Faith and Belief - Understanding these 2 words can bring you closer to our Heavenly Father!

Christians today do not know this. Watch and see how this will change your life!

Hab 2:4
"Behold, as for the proud one, His soul is not right within him; But the righteous will live by his faith.

Elohim is contrasting the proud Chaldean whose soul is not right within him, with the righteous man. This passage is a very interesting one used often in Christianity. The Hebrew word for "faith" is emunah. Faith - H530. emunah, [53c]; from H539; firmness, steadfastness, fidelity:-- faith(1), faithful(3), faithfully(8), faithfulness(25), honestly(1), responsibility(m)(1), stability(m)(1), steady(1), trust(2), truth(5). This is the only time in the Tanakh that this word is translated as "faith." The word means faithfulness" or some derivative thereof. However, it is translated as "faith" here because it is quoted three times in the Brith Hadasha. In the first quote, the word translated as "faith" from the Greek word, pistis, and is used three times. In that passage it only makes sense to be translated as "faithfulness" instead of "faith"

Romans 1:17
For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “BUT THE RIGHTEOUS man SHALL LIVE BY FAITH.”

In the next passage that Habakkuk 2:4 is quoted in the Brit Hadasha, it only makes sense that it be "faithfulness."

Gal 3:11-12
Now that no one is justified by the Law before God is evident; for, “THE RIGHTEOUS MAN SHALL LIVE BY FAITH.” 12However, the Law is not of faith; on the contrary, “HE WHO PRACTICES THEM SHALL LIVE BY THEM.”

And lastly

Heb 10:38
BUT MY RIGHTEOUS ONE SHALL LIVE BY FAITH; AND IF HE SHRINKS BACK, MY SOUL HAS NO PLEASURE IN HIM.

The ONLY reason that the Hebrew word "emunah" is translated as "faith" in
Habakkuk 2:4 is because Christian translators do not want the term "faithfulness" (meaning that some action and behavior is required) to be applied to Christianity. They would rather have the mystical, cloudy, vagueness of "faith" to be their marketing tool.
