What is Faith in the Bible?

[Eleanor]

I'm one who tends to see as many different ways of looking at a set of words in a statement or phrase, as there are ways.

Ain't that the truth!

What a gift!

I turn words around in my head and laugh (or cringe) at the results.

I saw that, too. It is ambiguous whether it is talking about trusting the Bible or about the Bible's use of the word, "faith". I as usual bit my tongue because I thought that, like happens all the time, it wasn't hard to guess what was really being asked.

NO! It's a curse!

Instead of considering what a person meant, just think how nice it would be, without conscience bothering me, to knock down what they said!

What is a determinist?

Is Christ one ?

I think she is referring to what is over toward one end of a spectrum between "freewillers" (self-determinists) and non-"freewillers" (determinists). She is not necessarily referring to the extreme of those believing there is no choice and fatalists, but those who believe that "God has ordained ALL things, whatsoever shall come to pass."

Christ most definitely is one, as, I think, you also believe.
