Crear - create or believe?
I'm looking at a passage of Scripture and the word used is 'cree'. Does that word or its root 'crear' mean only to create/make/cause to exist, or does it's meaning or use also include to 'believe'?

The context is John 3:16, ....whosoever believeth may have everlasting life.... I don't see any definitions that come close to cree meaning 'believing'.
|
creer = to believe
cree (present indicative, 3rd person singular) = believes, believeth crear = to create crea (present indicative, 3rd person singular) = creates, createth |
Rusty, that's the ticket! Thanks so much! :)
|
To confuse things, the present subjunctive of creer is the same as the present indicative of crear and vice versa.
|
Except in the first person singular. ;)
|
I'm not quite ready for subjunctive yet. :D
