Still trying to fight scripture with scripture...
Why is it you never post Eph. 2:8,9??? Not in the Catholic catechism???
You cite the scriptures, but you show that you don’t understand them apart from proof texting.
Yes I will fight erroneous interpretations of scripture with other scriptures.
2 Peter 3:15-16
“Even so faith, if it has not works, is dead, being alone. James 2:17 still trying to fight scripture with scripture”
James of course is written to the 12 tribes of Israel, from what I understand they accepted Christ but are very zealous towards the old law by their own choosing. So being justified “right with God” from their standpoint means faith and works, and if we’re not obeying God and doing Godly works then yes, it means our faith is dead/dormant and we’re not getting the benefits and are subject to the consequences. But salvation for those who believe is not in question.
