I am still in the first chapter which he addresses to "my brethern" so yes he is desribing Christians which are often "forgetful hearers." Unless you think the problem with the church today is strictly poor preaching since none of the Christians are ever "forgetful hearers" and all are doers? Harry Chad Richard Bresson <breusswane@...> wrote: James was not writing about Christians as "forgetful hearers". We must interpret the text as James intended. The forgetful hearers are one and the same as "enemies of God" (James 4:4). The forgetful hearers are those whose "faith is dead" (James 2:17). Theirs is a worthless religion (1:26).
