A verse or two misinterpreted out of James does not cut it especially when it contradicts the clear teaching of other Scripture.
I’ll trust in Christ and be clothed in HIS righteousness which is far better than the sin tainted offerings which is all anyone have to present to Him from their own efforts.
But go ahead and depend on your own good deeds and let us know how that works out for you.
I'm not sure why some get to say what is misinterpretation but others don't. Perhaps in a while you'll be following salvation by election and proof text that system instead of the this one which you can then say is misinterpretation. Who knows?

Strawman again.
After all this time posting the same verses, ignoring others, throwing strawmen out to battle...
There's not much left to say except that whatever makes you feel good is fine with me.
Enjoy.
