose the poor, they’re part <\/p>\n
817
\n00:38:59,200 –> 00:39:02,900
\nof his family because they’re
\nrich in faith and their Heirs of<\/p>\n
818
\n00:39:02,900 –> 00:39:05,300
\nthat Kingdom.
\nYou can’t look at those people <\/p>\n
819
\n00:39:05,300 –> 00:39:08,800
\nand say they’re not part of
\nGod’s family, he chose them <\/p>\n
820
\n00:39:09,200 –> 00:39:11,800
\nunderlie that has not God.
\nChosen. <\/p>\n
821
\n00:39:11,900 –> 00:39:14,700
\nThat’s not maybe what you would
\nhave chose or what I would have <\/p>\n
822
\n00:39:14,700 –> 00:39:17,400
\nchosen.
\nThose but God chose them and <\/p>\n
823
\n00:39:17,400 –> 00:39:20,800
\nthat’s why we can’t show
\npartiality God picked them <\/p>\n
824
\n00:39:20,900 –> 00:39:23,500
\nbecause they’re rich in faith,
\nand they’re going to be Heirs of<\/p>\n
825
\n00:39:23,500 –> 00:39:27,000
\nthe Kingdom, which he promised
\nto those who love him. <\/p>\n
826
\n00:39:27,200 –> 00:39:29,600
\nAnd that’s the aspect that we
\ndon’t know about people. <\/p>\n
827
\n00:39:29,600 –> 00:39:32,000
\nWe just don’t know.
\nAnd he says, look at the <\/p>\n
828
\n00:39:32,000 –> 00:39:34,700
\nbehavior of the rich.
\nThese people, it probably what <\/p>\n
829
\n00:39:34,700 –> 00:39:36,200
\nhappened in the occlusal life is
\nthis. <\/p>\n
830
\n00:39:36,200 –> 00:39:38,800
\nThe rich people had their rich
\nfriends, and their Rich, Jewish <\/p>\n
831
\n00:39:38,800 –> 00:39:40,900
\nfriends, and they’d bring some
\nof the men and their meetings, <\/p>\n
832
\n00:39:41,000 –> 00:39:42,600
\npeople from the synagogues and
\neverything. <\/p>\n
833
\n00:39:42,600 –> 00:39:44,700
\nAnd so, there was quite a
\nmixture of the rich. <\/p>\n
834
\n00:39:45,100 –> 00:39:48,300
\nAnd he says look how can you
\npossibly take the rich person <\/p>\n
835
\n00:39:48,300 –> 00:39:49,800
\nwho walks in the door back
\nthere? <\/p>\n
836
\n00:39:49,800 –> 00:39:52,600
\nWho’s a friend of this Richford?
\nThey come into your Ecclesia? <\/p>\n
837
\n00:39:52,600 –> 00:39:55,500
\nHe oh, come on up here and you
\ngive them the best seats. <\/p>\n
838
\n00:39:55,600 –> 00:39:57,600
\nAnd you’ve just given just all
\nover them. <\/p>\n
839
\n00:39:57,600 –> 00:40:00,400
\nYou’re just like, trying to keep
\nthem happy because they’re rich <\/p>\n
840
\n00:40:00,400 –> 00:40:02,100
\nand they have money.
\nHe Paul says, look there. <\/p>\n
841
\n00:40:02,100 –> 00:40:05,200
\nPeter James says, look, aren’t
\nthey the ones that are <\/p>\n
842
\n00:40:05,200 –> 00:40:06,400
\noppressing?
\nThe Believers? <\/p>\n
843
\n00:40:06,700 –> 00:40:09,700
\nThose are the ones that drag you
\ninto court and they blaspheme <\/p>\n
844
\n00:40:09,700 –> 00:40:12,000
\nthe lord’s name.
\nHow in the world? <\/p>\n
845
\n00:40:12,000 –> 00:40:14,400
\nCan we take those people and
\nshow favoritism to them? <\/p>\n
846
\n00:40:14,900 –> 00:40:17,100
\nThat’s maybe an extreme case.
\nBut this is what they were <\/p>\n
847
\n00:40:17,100 –> 00:40:19,800
\nliving with.
\nThe rich Jews were doing that to<\/p>\n
848
\n00:40:19,800 –> 00:40:22,800
\ntheir Jewish community and they
\nwere actually picking on each <\/p>\n
849
\n00:40:22,800 –> 00:40:25,600
\nother there.
\nSo what James does next is he <\/p>\n
850
\n00:40:25,600 –> 00:40:27,300
\nrealizes?
\nHe says, look deep people. <\/p>\n
851
\n00:40:27,300 –> 00:40:29,000
\nThey know their Bibles.
\nI know what they’re going to <\/p>\n
852
\n00:40:29,000 –> 00:40:32,100
\nthink that he knows the Jewish
\nmind the same way that Paul does<\/p>\n
853
\n00:40:32,100 –> 00:40:34,600
\nwhen he writes his letters.
\nSo he anticipates what they’re <\/p>\n
854
\n00:40:34,600 –> 00:40:36,900
\ngoing to think?
