>> but if it refers to obtaining something more than the mere measure of faith given to believe<<

It may be “the mere measure of faith” but it’s still the faith OF God isn’t it.

[P-Marlowe]

It may be “the mere measure of faith” but it’s still the faith OF God isn’t it.

If it is a measure of faith given to you by God, then it is your faith. If it is the faith of God (which by definition would necessarily be a perfect, unwavering, complete and total faith) then I think that once you have that, you can never stray from the faith and your eternal destiny is sealed forever.

I tend to think that nobody on earth has such faith. Instead we have much less than a mustard seed of faith given to us as a gift from God. But then it is a faith IN God and not THE FAITH OF GOD.

Only cultists like Kevin Copeland believe in that kind of faith being transmitted to mere mortals. This makes them, by their own claim, "little gods".

Do you share that belief with Kevin Copeland? Is that the point you were trying to make?
