Reader comment on item: The Bible's Role in American Support for Israel
in response to reader comment: Amorphous Faith?
Submitted by Bart Willruth (United States), Oct 23, 2006 at 13:20
The definition of faith you quote from Hebrews is pretty good. Allow me to paraphrase the quote. "Faith is a wish. Faith is a substitute for evidence of the senses." We are on the same page. I just disagree that faith is a means of gaining knowledge.