\nHe said he goes on in this <\/p>\n
855
\n00:40:36,900 –> 00:40:40,600
\nmilitant next section, there in
\nverse 18, if you are verse 8, if<\/p>\n
856
\n00:40:40,600 –> 00:40:43,500
\nyou really fulfill the Royal
\nlaw, according to the scripture,<\/p>\n
857
\n00:40:43,600 –> 00:40:46,600
\nyou shall love your neighbor.
\nNeighbor as yourself you do well<\/p>\n
858
\n00:40:46,900 –> 00:40:50,100
\nbecause he knew what they would
\nbe thinking is well look James <\/p>\n
859
\n00:40:50,200 –> 00:40:53,300
\nback in Leviticus 19, it says
\nyou shall love your neighbor as <\/p>\n
860
\n00:40:53,300 –> 00:40:56,300
\nyourself and those rich people
\nyou see there my neighbor. <\/p>\n
861
\n00:40:56,600 –> 00:40:59,300
\nSo those are the ones I’m going
\nto love them as myself. <\/p>\n
862
\n00:40:59,300 –> 00:41:00,900
\nI’m going to give them the best
\nseats. <\/p>\n
863
\n00:41:00,900 –> 00:41:02,400
\nI’m going to take good care of
\nthem. <\/p>\n
864
\n00:41:02,700 –> 00:41:06,100
\nAnd so James says, look if you
\nreally did that if that’s really<\/p>\n
865
\n00:41:06,100 –> 00:41:10,200
\nwhat you’re thinking that you do
\nwell, but if you show <\/p>\n
866
\n00:41:10,200 –> 00:41:13,000
\npartiality, while you’re doing
\nthat, if you visit to one <\/p>\n
867
\n00:41:13,000 –> 00:41:14,700
\nneighbor and you don’t do it to
\nthe other one. <\/p>\n
868
\n00:41:15,100 –> 00:41:18,000
\nThen you commit sin and you’re
\nconvicted by the law as <\/p>\n
869
\n00:41:18,000 –> 00:41:20,400
\ntransgressors.
\nThe see, that’s the beauty of <\/p>\n
870
\n00:41:20,400 –> 00:41:22,300
\nJames.
\nHe lays it all out on the table <\/p>\n
871
\n00:41:22,300 –> 00:41:23,600
\nand he knows what they’re
\nthinking. <\/p>\n
872
\n00:41:23,800 –> 00:41:25,500
\nSo he says, I know what you’re
\ngoing to think on that. <\/p>\n
873
\n00:41:25,500 –> 00:41:26,700
\nYou’re going to think that
\nyou’re OK. <\/p>\n
874
\n00:41:26,700 –> 00:41:28,300
\nYou’re going to justify it with
\nyour Bible. <\/p>\n
875
\n00:41:28,300 –> 00:41:29,900
\nAs you’re going to get your
\nBibles out, look at the passages<\/p>\n
876
\n00:41:29,900 –> 00:41:32,400
\nand say, oh, it’s okay if I do
\nthis and James says, well, <\/p>\n
877
\n00:41:32,400 –> 00:41:34,300
\nthat’s if that’s the case.
\nThat’s great that you’re doing <\/p>\n
878
\n00:41:34,300 –> 00:41:37,600
\nit for those people, but if you
\nshow partiality while you’re <\/p>\n
879
\n00:41:37,600 –> 00:41:40,300
\ndoing it, oh boy, that’s a whole
\ndifferent thing. <\/p>\n
880
\n00:41:40,500 –> 00:41:43,200
\nIf you don’t do that for
\neverybody then you’re not really<\/p>\n
881
\n00:41:43,200 –> 00:41:45,500
\nloving your neighbor and that’s
\nthe same Isn’t that what <\/p>\n
882
\n00:41:45,500 –> 00:41:47,000
\nhappened when Jesus gave the
\nparable? <\/p>\n
883
\n00:41:47,200 –> 00:41:49,100
\nAnd the fellows will, who is my
\nneighbor? <\/p>\n
884
\n00:41:49,700 –> 00:41:52,800
\nAnd so right away we want to
\nshow partiality and about, who’s<\/p>\n
885
\n00:41:52,800 –> 00:41:55,400
\nthe neighbor, who is it?
\nIt’s just human nature. <\/p>\n
886
\n00:41:55,400 –> 00:41:58,100
\nThat’s the way we are brothers
\nand sisters and young people. <\/p>\n
887
\n00:41:58,300 –> 00:42:00,200
\nYoung people, you’re like that
\nas well too. <\/p>\n
888
\n00:42:00,300 –> 00:42:01,700
\nYeah, I watched the Visions in
\nthe young. <\/p>\n
889
\n00:42:01,700 –> 00:42:04,400
\nPeople certain select groups you
\nknow you like some groups that <\/p>\n
890
\n00:42:04,400 –> 00:42:06,400
\nare in other groups.
\nThis isn’t just something that <\/p>\n
891
\n00:42:06,400 –> 00:42:07,900
\ncomes on.
