Was God An Alien 5 Points Proving It
It's a big Question that "Do God Exist in reality " ? I have a Opinion on that Our God whom we worship were Aliens/UFO better say Aliens/UFOs are our God. I have many Points supporting Gods are Aliens which i will discuss in later part of this Article and thus exist in but sarcastically.

For Instance, In All civilizations, God is Believed to reside up in Sky somewhere or Universe somewhere..( Does it Ring Something ? )

Anything with very High Technology maybe termed Miracle and that's what Humans are fond of, and that's what they ancient mean though when they saw some spaceship,etc

For Instance, Jesus's Mother was a Virgin and suddenly she gets Pregnant..( Effect of Artificial Womb, which was not present at that time) and Jesus takes Birth.

I already Gave you guys 2 Points, Now moving to other Points which i am going demonstrate now.

POINTS PROVING GOD WAS AN ALIEN/UFO :


1. DEPICTION OF GOD AS ASTRONAUTS BY ANCIENT CIVILIZATIONS :

Many Ancient civilizations like Sumerians used to Worship People ( or GOD) who came from skies. As i stated above we humans have a niche for People coming from World we dont know and we start Worshiping him Like. Dont Believe me yet?

Well, Consider this real incident.. " During World war 2, a pilot crashed in Brazilian Rain forest and Native people of that area started to believe him as God, they even formed a Religion on him which consisted of Wreckage of plane as a Holy Object with his other objects like Cigar Case,etc"

So, People unknown to science are always fond of such things and same has happened with People of sumeria or Egypt,etc. I Posting some Pictures to prove myself.

2. VARIOUS RELIGIOUS TEXT BOOKS

According to many religious TextBook there used be something like Flying Saucer. Take it Ramayana, where Chariots used to fly in which God used to sit.

According to Book of Ezekiel which recounts a vision in which Ezekiel sees an immense cloud (Gas residue) that contains fire and emits lightning and brilliant light.

It moves on as,The center of the fire looked like glowing metal, and in the fire was what looked like four living creatures.

The creatures were described as winged and humanoid( some Genetic Lifeform where Human body and Birds would have combined), they sped back and forth like flashes of lightning and fire moved back and forth among the creatures.

The passage goes on to describe four shiny objects, each appearing like a wheel intersecting a wheel. These objects could fly and they moved with the creatures: "When the living creatures moved, the wheels beside them moved; and when the living creatures rose from the ground, the wheels also rose. [ Courtesy : Wikipedia]

3. ANCIENT MONOLITHIC WONDERS

I had already discussed about this Topic in mine Previous Blog Post that Aliens were one who created Building like The Pyramids of Giza or Baghdad Battery or Stonehenge,etc

So, I will suggest you guys to read that there, since i hate re-posting :)

Check these here :


5 Unsolved Mysteries of World

5 points proving alien existence


4. ANCIENT RELIGIOUS PRACTICES

Many Ancient Religious Practices have justified that they used to follow some weird Practices and deities which included trying to immitiate their God ( better say Aliens ). These Practices included Stretching head of their Children to immitiate looks of their God ( Aliens). Dont Believe me ? check this Picture from wikipedia which shows Skull of a person of Nazca Civilization :

Well, i hope you get mine message, what i am trying to convey. Why will people of any civilization try such act.? It's Obvious to immitiate someone very Important, someone like whom they say God, someone who can perform Miracles, or someone like highly Brained Aliens.

5. NAZCA LINES

Well, I am pretty sure that most of you are not familiar with Nazca Lines. Well, Basically, these lines are huge Drawings in desert of Peru, which was not possible by any means by humans of that time, stretching to 80 km. Why?

Basically, These Lines are not simply lines but instead these huge Pictures of Monkeys, Spiders,etc, some even are 200 m long drawing which is not possible by today age Humans to even dont use Planes,etc to see what they have drawn and what they are drawing.Now, you must be wondering when they conducted this shit-ish art? Well, according to scholars, it was is mid of 400 AD. But Why they did so stupid work?

Basically, their aim was to be seen by Gods flying in Sky( Sounds rather Fishy to me). Amazing Part is all of the Pictures are representation of some constellation ( how come these old people knew about constellations and their Shapes). Now, are you getting where i am trying to get?

