SERMONS & VIDEOS BY DAVID WILBER
James Understood the Gospel. Matt McMillen Does Not.
A Christian TikTok/Instagram influencer named Matt McMillen claims that James did not fully appreciate the Messiah’s work on the cross and did not understand the gospel. He bases this claim on James’s affirmation of the ongoing validity of the Law of Moses, which McMillen views as conflicting with the Gospel. In this video, I interact with McMillen's objections.
The Law of Moses: All or Nothing? (James 2:10)
Some modern interpreters have insisted that James 2:10 implies that since nobody is perfect, trying to obey the Law today is pointless. But is that really what this verse says?
James was not wrong. Matt McMillen is.
I response to Matt McMillen’s claims that the apostle James didn’t understand grace when he wrote his epistle.
