Hello Dabody7, I believe both Hank and Tim Moran have provided a solid scriptural basis in support of faith vs. works. The whole of scripture clearly speaks to the fact that we are saved on the basis of our faith, not works. (Tit.3:5) As an observation, I believe James focus is providing the practical outworking of our faith. His is not a doctrinal book as is Romans, so I see no contradiction given this distinction. Consider Hebrews 11, the wonderful treatise of our great cloud of witnesses! Verse 6 reads "without FAITH it is impossible to please Him" In verses 8 and 9 we have "By FAITH Abraham..." And finally in verse 17 "By FAITH Abraham,when he was tested, offered up Isaac..." Faith precedes works in all these examples. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
