The fallacy points to not having a structure that defines a Scotsman.No, the fallacy reflects those that exclude someone from a group because they have done something that the group doesn't approve of. In this case, I have stopped believing in Christ therefore you guys don't want to accept I was ever a 'true Christian' because no 'true Christian' would ever do that.
Quote:Christ Himself points out that just because you label yourself a christian or follower, does not make you one.Are you a Christian?
Quote:Indeed but what Christ and James are saying is; it is not works in of themselves. It is the Faith that manifests through works. When you have the faith required then you can not help yourself from doing these works. Not the other way around.Good explanation. I agree, because this is what I saw happening in my life.
