John 7:5 - "For not even His brothers were believing in Him."

According to your rigid interpretation of the words "believing in" Jesus's own brothers thought he did not exist?   Thre are many more examples where the clear and plain meaning of belief entails a degree of trust. Thankfully the Word protects its spiritual sense from being profained by disingenous interpretation.

Unbelievable. I accuse you of pettifoggery, and in response, you give a textbook example of it.

Well, you've managed to convince at least one of us, Neo.