I STILL HAVE SOME MORE POINTS WHICH I MAY INCLUDE IN NEXT ISSUE OF THIS POST, IF YOU GUYS LIKE THIS ONE.Well, I hope You all like mine This post. Please comment down there to show that you liked it or share it with friends or subscribe to us. Since, i really want to know how i am writing and i am satisfying your needs or not :)

The Secrets Of Dr John Richard Taverner
BOOK: THE SECRETS OF DR JOHN RICHARD TAVERNER BY DION Depth

The works of Dion Depth grip come full circle. From their effect in vogue the occult renaissance of the undeveloped 20th century to the expiration of their copyright in 1997, these works are of input consequences to the occult apprentice of today and, we expectation, of the doom. What's more her fabrication and non-fiction works are crucial reading for any grave apprentice of our Western Mystery Tradition.

This book is whatever thing that I was fortunate adequately to show up upon undeveloped in my occult training and represented, to me, what we may all require to become. The individual of Taverner himself is the epitome of a modern occultist living "in the world but not of it" as they say. Notwithstanding his methods and reputation as a magician ability put scoff from others, he himself maintains a crack in the midst of the two and is what's more occultist and well firm doctor of medicine, a provocation we all plate and require to organize.

This individual book is a collection of stories that Dion Depth had in black and white with the fascinated of presenting them by way of a recurring for the benefit of magazine publications. Also story represents a regard "case" not unusual the stories of Sherlock Holmes from which she noticeably draws her style. Bigger than that, each case is a dutiful of lesson about occultism, whether it is the practice or mis-practice of occultism or an solution of occult laws.

As a work of fabrication, I expectation you maintain it; as a meeting of occultism, I expectation you find it valuable; and as a whole section, I expectation you love these stories as outlying as I do and find delight in reading them flat and flat anew.

).

YAYN

- Go through for "Tom Altman cameraman", which gives you this site
[http://www.agence-tomaltman.com/qui.html].

Identify out who they are, and you should find Tom's own website
[http://www.tomalt.net/] (and his Interrogate card info).

SADEDALI


- Grimace by clicking all eyes, and one will put off open (and stipulate some keyword hints).

- Go through for "1514 durer melancholia", which gives you this site
[http://www.mathpuzzle.com/masquare.htm] and the rig for this part of the deceive.

The crowd impart to the alphabet, but seeing that the magic court crowd got greater than before by 5, you craving to do the exact thing with the alphabet. (easiest is to plummet the crowd by 5 and they'll impart now with the alphabet).

- Note: A video is shown, and in state the side of the road name is mentioned anywhere Hilde Gardener is murdered (you craving this name in SALLA: so pay attention). It sounds equally "Stein
" something... (later you'll find out that they are
actually walking down the side of the road which starts at the errand of the Beloved Boutique
)

SALLA


- A video is shown and advertisement that Hilde was burned state in a cellar; found some references on it in the function of looking regarding (zwischenhausen - Garfenlaube - Boutique Beloved - Stein immobilien - and information to Schloss (fort) -
Altstadt (old/ancient part of neighborhood)). Questioning for any of these words in Marburg did not stipulate whatever square. So went on with other puzzles, and found reference in Sadedali. But: read remark beneath...

- No prompt analysis what to do/look for, untill a mail arrives dramatic to hideaway for the side of the road in Marburg anywhere the loss took place. Tranquil, difficult to find a good map of Marburg (I did find one state
[http://www.marburg.de/en/24679]
). You craving to know that the church is cozy to the railway direct (Haupt bahnhof), at the errand of "Deutsch hausstrasse"
(a fact that I found on modern map, but with no side of the road truth). Specifically on both sides of the Amerika Haus, you'll word a side of the road stating "Steinw." (in German, Steinweg, Dutch steenweg, French chausse). Fyi: stein, steen, stone can very transport the meaning of fort (as follows, the reference to schloss).

increase (and voted for) hideaway work...

- The subsequent deceive ask you to find day of daybreak and place of Hilde (her day of death=2nd daybreak of Tellus was 12/01/2006, as shown on the put out of sight). You'll find this info at her special site. Overwrite the catch sight of fields, and saturate in the place of origin in the keep outlook.

Note: I was of course that impart had to be some hint in the photo/video. So instead of going for long-standing inquisitive, I looked up the addresses in the German Yellowish-brown Pages [http://www.gelbeseiten.de/yp/quick.yp].

> Stein Immobilien = Ketzerbach side of the road (no cigar, but cozy)

> Boutique Beloved = no pursue (moreover searched reasonable on Beloved, and bingo
= Steinweg
). The map is very of surpass air and gives appropriate side of the road location/orientation (5 streets trip).

> Garfenlaube (emptiness, but it gave me a decision to hideaway for Gartenlaube =
Steinweg
)

THAMUR


- You craving to drag 3 zodiac symbols to the principal (see 3 feeble squares bonus).
A mail (later) tells you what to do (in soul, find the 3 zodiac symbols unintentional to fire.

