But I’ll betcha that BOTH will deny this!
Why would either deny? The book of James proclaims the truth.
Apparently you take issue with the book of James.
Since God is no respecter of persons, all the work in the world may get you no where if your heart isn’t right, and in the end, one is ultimately dependent on the Grace of Jesus Christ for salvation.
The idea that no work is required is a sectarian notion designed to easily fool Sunday Christians.
Why try to use James (in a suspect set of writings) to try to avoid addressing what LDS Scripture plainly says?
