I guess it depends upon the situation. I have been very loyal to people and/or churches in the past but I'm not sure I was faithful. To certain people the faithful thing might have been to be disloyal. Does that make sense? IOW, there are situations where I stayed more loyal than I should when faithfulness demanded either confrontation (loving) and/or and earlier departure.
I think that loyalty is greater than faithfulness. Loyalty involves faithfulness, but faithfulness does not involve loyalty. To be faithful you must only do as you promised. But to be loyal you will do as you are told, ask, even not asked, as you promised and even not what you promised.
I see..I thought about it. And I really believe that faithfullness and loyalty are totally different. Might seem the same but in all actuality loyaly is a far greater thing.
To me faithfullness in minut. Loyalty on the other hand, goes above and beyond the average.
ex: faithfullness will realize there is a problem and point it out... while loyalty realizes the problem and fixes it.
For me, faithfullness is putting your trust into something you cannot prove is there or even exist. Loyalty on the other hand is sticking to a certain feeling group, or something you have commited to, and never abandoning it.
