Your mistaken.
James teaches justification through the work of obedience just like Paul.
Same principle.
The “work” that James refers to is obedience.
Abraham obeyed God in offering his son Issac on the altar.
This is the obedience of faith.
You will have to do better than just denying the truth of the scriptures.
Address the scriptures.
But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead?
Janes 2:20
No mention of James referring to the Apostle Paul as being vain here in
James 2:20.
James and Paul teach the same principle or law of faith.
The obedience of faith.
But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for theobedience of faith: Romans 16:26
James teaches the exact same principle of faith.
- Was not Abraham our father justifiedby works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar?
Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar? Do you see that faith was working together with his works, and by works faith was made perfect? And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.” And he was called the friend of God. You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only.
Likewise, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out another way?
For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. James 2:21-26
The works mentioned in verse 21 is obedience.
Not the works of the law.
Not work that earns a wage.
Not good works.
The work of obedience.
The obedience of faith.
