Bible Note: Hi Doc: Again, I appreciate to qutoes (non-biblical) but I do not think I can rely on them to justify your position on faith, grace and justification. Heb. 11:8 - says by faith Abraham obeyed Heb. 22:18 - Abraham obeyed Heb. 11:17 - by faith Abraham offered up his only son James 2:21-22 - Abraham justifies by works, "seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect" Doc, you are correct that Rom.4:2 clearly teaches that justification is not by works or the law BUT as James 2:22 says "by works was faith made perfect". See these things are clearly taught in the NT to show that it is the heart that God sees not the outwardly acts or "works or law". But we cannot use this as an basis to teach that "works and law" are not expected by God. God clealy expects our loyal obedience which is "obedience of faith" (see Rom. 16:26, Rom. 21-22, Acts 6:7, and 1 Samuel 15:22. We must see consistency throughout the Bible. Even Christ was sinless which revealed His obedience to God and His commandments. (Phil. 2:8) Lastly - see what Jesus said at Mark 7:9. I respect our discussion and look forward to more !!
