One of the most foolish things you've ever said on here which is quite a feat.
Well at least I'm saying something , putting my understandings on the table to be tested . Understandings you haven't been able to replace with better ones .
Since I got your attention , here is why it's so difficult to get through to you and others .
Pisteuo , or the application of Faith in God is a verb , an action word . We fulfill hundreds of acts of pisteuo every day that have nothing to do with God . Each one is specific to what we are trying to achieve . As a whole pisteuo is an act , based upon a belief , sustained by confidence . As you can see , belief or believing is a part of the equation , but not the entire equation . So I have to show you how " believing " itself is not pisteuo or faithing , but at the same time it is part of it .
Since the English language has no verb form of Faith like the Greek does , they could only translate a part ,( one third ) of what pisteuo really means . Then as the result of the " partial " translation , the English people took it and made God's Word this object of Faith instead of God Himself .
Pisteuo in relation to God is three specific things that happen .
1 ) A specific act of a continual , daily surrendering of our lives to Him.
2) Based upon a specific belief . That He will accept the continual , genuine , ( not perfect ) surrendered life .
3 sustained by a specific kind of confidence . That we make all our little daily decisions supporting the fact we concider our lives to be His now , not ours .
We trust , that He will regenerate the surrendered life , guide the surrendered life , provide for the surrendered life , keep the surrendered life , hide the surrendered life .
And the Vines also says that this true definition of pisteuo or faithing , must produce a full acknowledgement of God's revelation of truth .
