James
4:1 From whence come wars and fightings among you? Come they not hence,
even of your lusts that war in your members?.(?)
James 4:2 You lust and have not. You kill and
desire to have and cannot obtain. You fight and war, yet you have not,
because you ask not.
James
4:2 You lust.(original
'desire with passion to take whatever efforts to obtain', because in our
superficial erroneous and 'insane' thinking we believe this will somehow
complete us).and have not. You kill
and desire to have and cannot obtain. You fight and war.(one
of the heavier dark side things
a person could do to another is a premeditated
hurt or hurts, such as to another's body, their feelings, hopes, dreams,
finances,
aspiratiions,
etc.; if someone is hurting others in anyway, be they an individual,
a group of individuals such as corporations or governments, they lack love
for others and are selfish and even abusive:.Romans
13:10), yet you have not, because you ask not..(*)
James
4:3 You ask and receive not, because you ask amiss, that you may consume
it upon your lusts..(?)
James 4:4 You adulterers and adulteresses, know
you not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God?
James
4:4 You adulterers and adulteresses.(it
is not sensuality here meant {as the context.elicits},
but greed and worldliness generally), know you not that the friendship
of the world.(?).is
enmity
with God?
(a
lot of people trust in money and have not yet reached the place in their
existence on Earth where spiritual concerns supersede
physical identifications:.Matthew
19:23)
James 4:5 Do you think that the scripture says
in vain, The spirit that dwells in us lusts to envy?
James
4:5 Do you think that the scripture says in vain,
The spirit that dwells in us lusts.(original
is 'excessively desires').to envy?
It's saying
this is the way we are built, the way we
came here, having both a spiritual component
and a physical component. It's really all
one, just different frequencies providing for particular
functioning. The natures
we have are subject to constantly missing the mark of a higher consciousness
because of the egos we have and
in this we feel friendliest and more comfortable with those of like mind
and this tends to keep us going on the so-called hell highway. Have the
courage to step up and away toward something better:.1Peter
4:4 "Wherein they think it strange that you run not with them to the
same excess of riot, speaking evil of you."
James
4:6 But he gives more grace. Wherefore he says, God resists the
proud,
but gives grace unto the
humble.
James
4:7 Submit yourselves therefore to God.(how?).
Resist.(Ephesians
4:27 "Neither give place to the devil.".Original
word for 'resist' means to decide not to go that way, the wrong kind of
pride way as mentioned in the verse above, the way of evil toward others;
here it says to resist,
but in Matthew 5:39 says to not resist) the devil and
he will flee from you.
James 4:8 Draw near to God and he will draw nigh
to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners and purify your hearts, you.double
minded.
James
4:8 Draw near to God and he will draw nigh to you.(one
way to draw near to God is to ask Him {Matthew
7:7} to accelerate
your growth spiritually and take action where
you could). Cleanse your hands, ye.(word
'ye' {old English for 'you', not in original here).sinners.(what's
a sinner?).and purify.(how?).your
hearts.(*),
ye.(word 'ye', here
also not in original).double
minded.(no settled
principles, not clear seeing straight ahead; not grounded in the faith
yet {?}; being
of 2 minds, one negative {the monster in you; you at your worst;
the
mass mind thinking of the majority of humankind} and the higher side
of your expression, or the good you know how to be and it's your selection
of which one you'll give energy to:.Matthew
7:13,14).
James 4:9 Be afflicted and mourn and weep. Let
your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to heaviness.

4:10.Humble yourselves
in the sight of the Lord and he shall lift you up.(Acts
20:32).
James
4:11 Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaks evil of
his brother and judges his brother, speaks evil of the law and judges the
law, but if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law, but a judge..(?)
James
4:12 There is one lawgiver who is able to save and to destroy; who
are you that judges another?.(?)
James
4:13.Go
to now, you.(those
that figure they are in charge of their lives 1,
2).that
say, Today or tomorrow.(whenever
it's in.my.mind
tp decide to).we will go into
such a city and continue there a year and buy and sell and get gain.(buy
and sell to.my.advantage
only).
James
4:14 Whereas you know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is
your life? It is even a vapour, that appears for a little time and then
vanishes away.(so,
what
to do then?).
James
4:15 For that you ought to say, If
the Lord will.(or,
'if it's based on high consciousness'), we shall live and
do
this or that.
James
4:16 But now you rejoice in your boastings.(hey!
I made a lot of money buying inexpensively and selling at an unconscionable
profit:.Mark
10:15). All such rejoicing is evil.
James
4:17 Therefore to him that knows to do good.(he
knew he could have been fair in his dealings with others).and
does it not.(consumed
by his greed), to him it is sin.(what
does sin here mean?).
James
5:1.Go
to now, you rich men.(1Timothy
6:17), weep and howl for your miseries that shall come
upon you.
James

