It's time that you do some actual research with books instead of asking irrelevant opinions of strangers.

Can you recommend a book which clearly shows which came first, "Faith Alone" or "Scripture Alone"?

Scripture came first. Without the word of God, one can not have biblical faith.

Faith come by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Romans 10:17

God told those boys what sacrifice pleased him. Faith come by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. There is not such thing as blind faith in the bible.

You don't seriously expect him to do any investigation, do you? He's clearly only here to ask odd questions and thereby entertain himself.

I guess Abram's faith was not "biblical" then. Same for Enoch, Jacob, and the others of the pre-Scripture era.

Wow.

As I have told you before, you need to think through your arguments before you post them. ;)

Remember...God's word doesn't have to be written to be believed. Spoken works.

Abram did not have the word of God instructing him? Have you read scripture?;)

Was this written scripture or the word of God as given to Moses?

Romans 9:17 For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth.
