This is what my Bible

Jas 1:1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, To the twelve tribes in the Dispersion:: Greeting.
This made me wonder . Is this a Jew who followed Christ Jesus . Writing to just Israel ? Or a Brother in Christ writing to those who are trying to walk with GOD?
As you have said there can be no mistake. I myself feel he is writing to help those who walk with Christ.Read please rev steven what I wrote to unsafe . About
The spirit of man ---Changed to a child of GOD
The flesh or body--To be taken away with it"s sin--A new Body in the life to come
The Holy Spirit ---GOD In us , with us always
And GOD said let us make man in our image and likeness. So GOD created man in his own image.Male ,and female, He made them. Gen 1:26-28 my interpretation.--The Glory is GODS. Rev Thanks to our Lord Jesus Christ.

James himself was almost certainly a Jew who followed Jesus Christ. It seems likely, based on the contents of the letter, that his primary intended audience was probably Jewish Christians - Jews who believed that Jesus was the Messiah. Please note - they were "Christians." Did he intend the letter to be read only by and applicable only to Jewish Christians? Likely not. In fact, most likely he hadn't thought about the possibility. The reference to the "twelve tribes in the Dispersion" is not necessarily a reference only to Israel. It's clearly symbolic language. It's not a term used anywhere else to refer to Israel, and in a letter that's steeped with Jewish imagery it's not likely that James would have invented a phrase to refer to Israel. It's also worth noting after the exile to Babylon and the subsequent dispersion of the Jews throughout what would become the Roman Empire, the twelve tribes no longer existed in any physical sense.

Certainly, though, it's possible that James may have thought that his writing would be addressed only to Jewish Christians. The church, acting under divine inspiration, believed otherwise; that it had a far wider application and importance. The church, acting under divine inspiration, included James as a part of the New Testament canon. It is now Scripture for all Christians - of Gentile or Jewish background. There have been some over the years who would have preferred that it be excised from the New Testament canon. Martin Luther, among others, was not a fan - although he didn't argue for its exclusion.

So, unless you want to argue that the church was wrong in choosing to include James as a part of the New Testament canon, you have to deal with it. You can't just dismiss it on the basis that "it's addressed to someone else." You, too, have to contend with the words "confess your sins to one another," as James argues that Christians are to do.
 
Je aimes myth ... I like what's beyond and coming too ... people should collect light as time passes ... then they are blown away by the light ... in the dark Ness none the less if you happen to be immersed in the story ... previously misunderstood as incarnate ...

-- Good morning Revsdd-
I am wondering if you noted how many times , you have made a assumption of to who Paul was talking to, and why. Yet you can clearly see by the post I sent you . It said he was talking to the twelve tribes in the Dispersion. I do not change it . Why because I read it with the eyes of Christ with His teaching and understanding. The Tribes of Israel which were Dispersed from the place of Israel ,were 12 in number. As can be proven by GODS Word The Bible. Ten are still missing and are thought to be . In many country"s around the world. Indeed you or I could find are fore fathers were of Israel . Of course we understand today , that those who believe in Christ Jesus, and follow Him . Have become part of Israel as well. So as you may see . What is said of James Book . Dose not go against what I believe . If it did , I would not change it . So much as try and find out why. We Christians" ,I believe allow , to many men and women who write books . To tell us the meaning of GODS word. Yet only The Spirit of GOD knows for sure what His meaning is.James , you , and me . I believe all work with that same one and only Spirit sent from , GOD sent to help us. So I also believe Steven , we should come to one" understanding of what GOD is saying though James. I care not if I am right, or if your right. I do how ever care that we through GODS " Holy Spirit . Can make a true understanding . This still leaves us with the line. James said -"confess your sins to one another,"--Perhaps if we look at this a different way.
Do you in your church confess your sins , on a day to day bases or any other time?
Do you know of any church, that dose this? I mean christian Church at any time in history , of the church.
I do not , the only church I know that had confession was The Catholic.Only that was to a Minister not one another.

Hi airclean33 -----your quote -----I don't believe I have ever said I am perfect unsafe ----

This is what you said ----quote from page 8 -----No Sister, I have not the mind of man . For Christ is changing my mine to His. He that has come from above has changed my mind to be in line with GOD . I am a born again .

