How awesome is that?! I just found this KZfaq channel, like 2 weeks ago and IT IS AMAZING and I AM SOO THANKFULL!

Lucky

same here!

I’m going to a Christian school next year

Amen 🙏🏾

🤔🤔🤔

Amen! 🙌🏻 👑

Amen

Your Labour in the Lord is not in vain. Thanks for the presentation.

Yes!

Amen.

Speaks against Paul's grace message,...just saying.

@@JesusLordOfLords455 it does not. They go hand in hand. It is not works that saves us, but faith. However, genuine faith leads to a renewed person, which leads to obedience, which leads naturally to works. It’s simply the natural course of living your life in surrendering to God. Instead of being “my works saved me” it is “because of what you’ve already done for me, I will do my works.” The lack of that change just blatantly shows that nothing has changed for the person, and that they merely made an in the moment emotion driven choice, or they think that just saying they believe will save them, but that’s not the case. Remember that Jesus said “depart from me, for I never knew you” to people who called Him teacher, not unbelievers.

James was Muslim he did not believe in Trinity or Paul's lies and distortions

@@logicunbiased no proof

Happy for you brother! May Jesus Christ bless you with his truth

​@@logicunbiased Without proof you're just another fool, my friend. Sorry, but that's how it works.

​@@josephbelov6212 literally the whole letter of James oppose to the teachings of Paul. Paul teaches the message of faith, and just with faith you'll get salvation, faith alone without work. But James teaches to work and follow the will of god that were taught by Jesus, and says that faith alone is like no faith, to have faith you have to do the works. And (Matthew 7:21-23) perfectly describes teachers as paul and their followers. "Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ And then will I declare to them, I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness."

Same.

Me too!

Me too… It truly is a gift 😊

hey, me too! blessings to you.

Me too 😇

Be encouraged. Keep your eyes on Jesus and let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your father, which is in heaven. Just keep your friend in prayer. The seed has been planted. Someone will water it and GOD will give the increase. Bless you

Haha I know right!

Amen!

I thought he was mixing his metaphors...but ok.

Wise words from you BlueBoy.Kudos

I’m using that tonight! We are starting a series on James and that encapsulates it perfectly!

Jacob Torrey God bless you on this amazing journey !

Jacob Torrey Is your name really james? ;)

Yessir they did for me too (:

More than that these guys are one of the reasons I have found my faith in Christ even though was indoctrinated in a different religion.

Mine too

Yes its so clear that James 2 talks about Faith alone saves from hell and works are not necessary for salvation, yet we should do works to perfect our faith

How can you say you believe if you keep doing the things that are contrary to that belief? I'm not convinced that Faith Alone will save us from Damnation if our Works do not prove our Faith. You can't serve God with your words and serve the devil with your actions.@@traesaint9328

What do you mean, James is very vague

U mean to say faith with out works is dead.. Faith and alone are never used in the bible ❤​@@traesaint9328

Ox mia Ellinida D:

I wonder why his name has been changed so drastically. In Spanish it's Santiago, like why haha

The power of the Holy Spirit lol

You were confused because Δημήτρης is often badly translated as Jim

Kathleen Arapoglou hahaha true 😂

It proves to me that my Faith is Dead, and I need to figure out how to align my works with my profession of faith. I find the book to be the second most important teaching compared to the words of Jesus.

Same here

Ur book at the library?

yes!!

You can give your worries to the Lord as its said by Jesus. I did it and he took my worries in a heartbeat. God is great.

I hate to do this to you because it's not fair and kind of off-topic but James wrote one of THE MOST anxiety producing verses of the bible: "Now to him that knows the good he ought to do and does not do it, to him it is sin." (See James 4:17) If that verse doesn't keep you under eternal condemnation then NOTHING will. Who can honestly say that he's doing everything he can 24/7? It's the stuff of psychosis. Indeed, God Himself cannot save you from such sin. John talks about the "sin unto death". I think James defines it. Paul talks about freedom from sin but James is the master of putting you right back in bondage.

