"Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning."
Some individuals hold the isolated interpretation that he was talking about talent, skill, which obviously is a view that contradicts James himself since it only contributes to making people "prouder". Besides, the word of Truth is not what people of their own will call "truth". That's why the world is full of "wise" people who have never asked for Wisdom; I feel untalented and embarrassed when I see someone who naturally speaks the "truth", like, "I've had to work for so long... God, why wasn't I born gifted too?".
Things get strange when that kind of "religious" person, which commonly refers to himself as "born again", successfully communicates such belief to their friends of the world: "It's easy, you know, all you have to do is trust your first thought". All of a sudden, the wicked becomes capable of thinking the "truth", as if he had just known himself, "Hey, I was a christian and a seeker, I just didn't know it". No wonder his fruitless life goes on. The proselytizer's ego is filled with "joy" though, conceited by the "power" of his vain influence.
What do you think? I think that means one thing: the word in the "religious" mind is the same. I'm sorry if I disappoint you but, yes, it's a fact, probably your favorite "christian" band is the same; they listen to the world and the world hears their thing, which already sounds familiar. So why did you think you were safe separating and devoting your ears to them? Because you're also prone to believe it can be easy, that "fearing" can keep you unspotted.
Get used to hardness and maybe you'll discover the dimension of every impossible thing.
