It will follow then that to agree with Charis Grace Lim that James should not be in the bible and should be edited from it, that possibly James was falsely claiming the Spirit or Lim's faith is not sufficient to appreciate James' matter of fact opposition to him. These two individuals have opposing doctrines on what grace is.
So you believe that everybody will make it to heaven.......The Law of Moses via the human will has a perfect record with zero wins.
Jesus Christ via the will of God has a perfect record of zero losses.
They are both polar opposite in relation to their role in God's overall plan of redemption.They both do perfectly what they're designed to do. Anyone who seeks to be justified by the Law is in essence attempting to prove God wrong!!
Anyone who acknowledges the truth of salvation in Christ Jesus by grace alone through faith alone is testifying to God's rightness!!
Grace, it really is that simple and profound!

No, not implying that.So you believe that everybody will make it to heaven.......
Its the other side of "Christ in you, the hope of glory"."the body without the spirit is dead".... I find this an interesting statement.
One thing is for sure you have a very different view of the law of Moses "law of Yahweh " ,than king David "A man after Yahweh's own heart" does.The Law of Moses via the human will has a perfect record with zero wins.
Jesus Christ via the will of God has a perfect record of zero losses.

Either the cross worked or it didn't. Either we live by the power of an indestructible life or we hold back some oysters to feed to the law/rules/dogmas etc. of Moses.One thing is for sure you have a very different view of the law of Moses "law of Yahweh " ,than king David "A man after Yahweh's own heart" does.
I could insert lots of single verses that shows Paul saying the law is good and should not be discounted but I believe the bible should be read as a whole and not single verses picked to make a sermon. I know Paul's writings are tough to understand but I also believe that the law of Moses and Grace can and should be harmonized.The Apostle Paul said it was through the Law that he DIED to the Law, so that he might live for God (Galatians 2:19).
He is saying that the harder he hustled trying to keep God's commandments, the more death and condemnation consumed him as a result (Galatians2:18).
It's hard for some to see this, but If your so-called commandment keeping doesn't kill you then you're using it unlawfully! The quicker you let it kill your hope in your self sufficiency & self righteousness the better! Only then can you see the law pointing you to Jesus Christ by grace alone through faith alone!
There must be a crucible that you soon face that will prove whose guiding you, your flesh (patterned after the knowledge of good and evil) or the Spirit who is your very Life.

Paul said that he died to the law so that he might live to God. (Galatians 2:19-20)
Also,
21 I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!
Was Paul lying? Or deceived?
Rom 7:
5 For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions were aroused by the law in every part of us and bore fruit for death.
6 But now we have been released from the law, since we have died to what held us, so that we may serve in the new way[c] of the Spirit and not in the old letter of the law.
The perfect standard of the law was to bring about the knowledge of our sin, and point to Christ as the solution for righteousness.
Rom 8:
3 For what the Law could not do, weak as it was through the flesh, God did: sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, He condemned sin in the flesh,
4 so that the requirement of the Law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.
Peace
