"James was not the question and I'll happily discuss that with you later as with your other points. ... But for now the simple question remains answered :- Please list the verses where Paul teaches 'works' are required for you & I to be justified/saved .. The PAUL verses you quoted are relevant to eternal rewards and how a SAVED believer should lead their lives but not to how they are JUSTIFIED in the eyes of God. .. Verses please"
zbusc,
You are sounding like Wotsup. Paul worked and those associated with him worked also.
Actions speak louder than words.
Phil 4:3
Yes, and I ask you, true yokefellow, help these women who labored together with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the book of life.
They have a living faith because they worked.
As James says "faith without works is dead"
Paul knows this and he works hard.
Your name can be removed from the Book of Life.
Once saved always saved is false.
Rev 3:5
The one overcoming thus will be clothed in white garments. And I will never blot out his name from the book of life, and I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels.
zbusc, there are no eternal rewards if your faith is dead.
A person with a dead faith written in the Book of Life is an oxymoron.
