Subject: Question for Rowdy.... |
Bible Note: Hello Rowdy, Your challenge is a logical fallacy. You are setting conditions that are impossible to meet in order to win your argument. In common usage, the absence of a condition means that it is not required. If I order waffles at a restaurant, the waitress is not obligated to bring me sausage as well. You were given verses where faith or belief was the single condition necessary for salvation. The fact that James is the only place where the phrase is used should cause you to question if you might not have things completely backwards. Steve |
