Paul(?) says it in Chapter 11 of Hebrews so well. It’s by FAITH that we know that God created. It is through BELIEVING in Him that we are saved

That's right. A leap of faith. After that everything we say about God becomes "real" and "tangible." But, then, if we believe there are unicorns on Jupiter...we could tangibly discss the sice and color of their horns, couldn't we?

Not unless those unicorns had some way of imparting information about themselves. We could discuss it, but there would have to be some kind of support for our comments to make them something other than pure conjecture.

Sorry, but I don’t buy off on the whole leap of faith concept.

Faith is the reasonable response to the evidence provided. Of course a Calvinist would say God provides our faith, the reason. Faith is not a blind leap.

I thought I told you... Do not mention the unicorns on Jupiter to anyone who doesn’t know the secret handshake, but then, they would already know about them, wouldn’t they? :>)
