[quote:Weyoun:MV81MjkxNTE1Xzk3NTYwMjIxX0U3OTNEMjg2] [quote:Anonymous Coward 84808488:MV81MjkxNTE1Xzk3NTUwNjIzXzQ5MzQ2MUE2] [quote:Weyoun:MV81MjkxNTE1Xzk3NTQ4ODM3X0E1MDhCOEFC] [quote:Anonymous Coward 84805590:MV81MjkxNTE1Xzk3NTQxNDM3X0QxMUEwRTQ1] Does the phrase 'o ye of little faith' actually mean 'little belief'? NOPE Luk 18:8 [i][color=red]I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless [u]when the Son of man cometh, [b]shall he find faith[/b] on the earth?[/u][/color][/i] ... There are people who believe God and Jesus exist - but yet do not have strong Faith in the 'Promises'. http://www.godlikeproductions.com/forum1/message4952906/pg1 ...[/quote] [b][i][color=indigo]Go look at the Greek, believe is the verb and faith is the noun.[/color][/i][/b][/quote] Jesus and ALL the Apostles were Israelites / Hebrews. And it's the language that they spoke. Not Greek. The 'lost' people Jesus was sent to believed in God. Their Faith was lacking - due in part to what the Sanhedrin / Pharisees had been doing - and also the Romans. Just because a person believes fully that God exists doesn't mean that they have a strong Faith. https://www.godlikeproductions.com/forum1/message4952906/pg1 ... [/quote] No, the lost did NOT believe in God. Believing God's existence is not the same as believing in God. A person can believe God's existence without ever believing in God. The Bible makes this clear when necessary and is seen from a plain reading from the Bible. Believing in God IS faith! In fact, if you look at some non-English translations, there is no ussage of a different word! (See example below) So is this difference between "believing in" and "faith" only for English-speaking Christians? Are English-speaking Christians have a different faith than German-speaking Christians? No, of course not! God is God no matter what language you are! In German translation, John 3:16 says "an...glauben" for "believe in", and Hebrews 11:1 says "Glaube" for faith. The first "an...glauben" is verb, and "Glaube" is noun. The only differnece is grammatical. "Glaube" is also "belief". So, you have "an...glauben"="believe in" and "Glaube"="faith". Are English Christians of superior "faith" than German Christians, because of the connotative differnece you added in English? [/quote]

Not true. Faith is Action based on Belief sustained by Confidence. The devil believes in God and trembles.
