Faith is a highly taught subject but yet it appears we live in a faithless and perverse generation so this makes me ask: What's the difference between living by faith and living by sight? Explain with practical examples just so that even new converts can understand!

For some, seeing is believing... for others, believing is seeing.

If u remember this song...
# I am not moved by what I see... hallelujahhhh,
only the word of God that can move my feet ..hallelujah

Living by faith is when u dare to believe dat every circumstance in ur life would work out in ur favour because God is on ur side, and then living ur life accordingly...

Living by sight is when u believe only in what ur physical senses can experience or ur reasoning faculty can conjure, and thus living ur life in perpetual response to stimuli...

...but many have believed that every circumstance in their life would work out in favor by God but yet they suffer very terrible events and this makes them ask if God is real and has produced many athiests!

could faith also bring disaster and calamity!?

It is not enuff to believe. One must prove belief by ACTING in accordance wit those beliefs. And by acting I'm talking about, thot actions(positive mindset/ planning and goal setting), word actions(prayers and declarations), and of cos physical actions(making moves and following thru on the plan).
A true man of faith also knows dat patience and perseverance are quality virtues, cos nothing great comes easy. Eventually tho, genuine faith ALWAYS moves mountains!

Heb 11:33-38

Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens. Women received their dead raised to life again: and [size=15] others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection: And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment: They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented; (Of whom the world was not worthy: ) they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.

How would you explain the emphasized in the light of faith!

If you want to live by faith why not close both eyes and cross the road everyday?

Now that's the thing! Faith is not necesarily the failure to use the senses.

king Amaziah, went for a battle and conquered the people he went against but oddly enough he took the gods of the people he conquered and worshipped them and the Lord God told king Amaziah:

[b] 2Chronicles 25:15...Why hast thou sought after the gods of the people, which could not deliver their own people out of thine hand?

This was a clear case of God saying: why can't you use your head

That's why i'm probing, scripturally the concept of FAITH...Faith clearly is not an excuse to be so mo.ro.nic that one can't use one's head!

doesn't the bible define it for you in Hebrews as "hope" in things not seen?

So why not have hope that by closing your eyes and neglecting traffic you can arrive safely to your destination everyday...
