A hope in a persuasive belief in faith into Jesus
by RS  admin@creationpie.org : 1024 x 640


1. A hope in a persuasive belief in faith into Jesus
Today, the word faith tends to means a trust or expectation in something that cannot be known for sure.

The similarities and differences between belief and faith can be seen in a few well-known verses in James.

Here we are not concerned with "works" but with the words "faith" and "belief".

2. James 2:17-18
Verse routeJames 2:17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. [kjv]
Verse routeουτως και η πιστις εαν μη εχη εργα νεκρα εστιν καθ εαυτην [gnt]
Verse routefides … [v]
Verse routeGlaube… [lu]
Verse route2:18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. [kjv]
Verse routeαλλ ερει τις συ πιστιν εχεις καγω εργα εχω δειξον μοι την πιστιν σου χωρις των εργων καγω σοι δειξω εκ των εργων μου την πιστιν [gnt]

14. Belief
If you believe what you like in the gospels, and reject what you don't like, it is not the gospel you believe, but yourself. Saint Augustine (Early Christian father)


Believe only parts of the Bible Cherry pick 2
Do people today pick and choose which parts of the Bible they will believe?
Do pastors today pick and choose which parts of the Bible they will believe? Do they then pass on those parts to their flock and not tell them about other parts?

Note that you can ignore parts of the Gospel that you do not know about or do not understand (ignorance of the law) or you can ignore parts of the Gospel in order to deceive others (and yourself).
