Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment seats? Do not they blaspheme that worthy name by the which ye are called?

satan wants to deceive the hearts of the simple, as he cant deceive anybody else.
So, again and again, God gives us warning, how to avoid the deceiver who causes offences contrary to the doctrine of godliness.
The deceiver spirit, gives good words and fair speeches, and are not really servants of Christ, they are the false apostle/teachers, as warned and revealed about.
We already have obedience to Christ, why do they try to teach with deception, when the false prophet is finished and cannot teach any man any more ?
Romans 16:17 Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.
18 For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.
19 For your obedience is come abroad unto all men. I am glad therefore on your behalf: but yet I would have you wise unto that which is good, and simple concerning evil.
20 And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.
Notice carefully then, this is where the true Apostles, can be identified from the seducing spirit. Apostle Paul taught all things from Christ already, only a presumptuous assumption maker, continues to teach as if they have revelations from Christ, when they contradict and disagree to all the right ways of the Lord.
So Paul taught the Gentiles, who are sanctified by the Holy Ghost..
Romans 15:16 That I should be the minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Ghost.
We understand Christ proved for us about Apostle Paul, and who are these who teach as if they have right to teach every man their neighbour ?
But, we understand the testimonies of the Gospel, show the righteousness together, of the ministering of the spiritual to the Gentiles, they then minister to the carnal fruits..
Romans 15:26 For it hath pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor saints which are at Jerusalem.
27 It hath pleased them verily; and their debtors they are. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, their duty is also to minister unto them in carnal things.
28 When therefore I have performed this, and have sealed to them this fruit, I will come by you into Spain.
Again Paul reveals how sowing to them of the spiritual, reaps the carnal fruits..
1 Corinthians 9:11 If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we shall reap your carnal things?
In the same 1 Corinthians 9, the spiritual must be with the carnal fruits, or the meaning is not revealing at all ( that is how far satans wisdom of this world goes)
We being under the law to Christ, strive to be temperate in all things, to obtain unlike the corrupted deceivers, an incorruptible crown, to keep under our body and bring it always into subjection, but the deceiver teacher confesses they cannot avoid being castaways ( so much for giving of wealth and giving evil by sinning against your neighbour, at the same offerings)..
1 Corinthians 9:21 To them that are without law, as without law, (being not without law to God, but under the law to Christ,) that I might gain them that are without law.
22 To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some.
23 And this I do for the gospel's sake, that I might be partaker thereof with you.
24 Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.
25 And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.
26 I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air:
27 But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.
This is why 2 Corinthians contains vital wisdom of the Lord, the seed sown is your spiritual seed, and the fruits of your righteousness not only contain giving of what we have, but most importantly, not giving of any evil committing sins if we thank and glorify the Lord correctly, sincerely, wholly and fully..
2 Corinthians 9:10 Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;)
11 Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God.
12 For the administration of this service not only supplieth the want of the saints, but is abundant also by many thanksgivings unto God;
First we notice, when it comes to the testimony of glorifying God, we suffer jointly with Christ ( nowhere to lay His head) and we notice those called have to be justified, to both be glorified and to glorify the Lord ( being unjust blasphemes His Holy Worthy name)
Romans 8:17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
Romans 8:30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.
Hebrews 10:38 Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.
Then God in His mystery's, makes distinction, how the rich are not chosen, as God has chosen the poor, rich in faith, as rich men blaspheme that worthy name by which we are called..
James 2:5 Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him?
6 But ye have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment seats?
7 Do not they blaspheme that worthy name by the which ye are called?
Again, how hardly do the rich make it to Heaven, how about never:
Mark 10:21 Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.
22 And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions.
23 And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!
24 And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answereth again, and saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God!
25 It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
