Are you for real?? Do you REALLY need for me to explain this again?? The words James is using here, "Pistis" and "Pisteuo" have MORE than ONE definition each: "Pistis" means "Belief" and it also means "Faith". "Pisteuo" means "Believe" and it also means "To have Faith". James 2:19-19 But...

And WHICH one of those tens of thousands of iunterpretations is the "correct" one? Where do YOU go to settle matters - as prescribed by Christ Himself: Matt. 18:15-18 "If your brother sins (against you), go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have won...

WOW. How can you be so dense as to have something ecplained to them a DOZEN trimes and STILL not get it?? I spell it out as simply as I can so you will understand . . . - "Pisteuo" is ONE word. - However, this ONE word has MORE than ONE definition. - The English equivalent would be, "Believe"...

Interesting . . . And if Protestants ONLY listened to what the Apostl4es said - why are there tens of thousands of disjointed and perpetually-splintering sects - ALL reaching different and contradictory doctrines based on the different interretations of what the Apostles taught? Food for...

I know. Jesus warned about people like you . . . Luke 10:16 Whoever listens to YOU listens to ME. Whoever rejects YOU rejects ME. And whoever rejects ME rejects the ONE who sent ME." It's painfuolly obvious that you haven't actually read the text surrounding these cherry-picked verses - and...

That's a LIE. I never said - or even implied that. In facy - I have pointed out SEVERAL times that works of the LAw are NOT the same as the works that GOD Hinself prepearef for those of us in Christ - in advance to do (Eph. 2:10). So go back and READ the posts instead of spewing these pathetic...

Upi have it BACKEWARDS, son. You can't have FAITH without belief. You CAN have belief without faith. It doesn't take ANY faith to know (bewlieve) that 1+1=2. It's just a logical and mathematical FACT that can be arrived at by holding up 2 fingers. As I have educated you several times now -...

So you STILL lose the argument. YOUR podition all along had been that the demons "have Faith" (Pisteuo, James 2:19). However - according to Strong's Greek Concordance, this word hasa MULTIPLE definitions - and NOT all of them mean "Having Faith". This is James's argument regardijng the demons...

ONE more time . . . According to Strrong's Greek Concordance - this ONE word has MULTPLE definitions - and they DON'T all mean "Faith". It also means "Berlief". Original Word: πίστις, εως, ἡ Part of Speech: Noun, Feminine Transliteration: pistis Phonetic Spelling: (pis'-tis) Definition: faith...

WOW. I already showed you SEVERAL times now that the English, "bvelieve" has more than ONE mdefinition - so does the Greek, "pisteuo". It's absolutely amazing to me that you can be shown something several times and STILL not learn from it. ONE more time . . . "Pisteuo" (πιστευο) does NOT only...

WRONG. YOU falsely preach that works are a byproduyct of faith. The Church has ALWAYS taught as Scripture does - that works are an essential element of faith. Good grief - read Romans 4. He refers to the Law - NOT in Abraham's case, but to show his READERS that faiyth matters MORE than the...

Ummmm, we were talking about Catholic Traditions vs. Protestant traditions and SCRIPTURAL perversion of your Proterstant Fathers and their descendants. I realize that you don't have ANY ammunition there - bur if you want to get iinto the discussion about where thew sexual pewrversion exists - I...

Coirrection: True faith WORKS. It doesn't "have" works. No - you flubbed up the answer. Paul references the Law" no less than FIVE time in Romans 4. THIS is what his readers understood as "works", in context. Paul wasn't decrying the efficay of works - but works of the LAW and works that...

WRONG - that's not "faith." They lack the love, hope and obedience of faith. They simply have belief in the FACT that God is One. Knowing that 2+2=4 is not "faith". It's just knowledge of a simple fact.

WRONG. James's entire point is that beluef and faith are NOT the same thing. That's why he compared faith with a justified person in Christ and mere "belief" with the demons. The fact that yoiy can read the 2nd Chapter of James's Epistle and NOT understand this is frightening . . .

No - "Justified" is a condition. If a person is unemployed - they are unemployed - not just "shown to be "out of woerk.

Like the traditions of your Protestant Fathers and their perversions of Scripture?

Ummmm, since YOU are negating every element of faith except for belief - this is the ONLY conclusion I can come to. So - you'll have to define what YOU think "Faith" is again - because ALL of your posts point to simple belief without our cooperation with God's grace. Thanks for that gigantic...

That MAY be what he is explaining in verse 18 - but that is NOT wjat he is saying un verse 24. I even used YOUR KJV to illustrate this: James 2:24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and NOT by faith only. He flatly states that a person IS JUSTIFIED by works and NOT by faith...

Nice dodge . . . Pkay - "pisteuo" (πιστευο) does NOT only meran "having faith". It ALSO means "having Belief" (believing). Either way, you LOSE because you fail to understand that what James is saying in James 2:19 is that the demons DON'T have faith. They only have belief.
