Faith Vs Knowledge
(April 3, 2014 at 7:00 pm)professor Wrote: I view the question of the OP as rather like a legal trial.

For myself, evidence has been presented.
Any positional change for me came, because of evidence.

Blind faith is a contradiction in terms. There is no such thing.

All faith (confidence/ expectation) comes because of some kind of evidence.
I stepped out on the evidence I had.
I found knowledge after stepping out- I would call that - experience.

Mother Teresa, like most Catholics, apparently had a faith based on her performance rather than on an encounter/ Biblical veracity, subsequent encounters/ and more evidence.

Doubting Thomas, previous to encountering the risen Jesus, had the testimony of the other Disciples which he REFUSED to believe.

I have a friend who has heard the audible voice of God when he had a difficult choice to make. Two times he was directed that way. It is not the norm.
Occasionally, I hear of a similar experience by others.

We don't know why God has chosen the way of walking by- understanding/ perception/ clues/ inspiration ........rather than by sight.
There always seems to be an element of risk anytime you step out to do anything.
Maybe God likes to reward risk when it involves Him.

Define evidence.
