Now that someone brings this passage up, I'll make a short note.
James 2:8-11
If you really keep the royal law found in Scripture, "Love your neighbor as yourself," you are doing right. But if you show favoritism, you sin and are convicted by the law as lawbreakers. For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it. For he who said, "Do not commit adultery," also said, "Do not murder." If you do not commit adultery but do commit murder, you have become a lawbreaker.
I always thought it was interesting the fact that James uses this (
"For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it.") as an argument
for the keeping of the commandments. That is, "He who said 'do not commit adultery' also said, 'do not murder' now if you do not commit adultery but do commit murder you have become a lawbreaker", so brothers [I continue], make sure to
keep the commandments; this is what basically James is saying.
I always found it interesting, as I said, that he uses it
for the keeping of the commandments and not really against them.
