James 2: 2 Commentary

PASTOR FOR MONEY (This one’s for you Sir!)

I told him back then , sir the BALL is in your hand!And now again I told him once again, the BALL is in your hand!But he still ignored and glossed over it!Back then THE PASTOR SAID,” NO HOLDS BARRED: what is sin will be declared as sin and what is TRUTH will be declared as Truth.”Show me the truth and I will preach the Truth no matter what the consequences! But boy, after more than twenty years he still refused to be convinced and tell the TRUTH! He is busy with the ministry he said. Is he aware of his failings?

I REMEMBERED IT WELL…how the pastor called for volunteers to repair the house of one rich member…but how he failed to do the same for a poor member sick in the hospital…and just recently, yes just recently he did one more bias choosing:

The Church split because of many problems…and then they also split the local church in my place and I suspect it was who among them that leads will get the LION SHARE of the funding from the brethren from the United States. And the Pastor choose the rich members to his side…he called them up…visited them like they were good “Christians” while the poor, oh I think he did not have use for the poor brethren…why bother for the poor…they will just consume and be in need of help and not contribute to the MONEY money money!

They say like Gaga:
…And P.
You Ready.
[Verse 1:]
Seems like everybody’s got a price,
I wonder how they sleep at night..
When the sale comes first,
And the truth comes second,
Just stop, for a minute and
Smile!
Why is everybody so serious?!
Acting so damn mysterious,
You got your shades on your eyes.
And your heels so high
That you can’t even have a good time…
…It’s not about the money, money, money,
We don’t need your money, money, money.
We just wanna make the world dance,
Forget about the price tag…

Ah these people…living in artificial environment… in church to socialize and compare plumage…and study the Bible superficially…having the form but no the substance…yes they did many good things and positive things in the Church…the problem is with those who lead…it is okay to be imperfect as leaders…but when leaders leads for money what is that? Yes leaders too need money, muzzle not the oxen…but the love of it more than being lovers of God, what is that?

1 Timothy 6:10 For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. And some people, craving money, have wandered from the true faith…

2 Timothy 3:2 For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money…

James : 2 verses:

1My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons.

2 For if there come unto your assembly a man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment;

3 And ye have respect to him that weareth the gay clothing, and say unto him, Sit thou here in a good place; and say to the poor, Stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool:

4 Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts?

5 Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him?

6 But ye have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment seats?

7 Do not they blaspheme that worthy name by the which ye are called?

8 If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:

9 But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors.

10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all
