Faith, after all, hasn't got any power. It's what you putting your faith in that radiates the power, as much or as little power as the thing posesses. You put you faith in the chair when you sit down, your trusting it to hold you up. Does your faith make the chair hold you up? No. If you put you faith in a chair you just made out of toothpicks and cotton balls will your faith give it the power and stability to hold you up? No!<BR/><BR/>Is it your works that save you? What about the people who said "Lord, Lord" and did all kinds of works for Him but didn't enter into His rest?<BR/><BR/>My Mom is reading a book about this currently. It seems that the faith comes first. You believe and trust and love God and the "good works" just come naturally. You care about the people around you.<BR/><BR/>It's all very confusing.<BR/><BR/>Great post!

Luther taught that we are saved not by our works but by our faith alone, and that verse very clearly disproves that. But as the verse goes, "faith without works is dead," it also goes the other way around: "works without faith is dead."Delaneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11135536326246453958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6894847347334024798.post-37597336096060079322008-10-27T11:26:00.000-07:002008-10-27T11:26:00.000-07:00*Alyosha decides to play the devil's advocate--er-...*Alyosha decides to play the devil's advocate--er--not literally, you understand*<BR/><BR/>I assure you that most Protestants are fully aware of the book of James, including that verse. :P (Obviously Luther wasn't successful in his venture--we don't look up to him as a god or anything; he was fallible like the rest of us.)<BR/><BR/>I don't see how James contradicts the Sola Fida doctrine any more than Ephesians 2:8-9, Romans 3:28, or Romans 11:6 (among others) contradict Catholic doctrine. Though I would be interested in finding out how Catholics explain those verses...need to look that up.<BR/><BR/>Little kids are so much fun to just be around and observe--for some reason I can communicate with them (and with adults) much more easily than with people my own age. Not to mention their extreme quotability. :P<BR/><BR/>The idea of a little Delaney declaring her Ozzian identity is very amusing. Poor unenlightened boys.<BR/><BR/>Perhaps I shall give The Music Man another try, if only to see what sort of person this Mrs Paroo is.^^Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6894847347334024798.post-45352260632010063072008-10-27T07:16:00.000-07:002008-10-27T07:16:00.000-07:00*grabs onto James as well* No, Martin!
