Bible Note: Emmaus: You wrote: "Maybe you can do better with "faith alone." I know where that is in the bible. But it is in James not Paul. Could you quote that for me in its sentence?" Sure it is in Paul. "For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast." --Ephesians 2:8-9 'What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh, has found? For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God. For what does the Scripture say? "ABRAHAM BELIEVED GOD, AND IT WAS CREDITED TO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS." Now to the one who works, his wage is not credited as a favor, but as what is due. But to the one who does not work, but believes in Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited as righteousness" --Romans 4:1-5 How do you reconcile Paul's statements about Abraham in Romans 4 with James' statements about Abraham in James 2? While I have seen way too many Protestants ignoring James, it seems like you are avoiding Paul on this one. --Joe! |
