[Philippians 3:9 KJV] 9 And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:
The faith of Christ consists of the teaching that we are saved by Christ's faith. This may not mean much to you if you haven't been exposed to it, but I think it needs to be disputed.
Our faith doesn't save us, the object of our faith does. Jesus saves us. Our faith in Christ believes that Jesus is the sinless Son of God who could take our place in payment for our sins, and by his shed blood and death we have forgiveness of all our sin; that belief is accounted for our righteousness..........[Galatians 3:6 KJV] 6 Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.
I find no scripture that says Christ had faith.
They equate the faithfulness of God with the faith of Christ, which is unfounded. It is one thing to be faithful and another to have faith. You can't change the word of God to substantiate your view.
[Philippians 1:27 KJV] 27 Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;.........finally let's examine this verse. If you can say the faith of Christ means that Christ exhibited faith, then why does saying the faith of the gospel means something different? According to their interpretation "the faith of the gospel" means the gospel has faith, does it not? No, this verse is describing that faith is to be placed in the gospel, just as faith is to be placed in Christ; it identifies the object of our faith not that the object of our faith has faith of itself.
