James 2:20

"But are you willing to recognize, you foolish fellow, that faith without works is useless?" "But are you willing to recognize" -Inferring the previous truths had been clear, plain and simple to understand. James conclusion is so clear that he calls upon all who disagree with him to abandon their foolishness and admit the obvious."you foolish fellow" -literally an empty-headed fellow. The person who would even attempt to argue that mere belief can save. person is lacking reason and the truth. Notice that James doesn't say, "Let's agree to disagree" or "your point is just as valid as mine". "that faith without works is useless?" -Draper gives. good illustration when he says, "If. tell my wife. love her and never go home or provide her with any of the necessities, do you think she would believe me?…..We have created. entire culture of Christianity in America where we say we believe things that we are not practicing" (p. 90). But the real tragic thing is that there are people in this country who would argue that they love their mate or their mate loves them, even when they are treating each other in. horrible manner. There are. good number of people who would disagree with Draper's above point. James calls such people "foolish" and "empty-headed".
