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 | 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? | ||||||
5 | Interpretation of Bible teachings | James 5:14 | 1Cor13 | 95 | ||
It seems that, out of a same Bible text, the Catholic church derives different teaching (interpretations) than Protestants. eg They use Jam 5:14, 15 to support their ceremony of oil anointing in illness, treating the verses as establishing the ceremony. What principles do we have to determine if it's the case? | ||||||
