Utter out-of-context distortion -- to cite this James passage in conjunction with an anti "faith alone" perspective.
Why?
Because you equate "believe" in this context -- what the demons are doing...which is mere cognitive intellectual acknowledgement that God exists...with trusting faith...which in no unmistakeable terms could be said as to what they are doing!!!!
Do you really contend that demons are operating on "faith alone" principle??? Really????
Shame! Shame! How pathetic of an argument is that??
What do you take us for?
ALL: To hear Cronos tell it, apparently he thinks demons are indeed operating on Christian faith...but that their bad deeds undercut such faith...and therefore, they don't go far enough.
Wow!
Yes, please do!
Out of context? Hardly — James points out that it is not faith ALONE that saves us but it is God’s grace that saves us. Even demons have “faith” in God’s power and that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, but they are not saved. It is only through God’s grace that we are saved.
