James 2:1-9 1 My brethren, hold not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons. 2 For if there come into your synagogue a man with a gold ring, in fine clothing, and there come in also a poor man in vile clothing; 3 and ye have regard to him that weareth the fine clothing, and say, Sit thou here in a good place; and ye say to the poor man, Stand thou there, or sit under my footstool; 4 Do ye not make distinctions among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts? 5 Hearken, my beloved brethren; did not God choose them that are poor as to the world to be rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he promised to them that love him? 6 But ye have dishonored the poor man. Do not the rich oppress you, and themselves drag you before the judgment-seats? 7 Do not they blaspheme the honorable name by which ye are called? 8 Howbeit if ye fulfil the royal law, according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself, ye do well: 9 but if ye have respect of persons, ye commit sin, being convicted by the law as transgressors. Since The Assignment (the problem Jehovah has created for you to solve) may lead to rejection by others, the process is very painful. Old friends will reject us for escaping from sin. The Christian community and secular society reject us because they think one is an outcast or it is due to racism, which is why I know that I am assigned to people who Jehovah has chosen for me to deal with: African-American congregations and the Jewish community, and African-Americans in crisis within my neighborhood...seeing that mainstream Christianity do not place any value on those who have done damage to. Since mainstream, sin-friendly Christians do not graciously accept and love those outcast, I do not see myself leave my Assignment, nor connect with anyone else the way I do for my Black and Jewish brothers and sisters. I am sticking to that...regardless!!! |