- A list of names get up. At the forefront inquisitive for any of them, start slow-paced the names to the fire. In comport yourself so, about 4 of them put off. Try any of them will not work.

- Go through for "markus ackerman" and this site will be returned [http://www.ukde.
org/index.htm
] (word the other names in the hideaway text). You'll find modern Markus on this site, and his keep name solves the deceive.

NERON


- Specifically click on the crosses, and some key will stipulate a (climbing) skillful.
You can moreover promptly find the 5 key you craving.

- A advertisement tells you to facade alongside to the picture, and you craving to order the symbols according to the Seven Skies. Leave-taking regarding the picture shows the amount
"440" everyplace. Now go and hideaway for "Leyde 440" and this site is returned
[http://www.chimie-medievale.com/fr/index.htm]. On one of the pages, you'll find the seven symbols; reasonable game their order (switch on the empty circles for last; or do them first). Btw: this references to Johannes Trithemius, found in a mail sent out of date in the beginning of the game (The row recycled by Trithemius is Saturn, Venus, Jupiter, Mercury, Mars, Moon, Sun).

OURER


- Keywords given: Tycho Brahe Palace

- You craving to renovation the ability (on the dot best quality errand crust empty).

- You now are asked for a name, and a palace (?) is shown. I had seen this picture before; a palace he had bought and restored as an observatory. So evt.
I went inquisitive for "tycho brahe astronomy" which returned
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tycho Brahe]. You'll find the appropriate picture, and name of the palace.

- Keywords given: Fan of Mars, ancient period civil. A mail (later) tells us that Venus is that lover. I started inquisitive for "venus ancient egypt" and came on both sides of this site [http://interoz.com/egypt/gods1.htm]. Looking for Venus in that page, I stumbled on both sides of "Phoenix" as well ! Questioning for "venus ancient egypt Phoenix" returned this site
[http://www.egyptianmyths.net/phoenix.htm], which gives us square the name of the civil. (I missed its name sooner than on the first site, btw)

Note: some supercilious mails followed confirming the lead to this information.

TANIE


- Bring/bounce the take notes circle to the principal of the picture; moreover make it ward off (horizontally) on top of the vanished bar. In my fire at, it square showed post in black and white down on the workstation. (but you can visibly charge it via the video as well). I saw these signs prior in Bewildered I; and found them back state [http://www.demagia.net/corne.html]. This page allows you to account for the post.

- The 56th will deduce you to him. Logion 38 refers to the Gospel of Thomas, but inquisitive did not stipulate whatever valuable yet; neither did logion 56. A subsequent mail tells us that logion 56 force indicate that we craving to find the life form that exposed Carolina in Benatky... The 4th and 8th video speaks about the Prague policeman Jamek (but name could be immoral, tried it). A mail (later)
confirms the name (incl spelling) but it's not the rig. So he was the policman effective the chemical analysis.

- I searched for "Jamek Benatky", which leads us to this site
[http://www.radiozakaz-cz.net/]. Examination the pages didn't square help.
A mail (later) tells us that we craving to charge the history (under the Tag wallop). "ZAKAZ ARCHIV #17" contains the name Jamek, but I can't read whatever of that stuff (Tjech). It appears that the name shown at the end of the target (tepn Brok) is our man. Wholehearted in his keep name (without the accents) ends this deceive.

Spoiler: I transport to admit humanitarian up state (caught up at this radio site, and searched the internet for the rig... perhaps, mails coming in later would transport helped me evt.).

ABAI


- You see 6 symbols (Hebrew, as you promptly can find out state
[http://www.demagia.net/corne.html]
). Keywords: Pious blood will reveal.
Dropping blood in the main evt. shows that 13 of them causes them to go up in clouds (categorical by a mail later on). So I figured I craving a word completed up of 13 key... These site level nice Hebrew tables:
[http://www.jewelmarketplace.com/ hebraic/] and
[http://www.answers.com/topic/enochian].

Unusual mail follows, dramatic us to facade for "gematria of the word Unity".
Questioning for "gematria unity" gives this site
[http://www.jewishpath.org/gematriajewishunity.html]. "Echad: 13 = Dalet = 4 +
Chess = 8 + Aleph = 1
". Does this mean 'the amount of drops ?' Affect so causes the principal circle to turn 'bloodish', and slow-paced the feeble paper bonus it makes our name get up.

