Your assumption is that I place faith in everything, I have faith in God only.

I dare not trust the sweetest frame

No, that wasn't what I assumed if you read my question properly. I asked, assuming (well hoping really... for your sake) that it wasn't the case that you put blind faith in everything, what was your criteria for deciding which claims to apply blind faith to in life? You've here said you only have that sort faith in God... fair enough... but the question was how did you arrive at that decision? To place blind faith in that particular claim over any other? I mean, if the definition of blind faith is that it is based on no evidence, then something else must make you choose to apply blind faith to one claim over another, in this case the god claim.
In my case I can't really say it's "blind faith", I've seen evidence, works should follow faith; faith without works is dead.
1 Corinthians 2:4-5 Wrote:And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
1 Corinthians 14:23-25 Wrote:If therefore the whole church be come together into one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in those that are unlearned, or unbelievers, will they not say that ye are mad? But if all prophesy, and there come in one that believeth not, or one unlearned, he is convinced of all, he is judged of all: And thus are the secrets of his heart made manifest; and so falling down on his face he will worship God, and report that God is in you of a truth.
What Paul is saying here is, speaking in tongues is fine and all, but it's craziness to the unbeliever, BUT if they prophesy and reveal the secrets of the heart, then the power of God is undeniable.
For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. - Hebrews 4:12
I posted this video a while back, of a woman who had the experience Paul was speaking of:
Now you may choose to just dismiss her testimony out of hand, but the thing is, something like 1700 sermons from William Branham were recorded and this woman's testimony is corroborated by and audio recording from June 13, 1968.
I made video clip from another recording which is a little longer in which he sort of explains how faith works, make sure you turn on the subtitles because due to his 7th grade education his grammar isn't the best, and the audio quality isn't very good either.

Have fun. Hey, guess what, just checked again. Going on three days now and you're still full of shit. My patience isn't endless, I want this promised ability and I'm a little disappointed that you haven't managed to grant it to me with 72 hours of positively brilliant argumentation.
What's the point in providing a link to the beginning of the thread?

He seems to think that he can argue an ability into existence, that I do not have.. that he claimed -I- did...specifically. I don't feel like reposting his trash, but that's how this -all- began, a few pages ago, lol.
Still waiting on that link...
