Intro. People don't change. 8th c BC a leader of God's people was disinterested in missions. Reasons not distimilar to those people use today to excuse selves. And yet excuses are really symptoms of deeper causes. I • Degenerate parri oti sm. ~ ,,.,:.~,v Why did Jonah flll God's commission? 1. Some say he was fearful of Nineveh. Cruel people. But look at v 6, 12. Some are fearful of whab awaits them on field but not Jonah. 2. Exaggerated idea of his importance as a prophet. Knew that he nus t not stoop to be a missionary. Doobt that this would have led to such severe rebellio1 But some have this idea of selves and missionaries are 2nd class Xns. Takes the best of men and the best in a man. 3. Real reason was his patriotism. Looked at the internat•i situation and knew that Assyria arch-enemy of Israel. Hard to be missionary from nation which is underdog. Or to those who mistreat you. Field is world.

II. Defective~ theology, 1:9. Defective bee irrelevant. Knew God was possessor of heaven and earth, 9 but didn't apply this to-- 1. God's program for the unsaved. v 9--Hebrew. used when spe ■aing to foreigners. Abr 1st to be so called, Gen 14:13 so linked with cov privileges. Jonah could only think of what agd was doing for him and his people, and forgot that God had a purpose for unsaved too. Applic is to people who are so wrapped up in election that they forget God's purpose in the world. Why eat? Why go to mission field. 2. God's prerogative over His ppople, 14. Sailors expressed it tho Jonah didn't act like he knew. V 14 lit. as (Thou) willedst (Thou) didst. Lk 6:46. ~ Ol..-4.., ..... t /.:f'-. . .---,. III. Deficient Spirituality. ...,,,, 1. Disobeyed Word of God, 1-2. Gt Comm • 2. Neglected prayer to God, 6. No record he prayed even after asked. Capt. knew value of united prayer. Matt 10. ~. Hid his witness for God, 9 had to be asked. Asleep,5. If anxious to witness here will be interested in missns. r

But for all of this Jonah knew he was in God's hands and did submit to His purpose. e.g. didn't commit suicide. Eventually came to self and did will of God with unique results. Let•s not make Jonah's mistakes by remembering- citizens of heaven and ambassadors from that country, not from USA, that we bi!long to God who loves world and who has plan for whole world, that we need to heed Word, pray, and witness. Will be no lack of missionary interest, money or personnel if these things characterize our lives and our church. Canaanite religion 1. Basic dlff. Jehovah was God of people and therefore demands were ethical on people. Canaanite gods were gods of land; therefore concern was with fertility. Minimum was 3 gods--chief god (sky god), his wife (earth goddess), and their son.

2. Designations All male gods lumped under Baal which can be proper name or just mean lord or owner. Goddesses called Asbtoreth or Ashtaroth (Babylonian Ishtar or Greek Astarte). Asherah refers to sacred pole in Canaanite sanctuaries and ls consistently mlstranslted in AV grove,Jadges 2:11,13; 3:7.

3. Declension of Isl Step #1--admittlng Canaanite gods to place secondary to Jeh. Step #2--Considering Jeh as super-Baal Step #3--Canaanized Jeh. People prob not conscious they had forsaken Jeh, Jer 2:33. All this during pa:tod after death of Josh. Step #4--when kgdom divided, Canaanite influence increased in N. Hos 2:16 against Baalized Jeh worship. Prob included idea of Jeh•s wife, and prostitution at shrines tho not mentioned by prophets

Intro. Confusicm about the Wor d. Ol d liberalism. Neo- ortho. Neo-lib. Conservatism and dictation. Impt. bee of question of authority. Look at apostle's opinion of Word. Remember he was a Jew reared in X's home . But unbel until after res, Jn 7:5. Also r emember he gave his lif e for this Wor d from pinnacle of templ e and then stoned. Godliness of ho 1e in Lk 1:46-55. 15 quotes f r om OT . Epi stle t o bel ieving Jews and bet 44.:50. Earl iest except Mar k.

C. Jas bro of X. Eusbeius speaks of him as author. Many others after. What is meaning of brethren of X. 1. Means natural sons of Joe and Mary after X born. View from 4th con. Not much before that. Natural inference from Mt 1:25. Against view is action of brethren in Mt 12:46; Jn 7:3-5 which makes i$ appear brethren older not younger. Against is question why Mary comitted to Jn son of Zebedee. Ans-bec he was believer. Other brethren prob not at cross. 2. Brethren were sons of Joe before marriage to ~ary. Ex Grk favors. Apocryphal gosples support, Camb Bib, 17. Favorite view in 2-4th centuries. Supported by fact that it does no violence to meaning of word brethren and yet preserves Mary!s position.

3. Cousins. That is brethren were sons of wife of Clopas who is sister of Mary. This also equates Jas brother and author with Jasso~ of Aplhaeus. Stmi.ns brother. Inconceivable that imgp 12 was unbeliever which would be neo if Alphaeua and writer same. Ex Grk xii Views 1 and 2 most widely accepted.

III.Addressees. 12 tribes scattered abroad. Most widely addressed letter in NT. 1 Peter nearest. ~as limited to Xns, 2:1,7; 5,7. 1. Limited to ch in Judea. Bee Jas evidently never left Jerus. 2. Limited to eastern dispersion, Syria and Baby lonia. 3. Includes all dispersion with scenes drawn from Jas' knowledge of churches at Jerus but warning all who had become Xns . Sent to centers of dispersion

IV. Date. Arguments for early date. 1. No ref to controversy of circ. Thus before 50. 2. Syna~o~e in 2 :.l-. 3. Ref in 2:15-18 may be to Acts 11 (about 44) and th~s.p~ts book bet 44 and council in 50-51. 4.

c. Conversion. Xn in Aots 1114. X appeared to Jas, 1 Cor 1517. This evidently was time of conversion. Rote how quickly Jas recd by brethren esp in Jerus lo that immediately he becomes recognized head of oh. l:usebius says he was the 11 first to be entrusted with the thronon of the oh in Jerus." D. Work. Head of Jerus oh. Note Acts 12117; 15sl3T21. Gal 219; Acts 21118. E. Life. Eusebius says ascetio--no wine, no meat eater, no razor, no bath, etc. Nazarite from birth. Always in temple praying for sins of his people so knees became "-91hard like camel's.

F. Death. Scribes and Phariesee took him to pinnacle of temple, flung Jas down when he refused to dissuade the people from following Jesus. High as horse on Magnolia Bldg.450•. Didn't die so stoned him. ,las prayed for their forgiveness. Then priest took a club and beat him to death.
