#BibleStudy (#RawMaterialScripture) #TheBookOfJames (with the famous 'Don't Stop at "Hearing" The Word'-verse of #James) | @onomast @theBibleHub @CopelandNetwork @BibleGateway

'That name' (of a brother of Jesus, a king who oversaw an early English-translation of The Bible ... a few of my relatives, a few of my friends, a few famous performers ... below-hyperlinked to my list of Bible-books) is built on an even-deeper source ... something crucial that firms the foundation upon which our lexicon stands ...

The name “James (practically identical to #Jacob)” #Jim #Jimmy #Jamie #Jameson #Jay #Jem #Jemmy #Jimi, #Jimmie #Jae #Jaye #Jacklyn #Jaclyn #Jacqueline #Jacquelyn #Jakes #Iakob #Iacobus #Yakov #Jago #Coos #Kobe #Iago #Séamus #Sheamus #Jaime -- is from the Hebrew  יַעֲקֹב (Ya'aquov)–built on ancient words that mean "the Holder of the |Heel" (as he was born 'holding twin-brother |Esau's heel') or "the |Supplanter" (as he twice stole his slightly-older brother's inheritance)– 
and is said to be derived from the hypothetical יַעֲקֹבְאֵל (Ya'aqov'el) meaning "& |May |God |Protect".

some of the 'raw material' of "shared scriptures" from James:
1:22
Be but doers Intent and not hearers only, deluding yourselves.
1:23
Because if anyone hearing Intent is and not doing, they are like men looking at face the natural them in mirror,
1:24
detected for them and left and immediately forgot how t'was.
1:25
Who but examined into Law complete, the the released, and remaining, and not hearer negligence becoming, but work-doers---ones blessed in the work they are.
The birthday-'redemptorandum' sent to me by BVOV Ministries included the #KJV (I suppose) of James 1:22-25 ... which they summarize as "I am a HEARER & DOER of God's Word. THE WORD says I am healed, SO I AM.
Not to 'dissent against The Word of God,' but this does remind me how 'most of The Bible after-The-Gospels' (mostly 'the Epistles') seems to be more about The Promise & less about The Process.

Shepherd's Chapel's usual introduction calls The Bible "God's letter to you." (I've sometimes mistakenly remembered it 'God's love-letter to you'—maybe because of that whole 'God is Love'-doctrine.) So I guess I regard the Epistles as "whitewashed invitation brochures" (like they have for Universities & business-seminars ... telling you about all the good stuff that success might bring, but staying quiet about the hard work & worry & luck needed to overcome the repeated failure you go through).
