Why aren't the words " believe, believer, and believing " in italics in the English translation of scripture?

Believe couldn't even being a scripture cuz believe I see that use a lot for lies it's not absolute like Trust absolute the vert old word to cover all trust absolute divine artist acknowledgment is Aman.
You have to go real far back there's no misspelling on Aman and that's the word for believe that should be in the Bible in many places. And that's all I'm going to say about .
Believe very weak and leaves many excuses avavailable.I see it all the time I hear it come out of people's mouth .
Scriptures like believe on the Lord Jesus people rest in that and they think they're saved . To Know should also be in place of believe .
To know Jesus
I am sure that if people want to make excuses, they will continue to do so whatever word is used to translate the Greek word "pistis" into English. Using a Hebrew word, "aman," is not translating "pistis" into English, but into Hebrew. No English speaker automatically knows what "aman" means; if they have learn ed Hebrew, they will, but otherwise they have to look it up to see what it means in English.

I agree that we need to know Jesus Christ. As John wrote to Christians:

NKJV 1Jn 2:1 My little children, these things I write to you, so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.
1Jn 2:2 And He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole world.
1Jn 2:3 Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments.
1Jn 2:4 He who says, "I know Him," and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
1Jn 2:5 But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him.
1Jn 2:6 He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked.

You missed The To know this is more than just believe and it also part of Aman don't be confused with amen

Aman is more Like exactly what Abram spoke don't underestimate Anan word and don't compare it to any other language this is the most awesome word there is. It's it's really hard to find that you was mmeaning it's very very old your surface talking just to let you know

Abraham (Aman) in the Lord, and He accounted it to him for Righteousness."
I know Abraham as frtiend of God and this is the word Anan He spoke . It would be okay if believe had a stronger Trust killer like I'm movable unshakable but in our everyday languages use mostly for lying I don't need to make it up I see it and hear it all the time

I have to say i never known Jesus As The Anointed One or Messiah . And I can truly say I don't know anybody who could say they jesus As The Messiah . I know Jesus As High Priest Lord God Glorified Son of Man .U know God Alone Has The Anointing and Anoints Like flesh Jesus Son of man with The Holy Spirit. and al this i don't believe ,I Aman!. By way of Ruach Parah im begotten again dead to life The only God in me is what God himself of himself is In Me All this is the commandments of Jesus my Lord & God by His Jesus The Judgement of righteousness it's unshakable unmovable no matter what the flesh does. My flesh will pay its price trust in that if it wasn't Buried already it wouldn't be true !you got to bring it all together my friends

No I didn't miss "to know." I wrote: "I agree that we need to know Jesus Christ." Then I quoted some verses from 1 John 2, which talk of the importance of knowing Jesus Christ.

And no, I am not confusing the two Hebrew words "aman" and "amen". I know that they mean different things.

"Aman" being a Hebrew word, only occurs in the Old Testament. The New Testament was written in Greek, so even in the New Testament as originally given, the word "aman" does not appear. It does in the Old Testament. For example:

NKJV Exo 4:1 Then Moses answered and said, "But suppose they will not believe me or listen to my voice; suppose they say, 'The LORD has not appeared to you.' "

I do agree that we must be careful to apply biblical meanings to words in the Bible. For example, the New Testament sometimes uses the Greek word "agape" for love. But to understand it properly, we need to know that "agape" means a self-sacrificing love.
 
Abraham (Aman) in the Lord, and He accounted it to him for Righteousness."

But all the words that Abraham spoke were Hebrew words. I agree that it is important to be clear that Abraham's belief was an unshakeable trust.

You say that you have never known Jesus as the anointed One or Messiah, but as I have said several times, the Bible has these words: "Jesus is the Christ", not just once, but six times. If Jesus is the Christ, as the Bible says He is, and Christ means "anointed One" or Messiah, How can you continue to say that Jesus is not the anointed Messiah? Don't you believe the Bible when it tells us "Jesus is the Christ"? Here are the six verses where it says that:

Jhn 20:31 but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name.

Act 9:22 But Saul increased all the more in strength, and confounded the Jews who dwelt in Damascus, proving that this Jesus is the Christ.

Act 18:5 When Silas and Timothy had come from Macedonia, Paul was compelled by the Spirit, and testified to the Jews that Jesus is the Christ.

Act 18:28 for he vigorously refuted the Jews publicly, showing from the Scriptures that Jesus is the Christ.

1Jn 2:22 Who is a liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist who denies the Father and the Son.

1Jn 5:1 Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves Him who begot also loves him who is begotten of Him.
 
No I didn't miss "to know." I wrote: "I agree that we need to know Jesus Christ." Then I quoted some verses from 1 John 2, which talk of the importance of knowing Jesus Christ.

You didn't compare it to believe you showing scripture you know or know that's not what I was talking about people just want to throw scriptures don't trying to change as the subject knowing or unknowing thinking they're doing Justice when you're not type of thing .
Believe on the Lord Jesus and you'll be saved in English language that is very weak because believe it's nothing but people use I believe I did we baptized in the name of Jesus I believe I was I I don't know I was a baby but they do believe

And mostly I can't believe Jesus herself would say that if only they believed in the miracles . It's a week ward in English people that know God understand it's a weak word and use it it's relatable but it doesn't sink into the person actually gets the Holy Spirit to jnow and then they realize they know him

I say again, it is vital that we know and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. You say you were baptised as a baby. I believe that according to the Bible, baptism is for believers, people who know ands believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. Little babies cannot do that.

What's the problem with I I don't believe in Jesus.? When I tell you I know him what would you rather be one who knows him or one who believe that someone told him about Jesus when believe is nothing in this language guess work compared to a pillar that cannot be moved the most trusted Foundation and the list goes on

No No No I was given examples of what people say in their lives I believe this or that see how quickly you didn't think about nothing and you changing the subject right there I Know aMan one must be baptized in Jesus name alone to receive the Holy Spirit

(I hope that "Jesus herself" was a typo)

If somebody only believes in the miracles of Jesus, they are not believing in Jesus Himself.

So supposing somebody uses the Hebrew word "aman" instead of "believe." Does that automatically mean that they are genuinely saved, whereas a person who uses and English, or French, or German, or Mongolian word cannot be saved?

The problem is that the Bible tells us:

Jhn 20:31 but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name.

The apostles told the jailer to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ to be saved.
 
No No No I was given examples of what people say in their lives I believe this or that see how quickly you didn't think about nothing and you changing the subject right there I Know aMan one must be baptized in Jesus name alone to receive the Holy Spirit
Sorry, I didn't mean to change the subject. You wrote about being baptised as a baby, and my reply was about the same thing. How is that changing the subject?

The threat is about a calicizing the word believe but if it was never there now I never checked into it . The only Italian word that bothers me is the word men in John 12:31 and 32 can you put to the italic word NEn for Judgment!

Bad translation in English and yes that's what it says but but think about it it's for all common men to read saved or not saved it's still a book it's still a history scriptures that do two things again I'm repeating myself probably to use his own word the scriptures to make the blind sea and to make the ones that Think they see blind and those are the ones who stick to the word like you do Pharisees Sadducees they know their old test inside and out yet little thing like netzer made them blind

Aman is a pillar in me
sorry im cant let u free but someday i know! and i Don't believe you will. I know you'll figure it out Dave I don't know how you were baptized but I would start there baptized in the name of Jesus alone it's a whole different it's not just believes as a holy spirit it's knowing there's always spirit that actually lives inside . I don't I don't smell the aroma that can Not duplicated. And I know unless you've been paying attention to other threads of mine he may not understand what that means
