ISO M,
Thank you for your contribution to this discussion. I agree with you that faith , as the bible states it, and could be much different from what most people think of when they hear the word "faith".
I am not a bible student, but I have a friend that I consider to have a true bible faith. He says that the bible says that bible faith means that a person's life will exibit what the bible says to do. He says that unless a person's life shows that the person puts forth the things that the bible says one will be blessed for, then that person's faith is considered to be a dead faith. He says that faith must be a Living Faith. One that shows that you are a believer in what the bible says to do. Then he cited a verse from the book of James to me , which was, "Faith without works is dead." Could you tell me if this is something that you are refering to when you talk about your beleif of what bible faith is or is your understanding different from what I have describe from what my bible believing friend said? If you could tell me that, then I could have a better understanding of what bible faih is and be better able to participate in this discussion.
Thanks again for your contribution to this thread.
Lou
