Indeed, faith without works is DEAD.
Dead = doesn't exist in this world
Absolutely true. James was definitely addressing the false doctrine of Paul. Who else was teaching, at that time, that faith ALONE saves?
Nobody but Paul. Paul is the only one who teaches this false doctrine. Not Jesus or the Apostles.
There are a maximum number of 12 Apostles. The vision of new Jerusalem in Revelation states this while using the #12 so many times that the only reasonable conclusion is that John had the foresight to code into his book of Revelation that Paul is NOT an Apostle, so that his book would be used and we could figure it out.
Paul vs the 12 Apostles is the second act of the New Testament.
Which side are you on?

DeadSeaScrollsDeception
This is a link to a book that will take you through the dead sea scrolls discovery and the revelations contained in it chronicling James vs Paul.
It's interesting to say the least and you can navigate to the dead sea scrolls themselves if you want to.
Paul is the "wicked priest" and "spouter of lies"
James is the "teacher of righteousness."
All you have to do is read the New Testament and it becomes evident that we have all been lied to for 2000 years and the foundation of Pauline Christianity is lies and deception, anti-Semitism and the literal forsaking of God's Law is church doctrine.
Faith is NOT what saves us in Jesus teachings and just look at the "fruits" of Pauline Christianity and what you will find is disgusting.
Death to Pauline Christianity
Blessed be James the Righteous

I definitely agree that the whole doctrine of faith not Law is unsupported by Jesus words, therefore incorrect for a true disciple." By their fruits..."
Just look at the fruits of Pauline Christianity and Catholicism. Disgusting stuff, really.

Nobody is trying to draw you into hate.
But I guess discussing it is worse than pretending it didn't happen for you.
Crusades, Inquisition, witch hunts, witch trials of the Puritans and all the at the stake burnings of the Catholic church. Pedophiles in the priesthood worldwide and how many we will never truly know, holocaust ignorance. That's a short list.

Yes, every group has dirt on it but:
Not every group claims to have the vicar of Christ(God) as their leader. Chocking the evil deeds of the church up to "oh, well every group has some dirt" is delusional.
When you represent God the merciful in Christ and do things like the Crusades, Inquisition and the 2000 years of oppression at RCC hands, you are a hypocrite.
When you stick up for the organization today you are forgetting that past AND the present(pedophile priests still exist) and are a part of the problem.
I would rather be of the solution.

Well......you better make room in that cell that you threw Paul into....I just happened to open my bible today and found another offender.
Our old testament friend Nehemiah...He swore by God too. And unfortunately ....he made an untold number of Isrealite men tresspass by making them swear by God too.
Look it up....Neh 13:25 " So I contended with them and cursed them, struck some of them and pulled out their hair, and made them SWEAR BY GOD, saying You shall not give your daughters as wives to their sons, nor take their daughters for your sons or yourselves .
Well at least Paul will have some company. You know that was the only point that you made in your dialog that I thought might be valid. I knew the other point about Paul preaching against the law was wrong...because I know too many verses right off the top of my head that prove otherwise. And no I won't waste my time showing them to you because I know you probably have seen them already and don't care.
The ONLY point you made that SEEMED to have some validity. Was the point about Paul swearing by God. So anyway we have Paul and Nehemiah now...and I haven't even tried to find anymore. My bible LITERALLY opened to that passage today.
Im anxious to see what kind of wrangling you are going to do to get ole Nehemiah out of the slammer. I'm just sitting here relaxing...waiting to see your mental gymnastics display.

Is that the best you can do is attack me for telling the truth because you think telling the truth is "passive aggressive" ?
It isn't, and I am not. I am just exercising my right to do so and not get crucified or inquisitioned. And you can thank everyone but the church for that.
Like I said a week or so ago.
Im really concerned about your mental health. You should really see a shrink/psychiatrist.
Not even most religious people are so far into religion to the point of fundamentalism.
Not being offensive or what not just really really concerned about your well being.
