    *** What it tells me is that you refused to state what you have placed your faith in.

    *** I get it. When Jesus said He only came to the lost sheep of the house of Israel he lied to us, Right??????

    Was James confused?

    This thread dropped its original ideas and has degenerated into works _+ faith. It is obvious, to me, that there are many in the churches claimiing their works but have no idea as to what they have faith in. Many can claim their works but it doesn't mean a thing if they can't say what that...

    Was James confused?

    *** So if a person gets sick they should do as the Law says to do; right??????? "That other sheep is US. Show the scriptures that say that. You have, as yet, to say whether you believe Jesus when He said """"""""HE ONLY CAME TO THE LOST SHEEP OF ISRAEL""""""".

    Was James confused?

    *** I don't think so since He (JESUS) said He only came to the """"""LOST SHEEP OF THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL""""" in two places. Are you saying Jesus lied when He said it????????????????????? Jesus did not go to the Gentiles. He sent Paul to them.

    Was James confused?

    *** Because I quoted what Jesus said does not mean I believe in works. Jesus came to the Jews who were under the Law of Moses. What do you expect Him to say? When He, Jesus, said He only came to the""""""lost sheep of Israel""""" I believe Him. Do you? What Jesus taught was to the Jews. The...

    Was James confused?

    All the sins of mankind were atoned for, paid for with the blood of Jesus on the cross. Those under grace are no longer under the law so there is no sin that condemns them. But the religious will not accept that His blood paid for anything. In this age of grace the children of God are not...

    Was James confused?

    The problem about all this doing works to prove a person's faith is that it does not prove anything. Many in the churches do charitable works but those works can be done by anyone. They do not mean the person is even saved. As the scripture states there are many Tares in the church. But let...

    Was James confused?

    *** Did you read where Jesus said to do your works in private. Matt 6:1-4 6 "Take heed that you do not do your charitable deeds before men, to be seen by them. Otherwise you have no reward from your Father in heaven. 2 Therefore, when you do a charitable deed, do not sound a trumpet before...

    Whose lying?

    *** We are not to judge the children of God by any means. Rom 14:4 4 Who are you to judge another's servant? To his own master he stands or falls. Indeed, he will be made to stand, for God is able to make him stand. NKJV

    Was James confused?

    ***James did not write to the grace church so how can he put put feet on our faith? Faith is not works of the flesh. It is believing what God says. In Paul's gospel. you know the one that Jesus gave him, the only requirement for salvation is to believe in the work of the cross. The works...

    Was James confused?

    *** I believe in the gospel of grace as Jesus gave it to Paul. Jesus atoned, paid for, all the sins of the world and that includes mine and anyone else that will believe it. But most of the works crowd do not believe it. I have placed my belief, faith, trust and confidence in what Jesus did...

    Was James confused?

    *** IMO the teaching that the church is Israel is a false teaching. Israel rejected Jesus and they have been set aside until the fullness of the Gentiles has been reached. But all this is not the subject of the thread and I will not go there. As for seeing works there are may in the churches...

    Was James confused?

    *** A good sermon but does not say whether James is lying in James 1:1 or the theology of men is lying. You seem to want this thread to be about works vs faith or faith + works but I am here saying you must take a stand on James 1;1 or the religious theology of today. James said his writing...

    Was James confused?

    *** I just love it. All those people who think they are so good to others when in fact they aren't that good. Observe those trying to get out of the church but are blocked by those who are so oblivious to others that they block to door way to talk to others. Observe how those in a Sunday...

    Was James confused?

    *** When a sermon is preached based on the book of James to those under grace you are saying it is for them too. Which it isn't.

    Was James confused?

    *** Here are some facts that support my opinion. I find them interesting. But I know the religious will not see them. - 1. The word “Law” is found in 18 places 2. The word “grace” is found in 2 places 3. The word “Christ” is found in 2 places 4. The word “Justified” is found in 2 place with...

    Okay go ahead and bring all the scriptures under this thread and it will not satisfy the works crowd who insist that it takes a person's works to earn salvation.

    Was James confused?

    *** You seem to put this thread under a works v faith thread. But that is not what it is about. It is about taking the words of the scriptures to mean what they say. Answer the question, Did James write his book to the Jews only as he said he did or did he write it to all which He did not...

    Was James confused?

    *** And since you have said it that makes it true, right? Get off the fence. I know that what I believe IS IN THE BIBLE. Either the book of James was written to the Jews, as James said it was, or James lied. You can talk all around it and post all the scriptures you want but it will not make...
