IMO, not so “great stuff”. Your hermeneutic smears the edges of all kinds of passages. Have you ever moved a mountain with a word in your mouth? The point of Jesus’ remarks was that men don’t have that important ingredient in their hearts...faith. That is why you cannot do this. But, go ahead and try. We will await the result.
Some of the material here may be good, but it is lost in the weeds.
YES!! Whatever obstacle in my way is a mountain.

If that's the way you interpret it, perhaps God is showing 'you' something?
Jesus didn’t say the reason they couldn’t cast the demon out was because they didn’t have any faith. They did have faith. That’s why they were confused and asked this question. They had cast demons out before (Luke 9:1-6) and expected positive results this time, but they didn’t get them.
It is possible to have faith but not see that faith produce the desired result because UNBELIEF negates or counteracts faith.
God NEVER says anything that cannot be done. "I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me". If one doesn't believe it, the problem rests with them and NOT God's Word - EVER.
Faith grows as we use it - much like a muscle.
