I don't have my Bible program on this computer but I am thinking of that setting of scripture that talks about Abraham obeying by faith, which means his faith produced the obedience.

I hear ya and agree, for the most part.
I've come to view faith as not something
I decide is or is not, but something that
God decides is or is not. Make any sense?
If that doesn't make sense, let me ask it this way:
Abraham was counted righteous
why? Because he had faith or because he obeyed?
