There is a difference in having faith in the unknown and having faith in something that has been proven beyond a shadow of a doubt. There is absolutely no disputing that 2+2=4. So that would be stupid for me to say that it ='s 5 and then say that I have faith that it does. I have faith in God. I believe in God. I have accepted Jesus Christ as my Savior. There are a million or more others, though, that do not believe in God. On the other hand, you cannot say that you do not believe that 2+2=4, because it has been proven. To me, God has been proven. He has answered many of my prayers. But, God is open to dispute for many people, 2+2=4 can never be open to dispute.

my faith just requires to believe that 1+1 it`s not always 2 ... for example the binary system 1+1=10 ...

No this is wrong,faith requires you to accept all that has been revealed in truth by God,2+2=5 is not a truth and so it is right not to accept this.

No. Absolutely not. Faith is the hope and belief of things not seen. Faith is the acknowledgement and realization of truths beyond our human understanding. If one is asked by a religion to believe or act upon that which is untrue, then one needs to re-evaluate that organization and find truth.

Considering that one's faith requires sound reason, no. You seem to make the presumption that because a person has Faith that they lack reason; or the ability to be logical. That is a fallacy of your own imagination.

Faith is misunderstood to mean belief. I think trust is a better translation.
What Jesus demonstrated in his life and taught was not to believe in God - everyone already did. What he taught was to trust God to look after things for you - to follow god's guidance... etc. If there is any believing it is only to believe that miracles are possible - and that after having already seen plenty of miracles.
I don't think belief really makes much difference in your spiritual life, but to trust means to relax and open and surrender yourself to god's will which allows love and peace to come into your life - a very important thing indeed.

Nope, got it wrong.
But that is what you may believe.
It takes faith to believe that this Universe, this world, with a perfect distance from the Sun, a set of 4 seasons, Spring, Summer, Winter, Fall.
Water, Oxygen, Gravity. all in perfect purport ions in just the right balance to sustain life. to say that all of this and much more just "happened" by chance, from a Big Bang, that came from nothingness? this takes faith, to believe that without "testable"
evidence, not theory, but testable evidence.
I am appalled to see so many people who hate the Idea of God so much, that they fabricate evidences and brainwash people into believing this fallacy so that they can normalize sin, and rationalize it, to make themselves feel comfortable about doing something that they instinctively know is wrong, makes me sick.

Dr. Carl Jung, a medical doctor and neurologist, in this theories on the mind stated that that WHOLE WAS GREATER THAN THE SUM OF ITS TOTAL PARTS. In other words 2+2>=5
So I guess if your religion is Psychiatry or Psychology you have to accept that as a possiblity.

No, It teaches that the trinity is one. In science class you are taught that are Universe is made of three parts that make one universe. Same principle, 1 x 1 x 1= 1. Pretty simple once you put it in the right perspective
