God believers, Is faith nothing more than a mental block to block out any logic that jeopardizes your belief?

Question

Every time I mention some kind of logic to God believers, they usually escape with the faith route

Answer 1

Yeah Dude! You got alot of that F word going around! Ha ha! So I'm not going there, but then again, I'm not Xian either!
Logic, let's try Science. Everything in the Universe is made up of energy. So let's try this approach. It's not some 'Big Daddy' figure in the sky, that is above and beyond us. But rather a common 'Energy' that exists within everything! Therefore you can't harm anything w/o in turn harming yourself. We are all connected!
Blessed Be... ; )

Answer 2

If your logic seems to prove that God doesn't exist in your mind, of course your going to be refuted. Why would you imagine that being an advocate for no faith is the right way to seek understanding of others who believe different than yourself? That people have been able to accept the seemingly purposelessness of life by accepting that there is a meaning made by a higher being shouldn't be a concern in your life unless you too want to share in that belief, right? So, your getting the best many have to offer you. Feel special because you are indeed.

Answer 3

It is just that you use logic as a mental block that does not allow you to understand faith. every time that you choose not to understand God you will try to escape with the logic route.

Answer 4

There's times when faith transcends logic. It's not logical to believe someone can walk on water. But by faith I believe that Jesus did. It's not logical to believe that someone who has been dead a few days, can get up and walk out of his tomb. But I believe by faith that when Jesus yelled out, "Lazarus, come forth", that Lazarus stood up and walked out of the tomb. It's not logical to believe that Jesus could heal the lame, or make blind men see. But by faith, I believe He did. And it's not logical to believe that Jesus can forgive my sins, but by faith, I do.

Faith is not a mental block, it's a belief in an Almighty God.

Answer 5

Faith is "the evidence of things not seen".

Faith comes in many forms, and everyone has it. Faith is any belief you have in anything that you haven't seen. I would venture to say that most human knowledge comes from faith.

When related to the Gosple. Faith is the evidence that you receive when you follow the commandments and see the positive results.

Faith is compaired to a seed, because as you take care of a seed it grows. And faith will eventually become knowledge.

Answer 6

Uh, no...and, this Christian doesn't understand what you call the "faith route." After all, you believe (or have faith) that all Christians have stopped using their brain.

As soon as you quit generalizing your way out of facing someone in honest dialog, I'd be happy to talk to you about faith vs. organized religion. You might be surprised to find out that we have more in common than not.

Answer 7

no, faith is not a block to logic.

Guess what, God and science can co-exist quite nicely.

Seems like you have a problem with that.

Answer 8

Hey Bro,could agree with you with that but
What about the things that seems logical but is'nt
ever heard of the thing called phenomena
is it logical for the earth to revolves round the sun when we could'nt even stand the earth shake or tsunami.
what will happen if the earth moves out of its course/orbit or the sun fails to rise up next morning?

Answer 9

Since you opened your question to "God believers, " did you really think anyone would answer yes?

To answer your question, a "mental block" might not be a bad explanation. I'm not quite a "God believer" though. So I don't really qualify. I am happy for anyone that has the ability to belive in God. I wish I was one of them.

Answer 10

the fact is that you should be testing your faith all the time. but what logic are you talking about. if your asking someone to prove that god exsists you will get no sign that he does. he said it in the bible that those that look for signs will not find them you just have to believe. so you might be saying wow that really helps me oooh how profound. cant help you find something you dont want to look for. and because i believe in an afterlife i (without knowing you) care enough that i want you to go there to and not be eternally punished. so take waht you want you dont say no to me you say no to god.
