"Jesus had the advantage of not needing Faith"
I really doubt that. Faith is not about a level of uncertainty but it is about trust. Breaking faith = breaking trust.
Or as Paul would have it:
11 Now de faith [pistis] is [eimi] the assurance [hypostasis] of things hoped for [elpizō], the conviction [elenchos] of things [pragma] not [ou] seen [blepō]. 2 For [gar] by [en] it [houtos] the [ho] men of the past [presbyteros] were approved [martyreō] by God.
Apparently, by God is an addition of the translator, so we can strike it.
hypostasis
hypostatis or understand. Like: A Judge posing the question:
Do you understand these charges?
It has nothing to do with grasping an idea but accepting an idea and taking it up. You could say: you jive with it. Knowledge is totally irrelevant here. It is the sacral (below the navel button): "yes" or "no", as a response to what is, as a matter of taking a position ( stasis or state).
This response, made in the now, typically involves not checking the trustworthiness of the scheme, but is merely a response based upon the implicit trust.
We often joke that the word: hypotheek (Dutch) or hypothecate (English) is a matter of the undertaker, which is not far from the facts, as mort-gage indeed is a payment with death.
elpizo
Hope. This is not just a matter of looking for straws to cling to while drowning. Compare the actions of Herod. He had heard of Jesus, and was looking forward to a meet to entice Jesus to perform a miracle. He was looking for a circus, theater, that sort of thing, like a child looking forward to going to a fair, or hanging out with his buddies in front of the game console, immersed in the online game world.
So, there is some data, and that data is the basis upon which exists a reasonable, calculated expectation and potential within an individual.
Think of Prof: Walter Levin. https://iv.datura.network/watch?v=77ZF50ve6rs
Note, that the data he knows, the mechanics he knows, requires elpizo. Now, here is Jesus, knowing the facts, knowing the mechanics. But to be subject to the workings or functions of them, is a matter totally different.
And like every instance in which the story of the events unfolding, can lead to an affidavit or martyreo, which can then be the basis for someone else to exhibit faith.
elenchos
Tested proof. Like before buying a bottle of wine, you make a tasting. A little bit is poured into your glass, you smell it, turn it around, look at the way the wine is hanging on to the glass, you smell it again, taste it with a little air, etc. You get the picture, I am sure.
pragma
Well, this ain't a database but it is not far from it, as it concerns: facts, that which is the result or fruit of acts. Although, translated with the word: things, it is the wrong word. A "thing" is a suit at law, in the old days, either a restitution was paid, or a duel was fought. Such a suit was often organized by the tribes, and the leader there was the LAW-YER. So, basically, pragma means facts.
blepo
Faculty of perception, faculty to see. And this is interesting. Of course there are those facts which clearly can be perceived: like a tree, a car etc. These are material. Certain facts can no longer be seen. These facts may be anterior to current facts. It also may be forces at work.
To go wild with this, let's assume Jesus could see people's aura. It is still normally something unseen, yet, can be perceived.
On the other hand, certain things must be visualized by the mind. Later, on I will make mention of such a fact unseen. It is a little like Q saying: check mate before the game has been played. That fact, is already clear to Q.
The facts [pragma] without the faculty to see, is what it says, literally.
presbyteros
Often related to bishops, but actually, seniors, or anteriors/ ancestors, people of older time/ past times.
martyreo
When you go and make a deposition, that is what this is. It is a witness testimony in an affidavit under penalty of perjury.
If you would study the next verses, you' ll find that even God himself provides "martyreo". It is often translated with approval, but that is not it and very weak in terms of conveying the knowledge.
At any rate, these elements are what Paul figures faith to be.
Interestingly, Paul also wrote about this: Phillipians 2:8.
Here he says that Jesus became obedient until death, and death on a cross. The word here used for this obedience is a related form of hypostatis: hypēkoos:
At any rate, faith is a faculty needed to persevere. And I am saddened by the fact that this aspect is not clearly discussed in scripture, except for the gospels when Jesus says: I saw satan thrown down .... this is the aspect of seeing facts not seen by the faculties of sight.
On the other hand, James juxtaposes faith and doubt as two opposites in terms of creation, as doubt will only make people sway in all directions, as a wind vane, depending on the vanity of the day (in vogue)
So, yes, based on the 7 laws of nature, mentalism, frequency, cause and effect as the main and easy to spot items, to trust the forces God put into place is an act of faith based upon the martyreo or affidavit He provided. Just look around into nature.
This is what Cicero wrote his son in De Officiis: a mind molded by nature.
Of course there are also mind not molded by nature but molded by an overload of ne-gotiation, or an overload of not having leisure time to be molded by nature. This is the current mind of many people, as they are totally consumed by the system requiring their hypokoos, obedience till death, and death by vaxx.
