Bible Note: Tim, What I am saying is that the separation of saving faith into mental assent or belief and the works of obedience that go with that assent or belief is as artificial as separating a living man into soul and body, which are both integral parts of the whole living man, as God intends man to be, which is why our salvation is not complete without the resurrection of the body. The soul of man without his body is not really a complete and integral man as God created him and wishes him to be. Thus we have the promise of the resurrection of the body. And Tim, you could not have missed my point that it is God's grace working in and through us and so it not our work that we should boast. Nor did you address my point that Paul was making the point that our "ungracefull" works to coin a phrase cannot obligate God to save us. Nor did you address the fact that Paul and JAmes are both speaking about Abraham's faith, so we know they are speaking of the same faith. It is as though James is clarifying a point of Pauls's that others are misinterpreting. Emmaus |
