James 2:21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?
English “justified” emboldened in James 2:21 was translated from Greek verb 1344 dikaioo that subjectively means to make right per the flesh grammatical subject’s fallible opinion of right and objectively means to be made right per the flesh grammatical object’s flesh grammatical subject’s opinion of right. When God is the grammatical subject performing the action of Greek verb 1344 dikaioo God makes His grammatical objects right per God’s infallible definition of right. There is one God but there are 4,351 world religions precisely because they have 4,351 different opinions of what is right. God loathes the English words “righteous” and “righteousness” because they are predicates of more than 8 billion fallible flesh human being’s opinions of right.
