3:1, there are teachers in the church; this is an important task in the church. The scriptures want us not to judge other, who are we to judge others, but why we judge theologians who teach VPP, because VPP is a wrong doctrine, we cannot tolerant it, because it is like a gangrene, it is like a leaven, we must study and critic VPP, test the spirit and test the teaching of VPP. Where does this teaching of VPP comes from, we must know VPP is doctrine of God or what? What spirit that working behind this doctrine, and furthermore, did this doctrine bring any benefit for the church, no, it is a chastisement for those God loved, God has allowed this doctrine to be tool to chastise the children.
3:2, the tongue is hard to tame, but James wanted his listener to control their tongue, we have to be blameless in our speech! In this we can be a perfect man, a perfect Christian, but it is seemly impossible! James said no one can tame the tongue. We are tempted, even in our speech, and continue from false speech to become a lust, and that lust continue become to a sin, and sin continue becoming a death, and at last the fire of hell is kindled in us. The tongue is full of evil! Be careful for how we talk, every word will be judged at the end!
James 3:6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.
It is better to plea for a perfect man with a perfect tongue, than plea for a perfect Bible! James 3:8 But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
Goodness is from God, thanking God, for goodness. James 3:6, those wicked words proceed from our mouth, where they came from! Surely James explained they came from the devils and demons! (John 8:44) Not from God, the evil words are from the devils! Beware! Even, devils and demons also believe in one God! But they tremble, how about us?
3:7-8, so we must tame our heart, before we can tame our tongue. (Proverbs 16:32)
3:9, man is a living creature, created by God, those who curse a man, is actually cursing God who created them! Can a fountain gives two kinds of water, sweet and bitter, no! Can our mouth bless and curse at the same time. No!
3:11-18, God is good, there is no darkness in God, if a man has a good heart, and he is kind, and he has the wisdom from God, there is mercy, there is cleanliness and peaceable, no envy and do not quarrel about words, if “yes” say yes, if “no” say no, do not like VPP, it is confusing, so pray about this, there is a strife about the VPP, where this come from?
It is from earthly, unspiritual, of the devil! If it is confusing and qarrelling! God do not confuse the Christian!
James 3:15 this wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.
Devilish. Demoniacal, such as the demons exhibit. There may be indeed talent in it, but there is the intermingling of malignant passions, and "it leads to contentions, strifes, divisions, and "every evil work."
devilish--in its origin (from "hell," Jas 3:6; not from God, the Giver of true wisdom, Jas 1:5), and also in its character, which accords with its origin. Earthly, sensual, and devilish, answer to the three spiritual foes of man, the world, the flesh, and the devil.
属地的人，是属这“世界的王＂(约一四：30 一六：11)辖制；那位王并不是仁慈的统治者，主耶稣给他清楚的画像，是满有私欲，“从起初是杀人的，不守真理，因他心里没有真理；他说谎是出于自己，因他本来是说谎的，也是说谎之人的父。＂(约八：44) 这是说，世界的王撒但，是众恶的源头，包括凶杀，虚谎。要跟他谋求和平，岂只是缘木求鱼，简直是与虎谋皮!
There are people belongs to the earth, they are control by and belong to the “king of the world” (John 14:30, 16:11). The king is not a kind ruler, the Lord Jesus gave a clear picture about Satan, it is full of lust, “John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.”
This means, the king of this world, the Satan, it is the source of many kinds of wickedness, include the murders, lies. It is impossible to be peace with Satan, it is ridiculous!
