I think James was speaking against partiality in either direction ... but I think what we do see is a dichotomy of cultures .... the 1st century church it seems in James hypothetical was more apt to discriminate, play favorites, show partiality ... to a person wearing a ring ...
Notice he does not differentiate in this hypothetical, whether is this man is a believer or not ....
Where does the bible teach believers not to wear gold, Pastor Rich?
