@Chris,
1 John 1:5 says “This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.” So God is not the author of bad things.
But as people in the Old Testament had very little knowledge Satan, who is the author of evil, they attributed all; and the good, and the bad to God. And that is a Figure of Speech (way of expressing an idea that may be different from its literal meaning). And the Figure of Speech is called Idiom of Permission.
That Idiom is found in places like Matthew 6:13 where it says “And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.‘’ Which would literally mean God may lead us into temptation; which the Bible denies God would do in James 1:13, as it says “Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:”
In fact the devil is responsible for all evil, and Jesus Christ made him known to the public (Church), Colossians 2:15. Satan can no more hide.
God bless you.

In my devotion this morning, I read the story of a duckling that was hatched and the first things he saw was an old dog. Naturally, the duckling figured that he must be a dog and took on the attributes and actions of the dog. Here in James, I'm seeing the importance of acting and being what you are. If you are a born again Christian, assume the role. Don't just be a hearer of the word of God, but be a doer. We as believers in Christ have to realize that as we go through our daily activities, we are the only bible that those around us read. We have to look and act like Christ. We cannot be born in Christ and act the role of Satan. We cannot be born a duck and act like a dog. We have to be a duck. It is so very important to live our testimony each day before others, so that they will see Christ through us. It is our duty and responsibility to portray Christ each and every day. Be a doer of the word and not an hearer only. God loves you. God bless.

Happy people endure temptation, and when their trial is over, they shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord has promised to all who love Him. God does not tempt us with evil, but He does test us to do good. Just as God tested Abraham to sacrifice Isaac, and when Abraham obeyed God, the ram was provided for an offering. So it is with us, as we count it all joy with the various trials that we go through, God provides the way of escape so that we can be more patient complete Christians. Therefore we must do the word of God, and not hear only. The blessing comes when we obey what God has told us to do. Helping the fatherless, widows, and keeping from being spotted by this world, we receive the salvation that is promised.

Verses 2, 3 and 4, God wants us to step up to a higher spiritual plane in him through temptations. We learn God will see us through. Having Patience is relying, trusting and knowing God will see us through. Draw close to him.

This section of the bible is great, and easy to read and understand. I'm looking forward to get one for my classes on Sundays. It's easy to follow, a great bible to have, and use as references to teach others the true, as found in the King James Version.

The lord wants us to have a lot of patience and he will never forsake us.

I think that this verse can go many differnt ways that are ngood and pleasing to God. As in be patience in her, as trust in GOD!Never let any thing come in your way between GOD and your faith through HIM!!!!!!!

When anyone is being tempted let him/her not say is from God. For every man is drawn away of his own lust and enticed

i love james as it defines life in christian perspective.To us christians life is a test each day we are tested to see our love towards God and our friends no wonder james says that we must count it all joy when we are tried

What does the word perfect mean in scripture? But the man who looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues to do this, not forgetting what he has heard, but doing it--he will be blessed in what he does.( James 1:25). Jesus answered, "If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me." ( Matthew 19:21) Does the perfect here means something different than the perfect used in 1st Corinthians 13:10? What is the perfect law of liberty? What was Jesus referencing when he told the rich young ruler if thou would be perfect go sell all that you have and come follow me. Could perfect mean complete? I'm just saying! Sometimes we make things more difficult than they should be! My feeling or my opinion is fruitless when it comes to the word of God. Solomon said in Proverbs 16:25 "There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death." In Matthew 7:24 Jesus said these words "Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them, may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock." The Hebrew writer said in Hebrews 5:8-9 Although He was a Son, He learned obedience from the things which He suffered And having been made perfect, He became to all those who obey Him the source of eternal salvation,

Hear ( Mt 7:24), believe ( Jn 8:24) repent ( Lk 13:3,5) confess ( Acts 8:37) and be baptized for the remission of your sins, ( Acts 2:38, 8:12, acts 22:16)

