And your mirror says you're IN the bathroom - but it didn't put you there! James is talking about how faith gets SHOWN to be genuine, not how sinners get SAVED from judgment. Different context, different conversation!
Want proof? The same James who supposedly preaches an 'anti-gospel' calls faith a 'gift from above' (James 1:17) and speaks of the 'word of truth' that brings us forth (1:18). Some anti-gospel! That's like calling your GPS 'anti-travel' because it tells you when you're off course!
Here's the million-dollar question: If someone says 'I've got saving faith' but their life screams 'I couldn't care less about what God wants,' who you gonna believe - their lips or their life? James isn't adding works to salvation; he's adding a spotlight to profession!

Technology stocks were hit particularly hard by higher bond yields. The SC urges the public to refer to the SC’s I nvestor Alert List before investing. The list contains details of unauthorised websites, investment products, companies and individuals. Members of the public who suspect that they have been approached by unauthorised firms or individuals offering schemes that promise unrealistic returns The regulator said it had received information that messages containing stock tips and other investment advice with respect to selected listed companies are being widely circulated through websites and social media platforms such as Telegram, Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram. "For Telegram, accountability has always been a problem, which is why it was so popular even before the full-scale war with far-right extremists and terrorists from all over the world," she told AFP from her safe house outside the Ukrainian capital. The company maintains that it cannot act against individual or group chats, which are “private amongst their participants,” but it will respond to requests in relation to sticker sets, channels and bots which are publicly available. During the invasion of Ukraine, Pavel Durov has wrestled with this issue a lot more prominently than he has before. Channels like Donbass Insider and Bellum Acta, as reported by Foreign Policy, started pumping out pro-Russian propaganda as the invasion began. So much so that the Ukrainian National Security and Defense Council issued a statement labeling which accounts are Russian-backed. Ukrainian officials, in potential violation of the Geneva Convention, have shared imagery of dead and captured Russian soldiers on the platform.
