What is the hearing and doing of James 1?

 Some people teach that Christians are to not just hear the word, but they are also to believe and do the word.

But the question is what does it mean to do the word if not to believe? How does one do a proposition? if the Bible is a propositional book revealed by God alone then how does one do it other than believe it? I mean no one can do the Gospel. And no one can do the Law.

James talks about hearing and doing of the word. James 1:19-24. But elsewhere it talks about hearing and receiving the word, Ezekiel 33:31. Elsewhere, Deuteronomy 4:6 it says hear and keep. And even still elsewhere in Revelations 2 or 3 it talks about hearing and receiving.

How do we receiving and keep God's word but by believing it.

We believe what the Bible alone tells us because it is God's word. The Bible tells us who God is and what He has revealed for the Salvation of the elect alone. Tell us who we are outside of Christ and how Christ alone saves us from sin.

No doubt the result of believing the word results in doing good works. Good works follow from faith. Good works are not the belief but the results of belief, of trust, of assent, of assurance.
