In my case it did not occur in one initial moment.

That trust accumulated gradually.
Possibly it is still an on going matter.

Personally then, I don't demand that full trust be instantaneous and complete from the onset to others.

A huge sigh of relief rises up from the multitude, upon hearing that you 'don't demand that full trust be instantaneous and complete from the onset to others' -- whatever that bit about 'the others' means.

A huge recognition of the great significance of your sarcasm.

My comment (if worthless to you) was simply a way of saying, the OP [b]All or nothing is probably a gradual matter to many believers of the Bible.

Shrug, or whatever, JS357.[/b]

The Bible can be understood metaphorically , no problem

As well as literally at times ._.
