Honestly, I admit I don't think about satan and his demons much at all. But lets look at the problems with using pisteuo, a continually surrendered life, which is communicated solely to us and James adding demons to the fold. Pisteuo or what should have been translated faithing in the English...

Pisteuo takes work (not works) and effort, that's the true salvation response that results in receiving the Spirit of Christ. Believing is only believing and can never result in receiving the Spirit of Christ. The people have performed work and effort, it's because you are standing on the...

The "churches" of today all have one thing in common. They are tripping over a stumbling block. Maybe it was laid by Christ. "I lay in Zion a stumbling stone that causes men to stumble." The stumbling stone I'm referring to is all the churches stand on the "mistranslated" words believe...

thanks Michael

There is no such thing as "only believing" in the Greek language. Strong Greek dictionary gives the disclaimer, "pisteuo means not just to believe." Context, gender, tenses, doesn't change the core definition of the Greek word Pisteuo. Only the one trying to translate pisteuo into the English...

Yes they have if you apply the correct Greek definition. The Greek is the most precise language on the planet, the English not the worst but close to it.

Our limited framework of understanding reduces salvation to a process in my mind. Things that MUST happen, and happen in the right order. Open to any better suggestions on that. Jesus was 100% man, a !00% God at all times all the time. Christianity requires this paradox must be accepted going...

Trying to shine light on the fact there is no such thing as "a believer" in the Greek language, there also is no such thing as an "unbeliever". There is only Pisteuo, "a continually surrendered life, and living a life inspired by such surrender". This is faithing towards God. And there's...

Don"t agree that the relationship is "synergy", the deeper aspects are paradoxical as per the Greek texts, taught by a gifted teacher, and discerned by His Spirit.

The "synergy" is paradoxical. Example: The Father, Son and Holy Spirit are one entity. but three separate entities at all times , all the time. Example: Jesus was 100% man and 100% God at all times, in all respects, in every way. Christianity requires this going out the gate. Jesus taught...

For the most part i agree with your understanding. But i don't think our relationship with Christ is a partnership of sorts. We surrender daily, live life making decisions that support such surrender, We don't bring any terms to the table. we surrender to be a slave to the one we surrender to...

Trust is a part of Faith but taken as a whole for salvation would be error. The Greek has the noun Pistis where we get our English word Faith. The Greek also has a corresponding verb to noun pistis, pisteuo. Pisteuo is a verb an action word. The English language didnt have a corresponding verb...

What specifically does the "through Faith" portion mean in todays church?

Withered? The disciples maintained their surrendered lives until they were horribly tortured and murdered, still leaning on Christ. Save John.[/QUOTE

Take a minute to go into my posting history. 95% of my posts are about my understanding of Faith correctly understood.

Please explain!

But they first " surrendered their lives" , faithed into Christ, not just believed in Him.

Remember, the original texts had no punctuation, no chapter and verse. Every new translation puncuates differently possibly changing the message.

My gifted Bible teacher got kicked out for asking to many questions. They told him he needs to go to the University, Stanford University. That was in 1950!

Your act of Fsith" "believing only" is based on a counterfeit translation!
