James the Just – Chapter 2

Torah to the Tribes - A podcast by Matthew Nolan - Sundays

James 2:1 My Yisraelite brothers, have not the emunah in our Master gauvh ha Moshiach, the Master of tifereth, with partiality. James 2:2 For if there comes into your synagogue a man with a gold ring, in costly apparel, and there comes in also a poor man in soiled clothing; James 2:3 And you show favor to him that wears the beautiful clothing, and say to him, Sit here in a tov place; and say to the poor, Stand over there, or sit here under my footstool: James 2:4 Are you not then being partial among yourselves, andhave become shophtim with evil thoughts? Our faith is tested by it’s response to societal distinctions! Don’t compromise the faith by having respect of persons. In the LXX respect of persons means to ‘lift up face’. Today we live in a Marxist, Socialist society with a veneer of Western democracy, where many of the rich and working class, including the corporations they founded are handicapped and hamstrung enabling the voting Marxist revolutionaries to loot and plunder through every fraudulent means possible! And herein lies the truth, the superrich governmental bureaucrats don’t want the poorer working class churning the gears of industry, they want them to be dependent, disillusioned, democrats that will further the goals of the global elite – dependent, begging for a bowl of porridge at the poles! James 2:5 Listen carefully, my beloved Yisraelite brothers, Has not vuvh chosen the poor of this world rich in emunah, and heirs of the malchut which He has promised to them that love Him? James 2:6 But you have despised the poor. Is it not rich men that oppress you, and drag you before their bema of mishpat? James 2:7 Do they not blaspheme that worthy Name by which you are called? The way the rich were treating the community of faith was the same way that S.a.tan is ruling over his subjects – exploitation of the poor and needy – today they’re exploited with government handouts procuring their vote for the democratic party of dependance. In Yaakov’s day the rich were using the courts to exploit the poor. James 2:8 If you fulfill the royal Torah according to the Katuv,You shall love your neighbor as yourself; you will do well: ‘The royal law, according the scripture’. Royal is kingly, the Greek word order points us to exactly where Yaakov is referencing, “a law ye are fulfilling royally or kingly.” The only Torah that was Malki – kingly in respect to personS not a person fulfilling it was prior to Exodus 24:12! Exodus 19:6 And you shall be to Me a malchut of Kohanim, and a kadosh nation. Kingdom Torah! The Greek word order establishes that the background for Yaakov’s teaching is the Book of the Covenant which provided the Torah’s true standard of righteousness as lived by the Patriarchs and made anew by Yahusha death and ratification of the Malki-Tzedik priesthoods royal law – covenant torah – Genesis 1:1 – Exodus 24:11 the impending change of Genesis 49 brought about by the Melech ha Melechim. ‘The royal law’ extends beyond the Book of the Law, it’s ‘new’ in it’s ability to work from the inside out just as the Master works on the redeemed individual – from the inside out! James 2:9 But if you show partiality among men, you commit sin, and are convicted by the Torah as transgressors. James 2:10 For whosoever shall keep the entire Torah, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. James 2:11 For He that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now even if you commit no adultery, yet if you kill, you have become a transgressor of the Torah. You can’t pick and choose which commandments of Torah apply! It’s either, as written in Timothy, ‘rightly divide the word of Torah’ between covenant and non covenant – Book of the Covenant – Book of the Law. Or its an undivided whole! But in each case you’re fully obligated to observe the ‘all’ within! James 2:12 So act, and do, as those that shall be judged by the Torah of liberty. James 2:13 For He shall have mishpat without rachamim to him that has shown no racham
