Some Christians define “Faith” as believe in something that can not be proven.\nSince there is no proof, why believe in Jesus. We can as well believe in Santa Claus, or in MuHamMad, or in Krishna, or in Zeus, or Googa Booga, or in Witzly Pitzly, or in Osiers. They are all utterly illogical to everyone  except for their respective believers.

You first have to believe that you are sinner!

Jesus told us very clearly about God, and that he is REAL, many people question Jesus as the son of God, but all those miracles he performed were to prove it. so, as he is telling the truth, there is a God. You need faith.

The only evidence you have is "FAITH". You either believe it or you don't. If you believe it, God will move inside you and He will give you the evidence for your faith. If you don't believe, there is absolutely no evidence that can be brought before your eyes not even if you live from here to eternity.

I'm a believer. \n\nTypicially positive feeling and attitudes lead one to faith.  Faith is not just something you have or don't, it's a judgement thing that can go up and down in gradients.   Faith is measure of ones beliefs, that can be attributed toward anything really.  Faith that the sun will rise each day, faith that there will be food on your table each day, faith that you'll be able to keep your job, faith that you will stay married.  Take away faith and you have a sad person.\n\nIn many respects Religions to non believers can at least be seen as man's attempt to document attitudes and processes that are good for society. The more faith you have in your Religion and the things it accomplishes to this goal, the more you might become a true believer.  There are more things in this world than we will ever truely understand...  anyone that thinks otherwise is lying to you and themselves.\n\nPersonally I believe in Jesus' teachings, to me he was truely the best person ever on earth with the best beliefs.  Someone to believe in.

This is a point I try to drive home in Christians all the time.  Abraham, Moses, Ezekiel, and the like supposedly talked directly to God.  Did these men have faith?  No.  They had proof.  But they told everybody else to have faith.  Why?  Well, I think it's rather obvious.  Who the hell would believe them otherwise?\n\nAnd this is the problem with Christian "faith".  Christians say "God tells us to have faith".  Did God tell you to have faith, or did a man tell you to have faith?  A MAN TOLD YOU TO HAVE FAITH!  To be specific, a con-man told you to have faith.  Unless God has appeared before you and told you "Have faith in me", then you are placing your faith in the words of a man.\n\nLet me say that one more time, for those that skipped over it.  Unless God appeared before you and told you, "Have faith in me", then you are placing your faith in the words of a MAN.\n\nWake up.  Think logically.  Be rational.  Apply the same amount of scrutiny to your religion as you would to anything else in life.  No one ever does this, because they've been told all their lives that religion is the truth, and to doubt that is a sin.\n\nDo you not see that this is an elegantly designed snow job?!  This is how religion has survived all this time.  It is designed, from bottom to top, to keep its followers blind!  Open your eyes.  You're smarter than this!\n\nEdit - For those saying these men were prophets... who told you they were prophets?  THEY DID!!!!!! AGHHHHH!!!

I like the spirit of your philosophy, but as to the exact wording, it seems backwards to me. Try this: We don't know how, but faith allows us to know that everything is going to work out, somehow. Faith is a way of knowing, we can not know everything, but we can understand almost everything if we know the subject matter. More and more facts are coming to light for us everyday that we live if we live in faith, with one small exception. Death always catches us flatfooted. Unless, we are very old and or very wise and courious, and ready to find out.

GREAT question!\nfirst of all, to say 'blind faith' is redundant. thats like saying 'liquid water'.    :o)\n\nthe point:\nfaith is believing something without justification. simple.\nlets not confuse reason with justification.\ni could have a thousand reasons to believe that im rich. this belief would only be justified if i have money in my bank account.\n\nim also sorry youre having trouble for asking a very intelligent question... makes me sad.

It's called faith.  We believe in what can not be explained.

How much faith do you need to not believe there's an invisible unicorn in your backyard? You can't prove that there isn't. You can only believe that there isn't. An atheists disbelieves in God as much as you disbelieve in magical gnomes in your dresser. They can't be disproved, they're magical, but as a rational person you decide that there are no gnomes in your dresser, but there is a possibility that there are because you cannot monitor your dresser every day all the time. A religious person definitely has more faith than an atheist.

Evidence is not for those without faith. When someone chooses not to believe, there is no study, experiment, or proof that will convince them otherwise. They will always find a way to rationalize the evidence you present to them. Faith is a gift from God to the Believer, and does not come from OURSELVES.  You either Believe God's supernatural power, and the benefit of prayer, or you don't.

You can't because Faith is believing that in God's revealed word and trusting Him without outside influence. (However I could point you to some facts not listed in scripture that support the Bible, and also aren't the values in the Bible good, before some guy rattled off all these really great values, but they are nothing with JESUS.\nGive a specific question I will answer it specifically, email me.

Sometimes to see you have to believe first and at other times you have to see to believe.  I think just like everything else, both have their place in life.  I also think that's it's up to each individual when these principals are applicable.  Why do many believe who don't have proof, but depend on heresay?  Well, I believe (as I see it in people over and over again, including myself) that each of us are born with the spirit to know and understand God/Jesus and divine purpose.  When this proclivity is not correctly harvested and harnessed, we go with what "sounds" right or makes "sense".  I read somewhere, "if you don't believe in something, you'll fall for anything."  This is probably what you're referring to.  I don't know......

Faith.  Believing even when you do not physically see it in front of you.  \n\nI have seen many miracles.  I do believe in God.  He has told messages to people to record and translate.  The BIBLE, should be valued and loved.  I will someday see God face to face.

That is an interesting question dannythegr8, and you got me thinking.\n\nLet's start here...\nEphesians 2:8\nFor by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God.\n\nJesus told the parable of the mustard seed, though it is the smallest of all seeds, if you have that much faith, you could move a mountain. So really, faith can be just a speck, but God will honor it. If you have zero faith, you will not pray at all. If you have a speck of faith, you can pray like the man who's son was possessed.\n\nMark 9:24\nImmediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!”\n\nAnd God will meet you where you are at.

Having faith means you believe that life, truth, and goodness will have the last word. Not only *can* you rely on that in your day to day life, you *have* to. Why else would you be living? So you and the people you love can end up as worm food? So the whole planet will be swallowed by the sun in a few billion years? If faith isn't true, there is no truth and no meaning. Without faith, my life would be a charade. But with faith, the smallest gesture can be full of meaning.

It's all about faith. In fact, every religion requires faith. And when a person accepts Christ, God looks at "the faith." People aren't supposed to understand the mind of God. We weren't meant too.\n\nInstead, we're supposed to trust Him no matter what. For myself, I'd rather live for something worth dying for, rather than living for nothing at all. \n\nThough it may seem hard to believe something without physical evidence, a man must wait upon the Lord for renewed strength and a new vision to see the light.
