That seems to be precisely what Yakov/James is 'implying' in 'show me your faith by your works.' The essence of Hebraic thought patterns, according to my own reading of Scripture (and "let this mind be in you, which was also in [Him]") is that...

I’ve got nothing. I don’t know if there is anything new. It’s just a common phrase from scripture that I want to make sure is being used properly. It could be an idiom for something we are misinterpreting.

But it was implied earlier in the thread that a persons actions, or inactions meant they were not truly of the faith. I could be wrong, but that’s the overall impression I was getting. I’m not going back in the thread. I’m about to leave in my...

None of us are and praise Yah for it or all of us would have someone, somewhere that would condemn us quickly. I know that we are not the judge for salvation but we are to judge within the assembly for the sake of the sheep.

Amen. And we know our Saviour was tempted in all points as we are yet He never sinned.
