Hosepipe that is not faith as the bible defines it.


The bible does not define faith..
An apostle or two did make mention of it.. according to them.. other bible lore writers didn’t..
but thats their opinion..

I accept you are who you imply you might be by faith..
Which is an honest correspondent here..

Many scientists accept, what they think they know, by faith in another scientists findings..
Sometimes with proof sometimes not.. but just a theory..
You know... by faith..

Oh I beg to differ. The Bible defines faith as “the substance of that which is hoped for” and “the evidence of things not seen”. It also says we should walk by faith and not by sight. I think that is pretty clearly a definition. The first definition clearly says that faith is a wish. The second very clearly and unequivocally says that belief itself is evidence. The third tells us that our beliefs are more real than the information brought to us by our senses. That is pure and unadulterated Subjectivism.
