Do you know what faith means??

Question

By definition, faith is the belief that does not rest on logical proof or material evidence.

So keep believing in 'god' people. it's literally stupid.

hey epaphras.

you're right. i do believe in things on a daily basis without material evidence. BUT I DONT PRAY TO IT AND DEVOTE MY ENTIRE LIFE TO THAT IDEA. see the difference????

get a clue.

hey heir-to-christ.

don't tell me what the bible says what faith is. that's not a legitimate unbiased source.

Answer 1

In practice, faith is ignoring a reality you are not strong enough to handle and substituting a dream of how you would like things to be.

Answer 2

you take things on faith everyday. Are you stupid too? You have no proof or evidence that when you go through the intersection today that you will not be t-boned inot oblivion. Yet you act as if you will be fine.

You have no proof or evidence to support the idea that your actions in your own home are truly private (perhaps the cia or treasury are watching) yet you act as if they are.

Faith is not stupid. It is a necessary quantity of life. I suggest you rethink what you actually believe.

Answer 3

I go by this definition from God's Word, The Holy Scriptures at Hebrews 11:1-3;
Faith is the assured expectation of things hoped for, the evident demonstration of Realities THOUGH NOT BEHELD.
2--For by means of this, the men of old times had WITNESS BORNE to them.
3--By faith, we perceive that the system of things were put in order by God's Word, so that what is beheld has come to be out of things that DO NOT APPEAR.

Answer 4

Faith is the SUBSTANCE of things hoped for, the EVIDENCE of things not seen.

Does your entire world rest on logic?

Then your philosophy will condemn you. Isn't it a foolish idea for a finite man to debate with an infinite God? You will need to pay for your sins. There is no escape. If only you would listen to yor conscience, that you are in need of mercy, then you would repent and be forgiven.

Answer 5

Mathematically, it takes more faith to believe in the theory of evolutions than that of creation. Believing in God is not stupid; it's what the smart people do so that they don't waste their time trying to believe in something that is so close to being impossible.

-Lella and "Hollywood" and Jesus Christ Himself.

Answer 6

I'll let you know...

It has been defined as "an act of knowledge for which very little evidence exists".

Then again, I would PERSONALLY define it as "the ability to believe something dogmatically in the ABSENCE of evidence, rationality and reason".

Answer 7

Prayer to God Against Blasphemy: God is in your heart, love.

May the most holy, most sacred, most adorable, most incomprehensible and ineffable Name of God be forever praised, blessed, loved, adored and glorified in Heaven, on earth, and under the earth, by all the creatures of God, and by the Sacred Heart of Our Lord Jesus Christ, in the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar. Amen.

Romans 1:16-32:

16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. 17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith. 18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;

19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; F6 for God hath shewed it unto them. 20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so F7 that they are without excuse: 21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, 23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. 24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: 25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. 26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: 27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. 28 And even as they did not like to retain F8 God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; 29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, 30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: 32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

Answer 9

Faith is trust. By our statement then it is safe to assume that you trust in absolutely nothing? Sad.

Answer 10

actually, faith means the evidence of things unseen, it means their is evidence from unseen things,, just like you breath air, you know its there because you breath it but you cant see it can you.
