Study of James 1:1-4
Let's see some more doctrine that is wrongly preached today and to learn more about the truth that is to be preached to us today! First, we look at temptation and patience. Is there a difference of those two subjects from what Paul preaches when compared to James? Yes! Unmistakable! Obviously! But the pastors today still preach the wrong gospel when they preach out of James TO us, instead of FOR us.

Study of James 1:5-16
Is this the correct book we should learn about double-minded people? No, not at all. There is a totally different consequence for double-minded people during the Tribulation than we have today. It is an interesting study. What about the rich during the Tribulation? There won't be any rich 'brethren' -- think about it... then listen to the sermon. And what really is 'temptation'? Are 'dirty' thoughts a sin? Do we even have to be concerned about 'sin' and the 'death' that comes from it? Are they dead to sin during the Tribulation? You might think so if you are a fast reader; however, if you read a little slower, you will see just how important the letter 's' can be!

Study of James 1:17-27
Is every good and perfect gift today from God? Is God the Father of lights or Father of heavenly lights? Is our KJB full of 'variableness' -- is there a 'shadow of turning' that can come from the KJB? What is the "word of truth" during the Tribulation? Weren't we begat by the 'word of truth' today? What about our own 'personal' wrath today when compared to wrath during the Tribulation? These verses show a concern for losing salvation -- do we have to worry about that, based on these Scriptures? Finally, religion? I despise it and we should, according to Paul; however, James describes a pure and undefiled religion? Does that exist today? And finally, can we actually keep ourselves from being spotted by the world? Are we told that we should try to be that unspotted, etc.? Answers within!

Study of James 1:18--2:1
We look at 1) word of truth; 2) Law of Liberty; 3) the faith of Jesus during the Tribulation. Are these the same things that we hear from Paul? No. They can't be! Take a listen!

How can any pastor / preacher try to put James with Paul? We look at faith and works here. Well, it makes total sense for the Tribulation but is so opposite of what Paul teaches from the Risen Saviour.

Offensive words Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow!
Why is it that we used to have the freedom to speak our peace? To say what we want, etc.? But today, if we say one wrong word -- we can be fired, lose our friends, family, etc. What is going on? How does James explain it? It is a great understanding we get from reading James. What does Paul say about being offensive? We know the word of God will be offensive, but do we have to be? Are we truly being offensive or is it a new loss of freedom? Does this have anything to do with the Tribulation? Yup!

Study of James 3:13-18
James shows us some things about our King James Bible... James? Oh yeah -- you bet! He also shows what happens to us when we quit reading our Bible. James can tell us that? But he wasn't writing TO us? Correct, but we can still learn FROM James. And the peace that those folks in the Tribulation need? It is a physical peace... Paul would have us fight the fight of faith and pray for a quiet and peaceable life. Both dispensations need peace, but there is a difference -- and the consequences are different, as always.

Study of James 4:1-12
Here are more questions to ask the pastors today: 1) Does lusting today have any different consequences when compared to the Tribulation? 2) We have not because we ask not? 3) We have not because we ask amiss? 4) Who is the 'he' in verse 6? 5) Does God resist the proud today? 6) Does God bless only the humble? 7) How does one draw nigh to God today? 8) Does the devil really flee from us when we resist him? 9) How do we cleanse our hands? 10) How do we purify our hearts? 11) Does God really want us to be afflicted, and mourn, and weep? 12) Can we have no laughter anymore? 13) Does God want our joy turned to heaviness? 14) Are we supposed to be a doer of the law? 15) If you, as a pastor, preach those things which I just asked, to us today, how do you suggest we do those things?

Study of James 4:13--5:20
James is preaching to those scattered Jews who now want to party hearty and go to the city to buy and sell, etc. Where have you heard that phrase before? So, do you really think James' preachings are aimed at us? Seriously? Listen to this sermon and tell your pastor he is nuts if he is trying to preach this stuff TO you as in an application manner. This time around again through James has shown me another depth of the way of God during the Tribulation. We have nothing to fear today -- but the fear that James talks of is not far away for others!
