[Apologetics] Gospel of James

[Bret Bellamy]

Ah, that "pesky" book of James! The one that keeps telling us that good works are the fruit from the foundational tree of faith.  Faith that is talk with nothing to show for it is just empty words.  Just like Obama can say all the live long day that he doesn't like "pastor" Wright's comments, etc., but he stayed at that "church" for 20 years.  That tells me his "condemnation" of Wright's remarks are just shuck and jive so he can get the nomination and win the White House.  Ten to one if Obama wasn't running for the Presidency, he'd never have said a peep about those remarks.

My .02 anyway.
