The book of James and the LRC

True, the passage in Galatians does state clearly that James is off, but this error could be the basis for a repentance and a vision expressed in the book of not having the faith of our Lord Jesus with respect of persons.

WL loved to point out the various failures of the men of God in the Bible -- from James to Barnabas to Apollos to Noah to Peter etc. -- yet never once did he ever own up to his own failures which have robbed and stumbled the saints and slandered the prophets whom God raised up to rebuke him. WL loved to keep the saints wondering which Psalm was the word of God, while no one spent the time to examine Lee's books to determine which was merely human sentiment. Most people call this hypocrisy. Some call it criminal.

Cassidy balked when I mentioned the red-letter words of Jesus being the only words of God, but where does his "inquiry" end? Is Biblical history, e.g. Kings and Chronicles, the word of God? Cassidy says all scripture is inspired by God, but all scripture is not God's word. Then can God only speak to us thru His own words in the Bible? How many times in history has the Spirit of God convicted His children using James' word, "faith without works is dead?"