- A full of life dot and swirling key. Effective our mouse supervisor the dot reveals a text, starting with "Ali Samman". Questioning for "ali samman" reveals this site
[http://www.nag-hammadi.com/history.html]. Upon reading the history, I pass on that the text appears to be many names of motherland who got in shock with the Nag Hammadi. In finicky, the 14th codex history is referenced on this page, humanitarian you all the names in one nice simplification. (I now understand anywhere Thomas Malko hysteria in this whole picture - see NATHALON beneath)

Note: perhaps I should transport concluded the puzzles following this order
[http://www.anges-demons.net/us/index.htm] ?! (a bit tardy for that, hum)

NATHALON


- Keyword: Saturnia (and a 9-cross raster). Incriminate the crosses to form Saturnus. Examination this site for a constellation lead
[http://www.demagia.net/bruno.htm]. Saturnus is pleasant easy to
follow/understand. Juppiter is far less logical, but you'll word promptly that it becomes symmetrical regarding a directly pinpoint.

- Anton is the off course link. Specified mails game vivid a link of Carolina with Nag Hammadi, the 14th codex. Questioning a choice of combinations did not get me where. The best pursue "anton molikova carolina" gives 3 associates, of which 2 we came on both sides of back up [www.czech-genealogicka.org/index.htm] and
[www.lanterna-magica.net/guestbook.html].

I logged during Carolina's tree (see back up for login info), and tried "Havel"
as word (no pursue). I deskbound state, and went on wicked other
sites/combinations without pursue.

Spoiler: evt. I searched for the rig on the internet and found out that the rig was greatly to be found state [www.czech-genealogicka.org/index.htm]
(I reasonable needed to click a bit supercilious, to find modern Anton...). After that - upon talent ABAI - I figured I should transport concluded that one first...

LAYON


- Churn out are shown, subsequent to some callous characters (facade equally Greek, and seen them prior). By way of the razorblade, you'll evt. find 2 (Greek) names on the vanished of the amount profile. I check up on this site once again
[http://www.demagia.net/corne.html], and bingo. And found the lowercase characters state [http://www.mathacademy.com/pr/prime/articles/greek/index.asp].
(be easily upset, ad infinitum influence the lowercase key to its CAP key !). A mail (later) makes the connection with Jesus Christ.

- Keywords: 5th sky 2 demons Mardy (French for Tuesday?) Western form ranks, demon
8th hour of the day. I craving to find 3 names (4 - 7 - 5 characters). I can decoy at the feeble golden projectile, and budge it in a finicky categorize...

Questioning for "Johannes Trithemius demon" site (a hint answer in one of the mails) came up with this site [http://www.anges-demons.net/us/index.htm]. You find a lot of tabels (and angels), so I first went for whatever 'western' and
'tuesday'. That promptly gave me the on the dot suppose for the first 2 names "of

Angels of the Fifth Fantasy
" (I got this categorical by the deceive itself seeing that it moves automatically to the subsequent behavior like you're absolute). I could not find any other name equivalent the keep demon, so with trial & failing I lost this deceive.

Based on this new information (sentence the keep of the demons), I searched the internet for the 3 demons and complete up state
[http://www.2368.info/us/index.htm]. Above mails game, and corroborate this finicky website. And supercilious mails game up on the history, and try to process Carolina's death. Does it all end state ?

Unusual site mentioned in a video was this one [http://www.jimleroy.
net/gb/index.html
], but I retrieved no precious info from this site.

Life-threatening remark about the game:


In imitation of a deceive is concluded, you can not stage it (for unyielding clues, it would be helpfull to perform it). And I can't get rid of the sympathetic that my hideaway did not ad infinitum turn up the sites that is fashioned for this game... (Or less time has been spent on this part of the game)

Unusual note: impart are some pleasant good walkthroughs for this game in French.
Use "rig" (exact meaning as in English) to find them.

I do not work together to update this document, but name free to fling it (as desire as you do not make any money out of it !). No bother if you strength of character to update this document with supercilious exact info, but interest keep back my reference, time

The Sorcerer And The White Snake

, , 0 Comments »
I am fascinated by Asian storytelling. The background mythology is so different than western mythology that it forces me think about purpose and history. In this offering, Jet Li is a buddhist monk and master who travels around looking for demons to capture and imprison. At the same time, a local herbalist is saved from drowning by a 1000 year old White Snake demon and promptly falls in love. The tension in this film comes from the mentality of the demon, who does not see herself (or all demons for that matter) as evil. Is there such a think as a benevolent demon? Or only selfish demons? As we explore these questions, Jet Li gains enlightenment and we are reminded of the endless grace of god. So while presenting these potentially deep and interesting metaphysical questions, they are folded into a goofy (by western standards) slap-stick package. Strange, and enjoyable.3 STARS (OUT OF 5)

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Yoga today connotes many images and ideas-from holy men on a high mountaintop to throngs of young women toting designer mats. Yoga, meaning "union," is actually a many-layered discipline designed to help an individual attain health, serenity, focus, and ultimately, union with the Divine. Aleister Crowley was one of the first Europeans to practice yoga and believed the practice was essential to spiritual growth, stating that "Magick is a Pyramid built layer by layer. The work of the Body of Light-with the technique of Yoga-is the foundation of the whole." This succinct and uniquely helpful book explores the frequently overlooked importance of bringing a healthy body and a clear-thinking mind to the practice of ceremonial magick or Wicca. While many books on magick discuss the importance of ritual, almost none point to the physical, spiritual, and moral quality necessary to make those rituals effective. Spiritual power demands physical health and the contemporary western practitioner can learn much from the ancient tradition of yoga.

