I don’t have an Aunt Jenny; therefore Chris is obviously an apostate.

What I meant by the ‘emergent and liberals’ thing was that if we debated the canon of James today, we’d do it much like others have done with the emergent movement which is most of the time considered ‘liberal’ by others. I didn’t explain it very well.

It pretty much didn’t make any sense, I’m nuts today lol. Let’s just say we’d be calling each other liberals and heretics pretty quickly if we were debating the cannon of James.

The same as you’ve stated, however your former comment was ambiguous and misleading.

Rick,
I see Matthew 25 in the light of James (comment #36). We are saved by grace through faith, faith which is a gift from God. That faith produces good works, good works like those Jesus speaks of in Matthew 25. If there is no good works coming forth it means there has been no faith to start with.

How would you understand Matthew 25?

“Matthew 25:31-46… A cup of water and some bread to the least of these can get you a place in heaven…”

Wow…

I don’t understand your comment about the “emergents” and other “liberals” Joe C.

I believe James to be consistent with the rest of the Bible. He’s just saying the same thing in different ways. Perhaps if the canon was being assembled today people would debate over it and misinterpret it like we do with “emergents” and other “liberals” nowadays.

You want Sola Scriptura? Matthew 25:31-46… A cup of water and some bread to the least of these can get you a place in heaven…
