And btw these passages are about the DEEP things of God which I already explained at least a year ago if not two.
NOT about the Gospel, so you can put those aside as you PROOF tests.
Your explanations are never correct because they do not emanate from the gospel's one and only true foundation - that Christ alone is Savior, and all that implies, but instead, are man based. For any conclusion to be correct, it must rest solely upon Christ, which yours don't and therefore are untrustworthy. Just because in your mind, you think you've explained something, is not reason for anyone else to believe or trust it - in fact, just the opposite is true. I am not surprised you are unable to comprehend/understand/accept my post as I didn't really expect you would because, at least so far, you are unable to see/recognize the spiritual.

Now now Roger, do you not realize that you are supposed to remember their posts from 2 years ago??? It's so unfair of you, if you want them to explain their unbiblical point of view again. Oh, And don't try telling us that you didn't read their posts from 2 years ago. Such a tactic will not work on us.

The Apostle Paul said he ran a good race and fought the good fight.

That is a lot of effort to be doing to think his Letters mean we do nothing because God does it all.

Well, you are the first soul I have met who said that, so please explain the difference per Scripture re GRFS.
Thanks!
Soul has more the one meaning, but yes sometimes it is used in that way.

Well, the point is both how people react and encouraging them to be good soil.
If they are not saved. Then them doing good is not going to help them
what good is it if you do good then end up in hell because your faith was not real ?

When you understand that James is speaking to another interlocutor than maybe you will understand the letters.
When you understand James is attacking a false gospel. Then maybe you will understand
either way. Nothing you say makes sense when reading James words

James writing to people telling them they are not saved because they do not have works.
Paul must have been very pleased.
No
James told them to test their faith to make sure it was real and not just a claimed faith
all you are doing is continually twisting what James said to fit your doctrine
if you think a person can be saved and have no faith
talk about easy believes that’s rendering on universalism

Oh yes, James is telling them to see if they have works so they know they are saved.
Lots of people do good works.
