If their belief system is based on the bible, it state's quite clearly in several places that faith is a gift of God, from God, and it is not created by man.(October 15, 2016 at 2:22 pm)Arkilogue Wrote: Nothing is wrong with his faith. Something is wrong with your definition and usage.
Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Proverbs 25:2 It is the glory of God to conceal a matter: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.
Faith is not substantive, or evidence. Otherwise we'd have to believe that every god of every actiuve religion exists, because people today have faith in them. Or their interpretation of them.
