Faith Without Facts Is Supersition

Faith is the substance (material) of the unseen. If our faith is not based on what is real, what is true, and what is righteous it is not faith at all. Many people do believe blindly, never questioning. I believe God wants us to seek out the truth. Faith is knowing that the truth can be found.

I think it is a vicious cycle. Faith is followed by reasoning, and reasoning is followed by faith. We cant really see gravity, but we experience it - right? I also think that everything in the universe has a perfect logical sequence including our actions and reactions. By the time we decipher it, a new puzzle is ready before us to decipher. We can either choose to ignore it or spend time trying to make sense out of it. We normally choose to ignore because we need our time for our day to day chores.

I used to be a believer, but there was not enough fact in the fiction! For instance- God's Love is Famous. We are told to love God, and to forgive. Colossians 3:13 Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. (NIV) And then we are told- So it will be at the end of the age; the angels shall come forth, and take out the wicked from among the righteous, and will cast them into the furnace of fire; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. (Matthew 13:49-50)

I think faith is believing in something that you cannot prove but you just know it in your heart that it is real or you feel it- well, that's just my definition.. You can't really prove anything about God unless you die.. so it's all up to the person

That`s a silly saying.Once you know something it is no longer faith.If tomorrow Jesus will come again and you will accept the existence of God as a fact you can no longer say i believe in God just like you don`t say i believe i need air and water in order to survive.You know you need air and water in order to survive.

I agree with this. People will go about their religion like it is fact. Yet they rarley question what they believe. As many religions say if you question such things, you'll goto Hell. I mean shouldn't that raise any red flags? People should at least think about it. Mark Twain said "Fath is believing what you know ain't so, and if Christ were here now there is one thing he would not be - a christian." I really agree with this quote. It makes a lot of sense. I think people should really stop and think for a few moments and look deeper into what is fact and what is not.

I understand what you are saying and though your thinking certainly does make sense to me I would say I can not agree with the phrase. The phrase does not make sense to me at all because faith is believing in the unseen, sometimes things that do not make sense by facts alone. This is what having faith actually is. (spiritually defined) Superstition though it sometimes has a religious character is never in relation to a faith in God, so in this care it is impossible to have both. If a person has faith in God then they are not superstitious. The two things are completely different. This phrase “faith without facts” really applies on how we define blind. Having faith does not necessary mean you are blind if you do not have facts or scientific proofs for example. We can have faith by obtaining spiritual truths such as a believe in God’s love and that is all that is required.

I still do have little faith in everything. If we don't have faith, then what is life for. We need to overcome things and have faith into our lives.

I am religious. Few incidents lead to blind faith at times, but you cannot go with that always.I think facts also should go with your beliefs .
