Two Types of Justification: Paul and James DO NOT Contradict Each Other

Another frequently misquoted book in the Scripture is the book of James in which any opponent of salvation by faith alone in Jesus Christ would say, "Hey read James 2 and see how it's being required to do good works to be saved."  However let's try to check out the following and honestly, this blog ministry will always be at the works as long as God permits it.  Where do the words salvation and justification differ?

Note: The author has underlined the specific meanings for theology, he's included the words saved and justified as well.  Definitions are from www.thefreedictionary.com.

 Looking at the definitions above, one can now see that justification is MORE than being saved Looking at the meanings of the word "justify" fro meaning 1-3 is where the Bible really fits in. Now to really see where Paul and James actually do not contradict each other.  Paul taught justification by faith (i.e. to declare or show to be free from blame or guilt, a result of salvation) while James taught justification by faith and works (i.e. to prove to be just or valid, to show to be reasonable) in which these are two different cases.

So now to settle the misuse of James 2- James was talking about the fruit of faith and not the root.  Also he could not be teaching works salvation for the reason that he showed in James 2:10-11 that NOBODY can keep the whole Law and the Bible has God requiring sinless perfection and not more good works over bad works type of salvation, that's why He sent His Son Jesus who had no sin to be sin (2 Corinthians 5:21) and that James 2:21 talks about Abraham was imputed righteousness by faith which goes together with Romans 4:5. 

On the other hand, James 2:18 says, "Show me your faith without your works and I will show you my faith by my works." in which James is justified in the sense that he showed his salvation valid and genuine by his good works which again, will come out naturally because of salvation.  James is in short saying that salvation is by faith alone but not a salvation that is alone.  True works results to works, dead faith is no faith and that faith is a sham.  Again it's 100% impossible for a Christian not to do good works.  Again let's be careful with words with more than one meaning because they're often a source of confusion and are being used by works salvationist word games.