\nI believe it or not when you’re <\/p>\n
892
\n00:42:07,900 –> 00:42:10,200
\n25 years old or 30 or this is
\nmissing. <\/p>\n
893
\n00:42:10,200 –> 00:42:12,900
\nJust Mom and Dad’s problem.
\nI remember what it’s like when <\/p>\n
894
\n00:42:12,900 –> 00:42:14,000
\nyou’re young, I remember see
\nyou. <\/p>\n
895
\n00:42:14,000 –> 00:42:17,500
\nI see and watch Divisions that
\nwere there, all of us have this <\/p>\n
896
\n00:42:17,500 –> 00:42:20,400
\nproblem.
\nThis tendency to show favoritism<\/p>\n
897
\n00:42:20,400 –> 00:42:23,000
\nto certain groups of people,
\nwhatever it is, that we use, is <\/p>\n
898
\n00:42:23,000 –> 00:42:24,900
\nare dividing line.
\nAnd whoever it is, we set up <\/p>\n
899
\n00:42:24,900 –> 00:42:27,400
\nwith our standards.
\nWe’re very good at showing <\/p>\n
900
\n00:42:27,400 –> 00:42:30,700
\npartiality and not giving
\neverybody the same treatment and<\/p>\n
901
\n00:42:30,700 –> 00:42:33,700
\nthe benefit of the doubt and
\nwhat ends up happening is he <\/p>\n
902
\n00:42:33,700 –> 00:42:36,400
\nsays you become judges with evil
\nthoughts. <\/p>\n
903
\n00:42:36,800 –> 00:42:40,100
\nSo what James doesn’t is he
\ntakes the Jewish thinking right <\/p>\n
904
\n00:42:40,100 –> 00:42:40,500
\nhere.
\nHe says. <\/p>\n
905
\n00:42:40,500 –> 00:42:43,400
\nAll right, if you really did
\nthat, then if you want to go <\/p>\n
906
\n00:42:43,400 –> 00:42:45,800
\nback to that law and you think
\nYou’re loving your neighbor as <\/p>\n
907
\n00:42:45,800 –> 00:42:48,600
\nyourself and be, if you’re
\nshowing partiality, then you <\/p>\n
908
\n00:42:48,600 –> 00:42:52,400
\ncommit sin because you can’t
\njust aim at certain laws and <\/p>\n
909
\n00:42:52,400 –> 00:42:53,700
\nsay, well, I’ll keep this that
\nout. <\/p>\n
910
\n00:42:53,700 –> 00:42:56,500
\nKeep this, I’ll keep this and
\nyou leave all the rest of them <\/p>\n
911
\n00:42:56,500 –> 00:42:58,800
\nout.
\nSo what do you then does is <\/p>\n
912
\n00:42:58,800 –> 00:43:01,400
\nhe’ll go back and look at that?
\nI think we’ll skip the section. <\/p>\n
913
\n00:43:01,400 –> 00:43:03,300
\nLeviticus 19.
\nActually, if you get a chance at<\/p>\n
914
\n00:43:03,300 –> 00:43:05,900
\nsome point to go back and look
\nat where that came from, it is <\/p>\n
915
\n00:43:05,900 –> 00:43:10,100
\nfun to see that only three
\nverses earlier in Leviticus 19 <\/p>\n
916
\n00:43:10,100 –> 00:43:12,100
\nwhere it said, You shall love
\nyour neighbor as yourself, <\/p>\n
917
\n00:43:12,400 –> 00:43:14,700
\nright?
\nIn that same section, you know, <\/p>\n
918
\n00:43:14,900 –> 00:43:18,300
\nGod put right in there for us
\nthat you shall not do Injustice <\/p>\n
919
\n00:43:18,300 –> 00:43:20,700
\nand judgment.
\nYou shall not be partial to the <\/p>\n
920
\n00:43:20,700 –> 00:43:23,900
\npoor nor honor the person of the
\nmighty in righteousness. <\/p>\n
921
\n00:43:23,900 –> 00:43:27,600
\nYou shall judge your neighbor
\nbecause that was a problem and <\/p>\n
922
\n00:43:27,600 –> 00:43:30,800
\nsee God was so balanced in
\nLeviticus 19. <\/p>\n
923
\n00:43:30,800 –> 00:43:34,100
\nHe said, look those of you that
\nhave sympathetic Tendencies and <\/p>\n
924
\n00:43:34,100 –> 00:43:36,500
\nyou want to like give the poor,
\nthe benefit of the doubt and <\/p>\n
925
\n00:43:36,500 –> 00:43:40,100
\ntreat them better than the rich,
\nyou can’t do that either. <\/p>\n
926
\n00:43:40,300 –> 00:43:43,900
\nThis is a balance to the judges.
\nWhen they go to judge you have <\/p>\n
927
\n00:43:43,900 –> 00:43:45,800
\nto show, right?
