Real faith requires patience , ask Abraham , Joseph etc

Yeah, Abraham had patience otherwise he would've killed Isaac before the Pathetic voice in his head told him to use the animal instead

Joseph had faith that's why he was dumb enough to accept a bastard as a son while believing Mary got pregnant by an invisible deek

when JESUS CHRIST walked on water when he was about to meet his disciples, when one of them was told to come and meet him that he almost sank before JESUS CHRIST held him he was scared at first but he was then held on the hand where by making him walk on water to me that is faith because he knew he had faith in JESUS CHRIST

but Jesus Christ doesn't exist physically anymore, so are you saying faith is impossible these days?

The AIR we breath can be seen but we no that the air passes and also enter our body that is faith.

Religion contradicts our common sense and reason abilities. But people still won't leave it. Why? Family. Support. Community.

Religion can't solve humanity's problems, but honesty observation and acceptance of reality can.

faith is having believe in things hope for but not yet seen
1. complete trust or confidence in someone or something.
2. strong belief in the doctrines of a religion, based on spiritual conviction rather than proof.
Faith means being sure of the things we hope for and knowing that something is real even if we do not see it.

but you called the below a rubbish

If God was real he wouldn't require faith his existence would be fact, we only have faith in things that have no backing, no none has faith in the sun.
Faith disproves God

how then doesn't it fit into your definition?

Please, FAITH and TRUST are not the same thing; one is above the other. Anyway, it was a good article.
Re: Why Does God Requires Faith by LastProphet: 9:13am On Jan 22, 2017
hopefulLandlord:
hmmm

Faith is not that necessary

The story of the man at the beautiful gate shows this



as we can see the man had no faith about being healed only wanted money and it should be pointed out that he asked Peter like he asks every passer by

anyways Christianity is one contradictory bullsheeet that's why we have over 3000 Christian denominations, leaders of each denomination claim to have a personal relationship with the Holy Spirit and say they're telling the truth even calling other denominations as doomed while backing up his claim with verses in the same bible

each one claims to talk to the holy spirit but they never seem to agree on what that holy spirit wants

its all makebelieve


hahahahaha, impressed

If you're a believer, you already have faith, all you need do is learn how to make it work.

"The same Reason I'm reading this Yeye Thread of yours". Yeyeman, I could have ignored neither reading nor posting on it, but I have Faith in you and that you're a Creature yourself.

You don't need to struggle Bro. God understands our weaknesses. Just believe in him like a little child completely trusts in his parents. Work hard in your daily affairs and leave the rest for him.
He told us somewhere in the Bible that we don't have to worry about anything. Do your best and leave the rest for him; he's more than capable. I'm saying this from first-hand experience.
Re: Why Does God Requires Faith by BIGDADDY000(m): 9:53am On Jan 22, 2017

If you don't have faith, God can't hear you, you can't receive anything from God......
In practice, I don't think this is true.

Because it is all a scam. Your god has no evidence of existence....simple.

You guys should read some Robert Ingersoll please. Don't be fooled.
That why God said you need faith before you can believe in his existence and not theory or based on what you can see. you only need to exercise faith( what you can see) to know him

Re: Why Does God Requires Faith by sonmvayina(m): 2:11pm On Jan 22, 2017
Faith is just a fancy word for 'i dont know if i am right but its ok...what is the mechanism for knowing that the god you have faith in is the real...since god is spirit there is a chance that the spirit could be Allah or Eledumare or chineke...
what really amazes me is the story we have told or built around this spirit...An entity or idea that does noy talk or speaak, how did we know what it likes or hateor its name
Re: Why Does God Requires Faith by Nobody: 2:50pm On Jan 22, 2017
Faith is Something In which this whole world Exist.
And I know only a Basic Principle as a Christian Everything is Possible Only Believe.
Thanks and Amen.

I am not judging you here but it is just my perception. If you say you are finding it difficult to have faith in Him, I will say it means you are still analyzing the situation with your brain. Only if you can attain that extent that you will say"come what may, I remain to trust Him completely."
Re: Why Does God Requires Faith by Lex11(m): 8:41pm On Jan 22, 2017
Why ask why? GOD, The Sovereign King Eternal righteously requires it... that is enough.

"But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him." - Hebrews 11:6

"Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need" - Hebrews 4:16

(Read the entire Hebrews 11 chapter for more).

"Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed." - John 20:29
