Certainly. I also read and comprehended Romans 1:1 (which was written to the Romans, and not to you or me), and so forth; but unless you’re suggesting that God placed the letter of St. James in the Bible for no reason relevant to Salvation (and I do wonder at your audacity at picking and choosing which books are expendable, if so!), or that Jesus was speaking ONLY to Nicodemus when He spoke the words of John 3:16, then I’m afraid you’ll have to admit that the entirety of the Bible is meant for us... including James 2:24, friend. When Holy Scripture makes a statement of fact, it is meant to be taken as such, and not simply as a provincial detail of Palestinian history.

Paul was writing to the Messianic

A good skill to develop is to read all