So answer this ------Is God Perfect -------when you say ----your quote --He that has come from above has changed my mind to be in line with GOD . I am a born again .-----

You are saying you are perfect ---your spirit and mind are in line with God you say ---your saying I have gone from the 2nd Man which God Himself talks about in His word to the top of the Line Spiritual Man -------------so you are saying your perfect ---your holy --sinless ---your everything God is -------

Please answer me this if you will--- Please ----------Why does God address Born Again People as not being able to eat solid food having still a corrupt Nature ---being in Christ ---born again

GOD'S WORD --- airclean 33---------1 Corinthians 3 (GW)----You Belong to Christ ----Verse 1and 3 especially -----

3 Brothers and sisters, I couldn’t talk to you as spiritual people but as people still influenced by your corrupt nature. You were infants in your faith in Christ.

2 I gave you milk to drink. I didn’t give you solid food because you weren’t ready for it. Even now you aren’t ready for it
3 because you’re still influenced by your corrupt nature.
When you are jealous and quarrel among yourselves, aren’t you influenced by your corrupt nature and living by human standards?

Do you feel you are exempt from the what God's Word says -----Help me understand why you have a problem with His Word Here -----

You say you make mistakes you do not sin -----Greek word for SIN -----if we tell a lie we make a mistake -------it goes against being honest which is what God wants -----God turns His eyes from our Lie -----we are sinless in His eyes ---we feel guilty for telling the lie ----why cause we know it is wrong ------

I'm quite willing to acknowledge that we do not "confess our sins to one another." Maybe we should. Having said that, I don't deny that we have sins to confess. Only you do that.

You said that "What is said of James Book . Dose not go against what I believe . If it did , I would not change it ." Then, why did you insist that James was wrong to use the word "sin."

Frankly, I believe that to go as far as to deny that one sins at all indicates a serious spiritual problem.
 
Did God give us a few clues (Q'luce) about how to judge right or wrong on the basis of time, place and light of the situation?

Sometimes this ability remains somnolent ... due to powers of energetic denial ... the other dark Ness ...

Then there is the virtue us love that one has to cover up for the powerful will rip it off ... and thus schism ...

Void ... rapture ... a great enigma ... you just never know what you're getting into until the door is opened ... if it is give it some reverence!
 
Hi airclean33 ---Just want you to know you have every right to think as you do we all think different in some areas -------I believe that you believe that the Bible is God's word as I do and there is scripture to back up that Born Again People still do Miss the Mark

Have a look at this -----this explains the what the scripture says ----- it is a short video ------God Bless Brother ----


Can Christians Still Sin?
 
Can Christians doctor the light with lack of Eire and cause it to be all smoke and mirrors?

Some fresh Ness always required ... thus the so Lar Winds ... Lord be ...

This is what you said ----quote from page 8 -----No Sister, I have not the mind of man . For Christ is( changing) my mine to His. He that has come from above has changed my mind to be in line with GOD . I am a born again .

So answer this ------Is God Perfect -------when you say ----your quote --He that has come from above( has changed my mind to be in line with GOD). I am a born again .-----
Airclean-Post--Really unsafe whats your point?You can read the first part of this that says (He That is GOD is CHANGING my mind )The second line to be more like His Jesus . To be be more like GOD thinks. So as to be inline with GOD.We are a work in progress. By the way GOD is always right. .

Unsafe--Post--
You are saying you are perfect ---your spirit and mind are in line with God you say ---your saying I have gone from the 2nd Man which God Himself talks about in His word to the top of the Line Spiritual Man -------------so you are saying your perfect ---your holy --sinless ---your everything God is -------

Airclean-post--Your questions
Am I perfect?---For the second time , the answer is the same (no)
My spirit and mind are inline with GOD I say?--NO I said we are a work in progress . I believe GODS word teaches until I leave this flesh to put on a new gown . I cannot be perfect.

Unsafe--Post-
Please answer me this if you will--- Please ----------Why does God address Born Again People as not being able to eat solid food having still a corrupt Nature ---being in Christ ---born again

GOD'S WORD --- airclean 33---------1 Corinthians 3 (GW)----You Belong to Christ ----Verse 1and 3 especially -----

Airclean-post-
Do you not understand unsafe . That becoming a child of GOD takes learning . Even our Lord Jesus well in flesh had to go though learning , our you more than him?The Idea of a new born again is like that of a child. Did you know all you know now . When you were 1-2 years old??By the way I believe Paul wrote this. About" with milk.

