1 | Reconcilitation between Paul and James | James 2:14 | Ric | 97 | ||
Careful study reveals that there is no disagreement between a Pauline statement like Eph 2:8-10 and the declaration of Jas 2:24. You need to read the passage as a whole (James 2:14-26), it divides itself into three sections: the proposition James 2:16-17; the argument James 2:18-25; and the concluding statement James 2:26. In short, real faith will bring out works proving our salvation, but one can not work for their salvation. | ||||||

Question: How come we try to make what God told us to do to be saved into a battle of misunderstandings? Answer: Define "we". Who tries to do this? Question: At the end of the day, when one reads the sermon from Peter on the day of Pentecost, what did he tell the people to do? Answer: In the Bible passage, doesn't it say what he told them? Question: Was what he said for thier salvation? Answer: Since in your question you do not give the book, chapter and verse to which you are referring, I'm forced to guess that your question is about what Peter said in Acts 2:38. Was what he said for their salvation? If "the remission of sins" means salvation, then the answer would be, Yes, it was for their salvation. Question: Did they except what he said? Answer: Do you mean did they ACCEPT what he said? In the Bible passage, doesn't it say "they that gladly received his word were baptized"? Question: Did some reject what he said? Answer: Unknown. The passage does not say "some rejected what he said." On the other hand, that some rejected is a reasonable understanding of the passage. Question: Finally, does what Peter told the people to do, contradict what Paul and James said? Answer: No. |
