Bible Note: Dear Lionstrong, Greetings in the name of Jesus! Lionstrong your name, but Elephant your memory and Bulldog your tenacity! How's that for a description? :-) I am tempted to say, "Whatever!" But I will instead say that Hebrews 11:1 describes faith, to me! Simple me, I really don't get your point, though you make it so eloquently. Merriam-Webster: Faith- A belief and trust in and loyalty to God. Firm belief in something fro which there is no proof. Complete trust. Sounds a lot like Hebrews 11:1 to me! Brother, I don't deny your *expansion* of my description. I just don't get why it is not a description. Merriam-Webster: Description- An act of describing. Discourse intended to give a mental image of something experienced. For some strange reason, Hebrews 11:1 describes faith to me! Maybe I'm psychic! :-) Peace and blessings in Christ Jesus, charis |
