My definition of faith:
Faith is accepting as truth that for which there is no sufficiently compelling evidence
Faith is accepting as fact that for which there is no ultimate proof
Faith is believing without seeing
Faith is trusting without good reason
Whenever I share my definition of faith with a Christian it is automatically, and with a high haughtiness, dismissed
And in it's place, the Christian asserts that faith is:
"confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see"
Can somebody please explain to me how my definition of faith differs from the biblical definition?
How does having 'confidence in what one hopes for'
differ from
'accepting as truth that for which there is no sufficient evidence'?
How does an 'assurance about what we do not see'
differ from
an 'acceptance as fact minus ultimate proof'?
