It is not my works I am doing, it is God's.
That's not the question I was asking. I was asking, "who was James talking to in his letter?"
So is breathing, but breathing is not a work.

James was talking to those who were blood related to Abraham.
However, his words are for us too because he spoke by the Holy Spirit.
Yes it is your works you are doing.
And your works are imperfect, which is why your works cannot be relied upon.

You don't command your heart to beat and your lungs to breath.
You do however have a choice to believe or not.

Judgerightly,
Do you really think that the words from James can be discarded by us, now that it has been made available to us?
Do you really think that James taught differently than Paul?
Tell me the differences between James and Paul.

Nope.
Abe had several children that were not included in the 12 tribes of Israel.
James wrote to the 12 tribes.
Here it is again, for you to deny and twist again.
James 1:1 KJV
(1) James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.
Christ said to tell no one He was the Christ by the Holy Spirit too.
But it's not for everyone at all times, now is it?
Not by works.

I want to take this time to say that I really do thank you for trying to help me with what you believe is truth.
If I were still a Catholic, I would not be so kind about it.
As for what you said about it is my works and it is imperfect, and cannot be relied upon...
It is not my works, it is the words of God. God says this is right and to do this and do that.
I trust Him and do what He says. I trust Him and His words that if I do what He says, I will have life.
So James wasn't talking to the proselyte Jews as well?
Same old GT, never learning.

Matthew 16:20 KJV
(20) Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ.
You should think before you post.

Please stay with me on this...you had to do something, you had to believe. So something was dependent upon what you do.
GT, your works are faulty and can never save.
You still mess up.
Christ never does.
Only the works of Christ save.

What? The twelve tribes of Israel are Jacobs twelve sons.
When Jesus said that, it was not to all as a rule and guideline for the new covenant.
It's not a work, GT.
Belief is not a thing you can force yourself to do, as you can force yourself to do works.
You can force yourself to rake the yard whether you want to or not.
You cannot force yourself to believe something you don't believe.
You either believe or you don't.
It's not a work.

Jesus' words are of the Creator of everything. His words are life and trust worthy. His words will not come back void.

It is something that Jesus tells us to do, and we must do it.
I can choose to believe or not.
Try to focus, GT.
Which would go against what you said here:
Unless you think Jesus was speaking against the Holy Spirit when He said that.
Your're a mess.
You could eliminate a lot of that mess if you would stop relying on any of your works to save.
