Sorry but sin isn't James' focus. He's addressing Jewish Christians here. There's nothing in chapter 2 about a requirement to keep the law. He's telling those who claim they do they must keep it all. Fact is no one does according to Jewish Scripture (OT). James is clearly not requiring works of the law.Works of the law aren't called fruit anywhere.
If God's LAW (10 Commandments) are the KNOWLDGE of GOOD and EVIL, what do you think MATTHEW 7:16-23 is talking about? Of course JAMES is talking about sin read JAMES 2:8-12 and 1 JOHN 3-4 and what PAUL says in ROMANS 3:20 and ROMANS 7:7

Thank you. It's nice to know there are others like me.

I think there are quite a few here sister LaBèlla, floating around the place. I think we are the minority however. It's so nice to meet you to. :)

INDEED as posted earlier, that is the purpose of God's LAW it is the mirror that helps us to see our need of a Savior because we are all sinners in need of God's salvation. God's ETERNAL LAW (10 Commandments) give us the KNOWLEDGE of SIN when broken *ROMANS 3:20. God's 4th Commandment is one of God's 10 commandments. God's WORD says that if we break any one of God's 10 commandments we stand guilty before God of SIN *JAMES 2:10-11.

All those who CONTINUE in KNOWN UNREPENTANT SIN will not enter into the KINGDOM of HEAVEN *HEBREWS 10:26-27 because they reject the gift of God's dear son *ROMANS 6:23. OBEDIENCE to God's LAW is not how we are saved it is the FRUIT of God's work in us as we BELIEVE and FOLLOW his WORD. If our faith has no fruit it is dead *JAMES 2:18-20; 26 and our tree will be cast down and thrown into the fire *MATTHEW 3:10; 7:19-20; 13:49-50.

In times of IGNORANCE God winks at but when a KNOWLEDGE of the truth has come God calls all men everywhere to REPENT *ACTS 17:30-31.
Maybe for some. It wasn't the case for me. God got me before the age of 12. I had no idea why I needed a Savior. A sweet lady teaching children said I needed one and I said OK.

Brother, If your mirror is lost or broken how do you know how you are? Or if your lamp has gone out how can you find your way when the road is dark or narrow?

Read verse 5.

Here you go let me help...

FORTOLD IN THE OLD AND NEW TESTAMENT SCRIPTURES….

DEUTERONOMY 30:6 [6] And the LORD your God will CIRCUMCISE YOUR HEART AND THE HEART OF YOUR DECENDENCE, TO LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART AND WITHYOU’RE YOUR SOUL, THAT YOU MAY LIVE.

JEREMIAH 4:4 [4] CIRCUMCISE YOURSELF TO THE LORD, AND TAKE AWAY THE FORESKINS OF YOUR HEART, you men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem: lest my fury come forth like fire, and burn that none can quench it, because of the evil of your doings.

DEUTERONOMY 10:16 [16] CIRCUMCISE therefore THE FORESKIN OF YOUR HEART, and be no more stiff-necked.

NEW COVENANT FULFILLMENT of the SHADOWS of the CEREMONIAL ORDINANCE of CIRCUMCISION pointing the CIRCUMCISION of the HEART through faith in Christ…

ROMANS 2:25 [25] For circumcision verily profits, if you keep the law: but if you are a breaker of the law, your circumcision is made uncircumcision. [26], Therefore if the uncircumcision keeps the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision? [27], And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfils the law, judge you, who by the letter and circumcision do transgress the law? [28], FOR HE IS NOT A JEW, WHO IS ONE; NEITHER IS THAT CIRCUMCISION, WHICH IS OF THE OUTWARD FLESH: [29], BUT HE IS A JEW WHICH IS ONE INWARDLY; AND CIRCUMCISION IS THAT OF THE HEART, IN THE SPIRIT AND NOT IN THE LETTER; WHOSE PRAISE IS NOT OF MEN BUT OF GOD.

1 CORITHIANS 7:19 [19] CIRCUMCISION IS NOTHING, AND UNCIRCUMCISION IS NOTHING, BUT THE KEEPING OF THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD.

This is the operation of GOD in the NEW COVENANT…

HEBREWS 8 [10], For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord; I WILL PUT MY LAWS INTO THEIR MINDS, AND WRITE THEM IN THEIR HEARTS: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people

James is talking about the law of liberty we have, which isn't the law of Moses. Yes verses 9-11 address the law. He says we'll be judged by the law of liberty in 12.

You never say anything about Rom 7:6.

Here you go making false statement again. I'm led by the Spirit - Gal 5:18 and I walk in the Spirit 5:16 because I abide in Jesus and He abides in me - Jn 15. I don't live in and by the covenant given only to Israel in the desert after departure from Egypt.

James is talking about the law of liberty we have, which isn't the law of Moses. Yes verses 9-11 address the law. He says we'll be judged by the law of liberty in 12.

Of course it does God's LAW (10 commandments) define what GOOD and EVIL; SIN and RIGHTOUESNESS is *ROMANS 3:20; ROMANS 7:7; 1 JOHN 3:4; PSALMS 119:172 e.g..

MATTHEW 15:19 [19], For out of the heart proceed EVIL thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies.

Not consider the above with..

MATTHEW 7:17-23
[17], Even so every good tree brings forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree brings forth evil fruit.
[18], A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
[19], Every tree that brings not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
[20], Wherefore by their fruits you shall know them.
[21], Not every one that said to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that does the will of my Father which is in heaven.
[22], Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in your name? and in your name have cast out devils? and in your name done many wonderful works?
[23], And then will I profess to them, I never knew you: depart from me, you that work SIN.

Of course it does. The CONTEXT of ACTS 15 is asking the question "IS CIRCUMCISION A REQUIREMENT OF SALVATION" *ACTS 15:1-2.

CIRCUMCISION is a SHADOW law from the MOSAIC BOOK of the OLD COVENANT *EXODUS 24:7 not God's ETERNAL LAW (10 commandments) that give us the KNOWLEDGE of what SIN is when broken *ROMANS 3:20. CIRCUMCISION was a shadow law of the OLD COVENANT the points to a NEW HEART by FAITH *DEUTERONOMY 30:6; JEREMIAH 4:4; DEUTERONOMY 10:16; ROMANS 2:25; 1 CORITHIANS 7:19 which is the NEW COVENANT promise *HEBREWS 8:10-12

The verse says keep the law of Moses, which means the entire contents of the first 5 books of the OT also called the Book of the Law known as the law of Moses.

Indeed, CIRCUMCISION was a part of the SHADOW laws from the MOSAIC BOOK of the law *DEUTERONOMY 31:24-26; EXODUS 24:7 not one of God's 10 Commandments.
