Do you have any faith?

Question

Rom 10:17 So then faith [cometh] by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Better take it for what it is worth. The bible says that in due time you won't be able to find out what God told you to do and than thats when the trouble sets in.

2Pe 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

Answer 1

Yes, I have a lot of faith. And you shall also have it after going through the definition of faith here-

Faith is that power of discrimination made available to mankind by God Almighty using which a human being can not only reach God but accomplish tasks considered unachievable.

Faith is that ingredient which differentiates human beings from animals and the lower species. It is Faith in God Almighty which makes David defeat the Goliath. It is Faith in the system of God that makes an ant kill an elephant.

It is the element of Faith in the system of God which differentiates the serious seeker of spirituality from a commoner. Without Faith it becomes difficult to believe in the existence of God. God is everywhere yet none can see him. We only feel the presence of God but only sometimes. To be able to perceive God from the inner eyes... we must have inbuilt power of Faith in us.


Existence of Faith in human beings is not a faculty which can be inculcated. It has to exist from within. Faith is something which cannot be garnered from bookish knowledge. Faith is beyond the capture of senses and the mind. It is absolute Faith in the system of God that man gods like Mahavira, Gautama Buddha, Jesus Christ and Prophet Mohammed gained enlightenment and finally salvation in their lifetime.

Without Faith much cannot be accomplished in the field of spirituality. Science as of date demands logic and proof. Faith commands neither. The prime reason why scientists fail to understand the system of God is they want a logical proof for every belief one may have in the system of God.

How much Faith John Pope Paul had in God Almighty is proved from the fact that he engaged many renowned astronomers to search for God in the vast ocean of the Cosmos. Looking for God through telescopes... and still Christians believe in the capability and the capacity of John Pope Paul... the 2 cent believer of God! Simply unbelievable!!


Believers in God never ask for any tangible proof. They believe in God and that is that. Beyond absolute Faith nothing more required to believe in the system of God. Faith is the most important ingredient of any prayer. Every prayer would become meaningless if human beings had no Faith in the system of God.

It is the waves of Faith riding which our prayers reach God Almighty. If we ever long to reach the abode of God in this very life then we need to inculcate within us an absolute Faith in the system of God. Mere belief in the system of God does not suffice. The serious seekers of spirituality have to dive deep into the bottomless pit of Faith if we are to ever seek company of God.


Most prayers... numerous acts of devotion go waste only because one did not have absolute Faith in the system of God.

I repeat one very powerful instance which depicts the power of Faith in the system of God.

One person started his prayer towards God in the manner, "Oh God, if you exist... blah blah blah! That was the end of a wishful prayer. The incumbent did not even have the elementary Faith needed even to address a prayer. He was praying to God but did not 100% believe if God existed. In the circumstances can we have a faint hope that such prayers would ever reach God Almighty!


Faith is that ingredient which gives human beings their hope and subconscious power. It is the element of Faith which makes our prayers more powerful. One who has absolute Faith in the system of God and says his prayers once is more powerful than one who spends most of his life saying prayers which fall on deaf ears (the level of Faith required for a prayer is absent in this human being).

Any prayer addressed to God with an element of 100% faith is likely to be accepted provided the residual balance of karma is not to the contrary.

I remember it was only absolute Faith in God Almighty which carried me on and on until I reached the last leg of my cosmic journey. How many times since my childhood I may have contemplated suicide... numerous situations when most people loose Faith in the system of God... untold misery and hardships faced... it was only Faith and absolute Faith in the system of God that carried me through! I finally realized God in 1993! More on faith here- http://www.godrealized.com/faith.html

Answer 2

The bible also says I should stone people who break certain ridiculous rules, that women must hide out of sight during their periods and not touch anyone, that I should sacrifice animals and drink their blood and burn their fat, that I can't eat pork...

Why in the world would I care what a book written thousands of years ago by wandering goat-herders ignorant of the real world says? Why would I care about the ignorant superstitions of ancient people? Why in the 21st century are you still scared of fairy-tale gods, for which no evidence of any kind exists?

No, I do not have "faith" in your ridiculous, mythological, self-contradictory, full-of-errors book or the god it pretends to describe. I'm a grown up who uses his mind, not a little baby who gets scared of fairy-tale stories of monsters and demons.

Answer 3

I don't get what you are trying to say here. 2Peter points out that God will wait for you because He doesn't want anyone to perish...yet you said "in due time you won't be able to find out what God told you to do". Your statement sounds as if God has a timetable and if you run out-in this life I'm talking about not the next- then God says tough luck. But the next verse you say speaks against that...I don't get it.

Answer 4

Hi:

It has been said, "religion is when man reaches to God, however, when God reaches to man, this is faith". This idea is supported by the verse you have quoted "Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God (Rom. 10:17

I thank God that he reached me by his word and by the Holy Spirit opened my understanding to his love and his free gift of eternal life through the work of Christ at Calvary. It is all of his grace, faith is not something I work up, but is a response to his promises.

Answer 5

I have faith in Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God who was slaign at the foundation of the earth, the One who die for me and rose from the grave and now sets at the right hand of God the Father!!

Answer 6

I have faith but I am not sure what this is really leading to on Y answers. Is this a way to intimidate nonbelievers? We should love and guide others not intimidate. We should use Jesus like our example.

Answer 7

I have supreme faith in reason and human potential and once we get rid of religion mankind can finally achieve his full potential.

Answer 8

there is no shortage of faith in this world...unfortuantely the misplaced faith in people and possessions and false doctrines outweigh the faith in almighty god

Answer 9

Your memorization of what other people have said is amazing. I wonder what people quoted before the bible.

Answer 10

Faith I've got, just not in any of the organized religions out there.

Answer 11

I have faith that after I finish this burger from McD's, I'm going to have to go to the bathroom....
