Things will change or at least we'll gain enough Christ to overcome so the heck with everyone else. (Eyeroll)
Oh my gosh - just skimming through the LS of James and seeing all the brainwashing and control statements. Ugh. A sister I was very close to accused everyone she knew of being controlling yet she wouldnt admit how controlling WL and the blendong bros are. It's sad.

I have not had much time to write but so many very good threads and posts.
So briefly, I have been studying (when not doing other things) the doctrine of dispensations for over a year and I have not only gotten so much insight, revelation and understanding but have grown closer to the Lord.
As an fyi, I was not around when Lee 'lectured' on James. THANK GOD ALMIGHTY!! Because even though I have read James 4 or 5 times, I never found it negative.
What I failed to realize even after reading James how many times?? I never
saw verse 1.
I am posting a link to a verse by verse study of James. I think it's pretty good. That's my opinion.
But Just a word of caution, the pastor (a you tube teacher) is dressed in a white shirt and tie. I have been reading and studying God's Word on my own for a very long time and what he teaches agrees with my spirit by and large 90% of the time. I have also emailed him with a question and he has always answered me. Not right away but within 2 weeks time.
Hearing someone else's take on a teaching can be helpful. Btw, I 'follow' 2 other 'teachers'
more than I do Robert Breaker.
Hope this video will help you.

P.S. Breaker is a King James only. I am not.
