My 1st language isn't English, so I'd like some help with the verb believe. If you say you belive in something, the you have faith in it's existence right? So, I belive in God means you have faith in the existence of God. But if you say I belive God, then it means you trust God, you think God won't abandon you, right?
If you're talking with someone, you usually don't say I believe in you, right? . You say I belive you, which means I think what you say is true.But I belive you can also mean you belive that person will succeed, oK? For example , if you tell your son you believe him, then it may mean you belive he'll be a good man, a good father, etc.
Believe in may also mean you think something works. For example, I believe in technology may mean you believe technology will solve your problems.
Am I correct?
Thank you very much
