What is faith as in the Bible?

I heard an old guy named Dr. Eno preach on faith one time.  One of those guys who have been around so long and was pretty wise. He summed is up this way:  "Faith is believing God."\n\nI've always remembered that and I've always found it to fit.

well, faith is all about being able to believe in something without physical proof of it existing. logically, that doesnt make sense. but, thats what faith is about. anyone can have faith in something when its right in front of you with the answers spelled out. but to be realistic, the bible doesnt explain everything. and it contradicts what we know is scientifically proven. but thats just it, you've independantly thought about this, and questioned it, you obviously werent brainwashed into anything. and if you want to believe in it, it sounds like you're ready. if you decide not to, thats cool too. i can understand that.\n\nto me, faith is about saying "i believe theres more to existence than what we understand right now".

just being able to wake up every morning and know that i have God in my heart to help me make it through every day is the best news i hear. i can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. Phil 4:13\n\nwhen you step out of the known light, into the unknown darkness, FAITH is knowing that one of 2 things will happen. you will be given something solid to stand on, or you will be taught to fly.\n\nWe are not human beings going through a temporary spiritual experience. \nWe are spiritual beings going through a temporary human experience..

Faith is personal and, it does not rely upon any dogmata and scriptures.  When you bleed, you know that you are bleeding.  Same with faith, it is in the knowing of it is there.  People do backup their faith with scriptures but, the latter reinforce the former and not the vice versa.

There is no "proof" of God. Do you know the definition of FAITH?

You were bought with a price. You are not your own. Hell was for the Devil and his angels. According to the book of Jude they are reserved in chains. Just remember that once it has been seen then there is no longer faith. At the revelation its all over. Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. Can you see? God will not lose one. Jesus said I have lost none but the one that was meant to be lost.

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!!!

Anybody who argues over religion obviously has no concept of the word "faith".  Faith isn't about arguing about anything.  It's about being positive and doing good and helping others to see the goodness in themselves.\n\nReligions, for the most part, are man-made rules and regulations based on THEIR OWN interpretation of the Bible and it's guidelines for living.  \n\nReligions don't set themselves above anyone else.  People do.

Well, the Bible says:\nTherefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: \nSo there you have it.

Romans 12:3 says that God has given everyone a "measure of faith," implying that it is an equal amount of faith given to each person.  You and I both have faith, but it is placed in different things.  An example; when you go to start your car, do you perform a complete PMCS (preventive maintenace check and service) before you start it each time?  Of course not!  You have faith it will start.  That's not blind faith because you know (probably) how well the car is maintained.  When I believe in God, it isn't blind faith either.  I know what He's done to take care of me.  Faith merely acknowleges that.

Faith is not right or wrong. It just addresses all of the I don't knows with a certain mental perspective. Ppl need to be able to believe no matter what the circumstances. It's only by faith that anything becomes possible.\n\nBelieveing in things that for the most parthave been proven wrong is just denial.

I walk in the faith that the Bible is a load of codswallup. Especially concerning the parlor tricks of the New Testiment. 1Peter 2-24 included.\n\n-SD-

Faith has come, and the church of God (1 Cor.10:32) are justified by it.  We are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus (Gal.3:23-26 below).\n\nThere is a “new covenant” (Heb.10:16-17, Jer 31:33) brought forth by one sacrifice, the blood of Christ Jesus (Eph.2:13, Heb.13:12), that writes the law in the hearts of Jews and Gentiles in Christ (fellowheirs and of the same living body - Eph.3:6, Col.1:24).\n\nThe “new covenant” brings us to the strait gate and the narrow way which few people find (Matt.7:14 below), which is to live by FAITH.\n\n\nGAL.3:23But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.\n\nGAL.3:24Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.\n\nGAL.3:25But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster (Gal.3:24 above, Mal.4:4).\n\nGAL.3:26For ye are all the children of God by faith (Gal.3:25 above) in Christ Jesus.\n\nMatt.7:14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.\n\n\n\nPat (ndbpsa ©)

That's why it's called faith.
