Faith: a few thoughts
All these words are down stream from Peitho (GRK) (where Faith comes from)
agree, assure, believe, have confidence, obey, truth, yield.
The last three are of particular intrest! Scripture has bee translated by men with agendas, predispostitions, and their own unique personal influences. "It is not an exact science" (friend in Wycliff used that phrase). And anyone who believes that God acted to prevent error just needs to read the NIV.
The lie with the most Truth is the easiest to believe. Since Scripture is about God's Truth (Christ) the best lies can be found to have their roots in scripture. Not that the scripture is the lie but the constructs creating the theological frankensteins.
Thought of the Day: Whenever you have an "ism" following someone's name it's a good be idea to be wary.
