[quote:RichardHead:MV80MDE2OTI1XzcyNzMwMDgwXzdGNDlERUY0] [quote:Anonymous Coward 7406937:MV80MDE2OTI1XzcyNzMwMDQzXzRBRjVDMDQy] [quote:RichardHead:MV80MDE2OTI1XzcyNzI4OTQxXzUzRkU5QkJF] [quote:Anonymous Coward 7406937:MV80MDE2OTI1XzcyNzI4NDU1XzQ1NTBGREI1] [quote:RichardHead:MV80MDE2OTI1XzcyNzI4MTczXzk4Q0VGOEU5] After reading all of the opinions above.. and found most wanting... lets see what the good book says about it.. Hebrews 11:1 ESV Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. Matthew 21:22 ESV And whatever you ask in prayer, you will receive, if you have faith. Romans 10:17 ESV So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ. Mark 11:22-24 ESV And Jesus answered them, “Have faith in God. Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. 1 Corinthians 2:5 ESV That your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men but in the power of God. Scripture on Faith Scripture on Faith Ephesians 2:8-9 ESV For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. James 2:19 ESV You believe that God is one; you do well. Even the demons believe—and shudder! Luke 1:37 ESV For nothing will be impossible with God. Proverbs 3:5-6 ESV Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. 2 Corinthians 5:7 ESV For we walk by faith, not by sight. Bible Verses about Faith Bible Verses about Faith Hebrews 11:6 ESV And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him. James 2:14-26 ESV What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him? If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and filled,” without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that? So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. But someone will say, “You have faith and I have works.” Show me your faith apart from your works, and I will show you my faith by my works. ... James 2:24 ESV You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone. James 1:5-8 ESV If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind. For that person must not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways. Philippians 4:13 ES [/quote] Not to sound snarky but maybe your faith isn't as strong as you thought it was. God almighty created you, so he cannot be fooled by feigning faith. Also praying to win the lotto is not a good idea either. For it is tempting thy lord God. It's akin to jumping off the side of the grand canyon after praying to God for a safe landing. :peace: [/quote] And here we go AGAIN with ANOTHER GLP soul intimating that the reason i posted that "Im beginning to think faith is Bullshit" Is because "I LACK FAITH" and again i say your posit fails completely because for all YOU KNOW i could be a person that has more faith than anyone youve ever known, but faith in what? Well my faith in GOD IS ROCK SOLID !!! I am referring specifically to the tenets of "If you believe whatsoever you accept you have" Without getting into details. I have put forth COMPLETE FAITH in person after person, after person, venture after venture, COMPLETE FAITH so much that I will work years.. did i say years?? i did say YEARS...My faith would make you losers questioning my faith pass out under similar circumstances. I hope that makes sense without going into details. [/quote] Quite really. My favorite biblical character is Job. :peace: [/quote] thanks, actually mine also. having lived smiliar and currently being extremely blessed. accept for one aspect of life that for whatever reason doesnt jive.. 2 decades of frustration. Even my wife shakes her head like "DUDE, WTF" no ONE would believe it.." hahaahahaha.. [/quote]

Faith the size of a Mustard seed, moving mountains etc.
that kind of faith.. I wont go into details. But i have had faith (COMPLETE FAITH) in soooo many things and especially PEOPLE to absolutely NO AVAIL..so you tell me what gives brah?
Is having FAITH a bill of goods that sounds real good but doesnt pay off in the end? Now dont get me wrong. I accept as true that there is a God on complete faith and have experience divine intervention several times.. etc.
but the whole. "Go in faith, Through faith, healed by faith, you can do all things with faith.. doesnt hasnt held up in the face of my life experience. just saying..
Flame on..!!
