Thank you for your testimony of faithfulness, even unto death. You are an encouragement to us all to remain firm in our convictions, no matter the cost. Your obedience to the Lord is an inspiration, and your martyrdom a powerful reminder of the price of discipleship. Thank you for your witness, and for your life of service to the Lord. We are honored to remember you.<\/p>\n
King James I’s decision to commission a new translation of the Bible in 1604 had the unintended consequence of making the Bible more accessible to the general population. Prior to this, the Bible had been largely inaccessible due to its recondite language. The new translation, however, was written in a more straightforward style that was more easily understandable. As a result, more people began to read the Bible and to form their own interpretations of its meaning. This increased democratization of the Bible ultimately led to greater religious tolerance in England.<\/p>\n
Why is one of the disciples called James the Less? <\/h2>\n
James was given the nickname “the Less” so that he would not be confused with the other Apostle named James, who’s feast we celebrate on July 25. This is because we believe that it means he was younger than the other St James, who was called “the Greater.” James the Less was the son of Alphaeus.<\/p>\n
There are three Jameses mentioned in the Bible: James, brother of Jesus; James, son of Zebedee and brother of John; and James, son of Alphaeus. All three were disciples of Jesus.<\/p>\n
Final Words <\/h2>\n
There are five men named James in the Bible. James, the half-brother of Jesus Christ, wrote the New Testament books of James, 1 Peter, and 2 Peter. James the Younger, also known as James the Just, was a leader of the early Church who was martyred in 62 AD. The other three James are less well-known: James the son of Alphaeus, James the son of Zebedee, and James the father of Jude.<\/p>\n
The Bible contains many named individuals, but there is no one named “James” specifically.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4802,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theholyscript.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2238"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theholyscript.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theholyscript.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theholyscript.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theholyscript.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2238"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.theholyscript.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2238\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theholyscript.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4802"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theholyscript.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2238"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theholyscript.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2238"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theholyscript.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2238"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
