You have no definte answers about God, Why do you reject Faith as the answer?

Question

All I need is to feel you arms around me and I'm not alone. I praise your name and wait for you to take me home. In anything and everything you are-----Jesus is the Son of God.

I WILL REPORT THOSE GAMING FOR POINTS.

Answer 1

You must remember one thing it is not by our faith, it by the Faith of Jesus Christ.

For his Faith is perfect and his word shall be, unlike that of mankind.


Heb 11:1
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the euidence of things not seen.


1. Description of the great things which faith (in its widest sense: not here restricted to faith in the Gospel sense) does for us. Not a full definition of faith in its whole nature, but a description of its great characteristics in relation to the subject of Paul's exhortation here, namely, to perseverance.

substance, &c.--It substantiates promises of God which we hope for, as future in fulfilment, making them present realities to us. However, the Greek is translated in Heb 3:14, "confidence"; and it also here may mean "sure confidence." So ALFORD translates. THOMAS MAGISTER supports English Version, "The whole thing that follows is virtually contained in the first principle; now the first commencement of the things hoped for is in us through the assent of faith, which virtually contains all the things hoped for." Compare Note, see on Cmt. on Heb 6:5, "tasted . . . powers of the world to come." Through faith, the future object of Christian hope, in its beginning, is already present. True faith infers the reality of the objects believed in and honed for (Heb 11:6). HUGO DE ST. VICTOR distinguished faith from hope. By faith alone we are sure of eternal things that they ARE: but by hope we are confident that WE SHALL HAVE them. All hope presupposes faith (Ro 8:25).

evidence--"demonstration": convincing proof to the believer: the soul thereby seeing what the eye cannot see.
things not seen--the whole invisible and spiritual world: not things future and things pleasant, as the "things hoped for," but also the past and present, and those the reverse of pleasant. "Eternal life is promised to us, but it is when we are dead: we are told of a blessed resurrection, but meanwhile we moulder in the dust; we are declared to be justified, and sin dwells in us; we hear that we are blessed, meantime we are overwhelmed in endless miseries: we are promised abundance of all goods, but we still endure hunger and thirst; God declares He will immediately come to our help, but He seems deaf to our cries. What should we do if we had not faith and hope to lean on, and if our mind did not emerge amidst the darkness above the world by the shining of the Word and Spirit of God?" [CALVIN]. Faith is an assent unto truths credible upon the testimony of God (not on the reasonableness of the thing revealed, though by this we may judge as to whether it be what it professes, a genuine revelation), delivered unto us in the writings of the apostles and prophets. Thus Christ's ascension is the cause, and His absence the crown, of our faith: because He ascended, we the more believe, and because we believe in Him who hath ascended, our faith is the more accepted [BISHOP PEARSON]. Faith believes what it sees not; for if thou seest there is no faith; the Lord has gone away so as not to be seen: He is hidden that He may be believed; the yearning desire by faith after Him who is unseen is the preparation of a heavenly mansion for us; when He shall be seen it shall be given to us as the reward of faith [AUGUSTINE]. As Revelation deals with spiritual and invisible things exclusively, faith is the faculty needed by us, since it is the evidence of things not seen. By faith we venture our eternal interests on the bare word of God, and this is altogether reasonable.

Answer 2

Because of the example that followers have set for the last 5000 years or so. It has been a freaking blood bath filled with the worst vices of mankind.
I do have faith that there is something greater than this mess we live in, but to accept the word of murderous, greed driven bastards is not acceptable. It is not a good example of divine inspiration.
I have faith that God is a God of love not a rationalization for corrupt behavior.

Answer 3

I have no definite answers about god, and need none. THAT is my faith: that I need no faith. You believe yourself to have taken "the high road" and to be the one that resides at the top of the philosophical pyramid so to speak. Those that claim to be wise are so seldolm those that truly are...

Though I suppose the same words could equally be applied to myself. A shame, really. But a shame I'm willing to accept.

Answer 4

You just don’t let them slow you down...good for you. I have found that the Atheist are by far the biggest fanatics of all. But to answer your question, faith is all there is. No one knows God...I don’t care how many time they read the bible or how much time they spend in church. Anyone who speaks on God’s behalf is either delusional or a flat-out liar!!!

Answer 5

The people who refuse Faith as an answer to God deserve no answer.

Answer 6

You have no definite answers about God, why do you accept Faith as the answer?

Answer 7

because faith in a religious context means believing something despite their being no evidence for it. why should I believe soemthing you can't even begin to prove withour circular logic?

why DO you believe?

religious faith is detrimental to individuals and societies alike.

Answer 8

Faith isn't a definite answer.

Answer 9

Because "faith" isn't an answer to anything whatsoever.

Answer 10

You have no definite answers about God.

No one has definite answers about God.

Therefore, Jesus is the son of God.

Blahhhh.... the logic... it's so flawed... it melts my brain... ahhhhh....
