Good so the scripture stands.
The scriptures are clear, what you choose to ignore is your own issue.
Do you have A PROBLEM with the LAW being against sin and evil?
?
I have made it clear, that I uphold the law and its true unbending standard. It is those who bring the law down and into parts that dishonor the law. But the law has no power to deliver someone from sin.
Ro 6:14
For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
And NO ONE has claimed the Law has any power to save one from sin. The Law defines sin, it is the standard by which our actions are judged...
Jas 4:11 Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.
Jas 4:12 There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another?
No, it is the strength of sin and causes sinful lust and desires in those who are under its yoke.
Ro 7:5 For when we were in the flesh,
the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.
6 But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held;
that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.
7 ¶ What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said,
Thou shalt not covet.
8
But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead.
Well what has this scripture to do with your point? James is speaking of the "royal law" of Love.
Jas 2:8 ¶
If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:
9 But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors.
10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.
11 For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law.
12 So speak ye, and so do,
as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.
Ro 13:8 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another:
for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.
9 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
10 Love worketh no ill to his neighbour:
therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
