Let's look at that passage you posted directly from the Greek.

James 2:21-22 Abraham the father of us not by works was justified having offered Isaac the son of him upon the alter you see that his faith was working with the works of him and by his works his faith was completed.

Not by works was justified but only that his faith was completed. Isn't that interesting. The Holy Spirit had the apostles write not by works but the Catholic Church changes it to "by works" making it look like the works is what justified.

The Catholic Church is an evil and corrupt religion.

The Catholic Church is an evil and corrupt religion.

Which is blatantly evident when they say things like:

    One who knowingly and willingly resist any dogma of the Church to the end cannot be saved.

What better example of elitist cultic garbage is there?

Good grief, Bear, why do you post word-by-word translation if you apparently, don't know Greek grammar?

All translations detect a question here, including Young's Literal and your own King James Version.