For brethren let us be doers of the coz if we only listern and do not put it into practice we are only deceiving ourselves as GOD only acts in out lives through his word

James encourages us to Stand with the Word in humility, by being good listeners, hearer and dowers of the Word of God. It awakens us, to tame our tongue,I believe if that enemy called tongue is tamed, then we shall overcome all the temptations that come our ways. Jesus did it all, its our obligation to accept it and take it. Brethren we are more than conquerors in Christ Jesus.

we are all tempted, being tempted is not wrong and will not lead to sin UNLESS, we are drawn away by the lust of our own [not no one else]and enticed, we must crucify the flesh and die daily ..

God is looking for thiose will to put him first above all things. He allows the devel to tempt us to test us. He doesn't tempt us. our trails are our test of faith. Are we going to trust him to see us through or are we going give in to the temptations put before us. Just ask God to help you turn away from temptations. He is faithful to do just that. Don't let your problems come between you and God. When we get our minds off our problems and start doing what we have been call for. It give God a chance to begin a work for us. Rejoyce and be glad. god is loving and there is nothing he can't do.

early i said (JOB) i meant to say Joseph. learn , listen and be bold about your faith. humble does not mean weak , stand your ground. psalm 62-2-8. were your faith . GOD SAID I KNOW YOUR NEEDS.

we are to focus ( matt 6:33 ) less of the world and more of his divine love . let not forget the walk and talk that (JESUS). went through. we all make mistake , but ask (GOD) FOR REPENTED. DID NOT JERMIAH 29 11 TELL US TO KNOW HIM SEEK AND YOU SHALL FINE. LEARN TO LISTEN TO THE VOICE. YOU EXCEPTED jesus for salavition , receive the HOLY SPIRIT , AND NOW YOU FOUND OUT THAT YOUR BODY IS A LIVING TEMPLE. SHARE YOUR FAITH , AND THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT, IN GALATION, HUMBLE LIKE JOB DID. AND LOOK WERE HE AT NOW , SECOND IN CHARGE , NEVER GIVE UP ALWAY PRAY. JAMES 5 16. SOON WE AS BELIVER WILL BE IN GLORY.

N other words, quit ur sinning! The Word when it's comusmed by ur soul, it will help u over come sin.

If this man is off, God that he won't act religious ,that he will fear God. And and he will humble him self first before God then,man.he will not let him self get caught up in unGodly talke.

How Many Are Sealed?
10 Jesus said to those in line for this sealing: “Have no fear, little flock, because your Father has approved of giving you the kingdom.” ( Luke 12:32) Other scriptures, such as Revelation 6:11 and Romans 11:25, indicate that the number of this little flock is indeed limited and, in fact, predetermined. John’s next words confirm this: “And I heard the number of those who were sealed, a hundred and forty-four thousand, sealed out of every tribe of the sons of Israel: Out of the tribe of Judah twelve thousand sealed; out of the tribe of Reuben twelve thousand; out of the tribe of Gad twelve thousand; out of the tribe of Asher twelve thousand; out of the tribe of Naphtali twelve thousand; out of the tribe of Manasseh twelve thousand; out of the tribe of Simeon twelve thousand; out of the tribe of Levi twelve thousand; out of the tribe of Issachar twelve thousand; out of the tribe of Zebulun twelve thousand; out of the tribe of Joseph twelve thousand; out of the tribe of Benjamin twelve thousand sealed.”— Revelation 7:4-8.
11 Could this not be a reference to literal, fleshly Israel? No, for Revelation 7:4-8 diverges from the usual tribal listing. ( Numbers 1:17, 47) Obviously, the listing here is not for the purpose of identifying fleshly Jews by their tribes but to show a similar organizational structure for spiritual Israel. This is balanced. There are to be exactly 144,000 members of this new nation—12,000 from each of 12 tribes. No tribe in this Israel of God is exclusively royal or priestly. The whole nation is to rule as kings, and the whole nation is to serve as priests.— Galatians 6:16; Revelation 20:4, 6.
12 Although the natural Jews and Jewish proselytes were given the first opportunity to be chosen for spiritual Israel, only a minority of that nation responded. Jehovah therefore extended the invitation to the Gentiles. ( John 1:10-13; Acts 2:4, 7-11; Romans 11:7) As in the case of the Ephesians, who previously had been “alienated from the state of Israel,” now non-Jews could be sealed with God’s spirit and become part of the congregation of anointed Christians. ( Ephesians 2:11-13; 3:5, 6; Acts 15:14) It is appropriate, then, for the 24 elders to sing before the Lamb: “With your blood you bought persons for God out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation, and you made them to be a kingdom and priests to our God, and they are to rule as kings over the earth.”— Revelation 5:9, 10.
13 The Christian congregation is “a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation.” (1 Peter 2:9) Replacing natural Israel as God’s nation, it becomes a new Israel that is “really ‘Israel.’” ( Romans 9:6-8; Matthew 21:43) For this reason, it was quite proper for Jesus’ half brother James to address his pastoral letter “to the twelve tribes that are scattered about,” that is, to the worldwide congregation of anointed Christians that in time would number 144,000.— James 1:1.

