Re: What is FAITH?
When you speak you generally intend to express a specific idea, I can interpret what you intended to say correctly or I might misunderstand what you intended to express..
What you said may be ambiguous, maybe it was quite nonsensically, or maybe I just didn't really make an effort to grasp precisely what you mean. But then again maybe I comprehended precisely what you meant to say..
Only I can make you believe that I actually comprehended what you meant.. But you can NEVER TRULY KNOW that I did, I can only provide reasonable evidence by which you can estimate that I did.. And I can NEVER TRULY KNOW that I actually and accurately comprehended what you meant, but you can only provide reasonable evidence by which I can estimate that I did..
But in any case I am either RIGHT or I am WRONG...irrelevant of any evidence, and irrelevant of whether or not I KNOW or BELIVE that I am...
So once I have decided on, or concluded, or estimated the most reasonable, probable meaning that you intended, based on the evidence at hand, I can then make choices on how I ought to act, and anticipate your reaction..
If you react in a way that is completely contrary to my expectations, then I can reasonably conclude that I did NOT correctly estimate the meaning of your words, or you LIED, or you are not TRUE to your word..
You could presume that you will NOT die if you jump from a tall biulding, but I doubt that you would..
Well feel free to set me straight, if you cannot back up your claim and reveal how I have been presumptuous, then it is you that is being presumptuous...

Re: What is FAITH?
To what end? You aren't even remotely open to seeing your errors. Let alone changing them.

Re: What is FAITH?
Have you got anything tangible?
That's just a repeat of your unsupported opening claim.

And "TheGuy" sure does preach a lot.
I don't believe in "God". But I've seen things that make me question conventional wisdom.
Re: What is FAITH?
Faith is personal devotion.
Tea is a drink.
Bears are animals...
Personal devotion is personal devotion..
I do not want to know what personal devotion is, I want to know what FAITH is..

Re: What is FAITH?
The word "acceptance" where you replaced it with "assumption"?
I already provided you with a link to a dictionary. What parts were you having difficulty with?
