What makes your faith true?

[Wyrd of Gawd]

The Bible gives clear criteria for demonstrating that your faith is true.  Simply walk outside and tell the nearest tree to uproot itself and to jump into the nearest body of water. If it does as you have commanded it to do then your faith is true.  Otherwise it's not.

Here's a clear example of a person who has no idea what the scriptures teach and one who desperately needs to study them.

Well I'm going to try to be a perfect gentleman in this topic, so even other religious people can feel relaxed and participate.

Interesting. Thanks for running with me on that. Okay, does it bother you that you'd do that? I mean does it disturb you that you'd be the kind of person that would do something you know is wrong just because God told you to do so?

You misunderstood and after I posted I thought it might appear as if I had answered your question, sorry. The statement was not intended as an answer to your question.
Let me give you a hint, compare the OT to the NT and you will see your question has no relevance.

Thanks for calling him out, GC. I have a difficult time understanding some AF members.

Hi ChadWooters, I hadn't realized you changed your name. I'm tired of the things that happen here on occasion and felt like a little vent might help. I don't mean to be disrespectful to anyone though I'm sure it seems that way at times. I would have rather answered FM's question but I was mindful of the past with others and decided not to chance the possibility of the same old thing.

My faith, true? A level and plum bob. I can't afford those laser thingies.

All you need is a string and a heavy washer to make a plumb bob and a piece of clear flexible tubing and water will make an acceptable level. No need for the fancy stuff.

Are you, a self-professed believer, calling Jesus a liar?  

Luke 17:6 (TLB) = "The Lord replied, “If you had faith the size of a mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you."

You have zero faith, just like all of the other billions of people had zero faith for the past 2,000 years.  Jesus is sad.