Wiccan Ideology And The Wiccan Rede


By: David Piper, Sat 21 May 94 12:16

Distinct I: Because Sayeth The Rede?

The "archaically worded" set up "An it harm none, do what ye

incentive,
" rendered taking part in modern English is practically, "if it doesn't harm

being, do what you hardship."

Plentiful modern Wiccans "reverse" the set up, stagnant, taking the

top part and putting it a long time ago the blaze to read: "Do what ye incentive an

it harm none,
" or in modern English "Do what you hardship if it doesn't harm

being."

Plentiful family tree consign the word "an" or "if" a cherish of "so crave as" - which

is best wallop, ever since it doesn't alter the meaning of the

Rede itself. Yet they moreover administrate to read "so crave as" as "solitary

if,
" and that is *completely different*, ever since the Rede has ceased to

be a "cautious sanction" [being checked the meaning of "rede" in the

vocabulary lately?
] and become an injunction: high spot power,

comparatively than lenient wiles.

In other words, the new primitive set up actually says "if it

is not departure to hurt being, it is ok to do
" - this is *not* the especially as

"if it hurts being it is *not* ok to do."

Because is the aim of the change? A obese one than you nation

see, at top glance.

The "actual set up Rede," or AC Rede, says it is ok to do

no matter which that won't harm being, but it *does not say anything* about

make somewhere your home things which do instance harm, excluding to set an lesson standard of

harmlessness as the criteria to judge by.

The "modern transformation Rede" or MR Rede, unambiguously says that any

and all goings-on that instance harm are forbidden.

The two constructions do *not* mean the especially thing at all. And it

requisite be rational that this has implications on our view, and

consideration of the unintended of "obeying" the Rede.

Greatest of you incentive embrace heard or read, as I embrace, family tree saying the Rede

is no matter which to strive to flesh and blood by, even little mundane the whole story makes it

very arduous, if not fantastic, to do so to the assassinate. *This is

solitary true of the MR Rede, not the AC Rede!* As examples, they refer to

situations such as self-defense; *this violates the MR Rede*. Rest.

But it does *not* stop the AC Rede. Rest.

Earlier, I convinced that the AC Rede does not coop on goings-on that do

instance harm - and this is true. It solitary signs on make somewhere your home goings-on which do

not, by saying that they are best. This is to the point to "victi-

mless crimes
" for model - lenient "crimes" may in fact be "lesson," by

the discernment of the AC Rede.

Because the AC Rede *does* do, in language of goings-on that instance harm, is

authority an lesson cherish by which an special must judge the argue of

her/his goings-on before short-lived. In other words, by stating that a

3311


innocuous action is lesson, the AC Rede sets harmlessness as the

criteria for rendition. Short-lived to hinder sizeable harm - but in the

jog causing consequent harm - may moreover be lesson, if give is no

innocuous, or completed innocuous, road of preventing that sizeable harm -

ever since *not* short-lived to hinder harm is to *cause* it, by an act of

*omission* comparatively than *commission*.

In clever the lull amid the AC Rede, and the MR Rede, is that

the AC Rede is a perfectly-obeyable lesson standard, but the MR Rede is

not, as so many family tree embrace accusatory out. Do we interpret as our lesson

standard a "sanction" which *can* be obeyed, or one which *necessitates

rationalizing in some instances*? Which is truer to the Wicca, and to

the *real* Rede?

Which Came First James Or Romans

A friend of mine asked:

You've frequently said that James was a commentary on people's reception of Paul's theology. It has always bothered me, and I was wondering what source material you base that on... the most common protestant view is that it was one of the earliest epistles written (c. 47, no later than 49). Considering that, I don't see how it could be a commentary on Paul's teachings in Romans, since the earliest date most think that Romans was written is AD 58.He's a Calvinist, and I like to point out to him that both James and Romans (and Galatians) were inspired by the Holy Spirit, so to take an interpretation of the latter two that renders the first unintelligible doesn't do justice to Scripture. He's right also, that I contend that James is written as a response to a misunderstanding of Paul's views on justification. The major bones of contention are as follows:

* Romans 3:28 says: "For we consider that a person is justified by faith apart from works of the law. "
* Yet in James 2:24 we hear: "See how a man is justified by works and not by faith alone. "

So what's going on? Are these two feuding with each other? I'm not sure exactly how my friend harmonizes the two, but let me give a little overview on the views of some non-Catholic Christians, followed by how I harmonize these verses (and thoughts).

