#1 Trust
#2 Believing God can fulfill his promises is foundational to christian belief. “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved” ect
#3 We are people like anyone else, and we often behave foolishly.
Faith joined us with God.
Christian faith is superior to others because we put our trust in the true only living God.
1. Faith is a requirement for salvation. Without it, you’re condemned.
2.faith that he raised from the dead I’d the cornerstone of this religion. If he didn’t rise, it would all be vanity.
3. Because we’re people like anyone else and we fall short of the glory of God.
It’s not mockery my brother.
Faith comes from Greek word
πιστις (pistis) – believe and trust
It is important to Christianity because without faith it won’t exist in the first place
Because Christian Faith depends on believing who Jesus is and trust him
Um let’s see, cause they are damming,,lies.
Atheists always mock Christians for having faith saying it is belief without evidence but believing in atheism and that everything spontaneously came out of nothing takes a greater faith.
We all live by faith. All we do is by faith. Two examples. When you go to restaurant, before you sit on a chair, do you examine that chair first ?? How it’s screwed, if it assembled properly etc. or you just sit by faith that this chair would hold you ?? When you drive your car going up hill and approaching horizon, do you stop and go to look if people driving car on opposite site of horizon stay on their side of the road, or you just keep driving having faith that they will do that ?? Because if you don’t you just keep going by faith !! You could have looked, but you didn’t, because of faith !! That’s faith. To your last question I say “not true” I am a Christian I don’t make fun of other people believes, therefore your claim is false. Some do I admit, but my point is this is absolutely ludicrous question. It’s exactly like this. I see black man be taken to prison and I ask. Why are black people broken the law ?? You see ?? You can’t put whole group of people in one box because of actions of some of them. You have to judge people individually, while asking on reasons of individual actions !!!!!!! We call it racist !! Because it is racist
Hebrews 11:1
In my experience, in practice faith is having greater confidence in a proposition than can be rationally justified.
Some Christians equivocate on this as a tribalistic dig at Atheists.
Faith is important because God is the maker of things seen, and more importantly, things unseen.
Mr Kennedy do you have children?
Faith comes from God as you hear the Word. It is a work of the Holy Spirit to those who truly seek for truth.
When you hear “another word”, you have “another faith”.
The substance of what we believe is whether our faith is true or not. This is where apologetics comes in.
I can assure you that the Christian worldview is the only view that stands empirical adequacy, logical consistency, and experiential relevance.
Hebrews 11:1,6
Faith is important to Christian people because we know that this world existed from nothing. Science proved that ” the world is 94 percent consists of invisible matter which was already told in the Bible thousands of years ago. “Faith is believing and hoping for the things, the assurance of things not seen by the eyes. Just as the universe is mostly made of invisible matter, yet is existing, so is God, invisible from the human eye, but can be proven from the very nature and human beings He created.
Faith in the Biblical God is faith w/o seeing. But, it isn’t a blind faith. Faith is based on experience, and God’s written word. People have a faith in something whether or not they want to admit it. Atheism is a faith for example.
You should be able to answer what faith it. You have faith in a system that has zero evidence. There’s zero evidence in macroevolution in history or even now. Oh wait, that’s blind faith. You’re ok with blind faith?
I’ll give you this much. We don’t believe in blind faith.
“make fun”?
I pity them not in ridicule. Who are they that makes fun?
Rash generalization at best!
We don’t make fun, we rebuke. If you believe or put anything else in Gods place you’re not a christian, you’re a blasphemer and you’re the one mocking God and we won’t allow that
The existence of God is a matter of absolute truth and necessity Logically. Faith is dealing with the future
Faith is the means of connection with that which is unseen. It connects a person with the object of faith.
Why do atheists make fun of Christians? No one has the right to bully, not even Christians. Especially Christians are called by Christ to love your neighbor as yourself. If a “Christian” is bullying, then they aren’t really a Christian.
