In the end, everything turns out exactly as it should, whether or not you or I do the right thing.

That's where we disagree. There are things in history that have turned out exactly as they shouldn't, because people of good conscience failed to act. In many cases, it could well have been because they assumed God would make everything right.

And as I've quoted, the book of James agrees with me on this.

I fail to see how it does.

Can you name one? I don't find this concept in the Bible.

Hold it right there. By definition, God DOES make everything right. His justice is perfect. He can do no wrong.

Perhaps your perception of what is "right" is wrong.

And as I've quoted, the book of James agrees with me on this.

James says faith without works is dead. But, I don't see where he says the success of God's perfect plan relies on any fallible man. As I've said before, the sovereign Creator is not subject to the will of His creation.
