Week 2 of the Adult Bible Class teaching on the Fall of Man and the consequential spiritual death of man.

James teaches how the believer's response should operate, giving the proper framework upon which the principles and protocols of the Doctrine of Trials & Tribulation are to be implemented.

After giving believers an understanding of the protocols and processes necessary in order to endure trials and overcome the Process of Testation, James goes into a discourse concerning the sphere in which these protocols are to be used. Listen in as the first part of James 1:19 sets up the how of utilizing what God prescribes to overcome testation and endure trials while James continues to identify what True Spirituality looks like.

Part two of verse 18 identifies the object God used to guide the diaspora into salvation. Jesus said, "The truth shall set you free" and God used a message of truth concerning who He is and the condition man finds himself in when in his natural state. Through educating humanity with a message of truth (Jesus' lived out testimony of God and man on earth), God's plan is revealed to include clarification concerning who He is and man's purpose in having been created.

James enters into his final portion of his discourse providing the mechanics of how to defeat the Process of Testation within the believer's life. James 1:18 teaches a number of important principles which, when remembered and depended upon, allow the believer to remain in fellowship with God while being tempted to sin. Understanding this process allows believers to effectively combat sin in their life. Part 1 of verse 18 teaches the principle of God's will toward individuals in bringing them to salvation.

The character of God is the foundation of His promises. Knowing God leads to knowing love and keeping His commandments. Scripture says that God has revealed Himself through creation, but also God has provided a visible manifestation of His likeness which all humanity is able to witness. This lesson teaches on the Character of God and the visible representation He provided.

The conclusion of verse 17 undergirds the foundation taught by James upon which the diaspora and believers are able to combat the Process of Testation. This undergirding of the mechanics necessary to defeat testation is the character of God. James identifies God's character as immutable and unable to be eclipsed. Tune it to find out the details.

James 1:17 contains within it part of the mechanics necessary for defeating the Process of Testation. In this second expedition further into verse 17, James reveals the Source of good and complete gifts. In doing so, he reveals necessary information in the battle against Satan & Company's counterfeit merchandise, further bolstering the command in verse 16 for the diaspora to STOP(!) being seduced by counterfeit merchandise.

Back to the study on James we move into part two of the mechanics and truths necessary for defeating the Process of Testation. James 1:17a deals with recognizing the deception in the Process of Testation and the source of those things which possess natural, inherent value.

Part two of this brief study on the Operational Framework of Humanity focuses largely on man's heart and man's conscience. Understanding the role each play's in the believer's walk allows the believer to deal effectively with sin within their relationship to God. Topics discussed include the Data Evaluation Principle, The Heart of Man, The Conscience of Man, Man's Volitional Property, and the Heart of Man Equation.