Why is faith so important? Because without faith there is no pleasing God according to Hebrews
Matthew Kennedy
Good questions All.
What is Faith? def. complete trust or confidence in someone or something.
Why is it so important to Christianity? Because at some point you will have to take a leap of faith against your worldly logic to believe in the Virgin Birth. death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ as the absolute method of GOD’s purpose and salvation which is difficult to do.
Why do Christians make fun of others for having faith in other things than the bible, God and Christianity? Because Christians are still jerks just like everyone else whether they want to admit it or not. Me included.
Faith is trust without knowledge (proof)
Without faith, it is impossible to please God (Hebrews 11:6)
Christians shouldn’t make fun of people who worship other gods, they should pity them and preach the gospel to them.
Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen
It gives the christian perseverance. Knowing that our relationship with God gives us that. Blessed hope that no matter what we may face because Jesus died on the Christ for our sins
Why is an anecdotal question universalized? Who has evidence that Christians make fun of others who have faith in other things?
Matthew..
Faith is the substance of things hoped for, not yet seen.
Faith IS Christianity.
Our Faith Matthew, gets transmuted into righteousness according to God. Because he loves when we trust him. It is a true kinship of creation and creator.
Faith can be intelligent and stalwart tho. Not feeble and blind.
True faith, built on knowledge, tested in the fires of life.
Faith, even unto our deaths.
Faith unto our promised eternal life, hereafter.
Faith is everything. It is our new life as Christians once saved. We need to continue to renew, strengthen and daily check our living Faith of salvation in our King.
He is our King, because he already laid His life down for us if we keep his word.
Matthew.. God doesn’t want to win your heart over with an apparent miracle to your mothers healing. He would rather that feeble faith be detroyed, so you can get real faith in Him. It has to be absolutely rock bottom real. And you may never get to Him until you are truly broken my friend. It may be many years from now.
Matthew, Don’t bother with men’s actions, even tho they be Christian, even tho they be a doctor, it doesn’t matter what any man from anywhere does regarding the true word of God and Gods true intentions expressed from the beginning thousands of yrs ago.
Dig deeper Matthew, research. Discover what substance to this silly word of God there is… Why do we who believe, have no doubt in our word of God and in Him being the one and only true God ever that is?
There must be more than a blind faith, or just willy nilly believing a bunch of fairytale??? Believers like me have checked the substance, checked the weight of evidence that the Bible hangs. You must check it for yourself Matthew or you will never get to the truth. You will stay on the fence in doubt and disillusionment of your own personal experience.
Much love to you brother. You are so close to finally giving the Bible your unbiased attention
Get sincere again if you may have lost any sincerity. Be humble again if the same. You will find truth relevant to your level of sincerity and honesty in researching.
Faith is a gift from God Eph 2:8,God is not mocked ,I trust in God not man
We have access into Gods grace through faith…..
The bible talks about building faith by praying in the spirit
Why do I feel like I joined a group that middle school kids use like google when writing essays on theology??
Read Psalm 2.
Faith is the belief of things unseen. It’s the assurance of things hoped for and the conviction of things unseen (Hebrews 11:1). It’s important to Christianity because we of course weren’t there during the events of the Bible AND we’re not in Heaven currently to prove they happened, it exists, or God exists. Faith is important to Christianity cause it’s the hamster on the wheel that keeps it going. As for the last question, I’m going to say it’s pride, and evil heart and foolishness. Although their Holy text says to act in love, many proclaimed Christians do just the opposite and I’m sure you’ve gotten your fair share of examples in this facebook group ?
Amen. Christians are superior. We should pity them, not hypocretically, but by bearing with them. We can start by praying for them first, then finally approaching them.
No one should make fun of it. If you see someone having fun at another’s expense, you can be sure Christ isn’t there at all.
Everyone has been given a degree of faith. It might be small or weak in some people and unshakeable in others.
Faith is important because without faith, it is impossible to please the Lord.
