From what I understand, early on there was a disagreement between James (who is said to be the brother of Jesus and the leader of the early Christian movement) and Paul, the latter saying that the law was cursed and it is not about works/actions but about faith and redemption.
In a story recounted in Acts 21:17-26 , James and the Christian elders in Jerusalem wanted to show other Christians who were converted Jews, and who still observed the Jewish Law, that Paul still believed in observing the Law. They therefore told Paul to go and perform a ritual of purification and sacrifice in the Jewish temple, which he then proceeded to do.
According to James's words or any other scripture, did James eventually change his view of the Law and follow Paul?
Update
In James 2:10 he says:
> For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is
> guilty of breaking all of it.
