The tell all for me was when Paul said, show me your works and I'll show you my faith and my faith will win every time.
And the Apostle James taught "that faith without works is dead".
Does anybody know WHY that is?
Because love is what you DO, not what you THINK. If you are not doing anything, you are NOT loving.
You're talking 2 different things. Paul is talking about faith vs works for salvation. He's saying that only faith can save you. James is talking about what real faith is. He's writing to Christians, those who already have the saving faith. He's telling them how to use that faith to do God's work.
