An example of that trust is given in the Bible, that of Abraham, a state of reliance on Jehovah God that has influenced the whole world of humans. In Romans 4:20-21 (New Testament) the Apostle Paul writes that Abraham was fully persuaded that God was able to bring about whatever He promised, so evidently seen in the willingness of Abraham to sacrifice his own son Isaac as commanded by God, in blood-shedding way, tht Jehovah would bring that son back to life with no harm done, to fulfill all the other promises for Isaac’s generations yet to happen.
Another equally meaningful is convincement or conviction as applied to the action of the Holy Spirit to convict a human condemned sinner of one’s sin, of God’s existence and righteousness, and of eternal judgment that most certainly will affect one’s future (John 14-16).
What then about the fantastical relm of Disney’s Mickey Mouse? Or the Allah of Mohammed’s imaginative creation of the same calibre as Mickey? Or the Christs of the invention of heretics misleading their followers into a false “christanity”? The kinds that became the religious organs of the state, the kind that migrants from Eurpe or Asia to the Americas sought to scape? The ones of the same kind as the Biblical Jesus (see the scripture of 2 Corinthians 11:3-4); or christs of a different kind, like those claimed in more recent “visions” that require special optics to read their “scriptures”?
Are these comic narratives, these religions — are they not fantastic, tales generated by con artists to gain the power over gullible other humans?
Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.
