The "works" James referred to in his epistle are the good works we have been saved unto, not pagan rites and superstitions like "masses" and "sacraments, both of which are abomination to God!

You mean according to your interpretation - which must, of course be correct because.......you say so. I'm glad that you know exactly what God meant when he inspired the bible. Too bad that billions of others are wrong and only you are right.

"Judge not lest ye be judged."

God didn't cause his word to be written and preserved for us if He hadn't thought we could interpret it. The Spirit who wrote it interprets it to believers in Jesus Christ.

You're on the right track with the statement: "billions of others are wrong ". "Broad is the way that leads to destruction (Jesus said) and many there be that go that way"

Jesus also said, "Judge a righteous judgement". You make hundreds of judgements every day and they'd better be good ones in some cases, such as waiting to drive onto a highway if there's a double-botton gravel truck coming. Judgement: "How far away? What is its closing speed?.

Judging is part of our lives.
