Is is not the rich who are exploiting you? Are they not the ones who are dragging you into court? 7 Are they not the ones who slandering the noble name of him to whom you belong? 8 If you really keep the royal law found in Scripture, " Love your neighbor as yourself, " you are doing right. 9 But if you show favoritism, you sin and are convicted by the law as lawbreakers. 10 For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it. 11 For he who said, " Do not commit adultery, " also said, " Do not murder." If you do not commit adultery but do commit murder, you have become a lawbreaker. 12 Speak and act as those who are going to be judged by the law that gives freedom, 13 because judgment without mercy will be shown to anyone who has not been merciful. Mercy triumphs over judgment!" ( James 2:1-13 Zondervan NIV Study Bible. )
@@BENJAMINJAMESSMITH2000God is light and in Him there is no darkness whatsoever. God is holy, perfectly holy and does not sin or lie, in fact He cannot. . God is love, truth, life, and true beauty. The Lord made heaven and earth. God can kill an entire world full of people, for His reasons, and have committed no wrong to anyone. We cannot. God made Satan, and did no wrong. If you are looking for a mystery in which you think you can implicate God in wrong doing, in sin, you have foolishly put yourself in the place of God and are horribly doomed. Think otherwise and feel remorse for your sin and turn to the Lord Jesus for forgiveness, or perish forever. The Lord is gracious to forgive, and righteous when He condemns. The Lord gives and the Lord takes, blessed be His name. All praises to His glory and grace! Amen.

Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are sterred by a very small rudder wherever the pilot wants to go. 5 Likewise the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. 6 The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole person, sets the whole course of his life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell. 7 All kinds of animals, birds, reptiles and creatures of the sea are being tamed and have been tamed by man, 8 but no man can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison. 9 With the tongue we praise our Lord( Jesus :) 1st love in Christ) and Father( God, our Father in heaven), and with it( mouth) we curse men who have been made in God's likeness. 10 Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing.

I think John Piper's idea about the relationship between Christ presenting people before God (Col 1:22) and Paul and his co-workers presenting people before God (Col 1:28) is right. Christ uses Paul and his co-workers to present people before God, so we can say that Paul and co. present people before God. In the Bible we find the same way of speaking with regard to salvation. Christ obviously saves people. Yet we also find Paul saying that he saves people. For example, in 1 Cor 9:22 he says: 'I have become all things to all people, so that I might by all means save some of them.' Verses like Col 1:28 and 1 Cor 9:22 stress just how involved Paul and his co-workers were in God's building of his church. And the same is surely true - at least to some extent - of Christian evangelists and teachers today.
@@BENJAMINJAMESSMITH2000 It depends what we mean by that. God created the world knowing that people would sin, so sin came about as a result of a decision God made. But in the world as it is, sin originated from Satan and then from human beings, so in this sense sin is not from God.
@@BENJAMINJAMESSMITH2000 In one sense all things are from God. In another sense all things are not from God. When discussing spiritual things, we quite often find that subtlety is needed when giving answers to things. Sometimes simple yes/no answers are too simplistic.

James 2:1-13( Favoritism forbidden)
"2 My brothers, as believers
in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ( :) 1st love to me in Christ too) , don't show favoritism.
2 Suppose a man comes into your meeting wearing a gold ring and fine clothes, and a poor man in shabby clothes also comes in.
3 If you show special attention to the man wearing fine clothes and say, " Here's a good seat for you, " but say to the poor man, " You stand there" or " Sit on the floor by my feet, "
4 have you not discriminated among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts?
5 Listen, my dear brothers; Has not God chosen those who are poor in eyes of the world
to be rich
in faith( :) )
and
to inherit the kingdom he promised those who love him?
6 But you have insulted the poor.
Is is not
the rich
who are exploiting you?
Are they not the ones who are dragging you into court?
7 Are they not the ones who slandering the noble name of him to whom you belong?
8 If you really keep the royal law found in Scripture,
" Love your neighbor as yourself, " you are doing right.
9 But if you show favoritism, you sin and are convicted by the law as lawbreakers.
10 For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it.
11 For he who said,
" Do not commit adultery, " also said,
" Do not murder." If you do not commit adultery but do commit murder, you have become a lawbreaker.
12 Speak and act as those who are going to be judged by the law that gives freedom,
13 because judgment without mercy will be shown to anyone who has not been merciful. Mercy triumphs over judgment!" ( James 2:1-13 Zondervan NIV Study Bible. )
i am so blessed by these videos. thank you.
Is sin from God?
@@BENJAMINJAMESSMITH2000God is light and in Him there is no darkness whatsoever. God is holy, perfectly holy and does not sin or lie, in fact He cannot.
. God is love, truth, life, and true beauty.
The Lord made heaven and earth. God can kill an entire world full of people, for His reasons, and have committed no wrong to anyone. We cannot.
God made Satan, and did no wrong.
If you are looking for a mystery in which you think you can implicate God in wrong doing, in sin, you have foolishly put yourself in the place of God and are horribly doomed.
Think otherwise and feel remorse for your sin and turn to the Lord Jesus for forgiveness, or perish forever.
The Lord is gracious to forgive, and righteous when He condemns. The Lord gives and the Lord takes, blessed be His name. All praises to His glory and grace! Amen.
What a day that shall be!

