Paul and James: Do they really disagree?

examples :D

Works of Faith-Hbr 11:7 By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith. BY FAITH noah PREPARED AN ARK+works of faith
Hbr 11:8 ¶ By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went. BY FAITH abraham OBEYED AND WENT OUT+works of faith

Works of flesh-Gal 5:19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are [these]; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
Gal 5:20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
Gal 5:21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told [you] in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

Works of the law-Gal 3:10 ¶ For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed [is] every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.
Gal 3:11 But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, [it is] evident: for, The just shall live by faith.
Gal 3:12 And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.


The first kind-works of faith are also works of God and this verse goes with them-
Eph 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

Great post, GodspromisesRyes. As in the whole Word of God, Faith comes before Works. Until one has Faith, one cannot have Works. Salvation comes from Faith, and after Salvation through Faith comes Works. Believers are not under bondage to any law or man-made tradition as they are free in Christ Jesus who bought them with His blood. Amen and Hallelujah for our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
 
Wow, "the perfect law of liberty" - that is indeed the answer, thanks GodspromisesRyes - that was great.

and handy:

"If we are not walking in the law of liberty and doing the works that God has prepared for us, then we are not walking in the Spirit and if we are not walking in the Spirit then we are not born-again."

a radical thought ! , but it has to be the correct conclusion. That's meaty stuff.
