James 5:16 Confess your offenses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The insistent prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective.

Confession of ones sin is not interrogation, no! When a sick person confess a sin they are stating: “ I am sick and I need help in overcoming this sickness”. There is a vast difference in the two, one is a police force upholding the law, the other is a physician of faith helping ones to trust in God's love for them.

The body of Christ Jesus here that James speak too is a body of members intimately connected by the law of love, through the head of the body. Simply put, if a hand on our own body suffers a sickness the rest of the body aids in helping the hand. It does not judge the hand as evil needing to be kicked out of the body.

The body members of Christ Jesus are under unmerited kindness they are indeed in the body because of Christ Jesus righteousness and not their own. Moreover, they were not able to put away the filth of their own flesh, they were allowed to by Christ Jesus merit in a gift of God's own love too them. Subsequently, a spiritual man workings as an elder should discern what the body of Christ Jesus is knowing The difference between flesh and spirit. If the elder is not spiritual he will kill both spirit and flesh by laws that have no mercy just conviction and death!

1 Peter 3:21 This is a symbol of baptism, which now saves you--not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

James 2:12 So speak, and so do, as men who are to be judged by a law of freedom. 2:13 For judgment is without mercy to him who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.
