Written to Jewish Christians scattered about A right strawy epistle Martin Luther
Was it James, James, James or James who wrote James? James the son of Zebedee (Matthew 10:2-3) AKA the brother of John James the son of Alpheaus (Matthew 10:2-3) James the half-brother of Jesus (John 7:5) James the father of Judas (Luke 6:16)
Was it James, James, James or James who wrote James? James, the son of Alphaeus and James the son of Zebedee were both apostles. The writer of James identifies himself as a servant of God but not as an apostle. James is probably written about 62 to 68 AD James, the son of Zebedee was killed by Herod Agrippa before August of 44 AD
We know the author of this book identifies himself as a bondservant of Jesus rather than an apostle. We know that James the brother of Jesus was not a believer during Jesus public ministry and therefore would not have been selected as one of the 12. Matthew 12:46-50, Luke 8:19-21, John 7:1-5 Jesus relationship with his earthly family was strained and His brothers did not believe
Why is this important to the study of the book of James? Joh 19:26-27 When Jesus therefore saw His mother, and the disciple whom He loved standing by, He said to His mother, "Woman, behold your son! Then He said to the disciple, "Behold your mother!" And from that hour that disciple took her to his own home.
Does God want us to be Happy? Jas 1:2 My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, Jas 1:3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. Jas 1:4 But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.
Joy chara G5463 gladness and rejoicing, translated as JOY 51 times in the NT. Happy Makarios G3107 is better translated blessed and is used 44 times that way and only 6 times as happy (happier) Trial peirazo G3984 test, proving, examine, tempt Perfect telios G5056 complete, of full age Complete holokleros from G3650 & G2819, complete in every part, entire, whole Lacking Nothing when used together these 2 words create a term that is from racing no race is ever won until the entire distance is covered. Not speed but endurance.
