No its not because you just run to the same scriptures and ignore context and other scriptures.
You do what any Cult member would do to defend their position.
I don't have the desire to repeat the same stuff over and over. All you are doing is twisting Scripture to suit your purposes. James is not talking about eternal salvation? What else is he talking about? Physical salvation???
He is talking about a Christian not suffering the sin unto death by not bearing fruit.
Why is Rehab mentioned in the passage?
She and her family were saved physically by her faith and actions.
Had she only faith, and did not act, she and her family would have died physically with the rest of the city.
Friend, EVERYONE is going to physically die, even one with faith...
Not everyone dies before their time (Acts 5:5) and a Christian that does not act on his faith and produce fruit suffers the sin unto death (1Jn.5:16).
Paul states that one can suffer that same death if one takes the Lord's supper without due respect (1Cor.11:29-30).
Christ stated that those who did not bear fruit the Father 'taketh away' (Jn.15:2)
Now, since you cannot deal with these clear scriptures, you just have to repeat your James 2 mantra over and over again 'faith without works is dead, faith without works is dead' like any other bible rejecting cultist.
Jesus talks about Sola Scriptura? LOL!!! WHICH verse does he say that?
And which verse does He ever use any other source but scripture?
Does He cite any ancient authority to back up His words, like the Pharisse's did?
No.
Never did He ever state that anything was needed to be known except scripture, including paying any special respect to Mary for nuturing Him!
Paul is speaking in the historical present??? What are you talking about? Forget it. Don't bother.
Don't tell me you never heard of the 'historical present'?
LOL!
Historical present so common in Mark's vivid narrative. http://bible.crosswalk.com/Commentaries/RobertsonsWordPictures/rwp.cgi?book=mr&chapter=3&verse=13&word=historical%20present
I leave you to your fantasies. I do not see the point in continuing.
Ofcourse not.
Once a Roman Catholic has to deal with scripture he is done. Regards
Yes, exactly what you do with James 2...
Note, however, that I don't belittle you with the label "Cult". This tells everyone out there WHO has some love in their heart and who is intent on dissolving the Body of Christ. As my tagline states, I am not obliged to continue listening to your debasing attacks - yet I have without responding in kind. THAT'S a sign of humility. Your arrogant attacks that fail to see the hypocrisy of them are not.
Until you figure out that you personally do not hold the key to the Scriptures, whatever attack you make against Catholics for improper interpretation can be laid at your feet in spades. Look to the Scriptures. They tell us to defend the reason for our hope IN MEEKNESS - IN HUMILITY. Until you learn humility, your interpretations of Scriptures have no authority.
