I think we have reached the end of this discussion.

Since you repeat the same things over and over, things I have already refuted which you don't address, I think I will agree with your closing...

Regards

Really?

Like the salvation of Lot?

Only one time Righteousness being imputated to Abraham, Gen.15?

Gen.22 being a test for Abraham, having nothing to do with his salvation (Heb.11:17)?

For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory, but not before God (Rom.4:2)

Scofield Note: Cf. Jas ii.24. These are two aspects of one truth. Paul speaks of that which justifies man beforeGod, viz faith alone, wholly apart from works; James before the proof before men, that he who professes to have justifying faith really has it. Paul speaks of what God sees-faith; James of what men see-works as a visible evidence of faith. Paul draws his illustration from Gen.xv.6; James from Gen.xxii 1-19. James' key phrase-is 'ye see' (Jas.ii.24), for men cannot see faith except as manifested through works. (Scofield Bible, 1196)
