WHY IS JESUS OWN BROTHER"S(st james) EPISTLE IS STILL REJECTED????

Very interesting to have an account of the documents from the early church, and the Eastern Orthodox churches had a most spiritual air.

Okay so Jesus brothers saw him as a master but not divine. They saw him as a human character. Okay that makes sense. If your brother was a movie, rock or sports star would you see him as something special or just your brother? If your father was President of the United States would you see him as President or just your dad? Did Mary see her son Jesus as divine or as her son? Did Mary treat Jesus any different from her other children?

In the last days there shall be doctrines of devils. HELLO

Where do you get your information from? Are these facts? One thing man messed up about God is religion.

Jesus Christ spoke against the religous people of His day. And if you believe in Jesus Christ, then that means you believe what He states about Him and God are One.

God's judgement of sin fell on God Himself in flesh which is Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ also states that many will be decieved in the last day. Jesus Christ is savior for all of mankind. He is more than just a prophet.

In context to what Jesus was saying..Not all the Jewish or Hebrew people killed the Prophets..just some of the religious leaders did that.

[SPIKEL31A]

No..your a bit confused on all this..! Paul was called OUT of the Pharisee group and worked for the Lord Jesus Christ afterwards..!

pauls claims (Acts 9:2, :and the political support he gave to the Roman emperors, show how desperate he was to destroy the Nazarene sect, the followers of the early Jesus movement, known as The Way :acts 19 :23

[bilawe]

Pauls claim to being Pharisaic is lying of the highest order. Paul was a Gnostic by the style of his own literature! He persecuted the followers of Jesus to please the heart of Popea, but when he failed; he burst into rage, inventing Christianity by preaching against the Jewish Law and the doctrines.

[SPIKEL31A]

James in Acts 15 and Acts 21..proves he was..or sided with the Pharisees..!! He was a "works watcher" legalistic law keeping Jew. Who never was a follower of Jesus while Jesus was alive..so why listen to what he had to say after Jesus was dead. James also was NOT an Apostle..one of the original 12.

The Apostle James and this man also named James were not the same "James"..!

According to Jesus, Paul is the hypocrite son of the hypocrite:"Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You shut the kingdom of heaven in men's faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let those enter who are trying to. (Matthew 23:13)

Compared with:

Then Paul, knowing that some of them were Sadducees and the others Pharisees, called out in the Sanhedrin, "My brothers, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee. I stand on trial because of my hope in the resurrection of the dead." (Acts 23:6)

[bilawe]

[29]"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you build the tombs of the prophets, and decorate the tombs of the righteous, [30] and say, 'If we had lived in the days of our fathers, we wouldn't have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.' [31] : 23:29-30

[bilawe]

[31] Therefore you testify to yourselves that you are sons of those who killed the prophets. [32] Fill up, then, the measure of your fathers. [33] You serpents, you offspring of vipers, how will you escape the judgment of Gehenna? [34] Therefore, behold, I send to you prophets, wise men, and scribes".mathew 23: 13 34 according to jesus, paul will go to Gehenna for self testifications

[SPIKEL31A]

James was "at best" only a STEP Brother to Jesus..not his brother born of Mary.

Plus James was a Pharisee or sided with them. I wish it did get rejected but it is alive and well in the Church today..
