Is it really that simple? What about people of other religions who have faith in God, but no faith in the New Testament? I expect you really want us to have faith in the Bible and faith in your interpretation of it.
Do you have faith in unicorns? - mentioned many times in the Bible. Do you have faith in fairies? If not, then we can call you faithless, too.
I'll stick to my interpretation, the 'faith' means the same as 'no evidence', and put it along with voodoo, theosophy, scientology, witches, hobgoblins, and ghosts. Some of these things are fascinating, but to base ones life on them seems ridiculous.
If you want to preach love, I am all for it, but leave behind all the baggage that comes with it in the Christian religion. But better than preaching, just practice it.
Mike.
