That's what I said.

That also would mean that Paul's writings are not subject to being overwhelmed by James' touching upon faith being a living thing, one that must go beyond mere assent and intellectual agreement towards producing not just any "works" but good works (fruit)? Of that there is no real argument against coming from so-called Protestants.

Is there anything I said in reply #37 that was in your own view, in error? Not getting argument, I'll need assume generally not, there was no significant disagreement. Why anything (and everything?) along those lines was withheld -- I'm left to guess at also.

In the context of the conversation(s), right at the point which you "quoted Scripture" what was your intended meaning then? Surely there was one?

That was fairly well discerned, and addressed too. Was it not? If not, then feel free to explain why.

You have still not shown why it should be assumed this JD Hall person was as you said, ignorant of "the following" Scriptures that you had posted in response to what was said in comment #30. That was left for people to guess at.

Why no comment as towards that aspect?

I’m pointing to the facts Hall ignores, which is the root of “ignorance”.

“Believe” means something beyond checking a square.

The verses I quoted make clear that if your stated beliefs don’t show up in the way you live your life, then your claim of belief is void.
