1 | Define Faith. | Heb 11:1 | Hank | 34722 | ||
Lionstrong, certainly you're right that faith is important, for without it is impossible to please God (Heb.11:6). Without trying to steal CDBJ's thunder in answer to your question about what faith is, I'd suggest for starters the definition found in Heb.11:1. I think we need not resort to esoteric or philosophical definitions or discussions of faith in order to understand what the biblical view of faith is. --Hank | ||||||
2 | Define Faith. | Heb 11:1 | Lionstrong | 35253 | ||
Hi Hank, You write, "I think we need not resort to esoteric or philosophical definitions or discussions of faith..." Why do you say this? Do you think this is my aim? I've already stated my reason for Heb 11:1 not begin what is given in Scripture as a definition of faith. Rather than repeat what I've already written, I would direct your attention further up the tree. Thanking you for your interest in this topic, Peace, Lionstrong |

3 | Define Faith. | Heb 11:1 | Hank | 35270 | ||
Dear Lionstrong, hello! The reason I said, "I think we need not resort to esoteric or philosophical definitions or discussions of faith" is because I think we need not resort to esoteric or philosophical definitions or discussions of faith on a study Bible forum because the Bible is the best resource there is for examining what faith is, what it means, how to get it, and what to do with it once we have it. The Bible says that faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. If the Bible doesn't give a clear explanation of what faith is, (it does, by the way) where then shall we find one? This is rhetorical; you need not respond. --Hank | ||||||
