Don’t change the subject.
Show me Scripture verses that tie Mary to the ark of the Covenant.
Book, chapter, and verse.
“Show me in the Bible where Luther’s man-made invention of Justification by “Faith Alone” can be found? ...
To the CONTRARY- I can show you in Scripture where the bible says salvation is NOT by Faith alone....(James 2:24)”
I’ll match your whole one Scripture taken out of context to my many...
Romans 4:5
But to the one who does not work, but believes in Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited as righteousness, If in doubt about how you are saved?
John 6
28Therefore they said to Him, “What shall we do, so that we may work the works of God?” 29Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He has sent.”

But the righteous will live by his faith
Wishful thinking really...
It has been shown that contrary to the typical strawman of sola fide that faith is alone, Luther held that it is effectual life-changing obedient faith that justifies.
For Scripture teaches that it is regenerating, heart-purifying (10:43; Acts 15:7-9) Abrahamic faith that is counted for righteousness, contrary to RC teaching of salvation thru becoming actually good enough to be with God, thru Purgatory. But you just ignore refutations and proceed to paste more parroted prevaricating propaganda.
To the CONTRARY- I can show you in Scripture where the bible says salvation is NOT by Faith alone....(James 2:24)
To the contrary, salvation is NOT by Faith that is alone, and if James 2 is teaching that Abraham was not justified when he believed God who promised to do what Abraham could not, but instead was justified when he offered up Issac, then James is contradicting both Moses and Paul.
Paul, for his part, is dealing with the issue of justification by merit (which is what Catholicism teaches by teaching it is grace thru merit) and with the Law being the prime example of that (Galatians 3:21) as in Romans 4 (while Titus 3:5 just says "not by works of righteousness that we have done") , vs. grace thru effectual faith, while in essence James is dealing with what kind of faith justifies, that of one that goes with works, as Luther formally taught, and not an inert faith.
