I believe some people have it - but I don't. I would like to think that I have a reasonable faith.

Re: Blind Faith
Blind faith is that faith possessed by the blind. The term is socially offensive and should be henceforth known as faith of the visually impaired.RickD wrote:Please define 'blind faith'.ultimate777 wrote:Do you believe in blind faith?

The link above is from the best Christian apologist I have encountered in my 68 years. If it does not work for you please let me know, but it is darned important that you read it, then maybe we will have more to talk about.

Re: Blind Faith
Ultimate777,
I really have no problem with what the author said in that link.
Here's another link that talks about blind faith.
I would have to answer 'no', I don't have blind faith. Even at the age of seven, when my mom told me about Christ for the first time, and I put my trust in Him, it wasn't a blind faith. I saw my mom change as a person, so I was a direct witness to the work of the Holy Spirit in her life. I had as much understanding as I could as a seven year old, of Jesus, but even then my trust in Him wasn't blind.

The above tells you about J. Warner Wallace, and his special background for this.
If we click on home after we get there, no telling what good stuff we might find.

I thought by making the question as simple as possible I would create the least misunderstanding. What prompted the question is what Wallace said in his book.1over137 wrote:I have just read it.

So, apparently I did not understand it the way you intended. There were more ways how to understand it and I just picked one and replied

Hi Ultimate
I have read the book awhile ago, what exactly did he say?
From my reading of it it mainly talks about the authenticity of the gospels, the chain of evidence and how to evaluate claims.
1Tim1:15-17
Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners of whom I am the worst. But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his immense patience as an example for those who would believe in him and receive eternal life. Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever.Amen.
