Look at the p***age again where it says that God saw Abram's faith as righteousness and see that it was done LONG before he was ever commanded to take Issac to the mountain for sacrifice. When Abram was made righteous in God's eyes did that not include the fact that he was made obedient in God's eyes at the same time? How could a man be made righteous and be considered disobedient at the same time? Therefore Abram was made righteous (obedience) by God's grace through faith the same way that all the people of God through the ages have been made perfect before Him. I agree with Billy that Jesus is the only Way to salvation. That good works are NOT the WAY. We receive the Way to God, the Truth of God. and the Life of God as a free gift by God's grace through faith in Jesus.. That is unlike the LDS that have been teaching here that obedience and personal righteousness (self righteousness) is the way to God and Jesus is only there only to aid them in that pursuit. IHS jim
