James was inspired by the Holy Spirit, as it was perhaps first of the NT books recorded down for us, and he and Paul do not contradict at all when rightly understood!No, the Bible does not state that the Book of James is the inspired word of God. If it said that you should be able to give me the exact chapter and verse where I can find this teaching. But you cannot.
It is the tradition of the Church that holds that the Book of James is the inspired word of God. The same tradition on which your beliefs are based but which you cannot admit because it conflicts with your theology.
And of course I believe the Bible to be divinely revealed. I have made that clear several times so there is not need for you to keep beating the same dead horse. What I do not hold is that Sacred Scripture purports that each of the books in the canon to be Sacred Scripture. If that were the case Martin Luther, the person most closely associated with Sola Scriptura itself, could not have been so quick to have thrown James out of the Bible. If that were the case you could give me the chapter and verse that teaches that James is the inspired word of God. You cannot.
First, the comment that I wrote was not directed to you. Second, no. This is not true. I have no misunderstanding whatsoever. Nor have you explained what the alleged misunderstanding is. This simply amounts to an ad hominem attack without substance.
