My definition of faith is believing in something or someone without question, evidence, or doubt. Faith does not prove existence, just whether you believe with or without logic. In my personal opinion “Faith” can be a religious or non-religious term. For example, I have faith in gravity. I believe that wherever I am in the world, if I drop something, it will fall. I do not have and cannot have absolute knowledge of it, because I cannot be everywhere at once and at all times, dropping things and proving my hypothesis. And maybe, just maybe there are certain and extremely rare conditions on earth where I could drop something and it wouldn't fall, where gravity wouldn't apply, I don't know. But even so, the only reasonable and intelligent thing to assume, based on my experiences and what others have told me, is that gravity always applies. So I have faith in gravity, and that faith is reasonable and logical. It's the only reasonable position. Many people have different answers, but not all of them may be right or accurate. In another aspect of thinking, I hoped that things would happen in my life like sweepstakes or getting my car repaired at an affordable price. Sometimes my hope was in vain, sometimes I was satisfied with the results. My faith is built on trust. While reading Dynamics of Faith this semester I was able to reflect on my true feelings of faith. The truthfulness of our faith can be viewed subjectively and objectively. Our faith is subjectively true if it is what ultimately interests us and it is objectively true if it is truly the definitive thing. There can be no faith without the participation of that which is ultimate. If there is no revelation of the ultimate, man cannot have faith in this ultimate. F... middle of paper... find out why it has caused so many controversial issues worldwide. Religion has been around since humans could think and wonder. The vast majority of people have always believed that there is a higher power or divine being that controls the events that happen in our lives. In conclusion, faith is not a belief, but a quality of the human being. Above all, I liked Tillich's emphasis on faith in life. Difficult, but worth reading because this book made me think about issues I took for granted, as well as offering potential insight into the most devout among us. For me faith still produces and offers a wide variety of questions, but ultimately I know that my beliefs are based on love and understanding that lead to salvation and happiness that can also be found through philosophy. But after looking deeper into both terms, I discovered that they are closely related.
