Literally every Christian translation of the bible has similar interpretation of the principle in James 2:17. Just look at all the different translations of this passage.

Actually some Christians ignore this passage and believe that it's "by grace alone" that they're saved.

I actually am a Mormon and met this guy (Marshall Almarode, look him up if you want to see crazy) who has literally devoted his life to saving Mormons from Mormonism. It's fascinating. I once argued with him for 2 hrs over James 2:17. Those are 2 hours of my life I'll never get back.

Ding ding ding!!! I respect the toughness, but she should have been pulled. It is a very deep cut, and I would have worried about an artery laceration. At what point in the race did this occur.

How do you pull an athlete from a race that isn't multiple laps?

How much will this cost her in doctor fees to get stitched up along with anti-biotics? $50,000?
She will want a cosmetic surgeon to do the stitches in order to have a much smaller and less visible scar so it won't impact future flexibility of the area. Regular doctors stitch like a grandma quilting a blanket and leave big scars.
wont cost her anything, Athletes are insured by the universities they play for

In college, I tripped on a sidewalk on campus while running and my face landed on a wood contractor stake that was sticking out of the ground. I'm very thankful they had a plastic surgeon do the stitches.

OK, I didn't really get the severity until seeing the image a 1:44 of the video. Jay-zus Christo!

re: Lazlo Simmons

Brenna was interviewed on a BYU sports show this morning. She earned 13 stitches, of which 6 were taken out on Wednesday.The last stitches are being removed today by her dad, who is an E.R. doctor. She is looking forward to coming back and qualifying for Nats next year. She was only a soph this year.
