English “world” emboldened in James 2:5 was translated from Greek masculine noun 2889 kosmos. English “world” in the New Testament has been translated from Greek noun 165 aion being an earth age, Greek noun 1093 ge being earth, Greek noun 2889 kosmos being the earth and its inhabitants, Greek verb 3195 mello  being God’s plan for the future, accurately translated into “the world to come”. English “world” in the New Testament was also translated from Greek noun 3625 oikoumene which encompasses the inhabitants of earthly kingdoms as found in Luke 2:1, Luke 4:5, Acts 11:28, Acts 17:6, Acts 19:27, Acts 24:5, Revelation 12:9 and Revelation 16:14.  Greek noun 3625 oikoumene also encompasses the inhabitants of God’s kingdom, pursuant to God’s will and future process “That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him”. Greek noun 3625 oikoumene applies to God’s kingdom of heaven in Matthew 24:14, Acts 17:31, Romans 10:18, Hebrews 1:6, Hebrews 2:5 and Revelation 3:10. The fact that English “world” has been translated from disparate Greek words, which is just another example of why 2Timothy2:15 says “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth”.

English “Hath” “chosen” emboldened in James 2:5 was translated from Greek verb 1586 eklegomai which subjectively and generically means to choose and objectively means to be chosen. When God performs the action of Greek verb 1586 eklegomai it subjectively and specifically means for God to choose “seven thousand” “elect” “election” who are chosen by God during this earth age pursuant to God’s will best defined in Ephesians 1:10 and 1Timothy 2:3-6 while more than 8 billion human beings are removed from God’s process during this earth age to protect them from Matthew 12:32 pursuant to 1Timothy 2:3-6.

English “beloved” emboldened in James 2:5 was translated from Greek adjective 27 agapetos. Greek feminine noun 26 agape is God’s intrinsic unconditional love so only God can perform the action of Greek verb 25 agapao during this earth age unto God’s “seven thousand” “chosen” “elect” “election” who will be able to superimpose God’s performance of Greek verb 25 agapao during the latter days of this earth age and especially during the “thousand years” between this earth age and the eternal age that follows. Subsequently, Greek adjective 27 agapetos describes and qualifies only God’s “seven thousand” “chosen” “elect” “election” during this earth age. 

James 2:5 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?

English “Hearken” emboldened in James 2:5 was translated from Greek verb 191 akouo which subjectively means to cause to hear God’s spiritual truth and objectively means to be caused to hear God’s spiritual truth in the same sense Greek verb 1492 eido subjectively means to cause to see through God’s spiritual eyes and know through God’s spiritual thoughts and ways and objectively means to be caused to see through God’s spiritual eyes and know through God’s spiritual thoughts and ways. The world’s 4,351 religions can not perform the action of Greek verbs 191 akouo and 1492 eido. Only God can perform the action of Greek verbs 191 akouo and 1492 eido during this earth age and only “seven thousand” “elect” “election” can superimpose God’s action of Greek verbs 191 akouo and 1492 eido during the latter days of this earth age and especially during the “thousand years” between this earth age and the eternal age that follows.

English “thoughts” in James 2:4 was translated from Greek masculine noun 1261 dialogismos from Greek verb 1260 dialogizomai both of which are from a compound of Greek preposition 1223 dia denoting the channel of an act and Greek verb 3049 logizomai which is the verb form of Greek masculine noun 3056 logos that was translated into “Word” in John 1:1 & 14 and 167 additional times into “word” throughout the King James Bible. If you are the grammatical object of a flesh human being standing behind a pulpit or flesh human social network “influencers” your “thoughts” will be flesh thoughts and feelings. If God performs the action of Greek verbs 1260 dialogizomai and 3049 logizomai God’s grammatical objects will become entirely God’s spiritual thoughts and ways.

Incidentally, English “shall” “prevent” in 1Thessalonians 4:15 was mistranslated from Greek verb 5348 phthano which subjectively means to precede and objectively means to be caused to precede so shall not prevent in 1Thessalonians 4:15 would better reflect God’s definition of Greek verb 5348 phthano as shall not precede. The events of 1Corinthians 15:50-58 and 1Thessalonians 4:13-18 are the same event as Ephesians 1:10 in the context of Ephesians 1:8-21.

