    Noah didn't know he was going to save humanity and all the animals by building his amazing boat!! The animals and humans of the world are so lucky that Noah built his ark and gathered everybody together to save them from the flood!

      That statement is error God is savour not Noah. God reveal to Noah what he was going to do the old world and reveal and instructed him how to build the ark that statement you make is dangerous and destructive to minds and this is so because you don't know that faith is not believing

    Also, it's "...the core of religious faith is that mystic feeling which unites man with God. This state of spiritual communion can be brought about and maintained by means of meditation and prayer." ~ Shoghi Effendi, Baha'i Faith

    Faith is simply the fulfillment of belief. Many believe a bungee cord will save them from hitting the rocks below, but few fulfill their belief by tying it on and jumping.

    I would say, we also forget maybe an even more important point of this. It is based off what God Says. If we get up and go out, "not knowing" because we just "want" to and have something else. It's not Faith. God is the initial trigger of it.

    Faith means to trust. People in the Bible obviously had reasons to trust God despite what God told them because they knew God is perfect and delivers on His promises. Please stop teaching and believing that faith is putting on a blindfold and jumping off a cliff.
    “And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book: but these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.”
    ‭‭John‬ ‭20:30-31‬ ‭KJV‬‬
    Jesus gave REASONS for people to place their faith (trust) in Him. That’s the whole point of the resurrection. Even in the OT God freed the Israelites with many signs and miracles so that they can know the power and trustworthiness that He has. These verses about faith have been misunderstood as believing without reason when it actually means believing with GOOD reason

    BY FAITH… Abraham believed God. I don’t thing that was the faith you exercise when you sit on a chair without examining it. For some reason … because of a gift of conviction about the One who call (effectually), Abraham was given that gift and insight into the character of God. It wasn’t just any old conviction from any old calling voice.

    FAITH, ACCORDING TO JESUS, WAS *NOT* BLIND BELIEF!
    "Without faith, it's impossible to please God," is a quote from Hebrew 11:6 which is very often used by Neo Evangelicals (formerly known as Fundamentalists) to convince their followers and potential converts they must abandon all reason, stop using the brain God gave them and just obey without question...or else!
    However, when Jesus talked about "faith," that was NOT what he meant? No! We know this, for example, because a man once came to him, first asking his disciples to heal his son suffering from epilepsy and a speech deficit, but their efforts failed. Jesus then inquired about the boy's symptoms and, when the father asked him to help, Jesus said, "Anything is possible to the one who PISTEUONTI, often translated as "believes." The father then said he PISTEUO ("believed"), but asked Jesus to help his APISTIA, ("unbelief").
    Most of the time, Neo Evangelical preachers and teachers would have us think Jesus was talking about "belief" in the way we today mean "thinking something is true without any evidence" or "accepting something as true without question."
    But if this were the case, why would the father of the boy say he didn't have ENOUGH of what was really just BLIND FAITH? Blind faith, the kind which doesn't question, nor requires any evidence, does NOT come in partial quantities! You either have it all or you have none!
    So, what sort of "believing" was Jesus actually talking about? Well, Jesus alluded to this other sort of "believing" or "faith" when he compared it to a mustard seed (in Matthew 17:20), something that is effective no matter "how much" you have! In other words, he wasn't talking about "faith" or "belief" in the sense of blindly accepting something to be true, but the sort of CONFIDENCE that comes from EVIDENCE and EXPERIENCE!
    When you look up and see the sky is blue, you don't have to keep trying to make yourself believe it's blue! It's not that you have "more faith" either! No! You KNOW the sky is blue because you have the evidence to prove it! And on the following day, before the sun rises, you have the CONFIDENCE that the sky will, once again, be blue (barring a rain storm), because your EXPERIENCE informs you that it was blue every time before so, very likely, it will be again! Now, maybe we can use the word "faith" in this scenario, but it's fundamentally different from making yourself think the sky is PINK, because someone said you had better believe it, or else!
    Think about it! If all you ever do is blindly believe whatever you're told or told the bible says or means, you're bound to accept whatever the very first group of proselytizers get to you! You're "salvation" hinges only on the pure luck of the draw!
    Once you have solid evidence to support any given assertion, you then have "faith" in it, but not the blind sort! Once you have the experience of, let's say, successfully performing a medical procedure many times, you "believe" in your ability to do it again!
    This is why, when Jesus heard his disciples had failed to heal this boy, his frustration with them had nothing to do with their inability to make themselves think something miraculous would happen by, somehow, pushing away every doubt from their minds...but that they were lacking the sort of confidence they should have by then, confidence based on knowing what to do and that, because they had successfully done it so many times before (maybe because Jesus was standing there looking on), they should have been able to do it again, even though Jesus was off doing something else at the time!
    Tragically, the translators of the bible often render the original words of the Bible with ones that help false preachers and teachers perpetuate their false views, and such is the case with PISTEUO. After all, they couldn't very well get so many people to set aside their reason, abandon Science, and stop using the brains God gave them, were they to tell their church members to rely on SOLID EVIDENCE for whatever they're to regard as true!
    No, it's only when they can connive or frighten them into blind belief, they can then get control of the minds of others, and from there, use and abuse them to accomplish their ulterior agenda!

    Existence deals with what? I would say the present. The Lord is past present and future. Faith deals with the future in certainty of what is to come and conviction on what is.

    • @sampsonsorzano7436
      @sampsonsorzano7436 3 года назад

      Error God is not past or present or future because God is uncreated and doesn't exist in the realm of time because time is creation and God was there before all creation. And the faith is not uncertainty faith is the substance or evidence this is what you hope or look forward to it is what is in the evidence faith is not blind
