The Word of God is alive and active. It cleanses our soul. Thank you for your great work.
Oh so grateful for this study. As a new Christian walking alone, struggle to understand the bible; initially intense persecution from church (left due to no learning) and from all over, left job, saw Satan ‘s work on front line (was sent initially on front line w/o knowing about Jesus) but knew nothing. Learnt prophecy afterwards, now trying to know what is the gospel and other books of the bible.
If you ever need any guidance to learning the gospel. Do not hesitate to reach out.
@Tonyownsny. I need help
It’s quite a journey isn’t it? Pray to God that He will never allow you to forget your knowing that He exists. God bless you!
Bro I'm there with you. But we don't need to understand. GOD WILL GIVE US THE UNDERSTANDING AS HE SEES FIT. Woops on the caps. So just have patience, faith, and love. I notice when I really dig deep into the scripture and I'm trying to complete books or complete an entire series or whatever. I'm trying to read a lot of the times I start getting mad confused. But other times I read like a scripture and I feel like I get an entire download from God. He definitely has our back when it comes to learning.
Know you are never alone in Christ ❤️ sending love and peace Leemary.
I think God this lesson is such an eye opener. I believe this season we should all stay opened to receiveing from the lird more knowledge more understanding more wisdom this season seems to be one of testing, temptations, trials be encouraged and let the book of James be written in your heart ❤️
Lord
I honestly do not believe there is any more direct, straightforward, easier to understand book in the Bible than the book of James.
I love this book. Currently listened to it over and over the past few days. Chapter 5 to me is a warning to the rich men of the earth.
God reigns. Jesus is Lord.

Thank you so much for this insightful, inspirational and devotional lesson.
Beautiful & informative thank you
The wisest of words ever written compare not to the kindest of deeds ever done.
Thanks most greatly for your deep exposition on the book of James
Thank you and GOD BLESS everyone of you for this video.
Thank you for al the work that you put in this video.
Thanks ❤🙏
Thanks for the Video. God Bless your efforts in putting this to enlighten us in the Word of God. Would love to have some resources on Book of Ezekiel and Jeremiah.
Incredible and amazing content! Thank you Thirdmill 💪
Thanks God im so blessed
Thank you for this teaching it really was very interesting and informative. It gives us a picture of who was James . He had the same heart of our Lord even though he was the Lord’s brother.
So true bro! He would have been a stepbrother to Jesus
Thank you for this video, great insight!
Thank you 😊 God bless you for your efforts 🙏
This is a great teaching
James is the younger brother of Jesus? This is new to me.
What a great detailed job.
Thank you
This is a very informative and helpful video, however may i ask for time stamps?
Love you
And thank you
Amen
The ebionites are mentioned in this letter. James is defending the ebionites.
Lord forgive me
Gentlemen esp.these are fresh words of God. Salvation must be a cleansing of the spirit. A very fresh look on life. If we dress (attitude) in old clothes, life is expectantly full and negative.
Ty
Thank you for your teaching on book of James most of doubts misconceptions on this book cleared 🙏however you are not cleared Paul contention Salvation by faith alone (quotes Abraham) James argues salvation not only faith it require some good works (quotes Abraham) which is the correct conclusion you are not discussed? I feel salvation by faith alone when person called /salvation given but the works showing the evidence of salvation required to manifestation of his salvation.
I have a feeling that James became the leader by nepotism, paul galatians portraits James in a bad light, saying that he had peter scared of following the law only when no one was around
This helpfully videos I learned alot but leave deeper questions than answer
Whats up doc
1:55 sound cut out
Nothing good can be given except by God.
Who does the work? Is it man or God?
Unsaved ndividuals who hear the word of God are those who see who they are and do not believe.
James 2:15-17 We are the naked and destitute without the indwelling Spirit of God. God profits us as believers. The giver to the destitute is God. Every man has been given the measure of faith. The work is done by the Holy Spirit. So faith without His work is dead. Very obvious! The body without the spirit is dead. This isn't about a believers good deeds. It is about one believing. Rahab feared God and through her God given fear, she believed. Abraham believed that God would raise his son Isaac from the dead. He told the others that he and Isaac would return from the mountain. Christians are left double minded thinking they must display a work, when in fact, the Holy Spirit quickens our mortal coil. It's about believing in His work!
James 2:14 What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith (T)but does not have works? Can that faith save him?
Paul is clear on the subject and in conclusion states, "Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by THE LAW OF FAITH. Therefore we conclude that a man is "JUSTIFIED" BY FAITH WITHOUT THE DEEDS OF THE LAW."(Romans 3:27,28)
James clearly opposes and in conclusion states, "Ye see then how that BY WORKS A MAN IS JUSTIFIED, AND NOT BY FAITH ONLY." (James 2:21-24)
We will do well to heed the words of the Apostle Paul if we will find rest in God alone through simple faith.
Exactly, There was never a time that Paul's Letters were not considered Scripture, yet James stumbled in around 370- so they understood that James TWO is a BIG ISSUE as he could not let the law keeping go, SOLA FIDE is the teaching of the NT!!Faith AND works simply cannot be reconciled as it is a contradiction in itself. The "non worker" has only one option, which is to hold to Christ's promises.. NOT one iota of what one does...
You will know them by their fruits. That requires action.
@@blobmonster9494 The GREATEST FRUIT is the confession and acknowledgement of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, where salvation is by faith, EXCLUSIVE OF WORKS!! The pathetic reply to Sola Fide is that Paul never said "salvation is by faith alone" , Denying that when Paul wrote" SALVATION is by faith , EXCLUSIVE OF WORKS .. Can easily be paraphrased "Salvation is by faith alone"! IT IS A PATHETIC CATHOLIC ARGUMENT THAT THEY ARE NOT THE SAME.
@@duffgordon9005 You are saved by faith. Once you are saved what are you going to do with it? Nothing? Did Jesus tell you to do nothing? You will know them by their fruits. It means you need to do something.
There is theological justification, and then the definition of justification. James most likely is using the justificiation in the sense that our works prove or salvations, or show that our salvation is correct. Whereas Paul is using justification to assert that our faith has made us righteous in the sight of God
Identification just by saying one is servant is a saying maybe being a disciple. Yes it might be possible. Only churches (circe) believe in authoritarian pov. Where if your reading, it's just a proper pov that doesn't require power to make sense.

Gentilmen ill of laboring shall wage zero in despite one's own perseverance.
So that’s why Paul and Silas could sing in prison!
So Yeshua and Jacob could Read and write?

How dose the catholic church feel about this? Let me guess Joseph was a widower.
Dr Thurman Williams is talking racial politics. Veiled criticism of one group toward another.
Why would anyone begin with the assumption that there is a god. First prove God. Because without the proof of God all the holy books of all the millions of gods ever invented are meaningless.
Including and especially this one. Sorry.
One person says God is No where. Another says God is Now Here !
@@SandraGomez-vw9fo
Someone may say, “nothing is better than God!”
Someone else may say, “Hot dogs are better than nothing.”
So if nothing is better than God and hot dogs are better than nothing, then HOT DOGS ARE BETTER THAN GOD.
It’s called an equivocation fallacy. (No where - now here)
What do you mean by “prove”?
Why would anyone begin with the assumption that they had a mother and father? ( Cause it's a given)
@@SurgeCola
The gentleman is asking for “proof” that GOD exist. Not “prove”.
Amen
Amen
