What is being spoken of is...
..."REALLY/truly fulfilling the ROYAL law" (James 2:8).
God does not speak in obscure 'code words' that REFER to something else.
He didn't 'advertise' His "depths" for all the insincere and prideful 'codefinder scholars' to find, but they can be found with a little understanding by those who wish to "draw near" and will REJECT MAMMON (there is no 'crossword puzzle' to navigate, humanity has INVENTED the art of INTERPRETATION for it's own amusement/pride to be 'master scholar' intellectuals).
Who cares whether James was ever mischievious or not? The ONLY hero is God. I care NOTHING about James. He served his purpose (that was then, this is now), but "I" have/feel no need or desire to care about him (no matter how anyone wants to rationalize,...I am arrogant). Nobody is an icon or primadonna to me. No one is a hero to me except Jesus (no one on earth gets special treatment except whom I choose).
The Godly spiritual man has the ability to DISCERN/understand the right/wrong of everything, but nobody has the authority to judge him...
2 Corinthians 2:15
"The spiritual man judges all things, but is himself to be judged by no one".
Don't be afraid to be arrogant (self confident). Other people resent arrogance because they don't have the self confidence to also be arrogant, not because it is truly bad (jealousy).
The "law of liberty" is...
...the law of....LIBERTY (the PERFECT law, "when the perfect comes, the imperfect shall pass away", 1 Corin. 13:10).
We should NOT "interpret" what God said to mean something else (do you like it when your children "interpret" what you tell them?, do you "interpret" cooking recipes, or do you do exactly as written?)...
Ephesians 5:17
"Therefore do not be foolish, but UNDERSTAND what the WILL of the Lord is".
It should be "His WILL" (desires, likes and dislikes) that we care about, but we've been taught to be preoccupied/obsessed with COMMANDS and convinced that we are inherently rebellious needing to always OBEY (leaving us no option to be righteous of our own free will conscience).
Don't OBEY or INTERPRET cooking recipes, UNDERSTAND them (the same when reading scripture).
