13. Though It Is Not Much My Habit To Quote Scripture, Mr. Zulu
The Epistle of James is my favorite among the New Testament works, and Sen. Kerry has used it properly in this instance. It engages the contradictions of spiritual claims to salvation most effectively, and leaves in tatters the idea that salvation by grace can exist without works of charity and fellowship giving evidence of its reality. Further, it makes quite clear that these must be material: simply praying for others' salvation does not suffice. It is not a text much preached on nowadays, for it is most discomfitting to the apostles of easy grace who pass themselves off as divines among the evangelicals nowadays.

"Behold, the hire of the laborers who have reaped down your fields, which by you is kept back in fraud from them, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth."

"LET'S GO GET THOSE BUSH BASTARDS!"
