Faith precedes life !

[MTMattie]

There's no contradiction, believing indicates life has been given. A Sheep believes in Christ because Jesus has already saved him and given him everlasting life.

There is a contradiction because believing DOES NOT INDICATE LIFE HAS BEEN GIVEN.

Belief is the acceptance that something is true, while faith involves trust and confidence that leads to action based on that belief. Essentially, belief is about what you think, and faith is about what you do with with that belief.

Now how does this apply to us.....,? Scripturally...?

Scripturally we are told

Romans 10:17 So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.

2 Cor 5:7 for we walk by faith, not by sight—

Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.

Hebrews 11:6 And without faith it is impossible to please Him

There are more but I'll stop as you will not read them

Yes it does, for the unregenerate person without the Spirit, in the flesh cant please God.

You understand that Faith pleases God correct ? Heb 11:6

 

[Eleazar]

Many things please God

James 1:27​

Religion that is pure and undefiled before God the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.

And faith is man’s responsibility hence salvation is synergistic

Sorry yet again you ignore scripture

John 20:31 (LEB) — 31 but these things are recorded in order that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.

John 3:36 (KJV 1900) — 36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.

John 6:53 (LEB) — 53 Then Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life in yourselves!

Do you understand that the unregenerate man in the flesh cannot please God Rom 8:8

So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

 

[Behold]

Do you understand that the unregenerate man in the flesh cannot please God Rom 8:8

So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

And what pleases God?

"Without FAITH, its impossible to please God".........and that is YOUR FAITH that Pleases God, when you place YOUR FAITH in Christ.

Later, when YOU take a step of FAITH......that is YOUR FAITH........once again........not God's.

believing indicates life has been given. otherwise man is in the flesh, and cannot please God. If a person doesnt have life, they're unregenerate and in the flesh and cannot believe which pleases God

So the unregenerate is without faith that pleases God. See the unregenerate are in the flesh, period

Spiritual life before activity. Just as physical life must exist before physical activity.

 

[Johann]

Spiritual life before activity. Just as physical life must exist before physical activity.

Friend, you post frequently, yet you consistently evade providing a clear and cohesive response to questions—your gospel offers no life, no hope for the lost, the sinner, the outcast, the disenfranchised, the homeless, or the sick. Instead, you reply with brief, dismissive remarks and avoid engaging in meaningful dialogue.

Have you lost your plot?

Nope faith before regeneration, new life, new birth etc
