Maybe not, but let's see if we can raise it from the dead.
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Substance is from the Greek hupostasis: setting under or essence, assurance, confidence.
Good point. Faith refers to "assurance" or "confidence" - not at all to what we, in modern English, would call
"substance".
quote:
1. that of which a thing consists; physical matter or material: form and substance.
2. a species of matter of definite chemical composition: a chalky substance.
Too many Christians put faith on the same level as evidence.
Welcome to EvC. You'll find a lot of discussion here about the kind of rubbish your website is full of.
