From the Epistle of James,
in the New Testament of the Holy Bible:
From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of yours lusts that war in your members? Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.-James 4:1-3***Joseph the craftsman lived in Nazareth in Galilee, and Mary, a virgin, lived in Nazareth in Galilee. Before Joseph brought Mary into his home as his wife, Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was conceived of the Holy Spirit in Mary's womb when Mary was a virgin. When Joseph and Mary were in Bethlehem in Judea, Jesus was born into the tribe of Judah to Joseph and Mary when Mary was a virgin. Sometime thereafter, Joseph, Mary and Jesus stayed in Egypt for awhile, according to the message an angel of the Lord spoke to Joseph. After an angel of the Lord told Joseph to return, and Joseph received another divine warning, Joseph, Mary and Jesus began living in Nazareth. The divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible reveal that at least 6 other children, James, Joses (Joseph), Simon, Judas (Juda), and their unnamed sisters, also lived in the home. Approximately 30 years after Jesus was born to Joseph and Mary, Jesus was baptized in the Jordan River by Mary's relative John the Baptist, from the tribe of Levi. Jesus having prayed, the heavens tearing open, the Holy Spirit descended as a dove and lit upon Jesus. The Lord God in heaven audibly acknowledged his Son Jesus, and the Holy Spirit led Jesus into the desert wilderness. Jesus fasted for 40 days and nights and was tempted. Afterwards, Jesus was tended to by angels, and Jesus went to the area near John the Baptist, and John the Baptist proclaimed Jesus to be the Lamb of God taking away the sin of the world. In Galilee, Jesus told specific Israelite men, including Zebedee's sons James and John, to follow him, and Jesus began to preach, teach and perform miracles among the Israelites, the treasured and chosen people of the Lord God. Zebedee's son James and Alphaeus' son James became disciples and apostles of Jesus the Christ. Jesus taught revelations regarding prayer, praying, belief, asking, and receiving. Less than 3 1/2 years after Jesus was baptized, Jesus was betrayed, arrested, crucified, buried in a tomb, resurrected, seen by over 500 people, and returned to heaven. King Herod Agrippa I was responsible for the murder of Zebedee's son James. James from the household in Nazareth, or James the son of Alphaeus, or another James was divinely inspired to write a letter to Israelite believers scattered throughout the world.-Genesis 11:26-50:26, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-12:25, James
