Actually I'm laughing at myself too. I just recently read thru James to make sure that verse was not there. I'm hard on ole Cass at times but I still love him in Christ. 
Hey did you see CountMeWorthy in that group hug? It's named after her. Where she been? |
Witness Lee took issue with "to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad". However, this does not mean that James is confused. It most likely means that his audience was, hence "a double minded man is unstable in all his ways".
If a congregation of Christians referred to themselves as "the twelve tribes" (we have groups like this in NY, including "the lost tribe", etc) it doesn't mean that I am confused in my vision because I have a burden to share with them. Just another example of shoddy scholarship by WL (though to be fair many others have had the same impression). Still it is awfully short sighted to appreciate that Paul had the ministry to the uncircumcision and then think that a ministry to the circumcision is confused and mixed.
