"James" is the fifty-ninth book of the "Holy Bible," and it was written by James himself. It is not dissimilar to the previous letters by Paul, but there is a definite difference in writing style. It does still feel like it was written by an apostle.
The theme of this book was extremely easy to lock down. Although there was a chapter about the importance of faith, the real deal here was about hypocrisy. It even uses that word which is actually not a word used often in the Bible as a whole.
"James" also breaks down the idea of joining a religion as a means to get away with eternal life. Some people join a religion like it's some sort of holy club. But like the book says, faith without acts means nothing. You have to be 100% given to the faith or else there is no point.
There are a lot of people out there [I know some of them] that can quote a ton of Bible verses and even explain the faith with precision, but their lives are filled with blatant sins that seriously contradict with the things they just cited. This is the hypocrisy explained in this short book. And if you are interested in this very important staple of the real Christianity then you might want to read it... but most people will ignore it... or memorize it and not actually bother putting it into practice.
That's it for this one. I recommend the book. James is a fine writer, and another great voice-box for the Holy Spirit.

Yeah, what does it matter what you believe if you act contrary to what you believe? It is better to believe the lie you live than to believe the truth but live the lie. It is best to believe the truth and live accordingly.
ReplyDeleteIt's like they just want to close their eyes and live inside their heads.
DeleteWe see The Truth through our faith but so many still choose to stray. Their belief is useless if they don't take it to heart and act accordingly. We "believe" smoking causes cancer but so many still do it.
ReplyDeleteWhat people believe really has nothing to do with either their reality nor the actions they take. Ultimately, the human race is self-destructive for no good reason.
DeleteThose who truly believe will not continue in sin. After what He went through for our sakes, the very idea of sinning becomes detestable. You will do everything you can to be rid of it.
ReplyDeleteI liked your first sentence. It's true!
