I don’t think so. The only context we discussed that had to do with a belief being dependent on something external, was my example of the resurrection. I only used that because you weren’t satisfied with my original answer, right? That’s not what we or the others on this thread are really talking about, is it?

What about the belief that sins are forgiven? What would be the object in that case?

“What about the belief that sins are forgiven? What would be the object in that case?”

In this example the object is the physical event—the bodily resurrection of Christ.

This event is evidence providing answers to all the important questions: the existence of God; the divinity of Christ; the reliability of our trust in God; the truth of the Gospel—that Jesus Christ paid the price for all sin and that he is truly our representative before God, the Person who bridges that spiritual divide between God and man that we find documented throughout the Bible and that we witness again and again in our daily lives in July of 2012.
