The mystery of faith...?

Question

Believing is seeing and seeing is believing...

Answer 1

What's the mystery? romans 1-19/20 states that all things made have been shown all there is to know of God ,even unto the Godhead.this awareness of Gods unconditional love in the hearts of all is the source of "faith".

Answer 2

You are apparently trying to draw out opinions between having faith or believing only what you can see?

I'm making that assumption because faith has nothing to do with seeing. Faith is a belief in something that you cannot taste, touch, hear or see. It's a matter strictly of the heart, kind of like love.

Actually faith and love are very similar, only I've seen many more people arguing the true existence of faith when they most certainly believe in love, rather than the other way around. That would be the true mystery.

Answer 3

You must treat your faith with great care.

Your faith needs nutritious food, on a regular basis. Make sure you do not overfeed it, since it can upset your faith's delicate stomach.

However insistent it may become, you should always be aware that when you excessively indulge your faith's requests for attention; doing so would only intensify its need for constant and unrelenting assistance. This situation can be particularly complicated during the early stages of your faith's development (first 3 to 6 months); once a faith is spoiled, it can seldom be reeducated to its former self.

Never let your faith have contact with other faiths unless you are certain that they have been properly neutered and duly vaccinated.

When mating season rears its ugly head, be sure to keep your faith locked in, as it can become extremely violent towards any and all other faiths, which can not only lead to the untimely death of your own faith, but to that of other faiths as well. It is important to keep in mind at all times that this last item does in fact apply to neutered faiths as well, as has been amply proven by recent studies.

Hope this helps.

Answer 4

Faith = believing in something that can't be proven.

So, faith is the same as a wish, a prayer, hope, a dream, or a thought. None of them are worth anything without action, facts, proof, or effort.

Faith is for the stupid and the lazy.

Answer 5

it's true....your beliefs can strongly influence you perceptions. and because your perceptions are influenced by your beliefs..you end up believing what you perceive, which is wht you belived to begin with. so, you really aren't perceiving the truth..but what you belive is the truth. and since your belief is not based on the truth of what you are seeing but on the belief of what you are seeing...then you have belief with no evidence or proof to back it up...you just have a perception clouded by belief. thus you have faith in all you experience..because your perception clouds you to the truth of your seeing. mystery no more.

Answer 6

How many things do you see yourself to beleive? How many things that you see and yet not believe? Universe is full of such mysteries.

I didnot see my great grandfather and yet I believe he existed. i donot question at all.

Faith is a step beyond belief. faith does not demand any proof. It is sheer acceptance of something.At the very basic level, if we take a man , woman and their son and if the man says that the boy is his son it is faith. If the woman says it is his son it is truth. The man will not say " I believe that it is my son" !

Answer 7

Ah, faith is a mystery, all right.

Answer 8

As humans, we sometimes see things that don't exist and believe things that aren't true.

Answer 9

then why is it a mystery? if you believe there is no mystery is there? now I am confused.

Answer 10

But as humans, we see what we want to see and sometimes see what other's won't or can't.
