The man who is saved without any works to show for it will be judged at the JSOC. His life works will be burned, but he himself will be saved. He will suffer the loss of rewards.

To whom is the writer speaking to, to whom does the doctrine apply? All doctrine is not written to the same audience. God has directions for different audiences throughout scripture. All scripture is written for me, but not all is written to me. Yes?

Paul and James are being led to write under the inspiration of the same Holy Spirit.

The audience is the twelve tribes scattered abroad during the time of Jacob's trouble. The Jews will be called to endure to the end through faith and works. If they do so, they will gain entrance into the Millennial kingdom of Christ. James does not match up with Paul in many areas because...

Who are we to determine what meaning of justified fits into a particular passage? That’s a dangerous way to interpret scripture.

The audience takes away any contradiction.

What you are missing is the "faith of Jesus Christ." The faith of Christ justifies the believer, for he is the only Just one before God.

So, the word justified can have different meanings in order to fit a certain theology because, God forbid, what James stated was true. To whom are we justified? Other men? Abraham was not justified before other men, but God. Abraham is the example James uses. Abraham was not justified...

Why? Where is this stated? God has been revealing truth to man throughout the course of human history. What God revealed to Noah was not the same truth for Abraham, or Moses, or David, etc...

One has to do a dance around the clear reading of scripture to force James to agree with Paul. It doesn’t fit. No amount of works can justify someone’s righteousness. The actual example in the passage is: 15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, 16 And one of you say...

James 2:24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.

Just tired of people correcting the bible. Every man that has come into the world has had light in them given by God. This is not a reference to some elect group. John 1:9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.

You should rewrite the Bible to fit your theology, “The Calvinist Bible.”

How much could cause a fellow brother to stumble?

That's the whole point. The law showed us our need for a Savior! Galatians 3: 24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. 25 But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. 26 For ye are all the children of God by...

And then he gave the sacrificial system because of man's failure to obey the law. Animal sacrifices could never take away sin.

Therefore, since Christ is the only one who completely, without sin, obeyed the law, Christ is the Just one. Through the faith of Christ the believer is justified without works. Read again...for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. Galatians 2:16 Knowing that a man is not...

Read my post again. I never said what you have claimed.

God's law is part of God's word, but there is more to the scriptures than the law.

Man cannot be justified by the works of the law. Justification before God can only come from the faith of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is the only one who was completely obedient to, not only the law, but also to the will of his Father. Galatians 2:16 Knowing that a man is not justified by...
