The book of (James) is often used to put believers under law, but I am not one of them. I believe (James 1:1). James is clear in (2:23) that the offering of Isaac was the fulfillment of the righteousness that was imputed to Abraham when he believed God. (Gen. 15:6)
The exact same is true with Rahab also. (James 2:25) She was a believer first. (Joshua 2:9) She then hid the spies as a result. (2:1-24) Faith first, then works. There is no error here.

A fulfillment??????? Either Abraham was righteous before God when God said he was in Gen 15 or he wasn't until you and James say he was. I will believe God said he was BEFORE he had done any works Gen 15. just as Paul said he was. It is amazing how the religious will twist the scriptures to say what they want them to say.
Come on Stranger you should know what you are doing.
