Actually, if your definition of faith is consistent with
Hebrews 11:1, then those of Gannesaret who received their miracle did demonstrate this. They didn't see the miracle, but hoped for the same.
Our very foundation is based on the teachings of the apostles (NT) and prophets (OT), Jesus Christ Himself the chief cornerstone.
Really? Name it and claim teaching? What utter garbage in an attempt to disregard a sincere response.
Post-Pentecost scriptures? You've completely ignored
Hebrews 5 (
by reason of use) which
proves that you must use your faith in order to bear/hear more of the Word; however, you might be more comfortable with the apostle James:
James 2:22 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?
It's not the disagreeing that I was in reference, it was that you were either ignoring the scriptures posted or you would simply wave your hand and reply nope, nope, nope.
Ah, you've stumbled onto an incredible mystery that many can say but don't fully understand. And it's not basic at all, it is the crux of the matter. Jesus, James, Paul, writer of Hebrews, Peter, et al, agree that if you want to grow your faith, increase your faith, or be able to bears the strong meat of the Word, you must do something with the Word that you've already heard.
Now, you've said over and again that no one has given you scripture, but I (as well as others) have given plenty.
What do you say concerning Hebrews 5:12-14 and James 2:22?
