James 2:14-26 New King James Version Faith Without Works Is Dead 14 What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, 16 and one of you says to them, “Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,” but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit? 17 Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.
18 But someone will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without [a]your works, and I will show you my faith by [b]my works. 19 You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble! 20 But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is [c]dead? 21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar? 22 Do you see that faith was working together with his works, and by works faith was made [d]perfect? 23 And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “Abraham believed God, and it was [e]accounted to him for righteousness.” And he was called the friend of God. 24 You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only.
25 Likewise, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out another way?
26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
I already have. That is exactly what this post is.
No, this post is James 2, which preaches about profiting your brethren in Christ, that if you say to someone “Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,” but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, that it does not profit them.
Scripture cannot contradict itself
100% Scripture cannot contradict itself, which is why salvation is by faith through grace, it is not of works, lest any man should boast.
What you are saying contradicts the quote in this post, and therefore your interpretation cannot be true.
No, what you are saying is a heresy of the RCC and is not the Gospel of Christ.
You cannot reconcile sola fides with James, and so your interpretation is totally incorrect.
I just did. This is not 'my' interpretation; the Holy Spirit bears witness to this as well as the Word.
And as I have said before, even Jesus has said you must DO the will of the father, so again your interpretation of Romans contradicts even Jesus Himself.
I've already explained to you what the will of the father is from scripture, but in the off chance it was another pagan I explained it to;
39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. 40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day. - John 6:39-40
Gee.. I don't see the part about works and the RCC heresies... Oh that's right, because it's not there. Salvation is by faith through grace in Jesus Christ alone.
Paul is not greater than Jesus. Read your Bible protestant heretic.
Paul is speaking in Jesus' authority, that of the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Christ. I must inform you pagans again, Bible believing Baptists aren't protestants, we're Christians.