\nAegis judgment. <\/p>\n
928
\n00:43:45,800 –> 00:43:47,800
\nSo, you know some of us are
\nbalanced One Way. <\/p>\n
929
\n00:43:47,800 –> 00:43:50,500
\nSome of us are more on the other
\nside but when God put it in <\/p>\n
930
\n00:43:50,500 –> 00:43:53,300
\nthere, he said, look, you’ve got
\nto be balanced on both sides. <\/p>\n
931
\n00:43:53,300 –> 00:43:55,200
\nYou can’t show either one of
\nthem. <\/p>\n
932
\n00:43:55,400 –> 00:43:59,200
\nPartiality, we have to be equal
\nin that judgment and take care <\/p>\n
933
\n00:43:59,200 –> 00:44:02,300
\nof both groups.
\nSo, the thinking of Judaism, <\/p>\n
934
\n00:44:02,300 –> 00:44:05,000
\nthen what that James is going to
\nanticipate right now, is look <\/p>\n
935
\n00:44:05,100 –> 00:44:07,900
\nthe laws, the way to earn
\nsalvation, as some of these Jews<\/p>\n
936
\n00:44:07,900 –> 00:44:09,600
\nthought they can’t keep the
\nwhole law. <\/p>\n
937
\n00:44:09,600 –> 00:44:13,200
\nSo what the Jews would do, what
\nPaul came to fight in Judaism. <\/p>\n
938
\n00:44:13,300 –> 00:44:16,300
\nWas that you rank the law?
\nYou know, some of us are the <\/p>\n
939
\n00:44:16,300 –> 00:44:18,500
\nsame way.
\nWe take God’s laws and we rank <\/p>\n
940
\n00:44:18,500 –> 00:44:21,400
\nthem, take the Ten Commandments
\nand do the same thing and we say<\/p>\n
941
\n00:44:21,400 –> 00:44:23,900
\nout of all those Commandments in
\nthe Bible, I’m going to try to <\/p>\n
942
\n00:44:23,900 –> 00:44:25,800
\ndo this one.
\nThis one, this one, this one and<\/p>\n
943
\n00:44:25,800 –> 00:44:28,900
\nwe rank them out, the ones that
\nprobably the easiest ones for me<\/p>\n
944
\n00:44:28,900 –> 00:44:30,200
\nto do.
\nThose are the ones I ranked the <\/p>\n
945
\n00:44:30,200 –> 00:44:32,800
\nhighest and then I try to follow
\nall those things. <\/p>\n
946
\n00:44:32,800 –> 00:44:35,900
\nAnd then when you fail on one of
\nthose things that I put up on my<\/p>\n
947
\n00:44:36,000 –> 00:44:39,100
\nmy top five that I look at you
\nand say, well, you’re failing, <\/p>\n
948
\n00:44:39,200 –> 00:44:41,600
\nyou see because you didn’t do
\nthat, you didn’t keep that one <\/p>\n
949
\n00:44:41,600 –> 00:44:44,400
\nup there and that’s one of the
\nbig ones and this is human <\/p>\n
950
\n00:44:44,400 –> 00:44:46,300
\nnature.
\nThis is the way we are. <\/p>\n
951
\n00:44:46,400 –> 00:44:50,200
\nWe all rank the laws by Nature.
\nWe want to put them up there and<\/p>\n
952
\n00:44:50,200 –> 00:44:53,100
\nsay, well, this is what God
\nreally wants out of us, we rank <\/p>\n
953
\n00:44:53,100 –> 00:44:56,300
\nthese laws like that and then
\nand if somebody else doesn’t <\/p>\n
954
\n00:44:56,300 –> 00:44:58,700
\nfollow those, you see then we
\njust figure. <\/p>\n
955
\n00:44:58,700 –> 00:45:02,800
\nWell, you know, they’re not
\nfollowing God’s laws must be <\/p>\n
956
\n00:45:02,800 –> 00:45:03,900
\nSpirit Week here.
\nYou know? <\/p>\n
957
\n00:45:03,900 –> 00:45:06,200
\nLike at school said, they have
\nthose Spirit weeks, you know, <\/p>\n
958
\n00:45:06,500 –> 00:45:08,400
\nevery time they happen to
\nschool, that’s what we figure. <\/p>\n
959
\n00:45:08,400 –> 00:45:12,300
\nIt’s a bank.
\nThat’s what I do mind is to keep<\/p>\n
960
\n00:45:12,300 –> 00:45:14,400
\none who’s come in and maybe
\nthat’s the Bell for lunch to <\/p>\n
961
\n00:45:14,400 –> 00:45:16,100
\nsee.
\nObviously got two minutes, it’s <\/p>\n
962
\n00:45:16,100 –> 00:45:17,700
\nclose, but that we’re getting
\nthere. <\/p>\n
963
\n00:45:17,700 –> 00:45:21,900
\nSo, yeah, anyways, that’s that’s
\na human weakness problem. <\/p>\n
964
\n00:45:22,400 –> 00:45:27,000
\nThanks Ed breaking those laws.
\nSo let’s go home this weekend <\/p>\n
965
\n00:45:27,000 –> 00:45:28,800
\nbeing careful.
