a thread of faith

[nicole110]

Hi, all

My friend learnt a new expression “You don’t have a thread of faith in Jesus.” She told me it means “You don’t have faith in Jesus at all.” Do they have the same meaning? Please help me out. Thank you very much.

Hullo Nicole. Are you sure it was thread and not shred?

I looked "the shred of faith" up and found it was right. But I'm not sure whether "a thread of faith" can mean the same. What do you think about it?

I suppose you could use it to mean the same as shred, but it would be rather unusual ~ and anyone listening would probably think, "She said thread when she meant to say shred"
