Morning, sir.

I am struck by the text of Dr. Piper’s attempt to reconcile James 2 with Romans 3-4.

The only reference to the Gospels is to John 10:35, which appears to take the reference to the Gospels slightly out of context.

If we are trying to reconcile faith with works, why would one not go to the entire chapter of Matt 5; Matt 25, Rev 20, and so on? Why are we trying to reconcile the words of men with each other, when we should be trying to reconcile them with the words of Christ? I really don’t understand the emphasis here.

Are we Christians or are we Paulines?

One last time, I believe the whole Bible, not just the gospels are the word of God.Therefore, all of the Bible is worthy of study, and worthy of use. All of the scripture is EQUAL.
