We are examining the sin of partiality, so I shall not delay let us get about it. You should know this game as we here in the United States of America are witnessing it played out in our Democratic Republic, by the political parts, one busy building and restoring America to a strong Nation united in GOD. While the other pits itself both against GOD and the people of America whom they want to cast into Socialism's slave camps.
James 2:8-13 "If ye fulfill the royal law according to the scripture (in Leviticus 19:18), "Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself," ye do well: But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors. For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. For he that said (in Exodus 20:14, Deuteronomy 5:18), "Do not commit adultery," said also (in Exodus 20:13, Deuteronomy 5:17), "Do not kill." Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law. So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty. For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoices against judgment." (KJV)
James 2:8-13 "If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture (in Leviticus 19:18), "You shall love your neighbor as yourself," you are doing well. But if you show partiality, you are committing sin and are convicted by the law as transgressors. For whoever keeps the whole law but fails in one point has become accountable for all of it. For he who said (in Exodus 20:14, Deuteronomy 5:18), "Do not commit adultery," also said (in Exodus 20:13, Deuteronomy 5:17), "Do not murder." If you do not commit adultery but do murder, you have become a transgressor of the law. So speak and so act as those who are to be judged under the law of liberty. For judgment is without mercy to one who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment." (ESV)
James 2:8-13 "Scripture confirms that the law of liberty (our faith) is of the kingdom is fulfilled in us realizing the same value in our neighbor as within ourselves; this is what doing the word (inspired from within) is all about, and it makes beautiful poetry. (Leviticus 19:18; Luke 10:27, Matthew 22:37-40. By not forgetting what manner of person we are, we will not forget what manner of person our neighbor is according to the mirror principle.) To judge anyone on outward appearance is a [1]sin. (The word, [1, G266 from G264 from G1 and G3313 ] hamartia, is from (G1) a ha , meaning negative, to be without form and (G3313) meros, meaning form or allotted portion (to get as a section or allotment); sin represents any thing that robs one of our allotted portion which is the true meaning of our life.) This violates the law of liberty and revives condemnation and guilt. If you lower the standard of the law in just one aspect of it you have [1]failed entirely. (To fail, stumble, err, [1, G4417 ptaiō to trip, form of G4098 ] pipto, to descend from a higher place to a lower, from (G4072 ) petomai, to fly; thus, to stop flying.) For he who said you shall not commit adultery also said you shall not kill. Here is an example, you might be faithful to your wife, yet you have killed someone; your not committing adultery does not cancel out the murder! (And vice versa.) Let the law of liberty set the pace (be the judge) in your conversation and conduct. (The law of perfect liberty is the image and likeness of GOD revealed in Christ, now redeemed in our humanity as in a mirrored form. Look deep enough into the law of faith, that you may see there in its perfection a portrait that so resembles the original that he becomes distinctly visible in the spirit of your mind, as he is in your heart, and in the face of everyone you behold. (Hebrews 1:25)) Judgment showed no mercy to those who do not walk in mercy, but mercy triumphs over judgment. (Those who walk in mercy walk in the law of liberty [Galatians 5:22-23]. There is no law against Agape. While judgment threatens condemnation, mercy (Lamentations 3:22) interposes and prevails over judgment. Look at 1John 3:20-21, "So, even if our own hearts would [1]accuse us of not really being true to ourselves, GOD is greater than our hearts and he has the full picture! His knowledge of us is not compromised. ( The word, [1, G ] kataginosko is only used three times in the NT, translated, to blame, or condemn. From kata, down and ginosko, to know; thus to know from below; from a fallen mindset perspective) Beloved when we know what GOD knows to be true about us, then instead of condemning us, our hearts will endorse our innocence and [1]free our conversation before GOD. (The word [1]parresia, is from para, a preposition indicating closest of proximity's, and rheo, to pour forth; to flow freely, suggesting an unreservedness in speech; bold utterance.)
Also 1John 4:18-19, "Fear cannot co-exist in this Agape realm. The perfect love union that we are talking about expels fear. Fear holds on to an expectation of crisis and judgment [which brings separation] and interprets it as due punishment [a form of karma!] It echos torment and only registers in someone who does not realize the completeness of their love union [with the Father, Son and Spirit Holy and with one another.] We love because he loves us! [We did not invent this fellowship; we are invited into the fellowship of the Father and the Son!]) (The Mirror, with editing)
What an eye opener....hope that ya'll got that!
Until next time the LORD willing when we shall look into, "faith without works is dead," or is that what is reality?
