What is the basis of faith?

Answer 1

Faith is based on concrete evidence. The visible creative works testify to the existence of an invisible Creator. (Ro 1:20) The actual occurrences taking place during the ministry and earthly life of Jesus Christ identify him as the Son of God. God’s record of providing for his earthly creatures serves as a valid basis for believing that he will surely provide for his servants, and his record as a Giver and Restorer of life lends ample evidence to the credibility of the resurrection hope. Furthermore, the reliability of God’s Word and the accurate fulfillment of its prophecies instill confidence in the realization of all of His promises. (Jos 23:14) Thus, in these many ways, “faith follows the thing heard.”

Answer 2

Well, faith is faith. You believe what you believe. Sorry I can't be more detailed, but this does not seem to be a question. Faith has no foundation except itself and whatever the faith is (Christianity, Judism, etc)

Answer 3

basis of faith is having something that gives you hope and feels right in your heart
basis of belief is have personal evidence that leads you to believe something to be true for you

Answer 4

The basis of faith is believing in what you can not see, feel or hear...
You hear and feel the wind, but can you see it?
You know that time is passing but you can't feel it.

Answer 5

Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not yet seen.

Answer 6

"Faith is believing what you know ain't so." Mark Twain

"Truth does not demand belief. Scientists do not join hands every Sunday, singing, yes, gravity is real! I will have faith! I will be strong! I believe in my heart that what goes up, up, up must come down, down. down. Amen! If they did, we would think they were pretty insecure about it." Dan Barker, former Christian minister turned atheist.

Answer 7

Truth.
What we believe is truth, and having faith it will occur.\
Faith is the assurance of things hoped for.
We would not have assurance unless we feel it is true.

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

A secular way to look at it-----you are certainly not going to have faith in something you know is a lie, correct?

Answer 8

If we really knew the truth of that word, we would all be going to heaven. Hopefully there is one other wise I haven't been very honest with my children.
From what I know, its a word that only you can answer.
My thought has always been A belief in oneself - Thought- Word and Deed.

Answer 9

Brainwashing

Answer 10

The basis of faith comes from gaining the very knowledge of God.

Proverbs 2:1-10: " My son, if you will receive my sayings and treasure up my own commandments with yourself, 2 so as to pay attention to wisdom with your ear, that you may incline your heart to discernment; 3 if, moreover, you call out for understanding itself and you give forth your voice for discernment itself, 4 if you keep seeking for it as for silver, and as for hid treasures you keep searching for it, 5 in that case you will understand the fear of Jehovah, and you will find the very knowledge of God. 6 For Jehovah himself gives wisdom; out of his mouth there are knowledge and discernment. 7 And for the upright ones he will treasure up practical wisdom; for those walking in integrity he is a shield, 8 by observing the paths of judgment, and he will guard the very way of his loyal ones. 9 In that case you will understand righteousness and judgment and uprightness, the entire course of what is good.

10 When wisdom enters into your heart and knowledge itself becomes pleasant to your very soul, 11 thinking ability itself will keep guard over you, discernment itself will safeguard you,"
