David Pawson quotes from the video transcribed by Jeff Fenske:

Beautiful & Important!!!

* * *

“When he [Martin Luther] translated the Bible,
he put James in the appendix at the end.”

See:
Luther: Let us BANISH the epistle of James, for it is ‘WORTHLESS’ —
written by a non-Christian and can’t be reconciled with Paul
and
Martin Luther’s Subordinate Bible Books:
Hebrews, James, Jude & Revelation

“Martin Luther was no more infallible than the Pope he opposed.”

“I believe James needs the rest of the New Testament,
and the rest of the New Testament needs James.”

“We need both Paul and James to get this right.”

* * *

“Paul was defending Gentiles from Jewish [works of the law] legalism,
whereas James was defending Jews from Gentile license [to sin].”

* * *

“Legalism says we are saved by works [of the law].
License says we are saved without works [actions].
But liberty says we are saved for works [actions].”

“Legalism says we’re going to make sure that you are not free to sin
by rules and regulations [the law].
License says you are free to sin.
Liberty says we are free not to sin.”

* * *

“When Paul says works he means works of the law.
[e.g. Gal. 2:16 & Rom. 3:28]
But when James talks about works he doesn’t mean that.
I think it’s better translated…with the word actions.
And what James is saying is ‘faith without actions is dead‘ —
not ‘faith without works of the law.’

And he uses the illustration that love without actions is no use. …
Unless you act in faith you don’t have faith.
Professing faith can’t save you.
He says even the devils believe….”

“Faith without actions cannot save you.
It’s as dead as a corpse.”

James, Faith or Works?

Martin Luther actually ended up being crazy;
though, his false-salvation doctrine is taught by most pastors today.
…destroyed by his own doctrine,
which is destroying US.
