Does the phrase 'o ye of little faith' actually mean 'little belief'? NOPE Luk 18:8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless
when the Son of man cometh,
shall he find faith on the earth?... There are people who believe God and Jesus exist - but yet do not have strong Faith in the 'Promises'. Thread: Faith is Trust. Do you Trust Father God and His Son? - Bible Study ... 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. Thread: Faith is Trust. Do you Trust Father God and His Son? - Bible Study ... 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?