\nThat were not one of those <\/p>\n
966
\n00:45:28,800 –> 00:45:33,200
\npeople that ranks the laws.
\nAnd we show partiality based on <\/p>\n
967
\n00:45:33,200 –> 00:45:36,700
\nhow we rank the laws, you know?
\nAnd the fact that can <\/p>\n
968
\n00:45:36,700 –> 00:45:39,200
\nDeuteronomy, you’ve got that
\npretty clear that cursed is the <\/p>\n
969
\n00:45:39,200 –> 00:45:41,500
\none who does not confirm all the
\nwords of the law and all the <\/p>\n
970
\n00:45:41,508 –> 00:45:42,800
\npeople shall say.
\nAmen. <\/p>\n
971
\n00:45:43,200 –> 00:45:44,800
\nYou know, Paul would deal with
\nthis later on. <\/p>\n
972
\n00:45:45,000 –> 00:45:49,000
\nNations 5 that he testified in
\nverse 3, there’s that everyone <\/p>\n
973
\n00:45:49,000 –> 00:45:51,600
\nwho become circumcised.
\nIf you want to go back to this <\/p>\n
974
\n00:45:51,600 –> 00:45:53,000
\nlaw, think that’s going to save
\nyou. <\/p>\n
975
\n00:45:53,200 –> 00:45:55,100
\nYou’re a debtor to keep the
\nwhole law. <\/p>\n
976
\n00:45:55,200 –> 00:45:57,500
\nSo if you think you’re going to
\nfollow the law like that by <\/p>\n
977
\n00:45:57,500 –> 00:46:00,400
\npicking and choosing James wants
\nto make it very clear to <\/p>\n
978
\n00:46:00,400 –> 00:46:03,000
\neverybody, you can’t pick and
\nchoose the laws. <\/p>\n
979
\n00:46:03,200 –> 00:46:05,700
\nYou can’t just say, I’m going to
\npick the rich people and show <\/p>\n
980
\n00:46:05,700 –> 00:46:08,900
\nkindness to them and leave the
\npoor people out when you do the <\/p>\n
981
\n00:46:08,900 –> 00:46:11,700
\nlaws and you can’t rank the
\nlaws, you have to try to keep <\/p>\n
982
\n00:46:11,700 –> 00:46:13,800
\nthem all.
\nSo he brings that up here in <\/p>\n
983
\n00:46:13,800 –> 00:46:16,000
\nthis section.
\nHe Says why bring you know when <\/p>\n
984
\n00:46:16,000 –> 00:46:18,500
\nyou look when you look at this
\nlittle section here verse 11, <\/p>\n
985
\n00:46:18,800 –> 00:46:21,900
\nyou see, he said, whoever in
\nverse 10 there, whoever shall <\/p>\n
986
\n00:46:21,900 –> 00:46:24,900
\nkeep the whole law.
\nAnd yet stumbles in one point <\/p>\n
987
\n00:46:24,900 –> 00:46:28,000
\nyou’re guilty of it all.
\nSo you can’t do that ranking <\/p>\n
988
\n00:46:28,000 –> 00:46:30,900
\nthing and think you’re okay
\nbecause that’s not the way it <\/p>\n
989
\n00:46:30,900 –> 00:46:32,500
\nworks.
\nIf you’re going to go back to <\/p>\n
990
\n00:46:32,508 –> 00:46:34,800
\nthat and think you’re keeping
\nthe law, you’ve got to try to <\/p>\n
991
\n00:46:34,800 –> 00:46:38,900
\nkeep it all and so he brings up
\nthe example now of adultery and <\/p>\n
992
\n00:46:38,900 –> 00:46:41,800
\nmurder and you know why bring
\nthose up other than the fact, <\/p>\n
993
\n00:46:41,800 –> 00:46:43,800
\nhe’s trying to remind them about
\nKing David. <\/p>\n
994
\n00:46:43,900 –> 00:46:47,000
\nBecause remember what, And with
\nDavid and that God knows the <\/p>\n
995
\n00:46:47,000 –> 00:46:49,000
\nthoughts and the intents of the
\nheart. <\/p>\n
996
\n00:46:49,200 –> 00:46:52,600
\nNow, when you look at this issue
\nof why he calls it, the Royal <\/p>\n
997
\n00:46:52,600 –> 00:46:56,300
\nlaw because he does.
\nHe think he uses a 12 Here Again<\/p>\n
998
\n00:46:56,300 –> 00:47:00,100
\nby The Law of Liberty but he
\nrefers here to the Royal law as <\/p>\n
999
\n00:47:00,100 –> 00:47:04,100
\nto why he calls it.
\nDebt, it may be because on those<\/p>\n
1000
\n00:47:04,100 –> 00:47:07,700
\ntwo Commandments you see on the
\nidea of the loving God and <\/p>\n
1001
\n00:47:07,700 –> 00:47:11,000
\nloving the neighbor that as
\nJesus made it very clear. <\/p>\n
1002
\n00:47:11,000 –> 00:47:15,000
\nThe whole law hangs on that.
\nSo I think in calling it The <\/p>\n
1003
\n00:47:15,000 –> 00:47:16,900
\nRoyal law.
