[Ali Imran]

Both Paul and James were looking at the same tree from different points of view lah!  Paul focused on the root of salvation while James was more interested in the fruits lah! Paul was dealing with legalism while James zeroed in on hypocrisy lah! Is this OK for you, my friend?

Paul said there is no need to follow the law anymore. James said Paul was wrong. So no, I reject your explanation. They were not looking at the same tree. This is a clear conflict and you are following Paul, which means you are not following James who was following Jesus's teaching on the issue of obedience to the Law.

You must admit that if you're honest.
