Faith is like breathing.

Works without faith are dead works.

So what James is saying, breathing is not enough, you need to exercise regularly also.

There are a number of verses in James stating that faith alone is not enough.

Jas 2:18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. {without: some copies read, by }
Jas 2:20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
Jas 2:26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. {spirit: or, breath }

So I only prefer what words that you accuse me OF ??

I. would like to. to see what they are ?

And I do admit that I perfer what Paul as he is the APOSTLE TO THE GENTILES as. in. Rom 11:13 and 1. Tim 2:7. !!

Just asking which apostle do you follow with a verse ??

There is no reason to prefer any NT author over another because they were all inspired by the Holy Spirit.

I can only imagine what is in your head about what Words of God do not apply to everyone Dan

For me, I accept whatever is written by the prophets, Apostles or quotes of God, The Lord and Jesus as applicable to everyone in some forms or fashions

And 1. Cor 11:1 says different. , You become IMITATORS of ME , which means in. the Greek is EMFACTIAC. meaning only PAUL ,

that you are to follow , because Paul is the APOSTLE of. the GENTILES IN ROM 11:13. and NOT. to Peter or the 12 apostles
