      @@JesusLordOfLords455 it does not. They go hand in hand. It is not works that saves us, but faith. However, genuine faith leads to a renewed person, which leads to obedience, which leads naturally to works. It’s simply the natural course of living your life in surrendering to God. Instead of being “my works saved me” it is “because of what you’ve already done for me, I will do my works.” The lack of that change just blatantly shows that nothing has changed for the person, and that they merely made an in the moment emotion driven choice, or they think that just saying they believe will save them, but that’s not the case. Remember that Jesus said “depart from me, for I never knew you” to people who called Him teacher, not unbelievers.

      ​@@josephbelov6212 literally the whole letter of James oppose to the teachings of Paul.
      Paul teaches the message of faith, and just with faith you'll get salvation, faith alone without work.
      But James teaches to work and follow the will of god that were taught by Jesus, and says that faith alone is like no faith, to have faith you have to do the works.
      And (Matthew 7:21-23) perfectly describes teachers as paul and their followers.
      "Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ And then will I declare to them, I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness."

      @GizmoFromPizmo 2 года назад

      I hate to do this to you because it's not fair and kind of off-topic but James wrote one of THE MOST anxiety producing verses of the bible: "Now to him that knows the good he ought to do and does not do it, to him it is sin." (See James 4:17)
      If that verse doesn't keep you under eternal condemnation then NOTHING will. Who can honestly say that he's doing everything he can 24/7? It's the stuff of psychosis. Indeed, God Himself cannot save you from such sin.
      John talks about the "sin unto death". I think James defines it. Paul talks about freedom from sin but James is the master of putting you right back in bondage.

      @@Esico6 I can say the same! I had "lost" my job in a strange circumstance 4 months ago and it had made me anxious and worried about my future. But I remember the Lord will always take care of us which made me choose to trust in Him. In my time of struggle with trusting and worrying like on and off switch and lots of tears, I was reading psalms to remind me how great God is and He will take care and provide to those who put faith in Him. While unemployed, I was being provided small income as a freelancer. Now I have got the full time job after few months. It was not a easy journey but having faith make it so worth it. So praise and glory be to God!

      @@GizmoFromPizmo "Who can Honestly say he's doing everything he can, 24/7? It's the stuff of psychosis. Indeed, God Himself cannot save you from such sin."
      I'm sorry you believe that. I think that Jesus teaches otherwise.
      "Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.” When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and asked, “Who then can be saved?” Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
      Matthew 19:24‭-‬26 NIV
      Nobody can do their all 24/7. That's the entire point of Jesus coming to save us- because we ourselves cannot. James 2:10 says anyone who breaks even one part of the law is guilty of breaking all of it. Paul writes that the wages of sin is Death but God's gift is eternal life in Jesus. Peter writes that Jesus bore our sins in His body on the cross.
      Jesus paid for all sin, once for all.
      James' point here is not "If you miss your chance to do something good you're eternally condemned". His point is to encourage us to live out our faith in our actions. If you've been forgiven and loved by Jesus, and you love Him and call Him Lord, you'll serve Him by serving those in need. I pray that you find encouragement in the Gospel, and be free from your anxiety.

    The letter of St. James is my favorite place in scripture, and that’s tough to claim as there is so much to love. But James - Jacob - is a great floor plan for living a Christian life. I know it by heart because I read it everyday before my evening reading of the Holy Bible (wherever I am at the time) and it’s always uplifting. Before my morning reading I always latch onto a Psalm.

      Galatians 6:7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap
      Exodus 20:4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
      Isaiah 45:20-22 Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together, ye that are escaped of the nations: they have no knowledge that setup the wood of their graven image, and pray unto a god that cannot save.
      Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time? Who hath told it from that time? Have not I the LORD? And there is no God else beside me; a just God and a saviour there is none beside me.
      Look unto me, and be saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God and there is none else.

