faith moves mountains
Kirk:
Would somebody please give me a one sentence definition, in their own words, of
Biblical faith? Thanks.

Lam 5:18 Because of the mountain of Zion, which is desolate, the foxes walk upon it.
I don't believe Jesus was speaking of literally tossing literal mountains around, but He was speaking of those (elect) who would (through His Spirit) move the mountains of iniquity or of false gods of selfishness, lusts, spiritual fornication.
Eph 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Also, mountains are prominant as He reveals Himself, His Truths, His Love and His Promises.
Luk 9:28 And it came to pass about eight days after these sayings, he took Peter and John and James, and went up into a mountain to pray.
Joh 6:3 And1161 Jesus went up into a mountain, and there he sat with his disciples.
Mountains in scripture appear to represent the very heights of either goodness, our Lord's ultimate Truths or extreme carnality and iniquity as when Satan took Jesus to the top of a mountain to tempt Him.
Do an e-sword search on mountain, or mountains and I think you will see what I am saying.
His Peace and Wisdom to you,
Joe
P.S.Dan 2:45 Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it broke in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure.

Faith is the seed which germinates into our knowledge and understanding of God and His plan and purpose for His children.

Hi Kirk,
I would say faith is assurance or belief in God and total dependence on Him for our salvation.
mercy, peace, and love

I have seen that Ray has either said or written somewhere......faith is belief and belief is faith.
John 6 : 28,29 Then said they unto Him, what shall we do, that we might work the works of God? 29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work, service that God asks of you: that you BELIEVE in the One Whom He has sent, that you cleave to, trust, rely on, and have FAITH in His Messenger.
Peace to you