@@Esico6 I can say the same! I had "lost" my job in a strange circumstance 4 months ago and it had made me anxious and worried about my future. But I remember the Lord will always take care of us which made me choose to trust in Him. In my time of struggle with trusting and worrying like on and off switch and lots of tears, I was reading psalms to remind me how great God is and He will take care and provide to those who put faith in Him. While unemployed, I was being provided small income as a freelancer. Now I have got the full time job after few months. It was not a easy journey but having faith make it so worth it. So praise and glory be to God!

@@GizmoFromPizmo "Who can Honestly say he's doing everything he can, 24/7? It's the stuff of psychosis. Indeed, God Himself cannot save you from such sin." I'm sorry you believe that. I think that Jesus teaches otherwise. "Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.” When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and asked, “Who then can be saved?” Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” Matthew 19:24‭-‬26 NIV Nobody can do their all 24/7. That's the entire point of Jesus coming to save us- because we ourselves cannot. James 2:10 says anyone who breaks even one part of the law is guilty of breaking all of it. Paul writes that the wages of sin is Death but God's gift is eternal life in Jesus. Peter writes that Jesus bore our sins in His body on the cross. Jesus paid for all sin, once for all. James' point here is not "If you miss your chance to do something good you're eternally condemned". His point is to encourage us to live out our faith in our actions. If you've been forgiven and loved by Jesus, and you love Him and call Him Lord, you'll serve Him by serving those in need. I pray that you find encouragement in the Gospel, and be free from your anxiety.

Yeah, it basically proves that many will say lord, lord and Jesus will say depart from me for I knew you not. It's a scary book that warns us that our actions in life better line up with our So-Called Faith.

Hello Dana

Oh praise Jesus !

The book of James is very scary and powerful but no way it Trumps the words of Jesus.

Laura Jay Exactly! I'm sure they put days into these videos. Their awesome. ❤️️

Galatians 6:7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap Exodus 20:4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Isaiah 45:20-22 Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together, ye that are escaped of the nations: they have no knowledge that setup the wood of their graven image, and pray unto a god that cannot save. Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time? Who hath told it from that time? Have not I the LORD? And there is no God else beside me; a just God and a saviour there is none beside me. Look unto me, and be saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God and there is none else.

Growing up with a perfect sibling......James probably had a hard time trying to live up to Jesus’ reputation

James we can assume didn't enjoy it as by the time of Jesus' ministry he was a skeptic of Jesus and didn't come to believe in his promises until he witnessed Christ return from the dead

Actually that relationship is what I find so compelling about James, how many people can go from seeing their brother who they grew up as a a little brother to the messiah, It would take something massive to make anyone any that about their sibling. I love how God uses all of these worldly relationships and peoples worldly reactions and evils to show his great love and power to make all evil right.

He loved Jesus and all but actually didn't believe him to be God and thought he was looney until he witnessed the resurrection LOL.

@@Walkinjoy Well, Christ was never claiming to be God in the first place. He was saying God sent him.

Awesome

Lovely to know Kate, welcome to the pilgrim to heaven, endure, be holy, and love everyone and the Lord Jesus

The catholic church teaches that Jesus did not have brothers to support the belief that Mary was an immaculate (virgin) saint. But think about the context of the time → Mary was engaged to Joseph, both Jews, and received the message that she would be the mother of the Messiah. Okay, she had the Messiah and through a miracle of the Holy Spirit, which made her give birth even if she was a virgin. But she did not remain a virgin. After all, she was engaged to Joseph, and we all know how the marriage was consummated in the past. Moreover, we have the fact that for a jewish woman, especially at that time, it was an honor to have many children. How can Mary, a Jewish married woman, not have other children? The gospels and biblical historians also can confirm Jesus' other (half) brothers. Hope you can keep your Bible studies and I pray to the Lord that he can show himself more and more through his beautiful word Here a little verse from Hoseah 6: 3 to encouraging: “So let us know and become personally acquainted with Him; let us press on to know and understand fully the [greatness of the] Lord [to honor, heed, and deeply cherish Him]. His appearing is prepared and is as certain as the dawn, And He will come to us [in salvation] like the [heavy] rain, Like the spring rain watering the earth.” Sorry for any mistakes, English is not my first language! Stay in peace!

