Already showed it. Not my fault you won't see.

Show the verse so that we can all see what you do

""James was writing to the Israel of God, not unbelieving Israel after the flesh""
Gal 2:7-9 - who did the Apostles agree would teach the Gentiles ?
..
""And we are told to run the race lawfully if we are to receive the prize.......otherwise be disqualified.""

2Ti 2:5
And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he NOT CROWNED, except he strive lawfully.

What is the point you are making with regard to James? Hope you aren't saying that what he wrote is not true for and doesn't apply to Gentile believers...? There is only one new covenant for both Jew and Gentile, one and the same gospel. The Israel of God, which Gentile believes are part of, has 'tribes', but not according to the flesh, it is more according to spiritual gifts and callings. As there were twelve tribes of Israel according to the flesh so does that number twelve speak of the NEW Jerusalem and its sealed saints, which believing Gentiles are part of....see Revelation.
