Jesus' commandments are: Believe in Christ [The people] said to [Jesus], 'What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?' Jesus answered and said to them, 'This is the work of God, that you believe into him whom he has sent.' John 6:28-29 Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the...

Paul is referring to works of law; James is referring to works of faith, i.e., love. Big difference; one that I suspect you are trying to obscure. The answers to both your questions are yes.

That's true about the 'that'. My quotation was a recollection from long ago. However, the text does say the faith (definite article), which is referring back to the previous part of the sentence that describes a belief without heart obedience. In other words, James isn't asking if faith, per se...

They're using the same word, but describing it different ways. Paul uses faith in its true sense that I described above. James is distinguishing between the mental belief that is called faith and the true faith. That is why he said the former is useless ('can that faith') because even the devils...

Paul is referring to real faith that is persuaded by GOD, places confidence in what he says, and trusts for him to bring to pass what he says he will do. It is an obedience that requires the working of both heart and mind together. James is referring to faith as mental belief that is an image...

Amen

The righteousness demanded by every one of the 10 commandments is fulfilled in one law: love your neighbor as yourself. Jesus' commandments are: Believe in Christ [The people] said to [Jesus], 'What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?' Jesus answered and said to them, 'This is...

This is true. I've watched them tag team. One takes break while the other puts on the pity show with the pitiful down-and-out walk. Then they switch.

It's sad to see that Christians think being a naive do-gooder is obedience to GOD. Paul said if a person doesn't work, let him not eat.

Yeah it sounds made-up. http://www.snopes.com/glurge/homelesspastor.asp My brother once followed a young pan-handler back to his home in an expensive neighborhood. There have been news reports of reporters doing the same thing.

I feel sorry for your wife and kids to have someone like you as their protector.

All Israel united in messiah: And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, ... there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven. ... Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at...

The more you open your mouth, the more I am convinced you are a fool. Are you more content that an innocent person gets assaulted, hurt, killed, or deprived of property than you are that a guilty person is injured or killed in the act of committing a crime. If yes, that speaks poorly of your...

Which is what? What is the advantage?

Hebrew was spoken in the synagogues, but the common folk didn't understand it. That's why a targumist (interpreter) was needed. Someone read scripture in Hebrew, and a targumist interpreted in Aramaic for the people. If Hebrew and Aramaic were so similar, there wouldn't have been need for a...

The perfect law of liberty is the law of the spirit of life in Christ. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. Romans 8:2

Again, it's obvious you didn't follow the thing closely. The dispatcher asked if he was following him. Z said yes. The dispatcher said we don't need you to do that. Z said OK. Z only walked from the front of an apt bldg to the back where he was assaulted. If Tray had continued to his apartment...

Actually in a way, I think it is exactly what you were implying. The temple and altar are GOD's house, and they along with those who worship therein are spared judgment. Those who dwell in the city are not, but they are still GOD's people. I'm merely trying to point out that the scripture does...

I think there may be something to this. And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein. But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto...

The common folk of Jesus' day did not speak Hebrew.
