like our Lord, or not?

Brothers and sisters, don't ever attempt to combine snobbery and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. For example, suppose a man comes into your meeting dressed in expensive clothes, and another comes in who is poor and dressed in dirty clothes. If you give special attention and a good seat to the rich man, but you say to the poor man, stand over there or sit on the floor. Doesn't that prove you are making class distinctions in you mind for evil motives. This is not good.
Stop and think about this- hasn't God chosen the poor in this world to be rich in faith. Aren't they the ones who will inherit the kingdom He promised to those who love Him. But there is some of us that have dishonoured the poor
James 2:1-6 (PM Version)

Brothers and sisters, don't ever 
attempt to combine snob-ber-y 
and faith in our Lord Yeshua
God's "LEADER OF HUMANITY"

For example, suppose a man 
comes into your meeting dressed in 
expensive clothes and white turban,
and another comes in dressed in

dirty clothes, for they are quite poor.
If you give special attention 
offer a good seat, & do more,
to (and for) the very rich man,

but say to the man who is poor, 
you can stand over there, or if...
if you must sit, then here's some floor.
Doesn't that prove you are quite stiff...

stiff-necked & hard-hearted, making 
class distinc-tions in your mind from 
self-centered motives, and faking
good ones, this makes you blind from

your evil motives. This ain't good!
Stop and think about this- hasn't 
God chosen the poor in this world 
to be rich in faith, and aren't 

they the ones who Yeshua told
who would inherit the kingdom 
He promised to those who love bold-
-ly first the God who would listen

then like that, his images too,
for they're more than his creation,
they are his own children to boot
(that he's forming to a nation).

But there is some of us that have
dishonoured the poor in our midst
because we just haven't thought of
obeying our Lord; we have winced...

& fallen back, 'stead of dashing
forward to obey his comm-and,
willing to leave our lives crashing
around us, on his word we stand!

James 2:1-6 (after PM)
