Not a Weapon

James approaches the church path as another possible defense, but he is corrected away from using Christian confession as a weapon against the shaytan.

_Status: planned branch chapter. _

## Planned Function

- Mirror the "wrong reasons" pressure without duplicating the Islamic-route scene. - Establish that this path cannot be used as a charm or legal formula. - Keep the happy ending dependent on sincere belief and worship of the One God.

## Continuity Locks

- James has already been punished by treating sacred practice as method. - The branch should not frame Jesus as God if this route's tradition rejects that. - The shaytan's reaction is evidence of pressure, not proof by itself.
