"An Altered Reality"
Now faith is the confidence based on the evidence of deeds not seen (the invisible hand of Yahovah*God). This is the correct
translation which is not based on the modern English Bible. Evidence is the foundation of the “Law” given to Moshe (Moses).
In order to render a judgment, a proper decision must be decided based on evidence. The word “evidence” in the Greek is Endeigma, Endeixis, Elegchos and Endeiknumi which means manifestation of acts, a token, a sign, or proof of evidence.
The writings of scripture is for the benefit of those who believe.
Faith received through hearing which comes from the testimony of the Messiah.
Not everyone is going to be a believer (have spiritual faith) because they are not Yahovah*God’s sheep.
Faith is the end result of the evidence of works
Though you believe me not (Yahshua), believe my works (evidence), that you may know (understand), and believe (Faith).
Faith received through works.
Faith received through prophecy. Also Jn 14:29
Prophecy is for believers only because it builds their faith.
Faith received through knowledge.
Faith received through doctrine (teaching of Yahshua).
Faith received through the records of scripture.
Faith comes by hearing and accepting that which is being preached.
If you can believe (Accept/Faith), all things are possible (an open door).
What things you desire when you pray believe that you will receive them and you shall have them. This is the power of faith.
Signs (exorcism and power of tongues) shall follow them that believe.
The Messiah said, except you see signs and wonders you will not believe. Faith comes from seeing evidence. Also Jn6:29-36
First part-Without “faith”, which is the acceptance of the evidence of the truth, it is impossible to please Yahovah*God. The
word “please” comes from the Greek word Euaresteo which means to accept or acceptability. So this means if you accept/pleaseYahovah you are accepted by her. Second part- For those who draw near to Yahovah*God must believe (accept/faith) that she is (exists), and will reward those that seek her. The Greek word for “seek” is Ekzeteo which means to investigate.
Faith without works is dead. This means “Faith” which is not based on evidence is a faith which is based on a delusion, a falsehood, a lie which makes this type of faith dead or of no benefit. The Greek “word” for works is Ergon which means evidence. The Greek word for “dead” is Nekros which means non-existence. Also this scripture means that one must prove
their faith by the evidence of their own works (deeds, actions).
Faith is made perfect through works (The evidence of deeds rendered).
Work out your own salvation with fear (reverence/worship) and trembling (your actions).
Salvation (eternal life) is by confessing that the Messiah’s name is Yahshua and to believe (accept/faith) in your mind that Yahovah*God raised him from the dead.
Salvation (eternal life) depends on our acceptance of the evidence of Yahshua’s resurrection.
The physical examination of the Apostle Thomas on the resurrected Messiah Yahshua is a way to solidify proof based on evidence. He was not condemned for asking solid proof and he was not punished for demanding for a physical exam. Many
in the Christian community blaspheme the name of the Apostle Thomas by putting an epithet before his name and this is absolutely wrong. To doubt is to question what one has come to believe (accept), by questioning their faith. Doubt arises
when there is no solid proof to back up one’s faith. This happens to those who are worshipping something that is not real or
a spiritual entity that has no legitimacy.
Salvation of the spiritual soul is the reward of the believer.
