You sir, are incorrect on at least 3 accounts. First, you can indeed separate works of faith from the law, because it has nothing to do with the moral law but the law of grace. Second, though it is true Paul did not say, we are saved by works, but he did show how we are saved by A work done in...

It doesn't matter who it was written to in this case. The law of faith under the old covenant operates the same way in the new. There is only one Godlike faith, and it hasn't change and never will. James in merely showing how it works and why it doesn't work for many.

Again, you are confusing works of the law with works of faith, and justification with righteousness. And isn't it also written that God speaks of things WHICH BE NOT AS THOUGH THEY ARE or were? No, but it does mean the car is not going to start until you turn the ignition key, step on the gas...

Okay, in an attempt to clarify. Should the word in verse 17 be interpreted as "works", as the KJB does, or "a work". The difference between the two is, one involves a single act at a particular moment, such as when the naked starving person is before you, and the other is in the plural form, as...

You seem to be spouting off about something I never said or implied. This kind of talk and behavior is usually due to both hate toward and/or anger about someone and/or something the person said. And such talk and behavior usually distorts and perverts their view of both the person and what was...

You brought up a good point about what James said concerning giving to the poor. Jas 2:15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, Jas 2:16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are...

This sounds nice but would not hold up to scrutiny in the light of many other scripture verses talking about faith that don't share the same concept. And regarding Abraham's faith in Romans 4:2-3, haven't you read James' reply to that in 2:23? Rom 4:2 For if Abraham were justified by works, he...

No apology is necessary, as no offense was taken. Still, even though you didn't do anything wrong in my eyes, it was a gracious godly gesture. It's not like I haven't made the same error... like yesterday?!!

I don't know you, though I have seen your posts now and then over the years, but I don't follow you or your posts, so I wouldn't know if you said anything in jest or not. Aside from that, and if I am reading your post correctly, then again, your understanding of the works James is referring to...

I don't mind explaining myself and my position. What I was trying to show was the two different scriptures you used had to do with works of the law and not works of faith, which is what James was writing about. I went on to explain how faith works. It is true, James never mentions the word...

You have openly displayed your ignorance of, and disdain for, the scriptures concerning the subject of faith and works, as do all who think and propagate the same. Perhaps one reason why so many will wonder why they are not in heaven when they thought they should have been, will be because they...

You are wrong on both accounts. Neither is referring to the works James speaks of. There is a big difference and distinction between works of the law and works of faith. Though both have been referred to as "good works", they are not the same. The bible says there is only one faith, which is to...

Deflection and ignoring equates to ignorance. A hypocrite is someone who does the same thing they accuse others of doing. Stating or point to facts, or what one perceives about the other, does not constitute attacking. Again, SOME HERE ON THIS THREAD still refuse to interpret specific scripture...

Again, you say there is not law of faith, and yet the word of God says otherwise. Rom 3:27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith. Let's look at some specifics in Mark 11:22 and 23. Mar 11:22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have...

Just like those who didn't get their healing in the bible. It was talking about their souls not getting healed as well. All talk, NO PROOF to back up such claims. All I see are one way hypocritical streets with you. You continue to make general statements, as though they are true, without...

If you can't even get healed from a simple sickness, why would you even suggest creating a universe? Of course it ain't gonna happen. Babies don't create, they only eat and poop. Right now I think you are doing more pooping than eating because most of what you are saying stinks. Rom 3:4 God...

If Jesus killed a literal tree, with His word, which was with power, then YES, it definitely can be a literal mountain or tree for us as well. As well as anything else, because the basic law applies to everything. Again, you focused on the object and not the word of God and the law of faith, or...

First off, I would NEVER EVER ask for a pink Cadillac, to start with, not for myself anyway, but if for some dumb reason I wanted such a thing, then YES, ABSOLUTELY, I would get what I confessed in faith, because God cannot not do what He promised to do. However, there are things that could...

I don't know how you can say I'm not proving anything when I gave MANY scripture verses, each backing up the other, saying the same thing a different way. You have yet to prove me wrong. Simply claiming Romans 10 is about salvation, means NOTHING. Jesus said to two people, "according to your...

And faith is not actually the confident assurance but the very thing you are believing for. The confidence is part of the believing, NOT the faith itself. Hebrews 11:1 in the KJV explains it best. Heb 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Jesus...
