Christians, should a murder investigator rely on faith or evidence? choose one?

Question

If faith is so important, why dont professionals use it to find the truth?

Do you know the prisons would be packed with innocent people if the judicial system applied the christian logic to seek the truth?

Answer 1

Actually they both rely on faith and evidence.

Christians apply their objective world views to their beliefs. While not all questions will ever be answered, they remain confident in their decision and possess the faith that what they do not know will ultimately be revealed to them.

Investigators use evidence collected in crime scenes and elsewhere then, based on their world views, evaluate that evidence accordingly, often acting on "hunches", which is nothing more than faith in their past experience.

Answer 2

Professionals could use it to find the truth but they don't have enough faith. Better than evidence is the discernment of the Holy Spirit.

There is more evidence to prove that Jesus did exactly as the Bible told, than any evidence that you will ever receive in a court of law. Jesus even had over 500 witnesses that He arose from the dead and walked the earth after His death, burial and resurrection. He had 12 eye witnesses not 12 jurors to proclaim that He was what He said He was.

Answer 3

Faith?
Oh, you mean like the one they used in witch hunting back in the days? All you do is simply claim that they're a witch and she's automatically burned.
Most of the time, that was used to burn people they hate.
Faith......
So if I commited mass murder and acted really nicely in public and believed in Christianity and Jesus, I would never be accused and will be found guilty? What a wonderful world for criminals.

Answer 4

--OF COURSE THEY RELY ON the same faith that the Bible propagates as defined here

(Hebrews 11:1) “11 Faith is the assured expectation of things hoped for, the evident demonstration of realities though not beheld. . .”

WORD DERIVATION Please note the investigative terms that true science has to use:

“Assured expectation.” Lit., “a sub-standing.” Gr., hy·po′sta·sis; Lat., sub·stan′ti·a

Evident demonstration.” Or, “convincing evidence.” Gr., e′leg·khos; Lat., ar·gu·men′tum. Compare Joh 16:8 ftn.

Realities. Lit., “of things.” Gr., prag·ma′ton.
======
--INVESTIGATORS use scientific faith as defined in the Bible, EVERYTIME THEY turn on their computers that they HOPE will be working and that have FAITH that a suspicious fingerprint will be matched in their files--BECAUSE ITS PROVEN ACCURATE!
--SO no matter how many times they have turned the computer on, they have in back of their mind "I HOPE THIS WILL WORK"--
--YET there is no totally guarunteed hope, that is why they practice the Bibles faith!

--THE BLIND FAITH that you think the Bible teaches is that of religion propagating fraudulent doctrine//SIMILAR TO if someone injects a virus in the data base that would ruin the accuracy of the fingerprint program.

Answer 5

Evidence.

Answer 6

There'd be less guilty folks in prison if the judicial system
had not used experienced intuition/faith to solve the crime
when evidence was non-existent. Christians do not dispute
PROVEN fact,and professionals do not dismiss human
faith/learned feelings

Answer 7

Good afternoon, Tony.

You know, most Christians are not as stupid as you are making them out to be - I don't know of a single one who would say "oh yes, throw out all the evidence!" in a murder investigation. That's beyond ridiculous, and all it shows is that you don't understand what faith means.

Answer 8

Evidence for murder, faith for finding that evidence.

Answer 9

Even murder investigators need faith. Faith is a natural behavior in our daily lives; without faith, I won't travel on an airplane...would you?
Your question is very immature..are you a little boy..or girl?

Answer 10

They do use faith. They use faith to believe the witnesses, they use faith that their scientific experiments for evidence really works, and they have faith that the jury will make the right decision. Unless they can go back in time, everything is by faith.