James reminds me that after reading the word, continue in the perfect walk after christ. We should not be tempted by the things of the world, not only be a hearer but a doer as well, and you shall be blessed in your deeds. Do all you can to help others not to be entrapped by the temptations of the world.

James 1 tells i am supposed exercise meekness and patience in this troubled world. And other than that, it tells not only to hear His commands but, practise what He commands. By the end of it all, the sun will rise one day and with its scotching rays, i should be found standing firm because i am assured that the sun won't burn me my soul no matter what.

I try to have patience but i'm weak and scared. I need God to help me before it's too late. We are about to lose our house. Please Lord help us!!

I think james was telling us about things that would happen to us everyday,and for us to watch out and be alert and aware.Because sometimes we say or do things that we dont mean or speak to fast,and that causes problems.And like he said be paitient with god,the same way he is with you.Give GOD the most high respect.

I THINK JAMES 1:1;27 IS TELL US IS BE SLOW TO SPEAK BECAUSE YOU PROBILY HEARD SOME BODY SO SOMRTHING AND THATS NOT WHAT THEY REALLY SAID AND THE WHEN YOU SAY SOMRTHING WRONG THEY PROBILY HAVE (BEEF) OR MESS WITH YOU AND YOU JUST THOUGHT THEY SAID IS WANT YOU SAID; SO LET THEM SAY ALL WANT THEY HAD TO SAY THEN SPEAK. AND THEN DONT BE ALL COVERD UP WITH YOUR LUST BECAUSE ONE MINUTE YOU ALL SAVED FILLED WITH THE HOLY GHOST THEN YOUR NOT, BEACUSE YOU LET YOUR BEINGS COVERD EVERYTHING YOU HAD BETWEEN JESUS AND YOU AND YOU FOREGOT. SO THATS JUST MY SAYING ABOUT THIS SCRIPTURE GOD BLESS.

James, chapter 1, also teaches, that if anyone lacks wisdom, seek GOD for it, and it also a reminder, that once we seek our own desires, we are setting ourselves up for temptation, to be trapped by sin, and led to death. Whenever you allow patience to have her perfect work in your life, the word of GOD will get you through all situations in life.

James teaches me, that no matter how bad a situation you are going thru in life, you must continue to be happy or count it joy because God is still with us. God wants us to truly trust Him in all our trials. He is the only one who can work things out for our good. Jesus on one occassion, told us to give all our burdens to HIm. Too many times we are short patient with God and do things our way. We then get deeper into trouble. Just like we want God to be patient with us, WE MUST BE PATIENT WITH GOD!!

It is very inspiring and enlightens ones hopes to achieve the eternal life we are longing for.
