HA Bible Study: James 5:1-4

by Goldy — Sunday, 4/3/16, 6:00 am

James 5:1-4
Now listen, you rich people, weep and wail because of the misery that is coming on you. Your wealth has rotted, and moths have eaten your clothes.Your gold and silver are corroded. Their corrosion will testify against you and eat your flesh like fire. You have hoarded wealth in the last days. Look! The wages you failed to pay the workers who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty.

    Hmmmm, sounds like the only thing the Bible is right about.

    I don’t know what the Lord! is crying about. He operates tax free. His shills live in mansions and drive the best cars. The Lord! sounds more jealous than righteous.

    It doesn’t say anything about stock, so I’m off the hook. This probably means Bickle is, too. I’m not sure where this leaves Puddy with his cash sitting in no-interest bank accounts. It’s ambiguous on that point; not many people keep their coinage in gold and silver anymore. But if he doesn’t go to Hell for this reason, his Lord can cite other grounds.

    James was obviously not a prosperity Christian.

    How did gold corrode, back then? Silver didn’t even tarnish, let alone corrode, before the Industrial Revolution. God (or James) is talking bollocks.

    Verse 5: Workers burn fields just before harvest in uprising.

    Verse 6: Everyone starves to death in winter.

    @6 Liar. That’s not what it says.

    “5 You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened yourselves in the day of slaughter.[a] 6 You have condemned and murdered the innocent one, who was not opposing you.”

    Hmmm Goldy must have known about the big data dump that happened today revealing much about the rich and powerful of the world.
    There are likely some upset Russian citizens, (is the celloist playing cello for Putin, is Moscow burning?)and definitely the folks in Iceland are upset, and FIFA.
    So the rich were trying to get rents back in the day. Putting less stock in the materialism of this world, and being Christian toward others probably didn’t mean a huge life style change for the workers. Guess you rich farmers can farm your own fields. Didn’t stop the church from getting into the farming business in a big way.

    @8 but we know that Putin is a great Statesman and leader every country should have – Republicsns have told us so.

    Bullocks!
    Don’t cry to the GSM if your rightful wages aren’t paid. Take what you’ve earned plus fees & services. It is business after all.
