OK, One more...
If you are saying that in James, we must show our works in order to be saved, then you are saying the the Bible is contradicting itself.
Paul says in Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
If what you say is true, then what Paul says isn't. Which is it?
Are you implying...
I don't imply anything! It's what you infer that is the problem.
See y'all in the morning.
In Christ...Alone!

The works James writes about are not autonomous works of man, they are the Lords work that we are able to cooperate with because of His grace; we cant “work our way into heaven” any more than we can declare our selves “saved” because we have faith. “faith with out works is dead” not works of the law, which is what Paul refereed to, but works done under grace. “When I was Hungry...” Belief is an active participation in Gods plan of salvation.
