1 | Reconcilitation between Paul and James | James 2:14 | 1Cor13 | 96 | ||
The common reconciliation for the apparently different view of justification from Paul and James is to say 1 Paul doesn't disapprove James' view, vice versa, 2 James only talks about how to substantiate faith. Would like to hear, can a distinction really be drawn on 1 works that substantiate faith and 2 works done with intention to gain God's justification? Any practical examples? Is it the motive for the acts that counts at the end of day? | ||||||
2 | 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. | ||||||
3 | to clarify my question... | James 2:14 | 1Cor13 | 102 | ||
Sorry I messed up my question... my main questions are "can a distinction really be drawn on 1, works that substantiate faith and 2, works done with a intention to gain God's justification" and "is it the motive for the acts that counts at the end" Any one could kindly help? Thanks | ||||||
4 | to clarify my question... | James 2:14 | Ric | 107 | ||
For your question: ""can a distinction really be drawn on 1, works that substantiate faith and 2, works done with a intention to gain God's justification" and "is it the motive for the acts that counts at the end". ................. The answer would be that "works establish the proof of one's faith" and for the number 2 "works done with a intention to gain God's justification" will never, never happen...... Is 64:6 For all of us have become like one who is unclean, And all our righteous deeds are like a filthy garment; And all of us wither like a leaf, And our iniquities, like the wind, take us away. (NAS) |
