James 1:5 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.
English “If” emboldened in James 1:5 was correctly translated from Greek conjunction 1487 ei which is a primary particle of conditionality. Human beings like to claim all God’s bible promises while ignoring God’s conditions. There was a flesh Old Testament/covenant/contract between God and the Israelites. There is a spiritual New Testament/covenant/contract between God and God’s “seven thousand” “chosen” “elect” “election”. You can go to any good King James Bible search engine and type in God’s conditional English word “if” and the search engine will tell you that God’s English conditional word “if” appears 1,595 times in 1,420 verses in the KJV. When we get to James 1:17 God will explain to us how and why self proclaimed born again Christians preclude themselves from God’s contractual conditions and from God’s Kingdom. Please note that I did not say they preclude themselves from heaven during this earth age. They just preclude themselves from God’s kingdom. The British Monarchy inhabits a tiny part of the county of England, God’s “election” “they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years” and inhabit a tiny part of heaven. There is no locative noun hell. There is only a concept of hell conceived by flesh thoughts and feelings which the tongues of men then instigated and perpetuated. God has disabused the false narrative hell in prior posts and will reiterate his truth in posts of James 3:6 to follow.
