He said a CLAIMED faith without works was dead.
Can a dead faith save you? No.
why? Faith always works (see abraham, See David, See Moses, See Rahab, See Heb 11) Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word. Faith is the SUBSTANCE of things hoped for. The envidence of things not seen. Faith does not sit still it works.
A fake faith ( a person who believes only, but has no root of faith) will not work, because they do nto have real faith.

Some say we are not under the law, but under grace. Pitting grace against the law,.... a law that will remain until the new heavens and earth appears..
You could say what “law of grace” are we under, seeing there are no philosophical opinions in the Bible..?
.
How do we look at grace as a law of faith (the unseen eternal). Has God left us as orphans without a prescription for seeing the unseen things of God?
2Co 4:18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
It would seem the letter of the law is the scriptures as that in which we do see with our literal eyes .It kills by showing all fall short of the glory of God.
While the Spirit of grace it comes by comparing that not seen to the same, that not seen....or faith to faith. (an illustration of the gospel ) below
For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: (the unseen to the same unseen) as it is written, The just shall live by faith. (the unseen) Romans 1:16
I would suggest we wear the proper prescription that can enlighten the eyes of our heart .The faith to faith gospel that saves, the gospel of our salvation as the anchor of our new souls .
The perfect law of God that does quicken our souls giving us His understanding, it that not seen as coming by observation.
That which does come by observation, kills and is why faith must be mixed in what we do see or hear..(Hebrew 4)
We worship the law of faith .From the hearing of that faith we can believe God not seen ...to the same hearing as the Spirit gives ears to hear the unseen things God has prepared for us that do walk by faith.

Our new faith, new soul is not without works .By the work of Christ's faith according to that three day labor of love he satisfied the just demands of the father who worked with the Son to bring us the peace of God that surpases all human understanding as a mystery made know. .
Because of His work of faith we can receive his grace.. the reward of His work that works in us to both to will and perform his good pleasure.(imputed righteousness)This is not of our own selves coming from the imaginations of a human heart... as in who could know it which is desperate wicked and beyond repair as a source of living faith?

Not really.
Common principle to communicating/teaching: Know your audience.
If you don't know your audience, you aren't communicating or teaching to that audience.
So, in this case, you weren't teaching because you had the wrong audience.
If I did a teaching on the proper technique to either foil or came a piece of stained-glass, should I post it on this forum just in case someone wants to learn how to do stained-glass? I am free to do that, but everyone on this forum is free to wonder why in the world I posted it here. And I wouldn't be teaching because very few people would come here to learn it.
That's about what you have done. Wrong audience, thus lack of teaching/communicating.

Gal. 5:14: For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: "Love your neighbor as yourself."
Matt. 5:17 - "think not that I am come to destroy the law or the prophets: I am not come to destroy but to fulfill"
The entire law has been fulfilled in Christ. Not part of it, or most of it, but all of it! Not just the "sacrificial" law, or the "civil" law, but all of it, including the "moral" law.

If every man from Adam to Moses kept the Sabbath, why is the Hebrew word for the weekly Sabbath found in the ten commandments, never found in the book of Genesis? Why is no one before Moses ever being told to keep the Sabbath? Why are there no examples of anyone keeping the Sabbath before Moses? Why were the Patriarchs never instructed about he Sabbath, but were instructed regarding: Offerings - Genesis 4:3-4; Altars - Genesis 8:20; Priests - Genesis 14:18; Circumcision - Genesis 17:10; Marriage - Genesis 2:24 & Genesis 34:9. Why would God leave out the Sabbath day command in Genesis if what you say is true?
