another with the tried and true misinterpretation of James

What's to misinterpret? I copy/pasted the verses directly from the Book of James.

If you have a problem with it - you need to take it up with James?

His words are plain and simple - tho' inconvenient for some, who choose, therefore, to skip over that little book - AND the fact that it was JAMES the Just, blood brother of Jesus, who inherited to leadership mantle after the Cruxifiction.

And that after James was killed in 62 AD, another blood relative led the believers = and then another until so many of the Diaspora was killed and/or had to go into hiding - so the leadership could be usurped.

I posture it is PAUL that the real followers of Jesus should be having the problem with - as did James, Peter and John.

His words are indeed plan and simple. If one is saved then they desire to do the work of the Lord. If for any reason that is gone, their faith is in jeopardy, it is a warning to us to look out for ourselves and our brothers and sisters in Christ for something is wrong.

It has nothing to do with “being saved after all we can do” as the LDS have made it out to be that is simple a gift from God.

Read the Bible, its in there...