James 3:1-12(Taming the Tongue)😊❤
"3 Not many of you should presume to be teachers, my brothers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly.
2 We all stumble in many ways. If anyone is never at fault in what he says, he is a perfect man, able to keeo his whole body in check.
3 When we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can turn the whole animal.
4 Or take ships as an example. Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are sterred by a very small rudder wherever the pilot wants to go.
5 Likewise the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts.
Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark.
6 The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole person, sets the whole course of his life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.
7 All kinds of animals, birds,
reptiles
and creatures of the sea are being tamed and have been tamed by man,
8 but no man can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.
9 With the tongue we praise our Lord( Jesus :) 1st love in Christ) and Father( God, our Father in heaven), and with it( mouth) we curse men who have been made in God's likeness.
10 Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers, this shoud not be.
11 Can both free water and salt water flow from the same spring?
12 My brothers, can a fig tree bear olives,

Neither can a salt spring produce fresh water. "( James 3:1-12 Zondervan NIV Study Bible)

"19 My dear brother😊😊😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤, take note of this: Everyone❤ should be quick to listen slow to speak and slow to become angry,
20 for man's anger does not bring about the righteous life that God( 😊100%❤) desires❤.
21 Therefore❤,
get rid of
all
moral filth

the evil
that is
so prevalent
and
humbly
accept the word plant in you😊❤,
which can save you.
22 Do not merely( "merely" means no more than; and nothing else; or only. Or do not only listen to the word )
listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves.
Do 😊❤what it says❤😊.
23 Anyone who listens to the word but do not do what it says is like a man who looks at his face in mirror
24 and after looking at himself,
goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like.
25 But the man who looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues to do this, not forgettinh what he has heard, but doing😊❤ it❤- he will be blessed in what he does.
26 If anyone
consider himself religious
and
yet
do not keep a tight rein on his tongue,
he deceive himself
and
his religon is worthless( no good).
27 Religion that God our Father( in heaven) accepts as pure and faultless is this:
to look after orphans(today there are many orphans out there and those around us, did you look after these orphans too today too in Christ?)and widows( again do you look after widows today too? ) in their( orphans' and widows') distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world."

I think John Piper's idea about the relationship between Christ presenting people before God (Col 1:22) and Paul and his co-workers presenting people before God (Col 1:28) is right. Christ uses Paul and his co-workers to present people before God, so we can say that Paul and co. present people before God.
In the Bible we find the same way of speaking with regard to salvation. Christ obviously saves people. Yet we also find Paul saying that he saves people. For example, in 1 Cor 9:22 he says:
'I have become all things to all people, so that I might by all means save some of them.'
Verses like Col 1:28 and 1 Cor 9:22 stress just how involved Paul and his co-workers were in God's building of his church. And the same is surely true - at least to some extent - of Christian evangelists and teachers today.
Is sin from God?
@@BENJAMINJAMESSMITH2000 It depends what we mean by that.
God created the world knowing that people would sin, so sin came about as a result of a decision God made.
But in the world as it is, sin originated from Satan and then from human beings, so in this sense sin is not from God.
@@maxaplin4204 Are all things from God?
@@BENJAMINJAMESSMITH2000 In one sense all things are from God. In another sense all things are not from God.
When discussing spiritual things, we quite often find that subtlety is needed when giving answers to things. Sometimes simple yes/no answers are too simplistic.
@@maxaplin4204 “For from him and through him and for him are all things” (Romans 11:36). Romans 11:36 proves that all things are from God. Right?
