Would Jesus agree with what His apostles wrote? Sometimes I wonder.

As I have been reading through the New Testament again I am struck by some of the contradictions between what Jesus said and what some of the disciples wrote.  In the 2nd chapter of James this struck me as a contradiction.

James 2:1-4(NKJV)

My brethren, do not hold the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with partiality. 

For if there should come into your assembly a man with gold rings, in fine apparel, and there should also come in a poor man in filthy clothes, 

and you pay attention to the one wearing the fine clothes and say to him, “You sit here in a good place,” and say to the poor man, “You stand there,” or, “Sit here at my footstool,” 

have you not shown partiality among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts?

Yes they have shown partiality and no that doesn't mean they have become judges with evil thoughts. 

Remember the Wedding banquet analogy that Jesus used?  Here is the salient point.

11 “But when the king came in to see the guests, he noticed a man there who was not wearing wedding clothes. 12 He asked, ‘How did you get in here without wedding clothes, friend?’ The man was speechless.

13 “Then the king told the attendants, ‘Tie him hand and foot, and throw him outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’

14 “For many are invited, but few are chosen.”

From <https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+22&version=NIV>

There was a guy in attendance that was poorly or not appropriately dressed and what happened to him?  He was thrown out.  And notice that Jesus didn't condemn this action when He told the parable.  So based on Jesus' parable it is apparent that sometimes it is OK, maybe even good that we make distinctions like that and there is nothing evil about it.

Let's take it a step further.  We know that we are all saved by faith so that none may boast, but that our rewards in Heaven are based on the amount of service we provide to God.  Those who are rich in service to God will be rewarded more and recognized more than those who will be poor in service to God.  We even know that there will be seats of honor in Heaven. 

Remember where the mother of James and John asked Jesus to have her sons placed on the right and left hand of God.  What did Jesus say?  "Woman, those honors are not mine to give".  Jesus acknowledged that there will be seats of honor and notice that He didn't condemn that fact that some will be shown partiality by getting seats of honor.

Is James suggesting that God is evil for rewarding and recognizing and being partial to people for outperforming others? 

Jesus or James, who you gonna listen too?
