Belief is knowing, belief is knowledge one learns when they follow a particular Christian sect or religion. Belief is not faith, belief is just belief. Faith is trusting in God without knowing.
Like love, the word faith is so vague that it has lost virtually all its meaning. But the word, as the Bible using it, is rich with meaning. The key idea is holding to something with conviction and confidence. What we are told to hold to is, of course, God, who is completely trustworthy and steadfast. By extension, by holding to something or someone rather who is reliable, we become more reliable ourselves. In fact, faith means that in a world where nothing and no one seems 100 percent reliable, the only reliable One is God. So we put faith not in an idea or a set of beliefs, nor in a vague “faith in faith,” the modern faith we have in this day, but in Jesus Christ.
I thought this should be the first of the mark as it has a deep meaning regarding the religious idiocies of men and the man-made doctrines they come up with. Belief before faith is stupid as belief will keep you from faith or faith will not be born if belief takes root first. This concept was illustrated spiritually in Matthew 19:24 Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God." Your riches are not just money or possessions, but anything you put above God, even your Belief systems. Because it becomes too hard to turn away from it, so you find excuses to keep it. Way back before one finds Jesus, when we are sinners in the world, often we hear someone speaking about Jesus and life everlasting. This in some triggers desire which triggers pure faith in its infancy. It is this faith we all should protect in others when they are learning to come to Jesus. Jesus said, "Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. "Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me, but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened around his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea. (Matthew 18:3-6)
Modern Christian Religions, drowns this faith fast in belief systems, as soon as a new born comes asking, they fill their mind with rules and regulations, rather than helping their heart to take the wisdom deep within. After some time the new born in Christ becomes indoctrinated in the particular sect they joined and believe this is the way. They are educated in man-made ways and live in fear, rather than living in faith. But this would be found out if one read the scriptures, so as to cover the lacking in faith, they are told their belief is faith and this seals the fate of the new born in Christ, they become a prisoner to man-made ways. When they read faith in the bible they assume its speaking of their faith. The truth is, it is not, it speaks of the ancient faith, trusting without knowing. Believe it or not, it was the first faith they had before man-made ways stuck its hooks in. For a sinner to hear and want Jesus Christ without knowing the bible or any religion, this is pure faith. Faith that they would ask to start with, seek and knock to find Jesus. But in truth most find man-made ways and think that’s it. It is the only reason I write, and speak His message. I care not for Religion or sects, stay in them, don’t stay in them, I am not fussed one little bit. Move from one sect to another, I don’t care. That is a choice you are allowed to make right or wrong.
I just care about one thing, telling people to open their hearts and refined the real faith they once had. Once they do that, do as you wish in your choice of Religion.

I have prayed all week over us, how you feel about me and how i fell about you, but Jesus in the end won and and in that say to you publicly sorry for being short towards you. i understand how hard it must be hearing what I write and how i write it. I know not everyone will understand what I am saying and I should not take that out on you. Jesus is Lord and as such i take my lead from Him.
I understand some of what you are facing in your own walk with Him and know how hard it is at times to keep your face towards Christ, so please I ask you to forgive my actions against you and I pray your situation at home becomes an easy one in Jesus.
May the Lord bless you and keep you close to His heart, in Jesus name I pray.
Please understand I can't stop in the Lord what He teaches me and tells me, so I pray we both have the Spirit of God in the right place at the right time at all times. That we both learn tollerance towards each other and can grow together in the body of Christ, as each of us have a gift and each gift is different.
Again sorry for any wrong doing on my part, I pray you recieve my feeling from the heart and except it in yours.
Blessing T
