" belief and salvation would come through faith. " | |||
I prefer to use 'trust' for believe'. Believe 'aman' אמנ - on א()נ the promise of the Father מ. "Standing on the promises of God" , faithful, sure, established, verified, stand fast. It has none of the nonsense in the english word of merely intellectual assent. | |||
We envision salvation as a ticket, either out of hell or into heaven. It is neither. Yasha ישע is his flesh י()ע that loves the increase of the word ש. We love the teaching. It is about knowing God. | |||
Instead of 'belief and salvation would come through faith" "trust and a love for God and his word would come through the knowledge of the cross." | |||
I like to use "trust" instead of belief. It has too many meanings. I try to make the point with Atheists who say that they just don't believe, that they become irrelevant, because no one cares about what you believe. Atheism is only 'interesting' as a truth claim. Demons believe. The Hebrew word for believe is 'aman' meaning faithful, established, trust, stedfast, etc. It has none of the 'intellectual assent' nonsense carried by the English word. | |||
Believe 'aman' אמנ - on א()נ the promise of the Father מ. | |||
