Showing POSITIVE Preference S7e10 James2:8

Be With Me: 7 Minutes of Biblical Wonder

James couldn't be stronger in his condemnation of treating people badly based on external factors. He uses the shabbily dressed poor as an example. It could have been dishonoring them based on country of origin, age, smoking, vaccine status, or anything else that really doesn't matter. It demonstrates a wrong view of people;a wrong view of God's activity; and even a wrong view of the character of God.
He evokes the "royal law": Love your neighbor as yourself. We all know we love ourselves plenty; even PREFERENTIALLY. We show POSITIVE PREFERENCE to ourselves as an example. We should be showing POSITIVE partiality to all those who are not-like-me. We should be treating the "not-MEs" as I treat ME.
