Why is faith important?

[ronedee]

"Anything man is involved in is tainted and a lie."

Anymore observations?

Since the abrahamic god is also something that man is involved in, wouldn't that technically make it tainted and a lie as well?

To be serious for a moment though, the fact that humanity has flaws is no grounds for taking anything on faith. I fail to see the connection between the two.
If anything, faith is one of the examples of man's flaws. You made a circular argument in your first message on this thread, saying that with truth comes faith, but in earlier threads you've asserted that you come to the truth by faith. Truth by faith, and faith by the truth. That's circular reasoning and a logical fallacy.

I also said YMMV! It can be interchangable. I didn't write rules!

As far as the "OT" is concerned? I like the stories. The Gospel is the NEW and updtaed edition!

Man is flawed. You cannot trust what man thinks. You can only trust what the holy spirit tells you.

And how does the Holy Spirit tell you? Unless you are like the Son of Sam where you are hearing voices to tell you to do things, then you are really only hearing your own inclinations in your head. Or you are hearing the voices of people you trust in your head that are being reinterpreted.

Unless you really believe that you have a special power that is unique, which is to have spirits speak to you in your waking hours that tell you true things. With no one to validate that they are coming from anything but yourself, which is elevating yourself as God, and serving yourself, and considering your own thoughts as God's.

That isn't faith. But there is a psychological term for it.

Here let me help you: When one thinks about things important, one deduces and even gets answers sometimes.

Make sure you do this before walking across a busy street!
