Faith

INTERFAITH POST

Faith is a hope that things not seen by our eyes are true. Our faith is a hope, and we know it is not scientific.

We know it is possible that we are wrong, We know it is not necessarily logical. We know that to those without faith it seems odd or worse. We know these things and and still believe.

We all as believers have our doubts and questions at times, we are human in the end and to doubt is very human. But our faith is plain and simple a hope that things unseen and passed unto us are true.

And I for one am glad I have my faith. My faith sustains me through the chances and changes of this life.

And my being a believer hurts no one.

Because every believer's experience is unique, it can't be reduced to a formula or derived from a theorem.I would say, though, that each person's faith is logical based on his or her experience.
