1 | Could this be right? | Acts 2:38 | disciplerami | 79372 | ||
"What use is it my brethren if a man says he has faith, but he has no works? Can that faith save him?" Tim says yes! What does that make you? Is James an 'epistle of straw' to you too? Disciplerami |

Greetings Disciplerami! I love James! :-) James doesn't say anything contrary to what Paul said. James is arguing against those who 'claim' to have faith, but have no evidence to back up that claim. Both Paul and James say that saving faith will result in works. The only point we disagree on is that you feel that the works come before salvation, I feel that they come after salvation. This is an important distinction. James responds to and sometimes quote hypothetical objectors, so his letter can be tricky to follow sometimes. But, Paul states it quite clearly, "We are not saved by works!". If it is by works, he says, then it is no longer grace. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
