[ET(end tyranny)]

No offense but your quotes from Ephesians are from Paul. James is in charge of the Jerusalem Community after the crucifixion, so I give his words more credibility than Paul's when the two disagree on something. So, when Paul keeps saying that works are nothing and James says, Oh vain man, faith without works are dead.

Same thing goes for where Paul says that the law is dead. Jesus tells us otherwise. And so does James. Again, since James is in charge after the crucifixtion, I'll take his word over Paul's, especially Jesus tells us that the law will be in effect until the heavens and the earth pass away.

[Quester]

Interestingly, both men ... Paul and James, ... are quoting Moses here.

What Moses said follows ...

Abraham believed God (faith) and it was accounted to him for righteousness.

I'll hang with Moses ... and Paul ... since he agrees with Moses.
