Bible Note: Hi, Ed... You have asked about James a number of times, mostly en toto. Here is a discussion that you might find interesting: https://www.whitehorseinn.org/show/paul-james-on-justification/ The discussion is summarized with: "Paul in Romans 4 says that 'the one who does not work but trusts in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted as righteousness.' Yet we also read in James 2:24 that 'a person is justified by works and not by faith alone.' Do Paul and James contradict each other in the matter of justification? How are these two passages to be reconciled? That’s the focus of this edition of White Horse Inn." It includes Dr. Robert Godfrey (United Reformed Church), Dr. Whitney Gamble (Reformed Presbyterian), Dr. Justin Holcomb (an Episcopal priest), and Dr. Michael Horton (Orthodox Presbyterian Church). All of them are professors at various seminaries. They are also, with the sole exception of Dr. Gamble, ordained ministers. I know you don't much care for educated people or what they have to say, think, do, or believe. Nonetheless, their discussion will give you a far superior answer to your question than I could have done. In Him, Doc |
