ergo. But faith is a gift from God, so lack of it is not my fault.

demothologization, what miracles have we denied? We all believe every miracle of His recorded in scripture.

Yes Faith is a gift,but its not just a matter of just simply believing in God.
As the Apostle Saint James says...
"Even the demons believe in God,the demons believe God is one and they shutter"
Faith is never a matter of doing your OWN thing,its a matter of doing God,s thing,thus faith demands obedience to God even under persecution if that is what God has willed for us,although we might nor understand it at the time,its a matter of completely denying ourselves and trusting in Him.
