There is JUST 1 GOSPLE AND 1 FAITH. Why do you think that Paul when to meat with the church in Jerusalem, BECAUSE there is just one true GOSPEL, JAMES PREACH THE SAME GOSPEL AS Paul
Yep
james does not contradict paul, he compliments him
paul spoke to workers, ,people who thought they needed to earn salvation or maintain salvation, he said plainly, we were saved by Gods mercy not by good works which we have done, through the washing and new birth of thenspirit
James, talking to hearers and not doers, asked the question, can their CLAIMED faith save them?
well of course not, Paul said we are saved by grace through faith not works, but our new creation is for good works,
if we claim to have faith, but are hearers only, can our faith save us? Well of course not. Our faith is dead,
he was talking to induvidual people. So they can examine themselves if they have faith not to fruit inspectors, so we can look at others to judge if they are saved or not
the self righteous church has destroyed the meaning of James to add works to the gospel of Christ
