This is tantamount to rejecting God which is what the world has done contrary to the evidence.

James was included into the canon by the Holy Spirit to showcase the heresy of works parading under the false guise of faith.

James was a Judahizer who grafted Jesus onto Moses law - heresy.
Thanks Chris. Now from an agnostic:
On odd numbered days I'm an atheist, and on even days I'm a theist. Today is the 27th, so Trevor's whole post is bunk, and claiming I reject god is silly. Reject who?

Tomorrow, the 28th, my response will be, "Remember your roots, Trevor."

And now, to you anyway, it's heresy. Recall that James was an original apostle and some say he was the brother of Jesus. He was head of the Christian Church in Jerusalem, and like Jesus, preferred deeds over the lip-service of faith.

He's probably gone. People who have their belief systems outright rejected tend to take it too personal and leave. :shrugs:
