Hebrews 11:1-Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not yet seen.

God and his Angels were aliens. Primitive man bowed and sung his praise because they could not understand his science. The real creator of all things, and his Angels, would not require a flaming chariot or any other vehicle. He never came from the East or the North, always from above. Just as any alien would. The real god, does not require your praise. There are more planets than grains of sand on all the beaches in the world. Why would he go out of his way to love the minute stupid life forms that live on that grain over there in an infinite universe? He was an alien, and may have never visited other planets other than ours and his own. The being we call god, may know next to nothing of other planets. You all worship an alien. An alien that was made by the real creator, just like everyone else.

What's wrong with God's definition?

Vegeta, God made you and He is conscious all about you, so certain, He does understand. i might want to say start up a concentrated learn for perhaps 1/2-hour aday contained in the note. this can improve your faith. we are able to't be lukewarm, yet all of us fall and are available short, so there is forgiveness and also you do properly recognize that. search for suggestion from Him extra, like you probably did right here and learn. you'll see your faith improve and your self develop into extra grounded. i am going to wish for you. God bless you, being a christian is not in any respect basic, yet God will see that you try and bless your efforts so do not provide up, He loves you and can want to not in any respect provide up on you. God is conscious that our flesh is in conflict with our spirit in any respect cases, and He not in any respect leaves us nor does He forsake us. because you enable Him on your coronary heart, you're blessed of Him, do exactly not ignore that he's your Father and He loves you unconditionally. you'd be advantageous, many go with the help of this.

That will do as a start, the trouble is what happens when the things that are hoped for do not happen and the evidence comes in against.

Faith is an umbrella term that encompasses many aspects of our Christian walk. Such as belief, repentance, obedience, etc.
Faith is something that he hope for and many times we place faith in something we do not see.
Faith comes about as a result of an encounter of reason, intellect, and spiritual awareness.

I think the author of Hebrews said it best......faith is believing and trusting in what you cannot physically see.
