Who is Lost?

The Book of James

 

Gentle Reader,

 Somehow I got mixed up so here is something for you to think about while I find the "right stuff"

Can you Understand this?

Lest those, who having read this may feel that they have been robbed of so much that is precious in the Word - so much from which they derive comfort and help, It should be clear that while various books and parts of Scripture are definitely ADDRESSED TO different companies of people at different times we MUST distinguish between; the interpretation and application of the Word

As an example of what is meant by reading the address on the envelope turn to the Epistle of James:

"James, a servant of God, and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad". (One hears about the ten tribes which were "lost" but here James sends a greeting to the whole twelve). The Epistle to the Hebrews was addressed to the Hebrews who are said to be "partakers of the heavenly calling" (Heb.3:1), unlike the Jewish Nation who have an earthly one.

To be continued....
