How does that relate to what Nick and I said? Please explain?
Jesus came to offer salvation to everyone. He didn't reserve some aspects of it for special people, it's all available to everyone in the law of Christ.

It's strange to you because, you don't understand that, we're
living in the dispensation of Grace! Some of the New Testament
relates only to the Jews! Other writings are for the Gentiles! Paul
was sent to the gentiles! Check and see who was being written to
in the book of James! I'll give you a hint, it wasn't to the gentile
nations!
James 1
1 James, a bondservant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ,
To the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad:
Greetings.
According to James, to whom was he writing?
James 2
21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar? 22 Do you see that faith was working together with his works, and by works faith was made perfect?
According to James, was Abraham justified by works? According to James, was his faith made perfect by works? These are yes/no questions. No soap box. Your life depends on it.
How can you say it relates only to Jews or Gentiles individually?
What?

Who said salvation is different for the Jews and Gentiles?
Paul MUST be listened to! It's extremely important to read and study
what this Apostle has/had to say! It's a matter of spending eternity
with God or eternal damnation!
Paul's words and James' words and indeed every writers words are God's words and they no where contradict Him.
Both Jew and gentile can place their faith in Christ today! I believe the
"Body of Christ" made up of Jew and Gentile alike is the way God is
working in this dispensation!
I don't think you're hearing him.
As Nick stated, James was writing to the scattered twelve tribes!
OK, so you were the one who was incorrect. Cool.No. That's what I said!
So why does it matter who the books were addressed to?
