I wrote the other
day about the inconsistencies in the Book of James regarding the rich being
stereotyped as evil. There was one line
in verse 5 that really bugged me.
"5You have lived on the earth in pleasure and luxury…."
"5You have lived on the earth in pleasure and luxury…."
Take a look at this
verse from today's reading.
Psalms 84:11(NKJV)
11 For the Lord
God is a sun and shield;
The Lord will give grace and glory; No
good thing will
He withhold From those who walk uprightly.
So if we walk
uprightly God will rewards us with many good things. Well that would make us rich wouldn't
it? In fact, that would allow us to live
in pleasure and luxury wouldn't it?
If God gives many
good things to those who walk in His way as a reward, then how can they be
considered evil? Is it James opinion
that God gives evil gifts?
Hmmm?
