So when St James says near the beginning of his epistle: "My brethren, do not hold the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of g1ory, with partiality".....his acknowledgment that Jesus was the Lord of Glory itself isn't declaring Our Lord's divinity?

Quit parroting a defective reading of St James. without correction, or any check against the text.  Very lazy approach, allowing others to start swallowing new myths.
