I seem to have two Abrahams in front of me. One is faith completed by works of the law, the other is a faith which does not work. One Abraham's faith was obligated to work, and so he was blessed. The other Abraham's faith was to believe, and so he was blessed.
So there were slanderers of the Gospel, and these are people who might say "I have faith and you have deeds", but why now teach a person is justified by faith and works? Why not teach good works will indeed complete faith, but faith alone will justify? Why not teach that people who do evil don't have true faith, why teach that we must have works to be justified?
Thank you. I aim to be teaching from Romans, so I want to reason through it well.
