Christianity started out Jewish. But that didn't last long. Paul soon came along, and the rest is history. There was an massive influx of gentiles converting to Christianity. By virtue of population the gentiles won out, and the Jewish Christians (James - Ebionites - Nazarenes) lost.
So I find it kinda funny that we gentiles are critiquing James. A little Chinese man putting down James. Now that's funny. The brother of Jesus no less. They grew up together. Ya can't get any closer to Jesus than that. He had to know him better than any of his followers, then and now. No wonder he thought he went loony ; 'my brother said what!?!'
James stayed a good Jew. Like his brother Jesus ; that followed God's law like no one else.
You don't like it? Take it up with Jesus.
