I respect non Christian Jewish believers even though quite profoundly disagreeing. To them, God is something akin to an impersonal force, except one with law giving power. That often works in times of plenty. It helps less in times of suffering.

That’s why Jesus came and taught us the importance of Faith.

It always amuses me when people declare that they believe in Jesus, but fail to take Him at His Word. When Jesus speaks of the power of faith, or promises miracles, they have to qualify it all by saying that He was speaking metaphorically, or that we are no longer living ‘in the age of miracles’; they don’t truly believe Him at His Word.

Read Jesus. When He says things like ‘According to your faith be it done unto you’, take Him at His Word! It’s not something He’s promising is ‘free’ - you’re expected to do the work of Faith, and it’s a very hard row to hoe; but at least it’s something that you can sink your teeth into and ACT upon.
