Here are a few more passages from scripture of which I enjoy watching the non-Catholics spin their plain reading:

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

    Philippians 2:12 Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling

    Hebrews 5:9 And having been perfected, He became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him

    Acts 2:38 Then Peter said to them, "Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins

    Acts 22:16 'And now why are you waiting? Arise and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord.'

    1 Peter 3:21 Baptism, which corresponds to this, now saves you

    Nehemiah 8:8 And they read from the book, from the law of God, clearly; and they gave the sense, so that the people understood the reading.

    Acts 8:30-31 So Philip ran to him, and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet, and asked, "Do you understand what you are reading?" And he said, "How can I, unless some one guides me?" And he invited Philip to come up and sit with him.

    1 Corinthians 11:2 I commend you because you remember me in everything and maintain the traditions even as I have delivered them to you.

    2 Thessalonians 2:15 So then, brethren, stand firm and hold to the traditions which you were taught by us, either by word of mouth or by letter.

OK...we'll just start with one example...

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

How do you explain this verse in view of this one???

Eph 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Eph 2:9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
