The Epistle of James should not be listed with the canonical books of the New Testament. It was most likely written by a Jew who did not know Christ. I would place it with the pseudepigrapha, and I certainly would not base any of my beliefs from James.

I agree totally. James was the jealous brother of Jesus and was extremely envious of his deity and retaliated with his paper and pen. Just throw it out. They compiled the Bible in 362 and made many errors in the assembly of material.

Yet James was considered consistent with the rest of the Bible until the Luther left it out of his Sixteenth Century German translation. Prods were eventually shamed into putting James back but I agree that the Epistle is totally incompatible with the various strains of Protestant doctrine. This controversy is one of the many inconsistencies that eventually leads honest Protestants back to the Rock that is Rome.
