CDBJ,
Good day to ya brother. The study of these two Greek words (Pisteuo and Pistis) have always interested me. Not being the Greek scholar as others are I'm curious would Pistis as it is used in James be classified or considered an action verb?
In Him,
lionheart

Hello,
Your quotation is accurate but taken out of context. As given here the quote appears to demonstrate that obey the law makes one righteous. That is not correct. Later, Paul writes:
Romans 3:19-20 (ESV)
Now we know that whatever the law says it speaks to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be stopped, and the whole world may be held accountable to God. [20] For by works of the law no human being will be justified in his sight, since through the law comes knowledge of sin.
Since obeying the law does not justify anyone, how can Paul say that obedience to the law will justify? Paul's point in chapter two (as you follow it through to chapter four) is to make plain the fact that he is comparing the Jews who hear the law and do nothing because they really do not believe it to Gentiles who have not heard the law but instinctively do part of it. He is trying to point out that the high-minded Jews are no better than the barbarians mentioned in chapter one. Then he summarizes in chapter three that ALL men are sinners and we cannot do ANY work to justify ourselves.

It seems as though you are taking a defensive position for some reason. Where in my previous post “did I” say that you didn’t have the Son?
The only thing that you confused me with was the sorrow ploy which I can’t find in Scripture.
Boiling down salvation, to its simplest form, is found in the most popular verse in the Bible.
John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
The problem comes from what the Koine Greek word of the New testament, believe, actually means.
pisteuo, Greek 4100, Strong’s
pisteuo, pist-yoo'-o; from Greek 4102 (pistis); to have faith (in, upon, or with respect to, a person or thing), i.e. credit; by implication to entrust (especially one's spiritual well-being to Christ) believe (-r), commit (to trust), put in trust with.
Faith or believe are transitive verbs, there is no merit in faith; it’s the object of the verb that gets all of the credit, not the fact of faith. The total merit in God’s plan is the person of His unique Son, Jesus the Christ. If one places all of his hope for eternal life in who and what Jesus did God gives eternal life as a free gift.
Romans 6:23
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Repentance and faith are two sides of the same coin. Repentance isn’t sorrow as many would have one believe but it comes to us from the word “METANOEO”, meta to change and noeo for mind, i.e. have a change of mind about the person of Christ.
Luke 13:5
I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
Couple that with the following.
John 14:6
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
These aren’t my ideas, its God’s Word.
Have a great day, CDBJ

The law was fulfilled by adding to it. "The law was added so that the trespass might increase." Rom. 5:20 Also see Heb. 7:12b. |

I tend to think since you are in the classification of each man too and by this fact required by God to give him a direct account about his only begotten son's life lost by bloodshed that your argument is with Him rather than with me. |

Glad you find it intresting that I have used more words than you allow. As for your assumption that I do not have the son' prove that you do. then worry about the speck in my eye. |

Dear Mr. Jones,
Being sorry has NOTHING to do with repentance. Changing your mindset and the direction in which you're headed has EVERYTHING to do with repentance.
One can be truly sorry that they cheated on their spouse, stole money from the till, scarfed away that cookie cooling on the rack, etc. That same person was probably even sorrier the next time they did the deed, and the next, and the next....
Repentance institutes a CHANGE, not only in attitude but in actions. There will never again be a second (or third, or fourth, etc.) time. The mind (or heart, if you prefer to call it that) is changed by an act of the will - this is repentance which leads to salvation. Brought on by the Holy Spirit, convicting the inner man that is now alive in those of us called by God to be walking epistles.
Other deeds will be committed, we are all human, and we're basically "screw-ups", but being sorry for these deeds will accomplish nothing except condemnation. Only a changing of our thinking and behavior will turn us toward the Way and keep us walking in that direction. And we can only do this by the Spirit of our Lord and Master.
