James 2:20 KJV
But wilt
thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
Who is he?
He is a supposed man
I do not believe there is anyone
in particular James is referring to. This isn't a rebuke leveled toward any one
person but is a rhetorical tool. One who would meet these conditions would be
vain.
He is a prejudiced man
His prejudice is against
those who are without. There are very few prejudices that are more commonly
accepted than this; those who have believe they have a right to think of
themselves as better than those who haven't. Those who haven't very often have
been conditioned to think of themselves as below those who have.
He is an empty man
·
His hopes to
gain from his prejudices will come up empty
·
His hopes to
earn future heavenly rewards will come up empty
·
His hopes
for respect from God because of his position will come up empty
