In the plain reading of the passages quoted, you may be tempted to claim that they must contradict each other. But they don’t, and can’t, since all scripture is true, as it is all God’s word.
The works of the law must not be confused with good works in Christ. St. Paul teaches that salvation cannot be gained by works of the law, i.e. the old covenant. Romans 3:28 For we hold that a man is justified by faith apart from works of law. But Christ also taught that not everyone who cries out Lord, Lord, shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but rather those who do the will of the Father shall enter (Matthew 7:21-23). Those that do works in Christ will be seated at his right hand and inherit the Kingdom (Matthew 25:31-36). We must be doers of the word, not just hearers (James 1:22-27).
For this very reason make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, and virtue with knowledge, and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with steadfastness, and steadfastness with godliness, and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love. For if these things are yours and abound, they keep you from being ineffective or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. For whoever lacks these things is blind and shortsighted and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins. Therefore, brethren, be the more zealous to confirm your call and election, for if you do this you will never fall; so there will be richly provided for you an entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. (2 Peter 1:5-11)
As the New Testament affirms, salvation is not through faith alone but by the good works in Christ (not the works of the law), through faith. Without faith we cannot love, and faith without love is dead.
I don't know Titanites...Your post seems to be full of so many holes, it looks like swiss cheese...
You seem to think justification is the same as salvation...Which it is not...
But Christ also taught that not everyone who cries out Lord, Lord, shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but rather those who do the will of the Father shall enter (Matthew 7:21-23).
This part of that chapter concerns false prophets...You want us to think that doing the will of the Father is somehow connected to James 1:22-27...
What is the will of the Father??? The will of the Father is defined in the Gospel of John as believing on Jesus Christ as Saviour (John 6:39,40; 6:29)...
Mat 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
The exact case of this is noted in Acts 19:13-15...Paul calls these people vagabond Jews, exorcists...And, a description of these people is shown in Jeremiah 14:14...
Mat 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
There are no Christians present here...I never knew you removes forever any thought of 'Christians' being represented in the passage...Why???
Because Jesus Christ does know the Christian intimately, and could never say that He never did...(John 10:14-27)
I have run out of time but I'll be back to look at the rest of this...If you determine I'm wrong, feel free to correct me (with scripture)...
