ok, but that doesn't mean "just believe and do nothing," it means "go slay some giants."
6Since it remains for some to enter it, and those who formerly received the good news did not enter because of disobedience,

Yes, but trusting that God would be with them and actually be the means of taking giants down, not their abilities.

I never said believe and do nothing. Active faith does indeed work. But it works in elements that the flesh cannot personally handle, and trusts in God's power to bring the victory.
