I dont have time to do this now as i have to leave, but if you look it up on google or wikipedia (epistle of james), you´ll find what i am talking about. Thanks for all the information you gave me today. P.S. - all this thing about contradictions in the bible (i mean in the new testament), seems to be because each was written to a specific group in mind, so they would emphasize different things and maybe that gives people an idea that is contradictory. But you know more this than me, because you have a degree on this, so i will just shut up now. Thanks again. |
You're right. I said, I view this a s a contradiction. Read my post just above. same topic. To me when one says one thing and some one else purportedly from the same group says something different then that is a contradiction. If others want to think it is ok since it is a different audience then that's their thing. It sounds dishonest for them to tell people what they want to hear just to sell them the idea.