English “are become” emboldened in James 2:4 was translated from Greek verb 1096 ginomai which subjectively means for the grammatical subject to cause their grammatical objects to be what their grammatical subject wants them to be and objectively means for the grammatical objects to be caused to become what their grammatical subject wants them to become. Greek verb 1096 ginomai appears 678 times in the King James Bible most insightfully translated into English “she be married to” and “should be married to” in Romans 7:3 & 4 “So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man” “Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God”. God obviously performed the action of Greek verb 1096 ginomai in the context of Romans 7:4 and connects us to the parable of the seed sower in Matthew 13:23 Mark 4:8 and Mark 4:20 in the context of Matthew 13:1-43 and Mark 4:1-34 and Luke 8:4-18 which is summarized in 2Corinthians 9:6-15 which has nothing to do with tithing to religions even though religions use it as a pretext to generate revenue. “But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully” is all about “rightly dividing the word of truth” then sowing that “truth” “bountifully”. God is the original “sower”, “The sower soweth the word”. God casts his word unto earth. Those who change their flesh thoughts and feelings in deference to God’s spiritual thoughts and ways continue in God’s process until they are entirely God’s spiritual thoughts and ways and become permanently endowed with God’s spirit [Greek neuter noun 5486 charisma]. Those who change God’s spiritual thoughts and ways in deference to their own flesh thoughts and feelings are immediately removed from God’s process and God’s temporary bestowment of God’s spirit [Greek feminine noun 5485 charis] is removed from them to protect them from Matthew 12:32 pursuant to 1Timothy 2:3-6. Greek verb 1096 ginomai was translated into “becometh” in Matthew 13:22 and 13:32 confirming that God performs the action of Greek verb 1096 ginomai and causes human beings to become what God wants where and when God wants them. Greek verb 1096 ginomai was translated into English “shall be made” in 1Corinthians 3:13 in the context of 1Corinthians 3:5-15 which refers to the end of this earth age and the beginning of the “thousand years” between this earth age and the eternal age that follows “But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up”. 1Corinthians 3:13-15 says “Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is” “If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward” “If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire”. Self professed gods such as Al Gore and John Kerry who proclaim themselves saviors of earth but are in fact, self righteous human beings who are enamored by their own flesh thoughts and feelings. This earth age will end when “seven thousand” “election” become entirely God’s spiritual thoughts and ways which has significantly less than nothing to do with Al Gore and John Kerry. Greek verb 1096 ginomai was translated into “may be made” in 1Corinthians 11:19 “For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you”. Greek verb 1096 ginomai was translated into English “shall be brought to pass” in 1Corinthians 15:54 in the context of 50-58 which is the same event as 1Thessalonians 4:13-18 neither of which have anything to do with rapture, which appears nowhere in the King James Bible. Not in English. Not in Greek. Not in Hebrew. Greek verb 1096 ginomai was translated into English “ye may be” in “That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world”. Greek verb 1096 ginomai was translated into English “it may be” in “Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself”. Greek verb 1096 ginomai was translated into English “come to pass” in “The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John”. Greek verb 1096 ginomai was translated into English “was” and “I was” in “I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ” “I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet”. God caused His apostle John to simultaneously be imprisoned “in the isle that is called Patmos” and “in the Spirit on the Lord’s day” which is yet in our future. If you believe flesh grammatical subjects can do that, you may be more than a few bricks shy of a full load.

English “yourselves” emboldened in James 2:4 was translated from Greek generic reflexive pronoun 1438 heautou that has been translated by flesh human beings into the disparate English words himself, themselves, yourselves, ourselves, his, their, itself, etcetera. Hebrew and especially Greek are reflexive languages predicated upon who is doing what to whom. In the context of James 2:4 English “Are ye” and “yourselves” could just as easily have been translated into “Are they” and “themselves” which is more logical because James appears to be differentiating “brethren” in James 2:1 and “beloved brethren” in James 2:5 from everyone other than God’s “seven thousand” “chosen” “elect” “election” “the sons of God” and “many brethren” as opposed to “”they” “them” and “themselves” being “the rest” being more than 8 billion human beings.

English “then” emboldened in James 2:4 was mistranslated from Greek conjunction 2532 kai which was 8,173 times translated into English “and” and 514 times into “also” which is correct in the context of James 2:4.

Incidentally English “pulpit” in Nehemiah 8:4 was translated from Hebrew masculine noun H4026 migdal  which was translated into English “tower” in Genesis 11:4 in the context of Genesis 11:3-9 being the “tower” of “Babel”. If people believe God is not sending them a message they may be more than a few bricks shy of a full load or may not be the brightest bulb in the lamp or may not be the sharpest knife in the drawer.
