As I said, it's only a contradiction to you because you automatically apply your osas presupposition that tells you it can't possibly be talking about a sanctified/saved person, so you instantly throw out that possibility and invented a sanctified unsaved person that the Bible itself says doesn't exist. THAT interpretation is what creates the contradiction in the passage.
You can't see it right there in James that it's talking about being shown to be righteous?
I hope you're just sharing this for other's benefit, because I'm full on board with this.We show our faith by our works, but we do not establish it. Faith expresses itself through love because when we are saved through faith, we receive the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 1:13) and God’s love has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us. (Romans 5:5)
I understand them perfectly.
I know that James is talking about being shown to be righteous. Thank you for finally spelling it out. I probably would not have come across to you as defensive if you would have clearly spelled it out the first time I asked you.
Continue to ignore sanctified once for all/for all time (Hebrews 10:10,14) if you wish and remain satisfied with your contraction with Hebrews 10:29 (according to your interpretation) for the sake of your agenda if you wish, but I'm not buying it. Also ignore the fact that an unsaved person (unbelieving spouse) was sanctified in 1 Corinthians 7:14, but just call that invented as well and believe that person doesn't exist either. By your conclusion, you are ignoring the context of Hebrews 10.
The point was to illustrate the difference between being justified (it means one thing) and actually laying hold of the inheritance in salvation. By definition 'justified' and 'saved' are not the same thing. An important point that may help people understand the argument against osas.
Now show me using the context of Hebrews what 'once for all time' means.
Using the context of 1 Corinthians 7:14 show me what the purpose was for God sanctifying the unbelieving spouse for the believer. It says it right there. Then we'll apply it to Hebrews 10 so you can see you're inventing a fictitious sanctified unbeliever. One that scripture goes out of the way to say doesn't exist.
1 Corinthians 6:11 - And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.....But not saved, huh? You interpret the Bible through the lens of attacking OSAS.
Roman Catholics also like to make eternal life something that might or might not happen for believers. They heavily push eternal IN-security and they even have their own translation of John 3:16 in the NAB that reads - For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life. *Notice not one, but two "mights." hmm..
So do I am and I'm getting ready to leave for work soon.@mailmandan, I still have to work for a living, I'll be back later.
I'm out of time for now and we already previously discussed this.

Romans 8:30 clearly states - Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified. *ALL of them.
How many times has he been shown this
