What's the difference between trust and faith?
I'm not distinguishing. I regard "trust" as the real meaning of "faith".
John's gospel talks of believing "that" (i.e. accepting that a statement is true) and also of believing "in" (i.e trusting a person). My case is that believing "in" is what really matters, even though the church has historically focussed on believing "that" because it is easier to teach and monitor.
I see faith as a spiritual element and trust more the confidence of something/someone. As per internet definitions that I've looked up.
There's definitely a difference.
The Biblical God is a "someone". That is the point....
Or a group of beings.. The Gods that came from the heavens. A narrative shared across the globe..
