  Question regarding Faith...(adamah)

  peace!.

  you have stated (and others have agreed and stated the same) that faith is not based on evidence, or it is not faith to begin with.

  may i ask you, then, if you think the apostles and early disciples, who walked with christ, had faith?

  The gnostic way of "knowledge of the divine" is told not to be found in this physical world. Instead in higher dimensions through a special kind of meditation that requires no thoughts, identical to the Buddhist samadi meditation.

  So the scale is like this:

  1. An idea

  2. A conviction

  3. A belief is created

  4. A "divine" faith is created

  5. Knowledge is created (from faith) = Knowing God = knowledge replaces (not longer needed) faith, belief and confidence.

  My thoughts too. A conviction on steorids and faith seems to be the same. And if it´s not, what´s the fundamental differences?

  And more from the article:

  what will guide us in choosing the right religion?

  the encyclopdia universalis is correct when it highlights the importance of truth.

  a religion that teaches lies cannot be true.

  When Wt claims that we should build up a Godly faith through being "convinced that Jehovah exists", but not by "human thinking", I would be interested how to do that. How to be convinced without thinking?

  And, for example, if I wish to have Faith in God but don´t believe in God anymore, how shall I continue then?

  Adamah, thanks for your reflections on my post.

  "Faith demands accepting a belief without any perceivable evidence...." That´s a very interesting view of it....

  What really IS the difference between an "unshakeable belief" and "faith"? The faith is more confident? Confidence that grows with a conviction (for example that Jehova exists) but NOT with "human thinking"?

  Adamah, please straightening up my confuced questions

  My guess is that it will be about "forced money donations", but I hope it is a change of the 144.000....to be just symbolic.
