Difference between spiritual and the ethnic.
Ethnically they were still Jews.
I am sure they also still identified as Jews.
Do you think they had access to Paul's letters.
! do not know who taught you this, but with your view you take away vital and important spiritual teaching for believers stating it is for some post tribulation saints.

One of the most idiotic things I have read on this site.....try again and this time read the book with your eyes open....especially the fact they are told the trial of their FAITH IS PRECIOUS.....
Sometimes the drivel you post astounds me........there is NEITHER JEW nor GREEK pal in the N.T. and THEIR faith is addressed in this book
MY BRETHERN, HAVE NOT THE FAITH OF JESUS CHRIST, the LORD with respect of persons.
You are out of your mind if you think the above POST is NOT directed at BELIEVERS and or CHRISTIANS (so called)

Spiritual teaching, yes, doctrinal teaching, no. Yes we can glean helpful teachings from James, but doctrinally it’s to a different audience, the twelve tribes.
When James says, “Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door,” I take that as a true statement for the intended audience. That’s not true for us. Paul says Christ is seated at the right of the Father.

It sounds like CC to me lol. Look we all sin, we all fight amongst each other and say hurtful things like "you're not saved". Some Christians are more mature in the Lord than others and they can't manage their tongues as well as others.
If you take those verses in context, James is still talking to the same audience that have faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. If it's not then when did the audience change to non-believers?
Jas 2:1 My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons.

To whom is James addressing here? Rich Christians? Last days?
1 Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you.
2 Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten.
3 Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.
4 Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth.
5 Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter.
6 Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you.

Amen! Offering up Isaac on the altar was a demonstration of his faith and not the origin of it. 
Just like we can see the growth of Rose openly on this site......she came in here unsure, struggling, etc. and over the time she has been here she has grown in her faith, has become rock solid in her posts, has grown in understanding etc......it is cool to watch live HAHAH

HE also addresses the trial of their FAITH and tells them to not have THE FAITH OF JESUS CHRIST with partiality........<---teh definite article (THE) points clearly to what they are........
This idiocy of separating them from Christian believers is exactly that......idiotic....or misinformed!
