Answer 2

Faith has different meanings for a Catholic and an Evangelical Protestant. To the Protestant, faith means a trusting self-surrender of the complete man to the revealing God. For a Catholic, however, this act of cordial surrender is called faith, hope and charity.

To a Catholic, the word faith alone conveys the notion of an intellectual assent to the content of revelation as true because of the witnessing authority of God. The Catholic understands faith intellectually and supernaturally. Faith is the Catholic's response to an intellectual message communicated by God.

But for the Catholic, God reveals Himself through the medium of the teaching of the living holy community called the Church. A Christian of the Reformation tradition believes that God makes Himself and his truth known through a collection of books called the Bible.

This book is the teacher, and all other teaching is commentary, good or bad. The divine message itself is restricted to the Book. Actually the Holy Spirit is the teacher, who uses his instrument, the inspired Book. Also, this is only true of Evangelicals of the Reformation tradition, because liberals hold a much more subjective view.

We can see the great difference between the Catholic and Protestant conceptions of the God-encounter. For the Catholic, the locus of meeting is the Church, which for its task of bringing men to God uses many means:

· The teaching of authorized masters, i.e., the bishops and their primate: the Pope; The liturgy; books written by men of the Church under divine inspiration, The Scriptures, the common beliefs and practices of Catholics stretched out over time and space.

· The inspired books, which have God as their author in consequence of their inspiration, are ecclesiastical instruments for teaching, building and exhorting. They are not over the Church, but rather a part of the Church's panoply to be used in her work of accomplishing the task of uniting man to God.

It is the Church, which teaches, the Church, which sanctifies, the Church, which builds and vitalizes. The Church is not a fruit of the Book but rather the Book is the fruit of the Church.

Hence it is that the Catholic does not say in the first instance, “What does the Book say”? Rather he asks, “What does the teaching Church say”? The Church and the Book say the same thing, and since the Book is in a peculiar sense God's Word, he will turn to the Book.

However, this is not his ultimate recourse. He has only one ultimate recourse, the Church herself, and the Book is accepted from her hand and with her explanation. The Book is not the proof but only a divine _expression in human language of the Church's teaching.

Over the Book stands the Church, while according to the Reformation conception, over the Church stands the Book. This fundamental vision of the Church causes the Catholic to look to the episcopate for doctrine, because the bishops are the authentic exponents of God's message to the world.

Answer 3

I see marriage as a non secular concept that is between a guy and a woman, of any race. although, if a gay or lesbian couple want a civil union, which would be legally seen as a marriage, then i'm excited approximately that. that would additionally be prolonged to every person, gay or promptly, who desires to be "married" yet does no longer want the non secular element.

Answer 4

Faith is commonly known as a belief, trust or confidence often based on a transpersonal relationship with God, a higher power, elements of nature and/or a perception of the human race as a whole. Faith can be placed in a person, inanimate object, state of affairs, proposition or body of propositions such as a religious credo.

In Consulting a Dictionary, the definition would read: 1. confidence or trust in a person or thing: faith in another's ability. 2. belief that is not based on proof: He had faith that the hypothesis would be substantiated by fact. 3. belief in God or in the doctrines or teachings of religion: the firm faith of the Pilgrims. 4. belief in anything, as a code of ethics, standards of merit, etc.: to be of the same faith with someone concerning honesty. 5. a system of religious belief: the Christian faith; the Jewish faith. 6. the obligation of loyalty or fidelity to a person, promise, engagement, etc.: Failure to appear would be breaking faith. 7. the observance of this obligation; fidelity to one's promise, oath, allegiance, etc.: He was the only one who proved his faith during our recent troubles. 8. Christian Theology. the trust in God and in His promises as made through Christ and the Scriptures by which humans are justified or saved.

Faith is distinct from hope in that faith is typically general, rather than specific to an aspect, and in contrast to a "false hope" in a fantasy, the object of faith typically transcends what can be proven scientifically and sometimes exceeds what can be objectively defined. Faith can mean believing unconditionally. It can be acceptance of something that one has been told by one who is considered trustworthy. Faith, by its very nature, requires belief outside of known fact. Faith is formed through instinct, intuition, meditation, communing with nature, prayer, or perceived usefulness of a belief system.

Although faith has generated many roots in religion. It is not necessarily a religious word and is not exercised solely in God and god alone, but in every day life in essentially everything one does.
