2. Why do you believe in god?
3. Does your answer to question 2 match your answer to question 1?
4. If not, then why do you claim to have faith?

1. Faith is believing in the things you cannot see. To have faith in God means that you have put your trust in Him completely.
2. I believe in God, because He has proven Himself to me time and time again. I've seen huge miracles in my life.
3. That depends on what you mean by match. They are two completely different questions. #1 asks me to define faith, and #2 asks me why I personally have faith. Do my answers contradict each other? No, but they are not identical either.
4. I'm not sure exactly what you're trying to get at here, my faith is not a claim. It's a fact pure and simple.

1. faith is believing in the things that I can't see, knowing that my eyes only see a limited distance. but God's eyes see beyond this realm of life. faith is a sense of knowing, not a seeing. I'm sure that there is something in your life that you have faith in without seeing.. you have faith in knowing that tomorrow will be another day, yet you have no evidence that tomorrow will come. you believe that George Washington existed, yet, you never seen him, but by faith you believe that the history books are correct that a person named George Washington lived.
2. I feel his presence so strongly that there is no way I could NOT believe. I doubt that is the answer you are looking for, but I just can't find the right words to describe God fully, or my belief in him. actually there has never been a time in my life that I didn't believe.
3. sorry I missed question 2, so I have no idea what it was.
4. again, I missed question 2.

1. Hebrews 11:1-"Faith is the assured expectation of things hoped for, the evident demonstration of realities though not beheld." So faith is having a hope. Believing without having to see.
2. Although I can't see God, I feel he exists. It gives me a hope for the future, and a reason for existence. Knowledge of where we came from with an idea of what's going to happen in the future.
3. I think they match pretty close.

1.) Faith to me is the hope for something more when we die.
2.) Simple answer... because it makes sense to me and I have had experiences which there are no other explanations then God. (That is a very simplistic answer)
3.) Yes, they sure do.

To have faith is a little bit more than just to believe. Faith is when you leave your life to the hands of God you believe in.
I have experienced God in personal level. I have done my homework and I love my Lord. I put my trust in my God. He is my Lord and Savior. I want to be with Him forever. I want to serve and worship Him.
YES.

Faith is trusting in the unseen. Because I've seen many things happen that can't be explained, miracles if you will..I myself have had two miracles happen in my life that without God and his mercy I don't know where I'd be. I guess they match,lol.

Faith is believing that God exists and that he sent his son to die for my sins on the cross.I believe because I can see the evidence of him in my life and the lives of others. his dieing for my sins and my belief of that changed my life.I avoid what I see as being sin.Does it match question one? It gives witness to question one.I claim to have faith because I trust God for all things in life and living.What do you have in your life?
