THE FOUNDATIONAL PRINCIPLES
II Corinthians 4:13
“Faith Toward YHWH”
“Confession:  Homologeo”

Faith always speaks:  Confession - Believing - Thinking - Knowledge - YHWH

                        Homou: the same

Logos:  Something spoken. OR, to speak or say the same as the Word.  Translated:  confess (ed, pro-) confession (pro-) confession is made, give thanks, promise.
