scientist said they believed in God,BIBLE said in JAMES 2:19-devil also believed&tremble,is believing enough?

1 Cor 13:13 - "So faith, hope, love remain, these three; but the greatest of these is love." I once asked a fundamentalist friend of mine which was most important: faith, hope, or love. Without hesitation, he responded faith, but the scriptures clearly indicate here that love is more important than faith. Faith is a stepping-stone to love: if you wish to love God, you must first know Him, and to know Him is an act of faith.

James 2:14-26 - This is the passage which many protestants and fundamentalists find difficult to explain, which exclaims rather plainly that "faith without works is dead." Can belief alone save a person's soul? James' answer is quite clearly no.

If you are going on a safari through Africa and come across an ancient tribe which has no knowledge of Christianity, who is more culpable for their faithlessness? The tribe, or the person who had an opportunity to elighten the tribe but didn't? Certainly God won't punish people for not knowing things that they were never taught; after all, we're not playing "Read God's Mind!" No, we are responsible for not teaching them. This just goes to show that, in this situation, it isn't the faith of the tribe that saves them, but their ability to live the Gospel in their current state. That's what's important.

Scientists can believe whatever the hell they want. Einstein was jewish and many scientists are Christian. But if they are "good" scientists they won't let their personal beliefs clash with their work and will keep religion out of science.

Is belief enough? Simply put no. Using your own devil reference, Satanists whom worship the devil (a rare breed) believe, for the most part, the christian mythos, but from your average Christian's point of view their belief has no barring on their destiny because they worship the wrong sky fairy. Just as I could believe in the hindu mythos and give ye olde finger to karma, in my case my belief will get me no where.

It is faith and action that saves, not belief.

Depends what you mean by "believing".. You could know of Gods existence and in that way "believe", vs someone who honestly do not believe that God exists. But also the term "believing in God" is used to describe when someone not only knows that God exists, but sincerely wants to know Him and learn from Him. It's like the difference between knowing that love exists and actually living a life practicing love.

The question is too vague. There are many scientists that are theists - most in fact, just like the general population.

But you're right in that 'faith' in the Bible does not simply mean belief in the existence of a god. It translates better as 'faithfulness' than as 'belief'.

sry dont completely understand the question, but i know several scientists beleive that god allowed evolution to begin. Which kind of throws a little of both theories together.

We are saved by God's grace, and that is obtained thru faith and good works.

Believing means you not only KNOW God exists, but follow thru with God's rules.

God says, "Ok, you can come into Heaven. But you gotta follow thru with my rules to get in."

These scientists have the evidence of works to support their fatih. Works don't save, but they are evidence of true faith.

we are saved by faith alone. Many want proof of god. Yet, believers trust their HEART not BRAINS to know God is real and loves us all!!

some maybe christian
