How can faith be something certain, because "believe" doesn't
mean "know"?
Many thinkers have been involved in the matter of faith. They all
expressed divergent views, which, however, were not the result of neutral
thinking, but merely a reflection of their personal viewpoint.
Critical Points of view:
The Atheist T. Lebzak believes: "Faith defends preconceived beliefs
and rejects the provisions of science when they run counter to these
beliefs." "In this way, faith is, in the final analysis, a mortal
enemy of science." Now everyone knows it's a lie.
In such a critical tone said Kant, "I had to refuse. From knowledge
to give a place of faith". With this contradictory view, he prepared the
ground for various philosophical currents.
Diametrically opposed to faith.
The consequence of critical intelligence is the slogan on one of the
walls of the newly constructed high school in Norf, near Nejssa, reading:
"Don't trust no one who has a God in heaven."
Positive points of view:
The greatest physicist of all time, Isaac Newton, belongs to the saying:
"Who think only superficially, he does not believe in God ; who
thinks deeply, cannot help but believe in God."
The famous mathematician Blaise Pascal, with the same conviction,
proves, "how all nature speaks of God to those who know him, and reveals
to loving him, in the same way she keeps her secrets from those who do not seek
or know him."
Both opposing views clearly demonstrate that faith is not identical to
ignorance, but depends only on a personal position that can be changed, but not
philosophically thought, but only through a recourse to Jesus Christ, which the
Bible calls Repentance. For a unconverted person, the questions of faith are
foolishness, and he cannot understand them (1 Cor 1.18, 2.14). The man who is
in Christ, instructed to all truth by the Holy Ghost (John 16.13), his faith
has a solid foundation (1 Cor 3.11), his faith is something unambiguous and
based on knowledge:
"Faith is the implementation of expected and confidence in the
invisible" (Hebrev 11.1).
"Faith from hearing and hearing from the Word of God" (Romans
10.17).
The universe is rationally arranged by the creator ... The mind gives us
knowledge, and faith guides him.
