Human Faith And Belief Are Predicates Of Persuasion

God wants to reconcile the English words emboldened in Hebrews 11:3 above. “Through faith” was translated from Greek feminine noun 4102 pistis. What human beings believe [4100 pisteuo] and have faith in [4102 pistis] are the predicates of Greek verb 3982 peitho being what and by whom they are persuaded. Greek verb 3982 peitho was translated into English “persuaded” in Matthew 27:20 “But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus”. The “chief priests” and church “elders” were the grammatical subjects who “persuaded” their grammatical objects “the multitude” to “destroy Jesus”. The bible makes it clear that grammatical subjects other than God persuade their grammatical objects to believe and have faith in things contrary to God’s spiritual truth. There is only one God! 1Timothy 2:5 confirms “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus”. Jesus is the one and only mediator between God and men yet there are 4,351 world religions predicated upon 4,351 different religious doctrines predicated upon 4,351 different definitions of right but only God’s definition will count on judgment day. The English word faith is used as a cudgel to preclude religious congregations from asking hard questions relative to facts contained in this paragraph. Human beings who have faith in one of the world’s 4,351 religions can not be faithful [Greek adjective 4103 pistos] to God. Greek adjective 4103 pistos was translated into English “faithful” in Revelation 17:14 “These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful”. English “chosen” emboldened in Revelation 17:14 was translated from Greek adjective 1588 eklektos which was 16 times translated into English “elect” being God’s “seven thousand” “chosen” “elect” “election” who “shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years” which will occur between this earth age and the eternal age that follows to cause “the rest” of “creation” “to come unto the knowledge of the truth”.
