Same Greek word for all, but that was not the point, the point was that Paul was quoting from the Tanakh.

Not the point I entered regarding the Hebrew equivalent for 'believe' in reference to. Paul (and James) was quoting Genesis 15:6 in which 'aman is the hebrew for "believed" perfect tense and Jews translated into pisteuo. Until you can get a grasp of that it is futile to try to go further.

You interjected yourself into someone else’s midrash only to belittle someone for not having the same beliefs you do.

Incase you haven't noticed - this is FR - an electronic town square and anyone can comment on any post. I only challenged your hebrew-> greek relationship of words because you clearly posted the incorrect definitions. I would expect one who claims such a deeply associated Judaism to be able to understand the hebrew used.

Looks like he flew da coop!

Good show Godzilla...always great to see good dialogue..and we all learn. Perhaps they’ll come back and learn themselves. Some seem to have trouble when they are being challenged with the truth. They do flee in time, once they see they have lost the aguement.