    I grew up catholic but I no longer am, I don’t have a religion I have a relationship with Christ. I went to Catholic school to ten years and I got taught the Bible a different way. Now I’m doing my own bible studies myself and a separate one with my best friend. I’m still trying to separate my catholic beliefs from the actual truth from God. I was taught that Mary was a Virgin and Jesus had zero siblings. Can someone please help me out on this one cause I’m very confused. Thank you and love all these videos❤️

    • @yoyohanaBR
      @yoyohanaBR 4 года назад +1

      The catholic church teaches that Jesus did not have brothers to support the belief that Mary was an immaculate (virgin) saint. But think about the context of the time → Mary was engaged to Joseph, both Jews, and received the message that she would be the mother of the Messiah. Okay, she had the Messiah and through a miracle of the Holy Spirit, which made her give birth even if she was a virgin.
      But she did not remain a virgin. After all, she was engaged to Joseph, and we all know how the marriage was consummated in the past. Moreover, we have the fact that for a jewish woman, especially at that time, it was an honor to have many children. How can Mary, a Jewish married woman, not have other children? The gospels and biblical historians also can confirm Jesus' other (half) brothers.
      Hope you can keep your Bible studies and I pray to the Lord that he can show himself more and more through his beautiful word
      Here a little verse from Hoseah 6: 3 to encouraging:
      “So let us know and become personally acquainted with Him; let us press on to know and understand fully the [greatness of the] Lord [to honor, heed, and deeply cherish Him].
      His appearing is prepared and is as certain as the dawn,
      And He will come to us [in salvation] like the [heavy] rain,
      Like the spring rain watering the earth.”
      Sorry for any mistakes, English is not my first language! Stay in peace!

    James 4 really speaks to me with such classics as "draw near to God and He will draw near to you," "resist the devil and he must flee," and "cleanse your hands...and purify your minds ye double-minded." (honorable mention: "you do not have because you do not ask" - I personally wince at this one because it was used improperly over me by a false teacher - but God is GOOD!)

    I'm glad I found these cartoons. They're funny, but they're also good because they explain the books of the Bible in a way that's easy to understand. This make reading the Bible fun (or at least interesting and a lot less of a chore that I 'should' do).
    There are some hard parts and a lot of sad, offensive and outrageous parts of the Bible. Just like there's sad, offensive and outrageous people in the world.
    At times the Bible is hard to understand and trying to fit one part to the next part, or to the previous part gets confusing. It's really nice to have these videos. Sometimes the simplest is the best.

    • @SylvEdu
      @SylvEdu 4 года назад +16

      I'm afraid not. There is a lot of debate as to the relationships Jesus had with the rest of his family because of ambiguous Greek and Aramaic wording and idioms. For instance, they describe James (Jacob) in this video as being Jesus' half-brother, assuming him to be a younger son of Mary and Joseph. The earliest traditions reject this, though, and the Catholic and Orthodox churches consider it blasphemy. Other proposals are that James was an older step-brother of Jesus -- Joseph's son by another marriage, from which he became a widower. Still another proposal is that James was a cousin of Jesus by Joseph's brother Clopas and his wife "the other Mary." It wouldn't be the first time a cousin is referred to as a brother in the Bible, because the scriptures use the same word to describe literal brothers as well as cousins, nephews, uncles, and other kinsmen.

    • @meowgaetan7159
      @meowgaetan7159 4 года назад +4

      If you read 1 Chronicles, it lists the genealogy that leads to Jesus. Just not entirely to the end to when Jesus is born. But the first 5 books of NT should say a lil bit more of it as well.

    • @yoyohanaBR
      @yoyohanaBR 4 года назад +4

      @kacangbumbu987 perfectly put. People seem to forget the fact that Mary and Joseph were Jewish... Actually, that Jesus and his disciples were Jewish. Peter had a mother in law so he was married... Mary and Joseph were engaged and, in that the time and context, why would they not have any other children?
      But why those details aren't mentioned in the books? Well, I don't think knowing who Jesus second or third brother is important to our salvation xD
      Maybe in the coming kingdom we will all know something~
