Re: Faith and belief is the same thing,

Greetings
This post was not directed to I but if it is ok, I will address a couple points.

U said:

"for instance,
you probably don't believe
that God literally wrote the ten commandments on
tablets of stone and
gave them to moses
to give to the children of israel.

I, on the other hand do."

I will share something with you. The 10 commandments come from the "42 Declaration of Ma'at" of ancient KMT. These declarations precede the 10 commandments by 1500 years. Since we know that Moses was in KMT for 40 years according to the bible, the 10 commandments were not written on stone by God but by men....

U also said:

"certain words are viewed as
having a negative conotation with
them,
such as understand,
back ( or backward ),
believe...
all of these things I am aware of.
however, you cannot change the
true meaning of a word.
you may interpret it as you wish,
but it will
always boil down to
belief, or
unbelief. "

Are you an etymologist? Do you know the latin and indo-european roots of english words? Do you realize that new words are added as well as old ones taken away from dictionaries every year? Words and their meanings change according to the socio-economic and cultural value of the word.

As far as Rastafari is Icerned, obviously you dont know anything about wordsoundpower.

U said:

"I KNOW without any doubt that
Jesus Christ is real,
is alive and seated at the right hand of God,
and will return for those who seek him.

how do I know this well let's look at two things
just as reference.

I would not be a christian ( disciple of Christ )
if I did not use scripture for evidence and backing,
for Christ himself always referred to
scripture ( it is written ). "

If the only way you know that Jesus is real is through the bible, then you cannot truly know. Hence, there is doubt. Is their any physical evidence that he is real? I can tell you that I KNOW that Haile Selassie I is real.

You must have been to "heaven" and back if you KNOW that Jesus is sitting at the right hand of God...assuming that God is sitting in "heaven (whereever that place is)"

Tell I how you can use scripture for evidence and proof of Jesus' existence if you came into the faith through scripture?

If Jesus always referred to scripture, then he would not have healed and done work on the Sabbath. This showed that he was capable of individual thought and overstanding...contrary to the parrots that regurgitate scripts.

Believing in things you are unsure of is fine...but when revelations come...you will suffer from the truth.

Peace
