Unfortunately, many people who trumpet about "faith" have no idea what faith is.
quote:
Heb 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Faith is the substance of things
hoped for, things that have not happened yet. When something
does happen - i.e. there is evidence that it happened - then faith becomes obsolete.
Faith is not an excuse for hand-waving away what
has happened or has
not happened (e.g. the "flood").
Faith is the evidence of things
not seen. It's a backup plan. If you don't see it yet, you can still have faith that it will happen.
Faith is not closing your eyes and saying, "I do, I do, I do believe in spooks!" when you know bloody well there are no spooks.
Faith is not a virtue. It's just the best we can do in some circumstances.