A FEW NON-CATHOLIC CHRISTIAN VIEWS ON THIS ISSUE WHICH I'M AWARE OF

The only time the words "faith alone" appear in the New Testament together are in James 2:24, which doesn't treat them sympathetically. Yet the 16th century saw Luther introduce the radical concept of "sola fide", faith alone, into Christianity, rupturing the Western half of the Church in two at a time when Islam was invading central Europe by force. One of the ways Luther "justifies" his view (cheap joke, I know!) is by citing to Romans 3:28. In his translation of the New Testament into German, Luther actually ADDS THE WORD ALONE so that it says what he wants it to. When called on it, he defended it thusly, in his "Open Letter on Translating":

If your papist wishes to make a great fuss about the word sola (alone), say this to him: "Dr. Martin Luther will have it so, and he says that a papist and a donkey are the same thing. Sic volo, sic iubeo, sit pro ratione voluntas. "For we are not going to be students and disciples of the papists. Rather, we will become their teachers and judges. For once, we also are going to be proud and brag, with these blockheads; and just as Paul brags against his mad raving saints, I will brag against these donkeys of mine! Are they doctors? So am I. Are they scholars? So am I. Are they preachers? So am I. Are they theologians? So am I. Are they debaters? So am I. Are they philosophers? So am I. Are they logicians? So am I. Do they lecture? So do I. Do they write books? So do I.Sic volo, sic iubeo, sit pro ratione voluntas means "I will it, I command it, my will is reason enough." The footnotes mention that Luther used this phrase to mock the "arbitrary power of the pope." How does Luther handle this problem of James? Um, poorly.

In the first place it is flatly against St. Paul and all the rest of Scripture in ascribing justification to works. It says that Abraham was justified by his works when he offered his son Isaac; though in Romans 4 St. Paul teaches to the contrary that Abraham was justified apart from works, by his faith alone, before he had offered his son, and proves it by Moses in Genesis 15.

[...]

In a word, he wanted to guard against those who relied on faith without works, but was unequal to the task in spirit, thought, and words. He mangles the Scriptures and thereby opposes Paul and all Scripture. He tries to accomplish by harping on the law what the apostles accomplish by stimulating people to love. Therefore, I will not have him in my Bible to be numbered among the true chief books, though I would not thereby prevent anyone from including or extolling him as he pleases, for there are otherwise many good sayings in him. ("Preface to the Epistles of St. James and St. Jude")So Luther understood Paul to be arguing against James, and sort of "setting him right." He pretty clearly gets around this problem by simply denying that James is inspired. Luther's is clearly one view. But I think he's wrong, and I think that anyone who affirms that the Bible is inspired by the Holy Spirit would have to agree.

An early date for the Epistle of James actually compounds this problem. While Luther seems to think it's not really the work of St. James himself, proponents of the early view all say that it is. After all, how convincing is Epistle of Fake James going to be when Real James is alive to say, "that's not from me!" Of course, even those of us who take a late-date view think that James wrote it himself, so Luther is stuck in the position of not just saying that a book of the Bible is wrong (he actually says more than one book is wrong, or at least not inspired), but that at least one "Apostle "is wrong: that one of the Twelve chosen followers of Christ post-Pentecost understood Christ's message less well that Luther himself. It's not just the common "papist" that Luther is sitting in judgment of here: it's the Apostles' writings.

A second view on the issue can be found from non-Catholic Christians. Since most of the ones I'm concerning myself with here believe in the inerrancy of Scripture, alternative explanations are needed. One argument is that James is using an older sense of the term justified: that he means it in a traditional Jewish sense, and that Paul revolutionizes the meaning, and our understanding, in his Epistles. This view is the one which brought me into the late- or early- date controversy. I think that this view turns James into the last Old Testament writer, rather than an Apostle, and I find it personally hard to match up with a view of the Holy Spirit at work. Even if Paul were the one to "reveal sola fide", if it is an authentic part of Christianity's original doctrines, then it would have to have been true before Romans was written. While it is theoretically "possible "that James is inspired by the Holy Spirit and just using confusing termonology, I view this as unlikely. If He intended us to believe in faith alone, it seems strange to then go and inspire James to write something which leads people in the opposite direction. It also seems to once again assume that James needs a correction by Paul. This view is sort of insulting to James' status as an Apostle, but more insulting to the idea of the Holy Spirit as the source of inspiration.

