They chose instead to believe the serpent -- just as you and the pope and countless other professing Christians have believed the evil one's lie about evolution.
As it is written: "Abraham believed God and it was reckoned unto him as righteousness" (Rom 4:3; Gal 3:6; Jas 2:23).
Jesus also said, "Truly, truly I say to you, he who hears my word and believes Him who sent me has eternal life..." (Jn 5:24).
So...many professing Christians have nothing more than the faith of demons, for many profess to "believe in Jesus" but believe virtually nothing he has said in his Word. Such faith is spurious at best.
Hope this clears up your confusion.

I did not ask you what true faith is or is not. I did not ask you if Adam believed or did not believe God. I did not ask you if evolution is true.
I asked a very simple straight forward question. Do I need to love God to become saved? A question you never answered. You have been talking about every thing except what I asked you.
So far you have told me repent and believe the Gospel. So do preachers like Joel O. However, you tell me they are wrong. You also told me to have Apostle Paul to speak to me, which is what he did with his jailer. You told me about justification, etc.
Why are you avoiding giving a straight forward simple answer to a simple question? Is it too difficult for you to type either "yes or "no"?
