Faith Is Really Just The Same Thing As Trust
Some words mean the same thing in a way, and some words we use only serve to make simple things more ambiguous.faith, is really Trust ;-) A different way of saying the same thing. Which is way two people can be saying pretty much the same thing and still disagree....;-)

I agree. Trust can be misplaced some times though especially since I've not heard of a case where god has proved his trustworthiness to his followers.

I could agree a little bit, but I disagree more based on personal experience. When I trust someone, it is usually because they have proven themselves and earned my trust, but when I believe in something using faith, its more blind than trust. It would be hard to explain, at least in the same way as trust, how God has proven and earned my faith. The whole point of faith was that he didn't have to prove or earn it; that I willingly gave it without asking for anything in return. When I give out my trust, I expect respect in return; the respect to honor my trust.

I think faith implies in spite of a lack of direct knowledge where as trust doesn’t specify.
