You then quote James 5:20 as saying: \u00a0\u201cLet him know, that he who converts the sinner from the error of his way shall save a Soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

First<\/strong>ly, Jesus is the one who lets us know how<\/em><\/strong> we are to \u201cconvert a sinner from the error of his ways\u201d \u2013 namely, with open acts<\/strong> of unconditional forgiveness &\/or radical, non-judgmental<\/em><\/strong> acts<\/strong> of unconditional Kindness; primarily accomplished while keeping our mouths shut<\/strong> from start to finish \u2026<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Second<\/strong>ly, if we are truly to \u201cbelieve the whole Bible\u201d (as you & yours claim to do) then we must assume that James does not contradict himself \u2026 And if James does not contradict himself, then we must also posit that he \u2013 like Jesus \u2013 also wants us to \u201cconvert sinners\u201d with silent<\/em><\/strong> acts<\/strong> of humble, non-judgmental Love \u2026 Please consider the words of James:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cGod opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble \u2026 Do not speak evil against one another, brothers & sisters. Whoever speak evil against another or judges another, speaks evil against the law and judges the law \u2026 There is one lawgiver and one judge who is able to save and destroy. As such, who are you to judge your neighbor<\/em><\/strong>?\u201d ~ James 4:6-12<\/p>\n
