Part 2/7:
A fundamental point of confusion in many spiritual teachings lies in the distinction between belief and faith, particularly within traditional Christianity. The New Testament mentions both terms, but they are often misunderstood.
Belief denotes an acceptance of something as true without the certainty that comes from knowledge. It often refers to faith in stories or concepts that cannot be verified. For instance, one might say, "I believe in angels," which indicates a mental assertion about something they have not witnessed.