\nHe’s like saying that though <\/p>\n
1004
\n00:47:16,900 –> 00:47:19,500
\nthese this is the whole broad
\naspect. <\/p>\n
1005
\n00:47:19,500 –> 00:47:22,200
\nIt’s just like Phil’s like like
\nThe Royal Concept of the <\/p>\n
1006
\n00:47:22,200 –> 00:47:24,600
\nkingdom.
\nAnd the top laws that are up <\/p>\n
1007
\n00:47:24,600 –> 00:47:29,000
\nthere, here are the top royal
\nlaws of God and the Royal law is<\/p>\n
1008
\n00:47:29,000 –> 00:47:31,500
\nthat you love your neighbor as
\nyourself and that you love the <\/p>\n
1009
\n00:47:31,500 –> 00:47:33,800
\nLord your God and it may be
\nthat. <\/p>\n
1010
\n00:47:33,800 –> 00:47:35,700
\nThat’s why James refers to it
\nthat way. <\/p>\n
1011
\n00:47:35,700 –> 00:47:39,600
\nBack in verse 8 if you really
\nfulfill the Royal law. <\/p>\n
1012
\n00:47:39,600 –> 00:47:42,900
\nAccording to the scripture, then
\nyou’re going to do all these <\/p>\n
1013
\n00:47:42,900 –> 00:47:44,800
\ndifferent things and you’re
\ngoing to show them without <\/p>\n
1014
\n00:47:44,900 –> 00:47:47,300
\nReality.
\nSo we got to be careful brother <\/p>\n
1015
\n00:47:47,300 –> 00:47:50,100
\nand sisters because here’s our
\nproblems today, we show <\/p>\n
1016
\n00:47:50,100 –> 00:47:53,100
\nfavoritism today based on way
\npeople dress, let’s face it. <\/p>\n
1017
\n00:47:53,100 –> 00:47:56,900
\nWe do that’s human nature to do
\nthat and that’s an area we got <\/p>\n
1018
\n00:47:56,900 –> 00:47:59,000
\nto work on.
\nWe look at the cars that people <\/p>\n
1019
\n00:47:59,000 –> 00:48:01,500
\ndrive somebody comes up in a
\nbeater car with think all, you <\/p>\n
1020
\n00:48:01,500 –> 00:48:03,500
\nknow, there’s just a beater car,
\nwhat are they? <\/p>\n
1021
\n00:48:03,600 –> 00:48:07,100
\nSomebody drives in and some nice
\ncar and already we’re making <\/p>\n
1022
\n00:48:07,100 –> 00:48:10,000
\ndecisions about the people
\nbefore we ever see him, get out <\/p>\n
1023
\n00:48:10,000 –> 00:48:13,200
\nof the car, just based on the
\nkind of car that they drive, we <\/p>\n
1024
\n00:48:13,200 –> 00:48:15,700
\nmake decisions about skin color.
\nAnd let’s face it. <\/p>\n
1025
\n00:48:15,700 –> 00:48:18,300
\nThat’s human nature and we got
\nto work on that. <\/p>\n
1026
\n00:48:18,300 –> 00:48:20,200
\nThat’s an area that we have to
\nwork on. <\/p>\n
1027
\n00:48:20,200 –> 00:48:22,900
\nThey have to fight the
\nTendencies to show favoritism. <\/p>\n
1028
\n00:48:23,100 –> 00:48:25,600
\nWe do it based on the country.
\nSomebody’s from, you know, they <\/p>\n
1029
\n00:48:25,600 –> 00:48:29,300
\naccept that they speak from the
\nEcclesia that they’re from the <\/p>\n
1030
\n00:48:29,300 –> 00:48:31,900
\nfamily name, that they might
\nhappen to have the amount of <\/p>\n
1031
\n00:48:31,900 –> 00:48:34,700
\nmoney that they have is we even
\ndo it with gender. <\/p>\n
1032
\n00:48:34,900 –> 00:48:39,000
\nWe have favoritism shown for
\nguys and girls based on gender <\/p>\n
1033
\n00:48:39,200 –> 00:48:41,200
\nand that there was an issue that
\nPaul had to deal with. <\/p>\n
1034
\n00:48:41,200 –> 00:48:44,700
\nNeither male nor female, you’re
\nall one in Christ, Jesus. <\/p>\n
1035
\n00:48:45,200 –> 00:48:48,200
\nWe do it based on somebody’s
\neducation, somebody has a degree<\/p>\n
1036
\n00:48:48,200 –> 00:48:50,600
\nin college and a masters and we
\nrank them up there and somebody <\/p>\n
1037
\n00:48:50,600 –> 00:48:52,600
\nelse just as a high school
\ndegree and we put them down <\/p>\n
1038
\n00:48:52,600 –> 00:48:55,500
\nthere and we don’t realize that
\nGod loves them both and they’re <\/p>\n
1039
\n00:48:55,500 –> 00:48:58,700
\nboth assets to the Ecclesia
\nbecause they bring strength in <\/p>\n
1040
\n00:48:58,700 –> 00:49:00,800
\ndifferent areas that one can see
\nthat. <\/p>\n
1041
\n00:49:00,800 –> 00:49:04,400
\nThe other can’t we do just, we
\ngot to fight the tendency to do <\/p>\n
1042
\n00:49:04,400 –> 00:49:07,400
\nthose rankings.
