Jack, while being very careful not to return to the previous topic that was locked, and respecting all the rules of the board, I want to ask you about one thing, SPECIFICALLY, which you said in reply to this question I asked you:
Jack, how come Jesus didn't understand that "faith is binary"?
"O ye of little faith.” (Matthew 6:30; 8:26; 14:31; 16:8; Luke 12:28)
If his disciples either had no faith whatsoever or had total faith, why would Jesus refer to them as having "little faith"?
You replied: "Little faith" does not mean that their faith was not "deep," but just what it says: it is "little." It does not believe enough things. The disciples had a "small" faith about Jesus. They believed a few things about Him. But they did not believe enough things about Him. They had not yet come to believe, for instance, that He was God in the flesh, that He was absolutely sovereign, and so on.
So, Jack, you are saying that the disciples had total faith in Jesus without any doubt whatsoever in regard to a few things, but they had absolutely no faith that He was the Son of God. Just to be quite clear, is that what you are saying?
If that's your belief, what are the few things about Jesus which you think the disciples totally believed without any doubt whatsoever, which inspired them to follow Jesus, while at the same time having absolutely no faith that "He was God in the flesh, that He was absolutely sovereign, and so on"?
