Re: Have we misunderstood what is faith?
Hey nwr,
With all due respect... what you're saying seems totally backwards to me. You can't be wrong about faith. Faith is a behavior, an internal state, a reality.
Maybe you can ask if we're using the word "faith" to mean something that doesn't fit with previous or alternate definitions. But to say that we misunderstand faith itself... that has nothing to do with words, but rather how we conceptualize what it is we do.
Are you suggesting that faith, in the manner described here, doesn't exist? Or are you just suggesting that the label we have applied to an existing behavior or concept is the wrong one?
Maybe you're trying to be poetic or artistic, and I'm totally missing it. But ...
Ben
