would you agree that if what the bible says about faith is true, i.e., that it is a necessary element in your salvation, that you are NOT saved?

Saved from what?

Asking for proof is not denying God. Thomas doubted and he wasn't condemned for it. So far I have been told by ordinary human beings that the Bible is true. Why should I believe them?

I think that response pretty much answers the question.

Thanks.

It would be different if Thomas had remained in doubt.

But Thomas eventually believed.

So Marlowe's question is important. If you never believe, what does that say about your salvation?

You will never* get the proof you are asking for. I suspect you already know that though. God is the way He is even if YOU don't understand.

*At least while you are alive.
