When reading James please clarify these points...
1) when does justification take place.
2) Is the word "believed" in Gen 15:6 judged/considered as limited to that scripture or with all in view completed in Gen 22 at the offering of Isaac?
3) "Scritpure was fulfilled" please show how it relates to the whole of the text in James 2
4) What is teh clear statement of James about faith in James 2? |
First of all, I'm sure that everything in this thread has been covered by plenty of people for a few years now, that doesn't mean, however, that I'm going to read EVERYTHING that has been posted here...I don't have the time nor the inclination to do so. I'll interlope where I can.
Second,
1. Justification takes place at the moment of faith
2. I think Paul establishes that Abraham's justification in
Genesis 15 was a declaration by God that lasted Abraham's lifetime including before/after
Genesis 22.
3. What are you talking about?
4. Dead faith cannot save. But since God gives faith, then the faith that God gives is NOT dead.
