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)
What about it?
Only one time Righteousness being imputated to Abraham, Gen.15?
You forgot Genesis 12 and Genesis 22. Hebrews 11 says that Abram, by faith, WENT to the Promised Land - thus, being justified. James 2 says that Abraham was justified during the sacrifice of Isaac.
I am not impressed with Scofield notes, thanks. The Angel at Abraham said "NOW I SEE..." Faith without works is dead. What more can I say? You continue to ignore the fact that the Bible doesn't reward people for being justified in the eyes of man. Scofield and the rest of Protestant eigesis is flat-out wrong. We are justified in God's eyes. HE is the one who saw Abraham's sacrifice and considered Abraham righteous during that ACT of FAITH. Man didn't see Abraham's sacrifice! Just as God desires to SEE Abraham's faith, God desires to see our faith by works of love. Loveless faith cannot save.
