See....even ROSE grasps this truth..............how hard is it to grasp the fact that he identifies who he is addressing by the following phrases....
The trial of YOUR FAITH-a
and NOT to have THE FAITH-b OF JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD with partiality
FROM FAITH-a to FAITH-b it is written, the JUST shall live by FAITH <-----show me the word WORKS in that phrase!!

True, this is how I understand the confusing genesis 15 and 17. Both are promises that he will have many descendants and his descendants will possess the land of Canaan.
Yet one is unconditional and the other is conditional requiring Abraham to circumcise himself.
We can think of Abraham being a father to both gentiles, which is chapter 15, and Jews which is chapter 17

You could take some time out and get alone with God and study James...
Pray before you start to read and ask the Holy Spirit to help you , because if you stay in your mindset , you will not mature...
I have been where you are before on certain Scriptures , and I realised I had to humble myself before God so He could conform my mind to His Word and help me remove my mindset...
You are really wrong about the book of James , I pray that God will open your eyes...
In Jesus name Amen...

I wonder why James brings up Elijah? Hmmmmmm? Maybe because he will return in the tribulation and cause it not to rain for 3 1/2 years? Just a coincidence, I’m sure.
17 Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months.
18 And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.
Hmmmmmm?
Malachi 4:5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord:
Revelation 11:6 These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.

You responded to @dcontroversal ...he was the guy above.
It was "read his works" as well.
Interesting she did not have the nerve to use a name.
If I am wrong I will apologize but I doubt it.
