“Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience” “But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing” “If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him” “But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed” “For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord” “A double minded man is unstable in all his ways”.
English “trying” emboldened in James 1:3 was translated from Greek neuter noun 1383 dokimion which is God’s trial and proof of servants pursuant to choosing “seven thousand” “election”. Greek neuter noun 1383 dokimion was translated into English “trying” in James 1:3-8 and into “trial” in 1Peter 1:7, both of which need to have the English flesh thoughts and feelings covering God’s intrinsic truth to be removed to reveal God’s spiritual truth contained in God’s original Greek words.
English “faith” emboldened in James 1:3 & 6 were translated from Greek feminine noun 4102 pistis which is “faith” itself. Greek feminine noun 4102 pistis and Greek verb 4100 pisteuo meaning to believe are both predicates of Greek verb 3982 peitho subjectively meaning to persuade and objectively meaning to be persuaded. Greek verb 3982 peitho was translated into English “persuaded” in Matthew 27:20 “But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus”. The “chief priests” and church “elders” were the grammatical subjects who “persuaded” their grammatical objects “the multitude” to “destroy Jesus”. The bible makes it clear that flesh human beings persuade their grammatical objects to believe and have faith in flesh grammatical subjects contradicting God’s spiritual truth rendering their belief and faith of no consequence to God. The world’s 4,351 religions use faith as a cudgel to deter questions regarding religious dogma and doctrine. We followed God’s 2Timothy 2:15-21 edict and studied every verse containing Greek words 1378-1384 in previous post: God Came To Earth In The Embodiment Of Jesus Christ To Reclaim His Authority That Was and Is Being Displaced By Religious Dogma.
