To: Hebrews 11:6

Yep.
The best Pastors I’ve ever had always told us to not just believe what they ere telling us - they encouraged us to verify it for ourselves by studying the Bible - and not to isolate passages but to keep them in the context.
One example of why is the folks that tell us the Bible tells us our body is our temple - so we need to exercise and eat right - totally missing the point that the passage refers to sexual impurities.

“the Bible tells us our body is our temple “

Our body is a function of the purity of the soul that occupies it. A wound in the soul creates a wound in the body. A wound in the body does not necessarily create a wound in our soul.

The soul is perpetual and is what really matters.
