Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Substance and evidence are not made by man's belief, It is either there or not there.
Ephesians 2:8: "For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God"
Again, "not of yourselves" aka not man made belief.
You;re not speaking to a person who puts any stock into the bible, or the trendy catchlines of modern christian reconstructionism. Magic book also defines bats as birds. I think that you should leave it to webster.
And that in my use of the word, I mean the substance and evidence of things invisible to the eye.
That is all.
