So, James had a lack of faith? That's why he was murdered. That's interesting.
NO, your saying Faith don't matter, I have scripture to prove otherwise.
Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens. Women received their dead raised to life again: and
others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection:
(Heb 11:33-35)
did you read the part AGAIN........ sigh...................... about not accepting deliverance? I hope it sinks in this time.
Also, who knows what James believed and why did you even bring it up? Just because your a believer, does not mean your not full of unbelief, I mean look at yourself, a good example of this.
James, the son of Zebedee (Johns Brother) was killed by Herod............... Secular Records show (not that I care anything about secular records) Around 44 ad.
There is little information on James, but that he was an apostle and the brother of John. I don't know what he believed, Scripture does not tell us what he believed. Don't know if He was going after that better resurrection, just don't know.
If any of the writers were killed early without finishing their race, then I would say you have a point. They all died of old age, each one finished everything God called them to do.
We don't know much about the other Apostle James, Son of Alphaeous. He is only mentioned a couple of times.
The most prominent James who Jude addressed as brother and Servant of God and the Lord Jesus Christ, which the Writer James also gave himself the same title, it is not known what happened to him. Most believe this was the Lord's brother, and not part of the other 2 originals.
If your going to be a Pastor, start taking heed to the scriptures. If Jesus told us nothing by any means shall hurt you, then you better believe that despite the 100 that did not make it.
