You insist on pulling this off thread don,t you.
Faith is taken to be one of the most important topics in the teachings of Jesus Christ, as documented in the New Testament catholic teachings of the Bible. The word faith appears less frequently in the Old Testament, than in the New Testament. The modern interpretations of faith in Christianity differ somewhat among various Christian traditions. Faith is to hope for things which are not seen, but which are believed to be true (Heb. 11: 1), and must be centered in Jesus Christ in order to produce salvation.
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life." (John 3:16, ESV)
“Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.” (Romans 5:1. ESV)
“And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.” (Hebrews 11:6, ESV) taken from the catholic interp. on faith.
Do I have faith? I am catholic. walt2000
