Read the passage again and open your heart to the truth therein. When Abraham was on the way to the mount, he told those with him to wait at the foot of the mount and THEY, him and Isaac, would return tot hem after the sacrifice! THAT IS FAITH and THAT IS WHAT THE SCRPITURES teach Abraham had that was counted for him righteousness. It was not the actual placing of his son on the altar ready for throat slitting that God Honored, for we see that God told Abraham t0o hold back the knife, that GOD provides the sacrifice. Abraham displayed his faith in God's Promise BEFORE he went up the mountain! So, when God provided the sacrifice for Abraham to use, was it Jesus that Abraham was to slaughter and let the blood flow out upon the ground, or was it the animal entangled nearby? But that can't be if the Bible is not using metaphor!

A catholic has not a clue what is faith and what are works nor their purposes. Commit the sacrileges, accept the judgment. Abide by the sacred and be Graced with the Gift of God's LIFE. The Jews at Pentecost believed, and God showed His acceptance of that by placing His LIFE in them, not by drinking blood in contradiction to what His commandment had always been, but by their faithing in the words spoken by Peter. Did the words of Peter place God's life in them? Or did God honor their BELIEF in Christ as Savior and Lord thus resulting in God to putting HIS LIFE in them? And once God puts HIS LIFE in you, no man, including ADSUM, can take that LIFE out of you.

Your personal protest opinion.

I didn’t say it wasn’t faith. I said he did God’s will.

Do you not agree that faith is a positive action (work, effort) that one has to do in order to accept God’s teaching, love and will?

Are you so tied to the protest doctrine that you do not understand the meaning of words (especially God’s words)?

Why so much animosity towards the Catholic faith and teaching in God? Are you so indoctrinated by the protest doctrine?

God’s peace be with you.
