A student of his father as dibentak ELEMENTARY SCHOOL home school while crying because the beaten friend: "next time you have to reply at that hard! This is our family rules: either one you need to be at her, especially if you were right! " On my father's explains: "the world is harsh, if small lose always forever be lost." Sound wise, isn't it? Is it so?
If we follow the word "envy" in verse 14 and 16, said it was not usual to envy. The term refers to "the spirit of fanaticism" that are prevalent among the zealots, who believed that violence was countered with a spiritual action defending the actions of God. This anarchist doctrines teachers spread by those who calls himself the teacher of wisdom (verse 13). James reminds the Jews being oppressed, that wisdom taught teachers zealot was coming from the world, even from the Devil (verse 15). Once the doctrine of violence was permitted, the fruit is "chaos and all kinds of evil deeds" (verse 16). Instead, the characteristics of wisdom from God is kelemah-lembutan (paragraph 13); the marked character and attitude that drains the Concord (paragraph 17); the fruit is the achievement of a peaceful community (paragraph 18).
We live in an era full of violence, even the evidence of religion was often used. The Media even had to call the country "Republic of Thugs". Let's pray for the people of God, as well as ourselves, to become agents of change: presenting the example of kelemah-lembutan in the midst of the many seeds of violence in this country; bringing peace in the midst of the exuberance of the divine seed of rebellion and crime. --ICW
