James did not contradict Paul. Who said the oppositeJames spoke to licentious people who CLAIMED to have faith, yet they had no works..
He asked the same question I would ask, Can that CLAIMED FAITH save them?
No. Mere belief never saved anyone
true faith is what saved, and true faith is NEVER devoid of works.

Yet again, you can not respond to my post.
I never judged you. I just stated a fact.. Only God can judge
you want to judge me, tell me why eternal life is not eternal. Tell me why when God said I will never die, I can still die. When God said I will be raised why I still may not be raised.
based on my work or lack of. And not his work and his promise]
feel free to tell me.

Rom 11: 6
And if by grace, then it is no longer of works; otherwise grace is no longer grace. But if it is of works, it is no longer grace; otherwise work is no longer work.
Romans 4: 2 For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God. 3 For what does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was [b]accounted to him for righteousness.” 4 Now to him who works, the wages are not counted as grace but as debt.
James did not contradict paul my friend
Your wrong Christianity is a grace based religion. However, Grace produced works. Because those saved by it work. Just like paul said in Eph 2: 19
All james is saying is if you claim to have faith, but do not have the works paul said result from faith. Can that faith save you.
No..
he attacked licentiousness
Now you need to heed pauls warnings against legalism
Going 180 degrees the other way because you hate licentious does not help yu. You need to come to the middle. Where you find grace

"this is how white supremacy has taken root in the protestant churches, the idea of God's elect focused on the flesh, not on the work of the Cross."

Paul writing to Timothy states that it is the will of God that all people be saved. Salvation requires that God chooses to save the sinner. God will choose to save all who call on his name in sincerity. His name is the Lord Jesus. The recipient of grace must be faithful till the end. That saint will then enter into God's rest. "Show me your faith without works and I will show you faith by my works".
John 14:23
Jesus replied, "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word. My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him.
Jesus replied, "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word. My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him.
If you think you will be saved because you do works.
Satan has deceived you..
I already told you whoever has faith WILL do works. So every time you keep trying to throw that passage in my face, You just keep making yourself look bad.
I love it how you refuse to look at the passages I have shown you. yet attack me as being satanic. then cry your the one being attacked.
A typical pharisee.

Faith of a mustard seed can move a mountain.
The man told Jesus, I believe, help me with my unbelief.
A person who has saving faith in God is not going to have perfect faith until the day they die. They do not have perfect faith on the day they are saved.
We are saved based on Gods promise, Not our faithfulness or ability to do good.
Lets give God the credit.
He has perfected forever those who are being sanctified.
Not everyone will reach spiritual adulthood. Many will sadly remain babes for whatever reason.
God will keep his promise, Because it is based on his reputation. Not ours.
