Everything is taken on faith except things that directly effected you and or involved you. That is why faith is such a great thing in the Christian faith. It's about what YOU have faith in. Do you have faith in we're just accidentally here? Do you have faith in that we have purpose? ect ect. Everything planned for the future is in faith. You have faith it will be possible to do your future events. The knowledge they teach you in school and or other places, you put faith in that they are true and not lies, ect ect.



Cowboy I'm never claim that I know if we are accidently here of not and I'm not making up assumptions or farie Tales about how we got here.....so why would I need faith ...so is that why you need faith?

It existed before in the book, because if it hadn't existed it wouldn't have been in the book. Not saying all things that are in books are true, but nevertheless it is true that E=MC2 even before it existed in a book. Books are merely a gathering of information, just because something is or isn't in a book doesn't make it true or untrue. A book again is merely a collection of information.

Examples:

Dictionary - information on the meaning of words
Bible - information on the knowledge we have of God our father who art in heaven
ect ect

Books just make it easier to spread knowledge to multiple people in multiple area's of the world. Much more sufficient then word of mouth. Keeps things more accurate as well.


Cowboy I asked how do you know that "In The Beginning There Was The Word" Existed before there were books


Because I know that history existed before they were in books, I know molecules existed before they were in books, I know EVERYTHING exists before they are in books. Things put in books are merely findings of someone(s). But that doesn't mean those findings didn't exist before that person(s) found them. Only means we had no knowledge of that till that person(s) found them.

Which ever way you believe we came into existence, that knowledge is accepted on faith that they are true. You are putting faith that this belief is true.

no proof other than what historical references, much like most of what I learned in school of ANY history

so, I rely on faith for 85 percent of my knowledge of the world,,,faith in those teaching me..that they are honest in what they teach


but you claim that "In The Beginning There Were The Word" existed before it was written in the book ...so what evidence other than faith do you have that this is true ....name the source

simply the knowledge that we cant experience what isnt there, if someone wrote about it, than it had to EXIST for them to write about, unless they are lying, in which case I have faith in the honesty of the authors of the bible just like I have faith in the honesty of the authors of science,,,

MsHarmony...you were the one that claim that you had faith in the documentation, I simply asked you what documentation you were referring to having faith in....and of course being a Christian the only thing you could have said was The Bible ....

and that my friend is why is why all you know about God is what the character God reveals to you in the bible, thereby giving credence to the phrase

this you know
for the bible tells you so

All anyone's knowledge they have, unless they have achieved this knowledge from first person experience takes it on faith that it is true. For instance, outside this world is nothing but a bunch of "space", some other planets, comets, and a few other things out there. How do you know this is absolutely true? Do you not put faith in that Scientists are telling the truth? Do you not put faith in that the pictures we do have are legitimate? What do you know? What do you know for SURE? What do you know that can be proven about the beginning of all life without a doubt? What do you know about the creation of the Earth without a doubt? Not even scientists do. That is why it's called THEORY of creation, THEORY of evolution, ect. A theory is nothing more then an educated guess. A few things in a theory is absolutely true, the rest of the theory is just taken on assumption and .... wait for it.... guessing.

Cowboy..find a post where I claim anything about believing in the theory of evolution of any of those things that you named....

believers are under the delusion that just because you don't have faith, religion, spirituality that you therefore must believe in The Theory of Evolution...Creation is nothing more than a religious version of The Big Bang Theory

by you claiming that I must believe in something you therefore are trying to force your delusion of faith upon me...and this is where religion stem from people trying to turn their delusions into reality for others

Faith is nothing more than the act of deluding oneself..you claim faith because they have doubt in that which you have faith in, but what you are actually trying to do is delude yourself that what you have faith is truth

it's impossible to believe anything without doubt ...

"to believe is to doubt"......funches 3:16

and this can be proved indisputably

Never claimed you believe in the theory of creation or anything. I don't generally talk you directly in here, this is a forum for all of mingle users. My posts are for everyone, not directed at you specifically.

I said no such thing. You always act like someone's trying to convert another and or change another's views. This is a forum for DISCUSSION. Just purely enlightened discussion about one's beliefs. If someone wishes to believe as such or not, is totally up to them. No one will, can, or is trying to change another person's spiritual views in here.


Faith is nothing more than the act of deluding oneself..you claim faith because they have doubt in that which you have faith in, but what you are actually trying to do is delude yourself that what you have faith is truth


And this was one of the reasonings I mentioned the theory of evolution and the theory of creation. Was an example to show that most everything in this world is believed on faith. Not just things associated with religion. Sorry to hear you delude yourself with thinking you'll eat tomorrow, I truly am. Or even deluding yourself that you'll make it through the day. My condolences.

"to believe is to doubt"......funches 3:16


It isn't impossible to believe in something without doubt. Sorry again to hear you live your life in doubt. Why would someone believe in it, if they have doubts about it? What would be the purpose of believing in such if you didn't believe in it in the first place. What you said there is that people appear believe in a God, to purely save themselves because they are insecure about their beliefs. They don't truly believe in the belief they have, but put it up as a protection blanket or something. That's not the way it works my friend. People believe as they believe, if they have doubts I would strongly suggest finding a different view.

Cowboy..if you claim that you don't talk to anyone specifically...then here's a word of advice...don't use the quote option to place their post into your post.....

because if you do...they may become under the delusion that you are talking specifically to them
