It seems you've already jumped past the argument of the word faith, and have gone right on to evidence, just like I have noted numerous times on this thread.

Once again, the word faith is irrelevant, and we're back to arguing evidence.

Nonsense! You are looking at faith as a blind leap into the dark. Let me paint a picture for you.

At first glance the Christian faith may give the appearance of a blind leap into the dark, but in reality ii is based on evidence, HISTORICAL EVIDENCE, and one cannot come to a saving knowledge of the Christian's God, without that evidence being introduced into the picture.

God's grace first opens our heart to His message. Then Christians present some of the evidence to the unbeliever over time, and it may be that it takes hundreds of witnesses to get their attention. Then the unbelievr has the responsibility for examing the evidence. That is how faith is built.

If God doesn’t exist, you’re probably right—the word faith is irrelevant.

But if God does exist, then faith matters more than anything.
