I think it is how we view eternal faith as coming from hearing God not seen .It is the gift of God not after the imaginations of ones own heart . But the faith of God that works in us to both will and do the good pleasure of God as a imputed righteousness.
God imputed His faith that worked in both Abraham and Rehab to prostitute and were called friends of God. as the better thing that accompanies salvation He promises us he will not forget the good workswe have offered towards his name .No bragging rites.

i'm wondering why God didn't consider his nazarite status void when he drank wine or when he touched dead bodies, and about how that relates to Ecclesiastes 7
Christ did not take the oath of the Nazarites. He was a Nazarine. He was not bound by their oath...........just saying
Not all Nazarines took the Nararites Oath

When anyone has said what he has to say, he has the absolute right and duty not to say more, even when "interrogated" by
According to Jesus, when reading and understanding the law without a veil, we are to apply mercy, faith and justice.
Certainly God does this by His very nature. He loves us all, and Samson was no exception, who did call upon the Lord in Spirit and Truth
Think about King David and his blood guilt from having killed in battle…...Yet he has been honored to have the throne of God be his name, Beloved.

Like the post, posthuman! HUMILITY. Seems to me that's the point. There are beings, angelic and human, with vast, immense awareness and understanding, compared to mine.
A critical flaw in most everyone, is believing we have the right to 'feel superior' to some group or set of people. The enemy makes use of this defect and causes wars, murders, and hatred on the basis of "ME BEING MORE RIGHTEOUS, MORE WISE, MORE ENTITLED."
The scripture that comes to mind is Matthew 18 vv2-4:
'He called a little child, whom he placed among them. And he said: Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever takes a humble place – becoming like this child – is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.'
We can destroy ourselves with arrogance and self-righteousness, thinking we are 'all that'.
