Paul says Abraham was saved by faith when he believed God. James says Abraham was saved by works 17 years later when he offered up Isaac. When was Abraham actually saved? Depends on what you mean by saved...
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...

Depends on what you mean by saved... Well, that's a new one. Did Paul and James mean "saved" in two different terms?

Hebrews only talks about Abraham's faith and it was at the time when Paul mentions it in Romans.

Heb 11 lists Abraham's faith from Gen.12 thru Gen.22.