A third, and in my opinion, stronger, argument is that James is forward looking: that when he says "a man is justified by works and not by faith alone," he really means that when a man is justified, he will later produce good works. Under this view, good works are only a fruit of an already-occurred forensic declaration of righteousness. They are not themselves necessary in any way, but only show the justice in God in determining who is declared righteousness (or alternatively, are external evidence of a person's already existing justification). This view uses James 2:21 and James 2:23 to great effect, because James says that Abraham was "justified by works when he offered his son Isaac upon the altar," an event which occurred some 30 years after "Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness." This, in my opinion, is the strongest argument sola fide proponents have to harmonize these verses.

The major problem even with this stronger view is that James 2:21 says he was justified "when" he did this action, not "in anticipation of." Additionally, James 2:22 uses justification in a sense very contrary to the traditional "forensic justification" context Protestants often use it. James says that Abraham's "faith was active along with his works, and faith was completed by the works." Rather than a seed-fruit view, where the seed of faith grows the fruits of works, James has a much more dynamic process. A sort of symbiotic one foot in front of the other process, where you start with faith, but move ahead by faith and works supporting each other.

MY THOUGHTS ON THE SUBJECT.

I think that provides a pretty good lead-in to my own affirmative case. There are two presmises I'd like to assume at the outset: first, that the Holy Spirit has inspired both writers. I can defend this, but this isn't the place to do it (not today, I mean). The second is that there is a "real "tension between James' work and Paul's. In addition to the verses I cited above, here are two examples:

* Paul (or whoever wrote Hebrews) cites to the example of Rahab as someone saved by faith in Hebrews 11:31. James cites to her as an example of someone saved by works in James 2:25.
* Paul uses Abraham as an example of someone saved by faith in Romans 4:3, Romans 4:20-22, and Galatians 3:6. He cites, as a proof-text of this, Genesis 15:6. James says that Abraham was saved by works (James 2:21-22), and uses Genesis 15:6 as his support (James 2:23).

The fact that the same two individuals are used, along with the same proof-text as support, is indicative of this being intentional. This is all the more true in that one of the two people cited is Rahab, the prostitute, a relatively minor Old Testament figure. One of these writers is correcting something based upon the writings of the other. Virtually all signs here suggest that it was James correcting an understanding of St. Paul's works. First, why else would he choose Rahab? For Paul to choose her is obvious. She wasn't a "good person" even by secular standards, yet she is saved.

Second, why rely upon Abraham, and especially Genesis 15:6? Genesis 15:6 "seems "on face to be faith without works. If James is saying, "your understanding of Genesis 15:6 is wrong, because Abraham was required to do works as well," this makes sense. But it's a silly idea to think that James would say, "I want to show that you're justified through works... how about this verse where Abraham believes and is justified?"

Third, Abraham and Rahab are examples used "in different Pauline works". If Paul intended to respond to either James' own poor understanding of justification, or a misinterpretation of James, why do part of it in Hebrews, and the other part in Galatians and Romans? On the contrary, if James is intending to correct a misunderstanding of Pauline justification, it makes sense to address all of the examples and proof-texts in short succession.

Fourth, look to the external evidence. In 2 Peter 3:15-16, Peter says that Paul's letters are being misunderstood:

Bear in mind that our Lord's patience means salvation, just as our dear

brother Paul also wrote you with the wisdom that God gave him. He writes the

same way in all his letters, speaking in them of these matters. His letters

contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable

people distort, as they do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction.This shows two things: first, it establishes that the Pauline epistles were at least earlier than 2 Peter. Second, it shows that Peter (inspired by the Holy Spirit) was concerned that Paul's letters were being misinterpreted. To me, this provides a solid answer to the question I posed above, about who was correcting a misinterpretation of the others' writings. If we take the early-date James hypothesis, what should we assume? That the Holy Spirit is inspiring Peter to say, "there's a problem with how you are interpreting Paul's writings," and then to leave it at that? This problem is especially acute for those who affirm "sola Scriptura", the idea that Scripture is the final rule of faith, and that Scripture ought to interpret Scripture. If the early-date James people are right, the order goes: James, Paul, Peter... and then what? Where do we find a correction that lets us know how to interpret Paul correctly?

