Submitted by: mvgreco, January 11th, 2009 Topic: Community Forums - What did the Apostle Paul mean when he stated in Romans chapter 3 believers are not justified by "works of law" or "law of works"? First it must be said that Paul taught the same doctrine as Yeshua (Jesus) did. Matthew 5:17 says; "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish, but to fulfill." Greek pieroo fulfill means "to fill up" or "complete" in meaning.

So why does there appear to be a contradiction when Paul says we are justified by faith apart from works and James tells us that faith without works is dead. 1 comment(s)
