Faith and Works!

In James 2:26, Scholars throughout the centuries have felt that Paul and James were in conflict on the subject of faith and works.  Some felt that James was a man who believed in the law and was in conflict with the theology of Paul which states that faith comes without anything that man can do.  Paul's formula is faith plus nothing equals faith.  Paul and James are not in conflict.  Paul was talking about spiritual faith.  James is talking about practical faith.  James says he will show you his faith by what he does.  That is why James can say that faith wothout works is dead.  Your promises are:  Matt 9:29, 21:21, Rom 1:17, 5:1, 10:8, 10:17, Eph 2:8, Heb 10:23, 38, 11:1, & 6.  Your Insightful Sayings are:  The funny thing about New Age Philosophy and teachings is that it is old age demon worship repackaged.  Man is a funny creature, wise, thoughtful, kind, generous, and understanding one moment.  The next hateful, prejudice, cruel, rude and foolish.  The only creature capable of such mood changes.
