The book of James, I suggest reading it with the context of another language source, Bible, contradicts the idea of salvation through belief, directly.
Things to note, when carefully reading the "book of James".
• premise against salvation through belief, alone
•premise to "follow the law".
• criticism of salvation through belief
this book, whoever wrote it, seems like nothing more than a argument against Christian [other textual, belief, and teachings.
The way it reads in English, is interpretive, or seems interpretive, to justify the 'law of liberty', however, what does that mean. That clearly doesn't mean textually, the 'law of Faith'.
James 2:5 -note James 2:6, creating an argument
James 2:14
James 2:16 -saying the gospel of faith doesn't do anything
James 2:17
James 2:18
James 2:19-note contrast, argument, against the Law of Faith, James 2:18
James 2:20-works to obtain salvation
•
Note contradiction and contrast
Romans 3:27
Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.
[KJV]
Romans 10:3
Romans 10:4
