Do you think a person who truly does not understand faith is lacking an experience in life?

Question

Do you think a person can live a fulfilled life and never have complete faith in anyone?

Answer 1

i believe he is lacking a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. God tells us that even "faith" we can ask for. a supernatural faith is a gift from God...

Answer 2

I think you are confusing the words faith and trust. I can trust a good friend etc. But I don't have faith in the invisible pink unicorn...I can't rely on it to save me from something. Same goes for god. Why would I waste my time on it?

Anyone that doesn't understand enough science to grasp how amazing the big bang and evolution is is definitely missing out on an amazing feeling and experience.

Answer 3

when i was a tennager i didnt know what a spirit was, what a concsience was, what faith even meant... no one ever explained it to me and i learned thru TV that it was all just myths... or somehow I learned that....
it was not real to me... it wasnt until i hit about age 21 that i even questioned it... now I see that faith is having trust in things without seeing it with your own eyes...

I seen a cougar walk thru my yard this summer, he was as red as fire to my eyes... I had to tell myself over and over again that I axctually just seen a cougar walk thru my yard about 30 feet away from me... i kept making excuses in my mind that it must have been a dog or something... but it was a big huge cat, bigger than our dog... so sometimes even seeing things we dont beleive it...

i think a person that has faith, will also have had to have built some character...so to me it is something that came with age...

character as in a little old chinese lady that has lived in rural china all her life, never had any of the things we call luxuries in north america, but is happier and more content than we could ever be...her hard life taught her character... she earned it by living and keeping on surviving...

Answer 4

Absolutely not. In fact, faith is evil -- indeed, the ultimate evil: Faith is the deliberate rejection of the use of logic to believe something without evidence, or in the face of contrary evidence. SInce the only thing separating H. sapiens from other animal species is the ability to use logic, to deliberately abandon it is to intentionally abandon the essence of your humanity. And if there is anything which is worse than that, I cannot imagine what it is. So, I don't have faith in my family -- my conclusions about them are reasoned, based on evidence.

Answer 5

Some seem to suggest that faith involves believing passionately in something for which there is no solid evidence. To many reasoning people, that sounds more like gullibility. The Bible defines faith quite differently: “Faith is the assured expectation of things hoped for, the evident demonstration of realities though not beheld.” (Hebrews 11:1) So genuine faith is not mere gullibility. It is based on solid evidence, on reasonable assurance.

not exactly, you have to build it up...

Answer 6

Don't know if you mean faith in terms of religion. But it's always good to have someone real, like friends you can trust.

Answer 7

Yes I do. I think that if you nelieve what you say, you are about the most narrow minded supercillious individual that I have ever heard of.

We do not all need a god because you do. We can survive quite successfully without an imaginary friend

Answer 8

Experince in life is learn from your interactions with life experinces, you can only learn so much from a book. Using it in practial means is another matter.

Answer 9

Absolutely. The only ones who say no are the religions. What do you expect?

Answer 10

everybody has their own experience and path in this life--some have no need or desire for any form of religion, and that works for them--blessed be all!
