The above shows a complete lack of contextual honesty..............a particular type of faith is being address.....the same mere believe demons have....and the word THAT is implied by the text and even translated that way in numerous translations...yeah I know you worship the KING JIMMY as an IDOL...MAN....you have really sunken to new lows and have really proven that you are not contextually honest....
What use is it, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but he has no works? Can that faith save him?

That right there is WHY you are MISSING the mark......PAUL used ABRAHAM and DAVID to SHOW it was faith alone that JUSTIFIED ABRAHAM before GOD....and you are still rejecting the truth and the phrase SHOW ME YOUR FAITH..........
Abraham was JUSTIFIED long before he offered Isaac....
He was around 75 when he left UR and around 115 when he offered Isaac.......get your facts straight....Offering ISAAC did NOT justify him before GOD

Do you know why James uses Job as an example? Job has long time been an example of the tribulation Jew. The 42 chapters of Job is likened to the 42 months of the great tribulation.
James 5:11 Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy.
Because Job endured to the end, he was blessed with much more than he ever had. If one endures through the tribulation, they will be ushered into the kingdom of Jesus and receive great blessings by the Lord.

Amen brother...
I have also learned alot from you guys and gals who walk in faith and not by sight , and that is what God requires of us , to build each other up , and strengthen each other...
Abraham knew he would be having Isaac back , before he even took him to the altar , he believed God would resurrect him , he trusted God and believed , now that is faith...
I dont know who said it earlier , it may of been John with the numbers attached to his name , but he said he only reads the bible and does not take notice of men , well I used to think like that , but we all need training from preachers , men of God , to help in our growth , not from false preachers like some I could mention on here , but from sound biblical men like yourself and other fine godly men on here , and a few of my sisters who have taught me a thing or two...
Some people just are not willing to lose their pride , they think being right in their own understanding is what counts , I call it a great error of their ways...

I think you are basing "the faith of Christ" on Galatians 3:22.
(Gal 3:22) But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.
Here's my take on the verse. The promise is the promise God made to Abraham back in Genesis. That promise is given to the believer because of the faith of Jesus Christ. He came and faithful did everything his father asked him to do.
What is your take?