Yohana Anailê so encouraging, thank you 🙏🏻

Thank you!

I am James and Jesus knows my name.

@@settlingwall6199 I am James and I enjoy the love Jesus is teaching me and to be humble and helping me stop my sinning because I cant do it by myself.

ISAIAH 59 - JAMES “So shall they fear the name of the Lord from the west, and His glory from the rising of the sun; when the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him. (Isaiah 59:19) WORDS BY: JESUS "The normal Christian life consist of many testings and it is your job as a believer to count it a joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that you will be blessed with the crown of life when you faithfully endure to the end. The purpose of all testings is to increase you in every way spiritually and physically that you may become pure as gold refined by fire. However, many do not make it through fiery trials because they are not faithful to uphold My truth in everyday matters. Your response to daily temptations is a good indication of what your response will be when the enemy comes in like a flood. If you are complacent, careless and casual about righteousness you will be swallowed up by darkness, for faith without works is dead. This is why being a doer of the word is vitally important and if there is no practical action in your life, then there is no overcoming nor crown that awaits you. When the enemy comes in like a flood I will lift up a standard against him. That standard is not for the compromised but the faithful. To be part of it then you must question, are you living up to My standards? Can I look at your life and be pleased or do you know deep down there’s more you can be? My desire is for you to receive your crown; but the enemy’s desire to rob you of it. Who are you going to listen to? Be faithful to stand strong in the truth you know, remembering that out of the tongue comes blessing or cursing. Resist the devil and he will flee from you, knowing that every trial is but for a time. Seize them as opportunities to grow and increase from and watch as you see the outpouring of blessings come flooding through for you."

Have you looked at Numbers in the King James bible?

I'm afraid not. There is a lot of debate as to the relationships Jesus had with the rest of his family because of ambiguous Greek and Aramaic wording and idioms. For instance, they describe James (Jacob) in this video as being Jesus' half-brother, assuming him to be a younger son of Mary and Joseph. The earliest traditions reject this, though, and the Catholic and Orthodox churches consider it blasphemy. Other proposals are that James was an older step-brother of Jesus -- Joseph's son by another marriage, from which he became a widower. Still another proposal is that James was a cousin of Jesus by Joseph's brother Clopas and his wife "the other Mary." It wouldn't be the first time a cousin is referred to as a brother in the Bible, because the scriptures use the same word to describe literal brothers as well as cousins, nephews, uncles, and other kinsmen.

If you read 1 Chronicles, it lists the genealogy that leads to Jesus. Just not entirely to the end to when Jesus is born. But the first 5 books of NT should say a lil bit more of it as well.

@kacangbumbu987 You're wrong ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@kacangbumbu987 perfectly put. People seem to forget the fact that Mary and Joseph were Jewish... Actually, that Jesus and his disciples were Jewish. Peter had a mother in law so he was married... Mary and Joseph were engaged and, in that the time and context, why would they not have any other children? But why those details aren't mentioned in the books? Well, I don't think knowing who Jesus second or third brother is important to our salvation xD Maybe in the coming kingdom we will all know something~

If I may ask. What do you have faith in that saves you?

I hope your battle with breast cancer was not too hard. LOVE/MISSED U. LOL

At a certain point tradition overpowers translational accuracy. If you were to refer to it as the book of Jacob it would probably lead to confusion. Its probably better left as a footnote.

@@pompshuffle562 that's the exact opposite of how to promote truth and is one of the very issues Jesus railed against the pharisees elevating tradition above truth. No, you would correct the name Jacob wherever it says James and provide a footnote of the inaccuracy.