\nWe we show favoritism based on <\/p>\n
1043
\n00:49:07,400 –> 00:49:10,500
\npeople’s Age, based on the Bible
\nversion that they use. <\/p>\n
1044
\n00:49:10,500 –> 00:49:12,700
\nIf you don’t have the right
\nBible version, you see your <\/p>\n
1045
\n00:49:12,700 –> 00:49:16,100
\nreally your can’t read or, you
\nknow, you You’re not viewed as a<\/p>\n
1046
\n00:49:16,100 –> 00:49:18,300
\nlegitimate christadelphians or
\nsomething because you got the <\/p>\n
1047
\n00:49:18,300 –> 00:49:20,600
\nwrong version.
\nWe have folks in our community <\/p>\n
1048
\n00:49:20,600 –> 00:49:23,700
\nwho do that over the Yahweh name
\nand they think that boy don’t <\/p>\n
1049
\n00:49:23,700 –> 00:49:25,700
\nuse the Yahweh name or so he
\ndoes use it. <\/p>\n
1050
\n00:49:25,700 –> 00:49:28,100
\nWhat Yahweh.
\nIt works on both sides that <\/p>\n
1051
\n00:49:28,100 –> 00:49:31,600
\npeople treat that as a dividing
\nline and look at showing <\/p>\n
1052
\n00:49:31,600 –> 00:49:34,600
\nfavorites, we can’t be that way
\nbrothers and sisters. <\/p>\n
1053
\n00:49:34,600 –> 00:49:38,000
\nThat’s not godliness.
\nThat’s not single-mindedness, <\/p>\n
1054
\n00:49:38,200 –> 00:49:43,000
\nthat’s not like our God who does
\nnot show favoritism, he doesn’t <\/p>\n
1055
\n00:49:43,000 –> 00:49:46,700
\ndo that on these little issues.
\nWhat he shows favoritism towards<\/p>\n
1056
\n00:49:46,700 –> 00:49:50,600
\nis those who love him and those
\nwho love one another that’s <\/p>\n
1057
\n00:49:50,600 –> 00:49:53,800
\nGod’s Royal law.
\nThat’s the top thing that we <\/p>\n
1058
\n00:49:53,800 –> 00:49:56,800
\nhave to aim for not on these
\nother little issues that you <\/p>\n
1059
\n00:49:56,800 –> 00:50:00,400
\nknow, we tend to put as big
\nissues today so where he ends up<\/p>\n
1060
\n00:50:00,400 –> 00:50:02,800
\nat the end of verse 13 and maybe
\nwe’ll leave it at that and break<\/p>\n
1061
\n00:50:02,800 –> 00:50:08,100
\nfor lunch is that look verse 12?
\nHe said so speak and so do so <\/p>\n
1062
\n00:50:08,100 –> 00:50:09,800
\nnow he’s getting into the
\nPractical. <\/p>\n
1063
\n00:50:10,000 –> 00:50:13,100
\nSo when he leaves us he says now
\nwhat we want to do is when we <\/p>\n
1064
\n00:50:13,100 –> 00:50:16,600
\ntalk and we use our tongues, And
\nwhen we got there, we do things <\/p>\n
1065
\n00:50:16,600 –> 00:50:19,600
\nin our political life and we
\ntreat people the way we treat <\/p>\n
1066
\n00:50:19,600 –> 00:50:22,500
\nthem and we go to set people and
\nwe go to talk to people when <\/p>\n
1067
\n00:50:22,500 –> 00:50:23,500
\nyou’re to put them in their
\nseats. <\/p>\n
1068
\n00:50:23,800 –> 00:50:28,600
\nLet’s do it as those who we will
\nbe judged by the law of Liberty <\/p>\n
1069
\n00:50:28,900 –> 00:50:33,900
\nthe law of Liberty which has set
\nus free to serve one another not<\/p>\n
1070
\n00:50:33,900 –> 00:50:35,700
\nbased on the rankings of the
\nlaw. <\/p>\n
1071
\n00:50:35,700 –> 00:50:39,200
\nThe little rankings that we have
\nbut the law of Liberty brothers <\/p>\n
1072
\n00:50:39,200 –> 00:50:42,500
\nand sisters from which we all
\nbeen set free to serve one <\/p>\n
1073
\n00:50:42,500 –> 00:50:49,100
\nanother in love because Does
\nmercy triumphs over judgment if <\/p>\n
1074
\n00:50:49,100 –> 00:50:51,500
\nnothing else when we leave this
\nweekend brothers and sisters and<\/p>\n
1075
\n00:50:51,500 –> 00:50:54,100
\nyoung people?
