(October 9, 2013 at 4:45 pm)Sword of Christ Wrote: Faith back in the day meant to place your trust in something or someone and clearly if you want to accept Jesus or the Church fathers at their word you still have to place your faith in them as credible representatives of the one supreme God. It didn't mean "belief in something without evidence if you're some kind of an idiot" which is the moden day understanding of the word.
If you go back and look I used faith as defined by Paul in you bible
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

And then is heard no more. It is a tale
