Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - James 2:6

But ye have dishonored the poor man. Do not the rich oppress you, and themselves drag you before the judgment seats?It simply does not make sense for the church to dishonor the poor and to fawn upon the wealthy and powerful. As Calvin put it, "Why should a man honor his executioners and at the same time injure his friends?"[14]Do not the rich oppress you ...? There had been countless examples of this right there in Jerusalem, where the Sadducees, the rich party of their day, were notorious... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - James 2:7

Do not they blaspheme the honorable name by which ye are called?The obvious reference here is to the name of Jesus Christ, in the name of whom all Christians were baptized (Acts 2:38), and upon whom the name was formally declared as in the baptismal formula given in Matthew 28:18-20. Some have marveled that James did not spell out the name of Christ in this passage; but as Oesterley said, "This was due to the Jewish heritage of James."[17] "A feeling of reverence led the Jews as far as possible... read more

7. "Is it not they that blaspheme?" c. as in James 2:6 [ALFORD]. Rich heathen must here chiefly be meant for none others would directly blaspheme the name of Christ. Only indirectly rich Christians can be meant, who, by their inconsistency, caused His name to be blasphemed; so Ezekiel 36:21; Ezekiel 36:22; Romans 2:24. Besides, there were few rich Jewish Christians at Jerusalem (Romans 2:24- :). They who dishonor God's name by wilful and habitual sin, "take (or bear) the Lord's name in vain"... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - James 2:1-13

A. The Problem of Favoritism 2:1-13James’ previous reference to hypocritical religiosity (James 1:26-27) seems to have led him to deal with one form of this problem that existed among Christian Jews of his day. It is still with us today. It is the problem of inconsistent love for other people that manifests itself in how we treat them. James wrote this chapter to exhort his readers to deal with this very basic inconsistency in their lives and so progress toward spiritual maturity."The... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - James 2:6

When a Christian dishonors the poor, he or she treats them exactly opposite to the way God treats them (cf. 1 Corinthians 11:22; 1 Peter 2:17). Instead of favoring Christians, James reminded his readers that the characteristic response of the rich to them had been to oppress them (cf. Mark 13:9; Acts 4:1-3; Acts 13:50; Acts 16:19; Acts 19:23-41). How inconsistent it is to despise one’s friends and honor one’s foes! The oppression in view could have been physical and or legal. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - James 2:7

The rich not only typically oppose Christians, they also typically speak against Christ. This was true in James’ world as it is in ours. It is inconsistent to give special honor to those who despise the Lord whom believers love and serve. To blaspheme or slander (Gr. blasphemeo) means to mock deliberately or to speak contemptuously of God. Perhaps those who were blaspheming Christ’s name were unbelieving Jews (cf. Acts 13:45).