gold and silver is cankered.(corrupted).and
the rust of them shall be a witness against you and shall eat your flesh
as
it were fire. You have heaped treasure together for the last days.
James
5:4 Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields,
which is of you kept back by fraud, cries and the cries of them which have
reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord
of sabaoth.
James
5:5,6 You have lived in pleasure on the earth and been wanton.
You have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter. You have condemned
and killed the just and he
does not resist you..(tries
to do the best he can under the oppressiveness,
why?)
James
5:7 Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the
coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman
waits for the precious fruit of the earth and has long patience for it,
until he receive the early and latter rain.
James
5:8 Be you also patient. Stablish your hearts, for the
coming of the Lord draws nigh.
where's
He coming to? prepare spiritually for more of the
supply of the nature of the Creator to be in
you
James

Behold, the judge stands before
the door.

have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction
and of patience.
James
5:10 Take, my brethren, the prophets,
who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering.(original
'experienced').affliction.(original
of the compound word is 'living life', used by the Greeks
in either a good or bad sense; we're not
to suffer {Luke 6:38} through life:.1Peter
2:21).and of patience.
James
5:11 Behold, we count them happy which endure.(original
for word 'endure'
is 'abide').
You have heard of the patience of Job
and have seen the end.('the
end' means the overall purpose of).of
the Lord.(the
purpose of why the Lord);
that the Lord is very pitiful and of tender mercy.(has
great emotional kindness toward us and always has:.Deuteronomy
5:29; Ephesians 2:7; Titus
3:4).
James
5:12 But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven,
neither by the earth, neither by any other oath. But let your yea be yea
and your nay, nay; lest you fall into condemnation.(your
mouth can get you into a lot of trouble)..(?)

ones may deem as
being mature spiritually).and
let them pray over him, anointing him with oil.(prayer,
anointing and oil only?).in
the name of the Lord.
James 5:15 And the prayer of faith shall save
the sick and the Lord shall raise him up and if he have committed sins,
they shall be forgiven him.
James
5:15 And the prayer.(the
original meaning involves 'the prominent thought is that of boldness and
freedom in approach to God').of faith
shall save the sick and the Lord shall raise him up and if he have committed
sins, they shall be.("shall
be" not in original; inserted for clarity in reading, but does slightly
change the tenor;
better if it had said: 'they are forgiven').forgiven
him.
James
5:16 Confess your faults one to another and pray one for another, that
ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth
much.
James
5:17 Elias.(Luke
4:23-30).was a man subject
to like passions as we are and he prayed earnestly.(word
'earnestly' not in original Greek).that
it might not rain and it rained not on the earth by the space of three
years and six months.(compare.1Kings
17:1)..(?)
James
5:18 And he prayed again and the heaven gave rain and the earth brought
forth her fruit.
James 5:20 Let him know, that he which converts
the sinner from the error of his way saves a soul from death and hides
a multitude of sins.
James
5:20 Let him know, that he which converts.(he
or she who is instrumental
perhsps through prayer {Matthew 6:6},
in awakening him or her to being a better person, that is, instrumental
in getting him or her to move from low consciousness and onto the pathway
of higher consciousness).the sinner
from the error of his way.(walking
the normal way of selfishness
the ego puts out from its ordinary consciousness base that hurts us down
the road the longer we stays on that low road of life:.Galatians
6:8).saves a soul from death.(death
is where the low road of life takes a person toward his end because death's
open doors allow for influencing by the
dark side).and hides.(covers,
how?).a
multitude of sins..(also
