Catholicsm and Works Salvation = False Doctrines
When did you realize all Abrahamic religions were extensions of Judaism?
>muh skydaddies
I gave up on god when he gave up on the world
That is an ignorant jewish take. Over 15 million "Jews" favor either the Talmud or kabbalah or both over the Torah. Christianity precedes "judaism".
Catholicsm =/= Christianism
Simply
Based.
nice try but no
For you.
Anyone who read the chapter as a whole knows this. James starts by introducing a situation where a rich and poor man walks into the congregation. The rich man is treated with respect and honor at the expense of the poor who is asked to sit down "under thy footstool".
Because of this, James states right after that the poor are those who are chosen by God showing the stark contrast between the possible actions of the audience and that of God. This also serves to stress that as Christians the audience should not do this and be impartial. Which is why verses 4-6 uses Leviticus 19:15 as a source or intertext. Both share the theme of judgement though in Leviticus 19:15, the point is one should not be partial in judgement which is what James audience had done based on the previous verses.
After this James says,
8If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:
9But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors.
10For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.
11For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law.
12So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.
13For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment
Here the royal Law James refers to is not the Mosaic Law as James first list out the love command which is similar to what Jesus gave in Matthew 22:34-40. Given the use of "royal" and "liberty" to refer to this law, it is not the ordinance of the Torah where one is expected to keep all of them but it is that of Christ which he lays out for believers to follow.
