    *** It is the religious that want others to do works that they approve of as works. But it is God who determines the life of His children. I am on this forum boasting of the work of Jesus on the cross where He paid for the sins of the whole world. But the religious are on here trying to say...

    *** What you can't seem to see is that have already reconciled the two. One is writing to the Jews who were under the law and the other to the world under grace. Funny you can't seem to see it.

    *** According to the scriptures all will be judged by Paul's gospel of grace. Paul's gospel of grace is that Jesus paid for the sins of the world. The judgement will be """did you believe it."" Rom 2:16 16 in the day when God will judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ, according to my...

    Was James confused?

    *** You must get off the fence. Did James lie in verse James 1:1 or are those that continue to say it was written to the Gentile church too lying? Talking all around it will not make it go away. Perhaps the religious just can't see that Paul spent a lot of his writings trying to keep his...

    *** Good try but an empty one. Eph 2:4-9 4 But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, 5 even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), 6 and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the...

    *** So we are to lie and say James wrote to the Gentiles too. That doesn't make sense. Don't you know that I can see what some are doing? If I don't tow the line they wish they will do just as the Pharisees did when they lied about Jesus. I have proclaimed that James was writing to the...

    *** Can't you see it. The only love that fulfills the law is the love that Jesus poured out on the cross on our behalf. Man's love is bias and subject to the human sinful condition.

    Was James confused?

    *** The OT is a history of God dealing with mankind and it includes God selecting a people for His purpose. The 4 gospels are written to proclaim how He came to the Jews to give them the promised kingdom of heaven on earth and it detail the rejection by the Jews. The book of Acts is a...

    Was James confused?

    *** It happens the moment a person understands they are sinful and have no way of making themselves un-sinful and understand that God has made a way for them to be saved and that way is to place faith in HIS work on the cross.

    *** Ge off your high horse. I never said James lied, That is what those that claim he wrote to the Gentiles are doing. They are saying James lied in verse 1:1.

    Was James confused?

    *** That is what I have been saying. The truth iss that the bookof James was written to the Jews, James 1:1. To say otherwise is fulfilling verse 4 that you posted.

    Was James confused?

    *** The cross you are to pickup isn't trying not to sin. It is placing faith in Jesus' work on the cross without reverting to legalism.

    Was James confused?

    *** When a person becomes a child of God they have the righteousness of God imputed to them. If you wish to be judged by the law that is your choice.

    *** 1 Cor 6:10-12 10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God. Glorify...

    Was James confused?

    *** So Jesus needs a person's works to complete the salvation He gave to all by paying for their sins. I don't think so.

    Was James confused?

    *** No one is trying to throw out the book of James. But to force it into the age of grace is making it a lie. James wrote to the Jews, he said so. Is that throwing it out?

    Was James confused?

    *** Those under grace did not become Jews or Israel. That is a man made idea so that the Law can be required. Although it is true that under grace there is no difference between anyone before God. For all have sinned and therefore require Jesus shed blood to pay for their sins. Look, the...

    Was James confused?

    *** No man can fulfill the law. That is why Jesus fulfilled it FOR US. No man can fulfill the law. The law condemns all men because NO MAN CAN KEEP IT. But it seems that some think they can keep it. I guess that means Jesus didn't need to do it for us, right?
