[Cronos]

James also says...James 2:23 and the Scripture was fulfilled that says, “Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness”—and he was called a friend of God.

So it was counted as a righteous piece of work done by Abraham you say?

I say works can't save without Christ -- you say the work of just saying "lord, Lord, I have faith" is enough

That is false and against what Jesus Himself said: "He who believes and is baptized will be saved. (Mk 16:16)", "> [U]nless you repent you will all likewise perish. (Lk 13:3)", "[H]e who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. (Jn 6:54)", "he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved (Matt.24:13)"

Why will you not listen to Christ Himself?

It says *Abraham believed God and that was counted to him as righteousness. It doesn’t say it was counted to him when he worked.
