Hebrews 11:7 Contradicts Protestants’ Definition Of Faith
In our previous post, we quoted St. Robert Bellarmine who explained how the Protestant definition of justifying faith as “trust” in God’s mercy is distinct from the Catholic definition of faith. An example of how the Bible contradicts the Protestant definition of faith as “trust” is found in Hebrews 11:7.
St. Robert Bellarmine, De Justificatione, Book 1, Chap. V: “By faith Noe, fearing, prepared the Ark (Heb. 11:7). In whom the act of faith cannot be trust, because trust does not beget fear but expels it. Therefore the act of faith in Noe was to believe with certainty that there would be a flood; for from that act of believing a fear arose which was the reason the Ark was built.”