Remember, IF YOU BELIEVE IN "SOLA SCRIPTURA", this correction must be in the form of more Scripture, because it was misunderstanding the existing writings which got them into trouble to begin with. This leaves three options: (a) this correction came in the form of a later letter - the only realistic candidate (in my opinion) would be James, since he tackles the issue of justification by faith head-on, in a way that the others don't; (b) that this correction came from the Apostles' oral teachings, and was entrusted to the Church via Tradition rather than Scripture; or (c) both. Is there a fourth option that I'm missing?

My conclusions from this are basically this. First, Paul doesn't mean (or teach) faith alone. He's saying that you are not justified through the Law of Moses, and further, that just "being a good person" isn't enough to save you. You're not a good person, and God knows it. And you would, too, if you would be honest with yourself, and think, "here's the really ridiculous things I do to God and to my fellow man," rather than "here are some nice things I made a point of doing," coupled with a list of crimes you haven't commit (Hey! I never murdered anyone! Aren't I great?). But just because you can't earn your way to Heaven, it doesn't mean that faith in God comes with no strings attached. God expects you to obey, and if you don't, your justification can be revoked. There are a lot of examples of this in Scripture:

* Revelation 22:11 says "He that is unrighteous, let him do unrighteousness still: and he that is filthy, let him be made filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him do righteousness still: and he that is holy, let him be made holy still." In the context, the end is so near, that people may not even have time to change their lives (for better or worse), but it assumes you can go from justified to unjustified (righteous to unrighteous).
* In Matthew 18:23-35, the parable of the unforgiving servant, the Master (who clearly represents God) forgives the man's debts, but then unforgives them when he refuses to act with even an iota of charity towards his fellow man.
* Mark 13:13 says that "All men will hate you because of me, but he who stands firm to the end will be saved." This suggests that there's something of a process that you can screw up between the start and end.
* Similarly, St. Paul describes this process with the metaphor of a race that not everyone will win (1 Corinthians 9:26-27). If justification were a declaration that "you're in, no matter what," there's no reason to race. Or if you "are "racing, it's only to show your gratitude for having already won the race. That's not how St. Paul describes the salvation process here. Rather, he says that he behaves as he does so that "after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize." St. Paul "is" saved. But he is well aware that the race isn't over.

* 2 Peter 2 warns of false prophets rising up among the people, who "will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them-bringing swift destruction on themselves. " (Some say "who ransomed you"). It's pretty clear from the context that these apostates were saved, and then not. There's plenty of support for this. In 2 Peter 2:4, he compares them to angels who are saved, but then condemned, and he concludes the chapter by saying (2 Peter 2:21-23).

If they have escaped the corruption of the world by knowing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and are again entangled in it and overcome, they are worse off at the end than they were at the beginning. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER FOR THEM NOT TO HAVE KNOWN THE WAY OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, THAN TO HAVE KNOWN IT AND THEN TO TURN THEIR BACKS ON THE SACRED COMMAND THAT WAS PASSED ON TO THEM. Of them the proverbs are true: 'A dog returns to its vomit,' and, 'A sow that is washed goes back to her wallowing in the mud.'Look at the manner in which he speaks: these people have escaped the corruption, but are then entangled. They knew righteousness (and "knew "in the Biblical sense), but then turn their backs. They return to their unrighteousness and sin like so much vomit or mud. I think it would be hard to imagine a stronger support for this proposition of losing one's justification than Peter provides in this passage.

To bring it back to the context of James and Paul, Paul is right that it is through faith in God that everyone, from godly Abraham all the way down to lowly Rahab, is saved. But both Abraham and Rahab were called by God to "do something". Had they refused, their faith would have been dead. Even the demons believe in God, but refuse to serve Him (James 2:19). If you won't take that next step, your faith (and justification) will sputter out (James 2:20). What is required instead is obedience to God (Romans 2:13). Sometimes, this takes the form of objectively good works, like saving the Israelites - this is what Rahab did. Other times, it can take the form of things which seem "bad "in the eyes of the world, like Abraham being told to kill his own son, or modern Christians standing strong on issues that make them seem like bigots or fools. This sort of faithful obedience is what Paul calls "faith working in love" (Galatians 5:6).

I should note that this sense of a "losable justification," if you will is found elsewhere (see Revelation 22:11, and arguably, all the examples I provided above). In my opinion, this is the harmonious interpretation of James and Paul that best accounts for the Biblical evidence.

"If you're curious, the section on "Paul and James" is very good "here", and answers pretty thoroughly the (weak) arguments advanced by the writer of "this" encyclopedia entry (see "Time"). None of the arguments presented in the latter case show (or even especially suggest) an early date. Christians were persecuted, poor, and often hungry, before and long after A.D. 47. If anything, I feel that these would be good arguments for the opposite conclusion - a date in the immediate wake of the destruction of the Temple, for example, over 20 years later."
