podcast 148 – Dr. Daniel McKaughan on faith – Part 2

Play

Roman coin with the word Fides ("Faith")If faith is not simply believing that some doctrine is true, what is it? In this episode, Dr. Daniel McKaughan explains what, in his view, the Bible means by “faith,” and why it’s important. He argues that it has cognitive, affective, and behavioral dimensions.

He also discusses how the word “belief” has shifted in meaning over time, hindering our understanding of words like pistis (Greek), fides (Latin), and aman (Hebrew). We even discuss a neologism, “to faith.”

  1. In Romans Paul wrote that Jesus was declared the son of God with power by the resurrection from the dead saying he had received grace and apostleship to bring about obedience of faith among the Gentiles for his name’s sake. People have accepted doctrine today and much of it may be doctrines of demons. Do you believe its easier for a PHILOSOPHER to enter the KINGDOM than it would be for a rich man? How does a person know when obedience of faith is accomplished?