\nLet’s keep that in mind because <\/p>\n
1076
\n00:50:54,100 –> 00:50:56,900
\nin our community we have those
\nwho have the tendency to swing <\/p>\n
1077
\n00:50:56,900 –> 00:50:59,400
\non the Judgment side.
\nWe have those who swing on the <\/p>\n
1078
\n00:50:59,408 –> 00:51:03,000
\nmerseyside and what the Apostle
\nPaul knew about human nature <\/p>\n
1079
\n00:51:03,000 –> 00:51:05,900
\nwith James here knew about human
\nnature and Paul does as well <\/p>\n
1080
\n00:51:05,900 –> 00:51:08,100
\nbecause Paul’s know different
\nlater on when he deals with the <\/p>\n
1081
\n00:51:08,107 –> 00:51:13,900
\nsame issue our tendency as human
\npeople is that we go towards the<\/p>\n
1082
\n00:51:13,900 –> 00:51:16,700
\nJudgment side.
\nThat’s the way we are by nature <\/p>\n
1083
\n00:51:16,700 –> 00:51:20,100
\nand you see it all the time.
\nWe’re just natural judges of one<\/p>\n
1084
\n00:51:20,100 –> 00:51:22,800
\nanother.
\nAnd so what we have to fight on <\/p>\n
1085
\n00:51:22,800 –> 00:51:25,600
\nthat brothers and sisters as we
\nhave to constantly be pushing <\/p>\n
1086
\n00:51:25,600 –> 00:51:28,200
\nourselves.
\nThe other way of giving people <\/p>\n
1087
\n00:51:28,200 –> 00:51:31,500
\nsome slack, cutting them, some
\nslack in life and realizing that<\/p>\n
1088
\n00:51:31,500 –> 00:51:34,200
\nthese issues that we’ve ranked
\nup there as being so big and <\/p>\n
1089
\n00:51:34,200 –> 00:51:36,800
\nhigh, maybe they’re really not
\nas important as we thought they <\/p>\n
1090
\n00:51:36,800 –> 00:51:38,500
\nwere.
\nAnd what really matters is <\/p>\n
1091
\n00:51:38,500 –> 00:51:41,800
\nwhether somebody loves God and
\nwhether they love their neighbor<\/p>\n
1092
\n00:51:41,800 –> 00:51:44,300
\nalso.
\nAnd so what we do then is we <\/p>\n
1093
\n00:51:44,300 –> 00:51:47,600
\nlearn to show Show Mercy to our
\nbrothers and sisters to our <\/p>\n
1094
\n00:51:47,600 –> 00:51:50,200
\nyoung people who may not have
\nbeen. <\/p>\n
1095
\n00:51:50,200 –> 00:51:54,000
\nOh follow the law like we think
\nour do the rankings as we think <\/p>\n
1096
\n00:51:54,000 –> 00:51:57,500
\nwe show them kindness and mercy
\nand we cut them some slack <\/p>\n
1097
\n00:51:57,600 –> 00:52:01,100
\nbecause in the end of Mercy,
\nwill triumphs over judgment. <\/p>\n
1098
\n00:52:01,600 –> 00:52:04,000
\nThat’s the thing.
\nWe have to aim for that South <\/p>\n
1099
\n00:52:04,000 –> 00:52:07,300
\nand the new King James puts it.
\nThat Mercy triumphs over. <\/p>\n
1100
\n00:52:07,300 –> 00:52:10,200
\nJudgment it.
\nSee it defeats it in the end and<\/p>\n
1101
\n00:52:10,200 –> 00:52:14,200
\nit provides a much more peaceful
\nhappy family life. <\/p>\n
1102
\n00:52:14,400 –> 00:52:17,200
\nAnd a Usual life.
\nIf we can treat one another, <\/p>\n
1103
\n00:52:17,200 –> 00:52:20,200
\nwith a little more Mercy, cut
\neach other a little bit more <\/p>\n
1104
\n00:52:20,200 –> 00:52:24,100
\nslack because, you know, in your
\nheart that when you show up to <\/p>\n
1105
\n00:52:24,100 –> 00:52:27,200
\nthe Judgment seat, you know,
\nwhich side you’re going to want <\/p>\n
1106
\n00:52:27,200 –> 00:52:30,100
\nto be on.
\nWho’s going to want to be on the<\/p>\n
1107
\n00:52:30,100 –> 00:52:33,200
\nside with judgment out there
\nwhen we’re standing before the <\/p>\n
1108
\n00:52:33,200 –> 00:52:35,700
\njudge, we’re all going to hope
\nfor mercy. <\/p>\n
1109
\n00:52:36,300 –> 00:52:40,300
\nSo why brothers sisters can’t we
\nshow that Mercy today to each <\/p>\n
1110
\n00:52:40,300 –> 00:52:43,100
\nother and the way we treat one
\nanother and how we talk to each <\/p>\n
1111
\n00:52:43,100 –> 00:52:46,300
\nother and the things that we do
\nin our family life and Ecclesia <\/p>\n
1112
\n00:52:46,300 –> 00:52:50,200
\nlife And with that, we’re off to
\nlunch.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
