No... Vampira- For me I guess it's just faith. I just..believe. No particular reason. I am so curious as to know why you don't ask me in person.

I would like to go on the faith part here (i would like to first state that i'm a strong believer in God)..... But when it comes down to it any argument is going to have to come down to faith, and I think realizing that fact would help out. Lets go to the "science big bang theory"... All matter in the universe came from one giant ball of mass, and at one point in time BANG explosion and it spread through out the universe and different parts of it combined over billion/trillions of years to bring us to where we are today... Now theres much in there I would love to ask about but I wont, lets just go to the ball of everything in the universe part. Physics states clearly that nothing in the universe can come from well, nothing.... So where did that "ball" that created the big bang come from? Did it always exist? Because it had to have come from somewhere right??? In my opinion this takes ALOT of faith to believe in.. So back to faith, yes to believe in God takes faith, but so does any other option as well.... I guess I just dont like being looked at as crazy for believing in God when all other options take as much if not more faith to believe in as well. So to the original question the "i dont get it".... Its faith, same as all the others, faith.... Now I would be more than willing to talk to anyone as to WHY i have my faith, but please never be ready for a debate with me.... See my goal is never to debate anyone, because in a debate someone wins, and someone loses, and in my faith, I never want anyone to lose =) -redang |

Hey Redang! to the forums!Now I must warn you that you've sort of wandered into the debates-section, where opposing views may appear ![]() You said that "So back to faith, yes to believe in God takes faith, but so does any other option as well." I'm not so sure about that. What about the option of "I don't know"? That doesn't seem to take any faith to me. Also, do tell me if you want me to elaborate a bit on the Big Bang-model of the universe. I don't claim to know it in depth, but I do know enough to clear up many of the questions you may have of it, or of science in general

Well generally on the big bang model you must come down to the origin of the matter that came from the big bang... Where did it come from? How was it made? It takes faith to believe it was there from the beginning of time, and then there comes the question what happened before the beginning of time? And what created that time before the beginning of time? ALOT of faith in that.... And as for the "I dont know" option.... Its really not an option as much as a not knowing.... I put something in a box, you dont know whats in the box... Just because you dont know whats in the box does not mean it doesn't exist. When it comes down to it, everyone has to claim to know atleast something... And that knowledge to some point must be rested on faith. I know a bumble bee can fly, i've seen it... but all physics says its impossible.... does this mean all of physics is wrong??? Faith, is what allows to exist... |

while i totally agree with our ability to have faith coming from God (& all things for that matter) its not the exsistence of faith thats gonna be debated-its the connecting the ability to beleive with a creator apostolic atheist scientist's have faith in a hypothesis right .......big deal? *btw nice bumble bee eg*

Well in truth I just went back to the original question of the post, and I stand by my faith part lol, but I will go into further explanation..... I was trying to say that to believe in anything it takes faith, and thats why I belive and do what I do as a Christian is because of faith.... But now I must admit to the original question my answer is sorta a cop out so i'll answer some more lol -well every person lives by which they believe to be true (faith) >the question is not what you believe but WHY you believe + my bible tells me to know why i believe (1peter 3:15 be ready to give defence to your account) (2tim 3 as a jesus follower i must know what i believe why i believe and be ready to humbly communicate it with others) I believe what I believe because the bible tells me it is real -can i trust the bible???? > well it is the most reliable collection of historical writtings "plato has 7 original copies in the world, and there is a 1200 year gap of when they were written to when he was alive "Julius Ceaser has 10 original copies of manuscript about him, and there is 1000 years of gap between when he was alive and when they were written "homers iliad has 643 original copies and there is 500 years a gap "the new testament hs 24,000 original copies and there is 23 years time gap of when they were written and when it happened (please note historical writtings mentioned are most validated and there are none more validated than those mentioned) -The bible is also historically acurate, things that accured in bible are validated else where -The bible has eye witness's -No other book over such a long period of time written by sooo many authors can be threaded together as it is finally, and this is the part where faith comes in, I have spoken to God, seen miracles accure and have seen the power of prayer work..... So yea thats why i believe in God |

First of all there is nothing in physics that says that bumble-bees can't fly, their flying abilities is in fact perfectly in accordance with physics. A more important point is your box. If I don't know what's in the box then surely the most honest thing to do is to say "I don't know what's in the box". I don't have to claim to know what's in the box or take it on faith. I can simply admit that I don't know. What would be wrong with that? |

uhm on the faith thing with the box, not knowing whats in the box and saying you dont know is ok (nothing wrong with that lol), BUT.... the moment you ask about what could possibly be in the box faith comes into play.... If you dont ask what's in the box you're taking a leap of faith assuming there isnt a nuke sitting inside of it that will destroy anyone around it and thus being safe. Once questions of anything are asked faith has to be taken to assume that what you hear in reply is either true or false. The decision to stand up and walk takes faith to know that your body will work. To start a car takes faith to know that your car wont blow up. Again to say "you dont know" is still an act of faith, by saying at that moment you are ok not to find out anything about the situation, and that takes faith... The part on faith as I stated before is a response as to why I believe in God, I believe now the question has shifted to what are the requirements to have faith.... Thats why I went away from the faith part....

Hello redang. Technically believing in nothing takes no faith, by definition, but in all practicality no one is able to do that. Simply believing that a ball will fall if you drop it is a kind of faith, albeit one backed up by personal observation. But that itself reflects belief that what you see is what is actually happening and not merely something in your head. Belief in reality is still belief, it just happens to be a very common one. Of course, you could try to be a complete cynic and say that you're not certain if anything is real, but chances are you couldn't actually operate under that mindset. Even such self-proclaimed cynics generally have some aspect of life they hang on to (If not, they don't hang on to life for long). "Love" is a common one, although what exactly it means to "believe in love" is seldom elaborated on. Already posted my opinion on belief, the Bible, and why I believe it, so I will not expand on that. |

So you guys don't differentiate between "belief" and "faith" at all? |

First to concs statement, you cant believe without faith.... Now on afal: to believe in nothing, means to believe in something.... and you're right about believing in a ball dropping is a kind of faith based on observation. But to know that those observations are real and substantial takes faith in those abilities to properly observe the world. But as stated above I explained why I believe in the bible, and its entire word as a whole. |