3 Brothers and sisters, I couldn’t talk to you as spiritual people but as people still influenced by your corrupt nature. You were infants in your faith in Christ.

Airclean--post As posed before ,a born again" is a person or work in progress .We must learn well still in flesh, how we are to deal with it.

Unsafe Post--
Do you feel you are exempt from the what God's Word says -----Help me understand why you have a problem with His Word Here -----

Airclean-Post--I am no way exempt from GODS WORD. I am how ever been given the power and understanding . To work with GOD Holy Spirit . To understand the meaning and direction He wants me to go. Do you?

unsafe-post--

Airclean-post--Come on unsafe . you should know I will not knowingly tell a lie.Even so if I do tell one though . It will not be as a sin.( GOD will say right away , what you just said was not true). I will just simply say sorry Father , I will watch not to do it again. I will change it if I can.Ether way it is not sin to those under Christ. For sin is under the Law , I am not. The mistake or sin may also go to the flesh , which is not saved

Airclean- post -Yes I missed the mark. But is is not that person who lives now. I accept Jesus The Christ to take my place . He has given me His. I have died ,an been reborn . I am no longer a part of the world of man. But the Kingdom of GOD. I am born of GOD. JOHN 1: 12 -13

Hi airclean33 -----

So what is your take on this scripture -------Please don't ignore this this scripture --you are giving me scripture to support your claim and I am giving you scripture to support that we as Christians do still sin ----also did you view the video -------

This is what God says to us -----Proverbs 4:7 ERV -----7 “The first step to becoming wise is to look for wisdom, so use everything you have to get understanding.

GOD'S WORD --- airclean 33---------1 Corinthians 3 (GW)----You Belong to Christ ----Verse 1and 3 especially -----

There is a place for confessing our sins to our pastors - so that they can assure us of Christ's forgiveness by speaking God's Word into our lives.
 
Hi airclean33

So Sorry My Bad airclean33 ----didn't see all your post ---forget my last post ---Thank you so much for your reply -----So here you admit missing the mark and you confess it to God --

your quote ------you should know I will not knowingly tell a lie.Even so if I do tell one though . It will not be as a sin ---to God airclean ---you are right there ---your quote -----I will just simply say sorry Father , I will watch not to do it again. I will change it if I can ----and you can airclean33 cause Grace is there to help you not to do it again -------

Airclean-post--Come on unsafe . you should know I will not knowingly tell a lie.Even so if I do tell one though . It will not be as a sin.( GOD will say right away , what you just said was not true).

God says nothing about the lie airclean cause He sees you through His Son Jesus Christ ------who is Holy and sinless ------and who fulfilled the law and died to free us from the Law ---this is the thing airclean ---it is never us --who can take the credit for not sinning ----we as humans will sin -----after we accept Christ -----we die to sin only because God sees us through His Son ----Jesus did all the work ---His Father then sees all His Children as He sees His Son who He is well pleased in ------- It is only through Him that we receive the Holy Spirit are free from being charged with sin ------

God Bless Brother

--Hi rev -I was going to let your post go by.But your last line cot me. Rev I said after we are saved by Jesus The Christ. We don"t have sin . As He took it on Him. .
 
Romans 7:16f.: "I do the very thing I hate. Now if I do what I do not want, I agree that the Law is good. But in fact it is no longer I who do it, but the sin that dwells within me. For I know that nothing good dwells within me. that is in my flesh. I can will what is right, but I cannot do it.
 
Why is everyone here so obsessed with sin anyway? In the end we are either the actor or we are the one who prompts the actor from off stage. In the end the personality means less and less.

Because most people here are some flavour of Christian and historically sin has been a Christian obsession.

I much prefer the Buddhist notion of grasping or attachment to the notion of sin as a kind of abstract force or hereditary curse that we see in Christianity and Islam. To be fair, though, I find many modern Christians, at least in the liberal and progressive streams, embrace concepts of sin that kind of lean that way, too.
