Faith Without Works

I notice that in the Bible, the New Testament, as Christians call it, Paul's letters seem to emphasize belief in who Jesus is.  He is appealing to the mind to convince us of Jesus' identity.  Paul assumes that Jews already know how to act, so he does not talk much about conduct.  With Gentiles, he does much the same with a bit more emphasis on action.  In the very end of Mark's Gospel, which many say was not even written by Mark, but by a later person as an addition, it simply says to believe and be saved. No action required.  The signs that accompany the new community of believers have nothing to do with everyday relationships. It speaks of driving out demons, speaking new languages, handling serpents, drinking deadly poison.  This is not much to do with anyone's everyday conduct with one another.  Institutional religion focused on the belief, an appeal to the mind, and not so much on right action, so that people could have right belief yet treat one another in a rather prejudicial, judgmental and uncaring way.  Belief separates.  Love unites.  I have found it so.
