If your interpretation of Romans 11:6 were true--and I believe it is in error--it would directly contradiction James 2 (see below). How do you reconcile your interpretation of Romans 11:6 with James 2:14-26?

What's to interpret??? Every word in the passage except for one has one syllable...Most of the words are 4 letters and less...It has nothing to do with understanding...It all has to do with belief...

The passages in James that you cite have far larger words and are more complex...Why not reinterpret the passages in James in stead???

If you ever chose to believe the passages as they stand, it will be as tho God has taken a veil from your mind...

The verses DO contradict each other...And if you ever accept that, the scriptures will open up to you...You will no longer have to claim 9 out of 10 verses are a metaphor because they escape your understanding...

So you are saying you don't believe James to be the inspired Word of God? You want to put James in the appendix but keep Paul's letters? If you are going to be Protestant, hey, might as well go all the way. Luther already threw out seven books. Why not one more? While you are at it, why not throw out the whole Bible and become an atheist? It's the fashionable thing to do in Europe these days.
