To qualify as a Christian today, one is required to give their assent to a list of ancient, first-century formulations of theology.

Belief in Jesus AS Son of God, born of a virgin, Savior of the World, Messiah, etc. is given much more importance than actually following his parabolic teachings of the Kingdom of God.

Such “belief-based” qualities are no longer compelling in today’s world.
“Action-based” Christianity is virtually ignored by today’s believers.

You really don't know much about Christianity do you?

They are the same according to my Bible.
When was the last time you took “love your enemies” seriously?

What have you done for the poor? Have you given to “everyone who begs of you”?

Have you “given all” to the poor?

Have you been accountable to the narrow tribalism of your own earthly family?

Have you stood fast against the powers and principalities of the American Empire?

Have you refrained from judging your brothers and sisters?

Are you my judge?

If you are, there is something in your eye that is as big as a telephone pole.

So James' Epistle is wrong?


James was a Judaizer.

a Judaizer is one that believes in Jesus, but also believes that one must keep the law of Moses.

Scripture, Galatians 2:12-14.

James was the head of the church in Jerusalem.

Acts 15:1-21.

Read it for yourself and make your own conclusion.

James is one of the first books of the New Testament. There were many that could not believe that they were no longer required to live according to the law of Moses. This is why Paul taught that the "JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH" and not according to the law of Moses.

The Bible is an honest and truthful book.

It does not hide the sins and the mistakes of God's people.

Who said the scripture wasn't a truthful book ? You made the false accusation against the Apostle James, not the scripture ! In fact, you dont believe the scripture, not even the Gospel !

This happened when the Fathers of the Church plagiarized the prophecies in the Tanach to enhance the credibility of the NT. In fact, it has become the practice of the day to this day.
