My faith

My faith (if it can be called that, which I would dispute) is a faith based on rational thought - or so I like to think. My feelings about religion are well known, more or less, to regular posters here, especially my pals ekrubtap, TMOV, BooRad, and Mrs. Hoppes - but as Mrs. Hoppes has now called me a blasphemer (back to Baphomet with you evil sinner!) she may no longer count me as a pal. Nonetheless, I have found some words that describe well my beliefs regarding religion and the faith that compels and propels it. To wit:

Faith is a euphamism for "trust".
People can barely find it in themselves to trust themselves.
Yet they would trust a second hand god.

I'm sorry you no longer count me as a pal. And I am sorry you feel offended by what I said in the other thread. However, I am not going to retract my statement. What I said is true to God's Word. He is the final authority.
As far as blind faith goes... it's not blind.
For carnally minded, it is blind in that there is no "evidence" but for the spiritually minded, the evidence is everywhere.

BTW, I still consider you a pal and I am still praying for you.

Oh Mrs. Hoppes, I fear you misunderstood my rough English. I simply meant that you might have decided I was no longer your pal, after all it was you not I who called moi a blasphemer madam. Smile

Pray on madam, pray on. Who am I to stop you, much less inhibit your wish to save us all. By the by Mrs H, what exactly do you mean by:

Carnally minded means thinking of things through the flesh rather than the spirit.

Kinda "what can I profit from this?" or "What can I get out of this?" instead of "How can God use me in this situation?" or "How can this other person be helped?"

Instead of "what have you done for me lately?" the question should be "what I have I done for Him lately?"
