"FAITH", WHAT IS IT? IS "FAITH" BLIND?









"FAITH", what is it? Is Faith Blind?


Christian Faith is the confident belief or trust in the truth or trustworthiness of Jesus Christ, concept[1][2] The English word is thought to date from 1200–50, from the Latin fidem or fidēs, meaning trust, derived from the verb fīdere, to trust.[1] or thing.
The term is employed in a religious or theological context to refer to a confident belief in a transcendent reality, a religious teacher, a set of teachings or a Supreme Being. It may be used to refer to a particular religious tradition or to religion in general.
Since faith implies a trusting reliance upon future events or outcomes, it is often taken by some people as inevitably synonymous with a belief "not resting on logical proof or material evidence."[3][4]
Faith is in general the persuasion of the mind that a certain statement is true,[5] belief in and assent to the truth of what is declared by another, based on his or her supposed authority and truthfulness.[6] Informal usage can be quite broad, and the word is often used as a mere substitute for trust or belief'.


 Christian Faith Defined: We Read In The Book Of Hebrews...

Hebrews 10:23, 11:1-3, 37-40 (King James Version)

10:23Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)


 11:1Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

 2For by it the elders obtained a good report.
 3Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. 
 37They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented;
 38(Of whom the world was not worthy:) they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.
 39And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise:
 40God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.

Is Christian Faith Blind? No! Our Faith Stands In Gods Truth,"Our Lord Says....We Read...

1 Thessalonians 5:21


 21Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.
Now Grow..... Read.....2 Peter 3:18,
But grow in grace, and [in] the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him [be] glory both now and for ever. Amen.
