Requiring proof of the miraculous robs the faithful of an opportunity to prove themselves to God.
Amazing how you can change the context of the question simply by changing the case of one letter. Imagine the fundamentals of science getting turned on its head through new discovery as incidental as shifting the case of one letter. Such is the evolution of science.
Whether through Faith or faith, most exist in the comfort of beliefs that do not fail them. That doesn’t mean, however, their beliefs are true. As such, a true scientist in his journey should forever be the skeptic of his own beliefs and keep an open mind to the Faith and faith of others.
>>Faith is excepting as true something that can not be proved.<<
Do you claim that everything you believe can be proved? I believe that I am self-aware, that murder is wrong, and that I love my wife. You can either accept those beliefs as true, false, or say you don’t know, but I cannot prove it.
You either accept “We hold these truths to be self evident...” or you don’t.
Faith is defined in Hebrews 11. It has nothing to do with “believing the unbelievable.” And faith “that can not be proved” is completly opposite to the faith described in Scipture.
Faith is hearing from God, and living your life based on what He said/says, even though AT THAT MOMENT, you cannot independently verify the objective reality of what He is saying. Faith is demonstrating trust without violating reason. The result of faith is the reward of receiving what God said He will do/give as a result of trusting in Him. Much of this “proof” occurs on a daily basis, like when Peter walked on the water, or an individual is healed from an incurable disease (happens all the time). And much occurs in eternity.
People who have biblical faith have heard the voice of God and are acting on what they have heard “because they consider Him faithful who promised.”
Any other kind of “faith” is not biblical.
