#BibleStudy Study Questions from James Ch 2 on 06/21/2020

For as many Sundays as needed, my Sunday school class will explore the context and content of the practical content of the Letter from James. 

Questions discussed are posted on Monday and a sampling of the discussion of each question is posted the Wednesday of that week. That will continue with minor cosmetic adjustments.

If this is your first experience with my blogs, I invite you to copy and paste the questions into a word.docx and fill in blanks or answer questions before next week. We rarely do more than 6 or 8 questions in a given week. 

I hope you'll explore this practical book along with us.

I'll post our answers on Wednesday. 

Chapter 2

V14-26 

Compare James, John, Paul, and Jesus sayings about faith. 

James

Paul

John

Jesus

Does Paul disagree with James in Romans 13:8-10, Gal 5:22-25, and Phil 2:12-13? 

What two examples of “worthless faith” does James give in this passage? 

 How does the story of Abraham support James’ position—how were his faith and actions working together? 

 Where else is Abraham used as an example of faith? What can we learn about his faith from these passages? 

 WE GOT THIS FAR THIS WEEK.

Why is Rahab included here? How did her actions support James’ position? 

 Are all good deeds motivated by faith in Jesus? 

 Do good deeds not motivated by faith in Jesus have any merit in God’s eyes? 

 Is it possible to show true faith in Jesus without deeds of obedience to God? 

 Is it reasonable to judge people’s salvation by their works?
