Now lets try to teach you something:

Abraham was instructed by God to go and sacrifice on that mountain.. There was no animal provided in that little gaggle of sacrificers. Abraham could surmise he was to sacrifice Isaac yet he told the men to wait at the foot of the mountain and he and HIS SON would return to them. Dude! THAT IS FAITH BEFORE WORKS>

Faith and works;

The epistle to the Hebrews states he offered up Isaac and reasoned that God was able to raise him up from the dead. The letter of James indicates Abraham was justified by works when he offered up Isaac upon the altar and that hid faith was cooperating with his works. Abraham's men were not there, remaining with the donkey. It was God, the Angel, Abraham, and Isaac at the altar.
