Well, that's a new one. Did Paul and James mean "saved" in two different terms?
And by the way, Paul (if you think he wrote Hebrews) also comments on Abraham being saved - at a DIFFERENT point that you list above...
Hebrews only talks about Abraham's faith and it was at the time when Paul mentions it in Romans.
For me to agree or disagree with you, I must know YOUR definition of "being saved", since it is within that context that Paul and James speak. I never said the two writers meant something different.
Hebrews only talks about Abraham's faith and it was at the time when Paul mentions it in Romans.
Perhaps you need a refresher...
By faith he that is called Abraham, obeyed to go out into a place which he was to receive for an inheritance; and he went out, not knowing whither he went. By faith he abode in the land, dwelling in cottages, with Isaac and Jacob, the co-heirs of the same promise. Heb 11:8-9
Looks like Abraham was doing something to me - it is not just about his faith but about his faith in action. Sounds amazingly similar to what James wrote in James 2... Also, I would like to point out that this is a different point in Abraham's life then Romans!
