What It Means To Believe

[riohenry]

I’m an engineer and had no faith but I desired to have faith. After many months of prayer, God showed me proof that I could understand. He’s worked miracles in my life and I’m nobody special. Pray for guidance and God will give it to you

*Authentic 'belief' is beyond reason and inclusive of it.* Thank you Bishop Barron, you have shed that needed light, in so few words.

This Bishop Barron is an amazing, astounding, accurate teacher of Christ. I am learning more about our Catholic faith and lovin’ it❣️✌️🏽

Reason is the path to faith and faith takes over when Reason can say no more.
Thomas Merton I believe!

I prayed the Holy Rosary for the first time in my life and two days later I came to belief in the Truth of the Catholic religion.

[margaretbrauer]

Absolutely right. I was raised as a catholic but at the age of 15 l had the intelligence to go to my local library to find historical evidence for the existence of Jesus as a real person. I found the best evidence in the hostile writings of Tacitus AD30 (whose existence no one disputes!) complaining about those people going around saying their crucified leader Jesus had risen from the dead: and many willingly dying horribly themselves rather than deny Jesus’ life, death, miracles and resurrection. People who claim no evidence for Jesus and our faith in Him have only to look for it. It’s there. The sticking point may be the Resurrection but if so, ask yourself: would those first Christians have gone to terrible forms of martyrdom just for a lie? I most certainly don’t think so.

I've struggled with "blind faith" for years, but apparently I never struggled with belief. I never studied religion, despite knowing there is knowledge to be learned, for a fear of arguing against it to often. But after seeing this video, and gaining clarity, I'm ready.

Faith is a universal. Everyone does it. There is always a a gap between the evidence and absolute certainty in an empirical sense. Faith is what fills that gap and the result is belief in a particular conclusion. Faith is trusting where the evidence seems to be pointing.

[nelsondashner]

Here's the thing about suprarationality; it is a rationalization that can be applied to any claim for which you have no evidence or argument. Astrologers say that astrology is suprarational. People who believe in karma can say that it is suprarational. Whether you claim your position to be infrarational or suprarational, both are rationalizations you use when you don't have evidence or argument. When you can substantiate your claim with evidence and argument, you don't need goofy rationalizations.

[yolihinojos]
