Frankly, I am left concluding some are so blind they WILL NOT see. There is no such Gospel as faith and works for salvation. When you cite James to us, we know by the textual placement that James is referring to how men see the faith of one by the works they do, and without works showing His Spirit in you, men conclude you have no SAVING FAITH. Yet Catholicism turns that on it head to mean James is referring to the perspective of God, how God determines whose faith is enough bolstered by works.
May God have Mercy on such heretical blindness.
I think that many have a false faith and chose to ignore the words and actions of God.
I do hope that all find the Truth.
