Please Stop Saying Faith Is Belief Without Evidence

I am very happy to report that the Christian definition of faith is NOT belief without evidence! I'll establish this by looking at specific passages of scripture which refute this definition. The problem is that by saying "faith is belief without evidence" we are no longer talking about the way we hold to a belief. We are saying something about the evidence for the Christian faith. Specifically we are saying there is no evidence. I have a problem with this... and so should you.

This ministry exists to help people see the truth of Christianity and to think more deeply and biblically about it.

“Reasons To Believe” is a group of Christian scientists who demonstrate that science helps to prove biblical claims. They introduced me to apologetics 😊.

Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1

I’m late to the party and as a newbie to my faith, I can’t tell you how helpful I found this video. Thank you.

When the Holy Spirit enters your heart, you know it without a shadow of a doubt, it is the purest form of peace and joy you will ever receive.

The Lord is blessing this channel, Mike. Thanks for the videos.

This is the answer to so many questions I've had and wondered why so many Christian friends would quote this scripture about their faith. Thank you so much Pastor for sharing your knowledge.

This is just wonderful my Brother. Thank you so much and thank the Lord most of all for such teachings.

The teaching on Hebrews 11 is very helpful for our brothers and sisters! In fact, we should be glad when skeptics use this scripture to attempt to weaken the faith of Christians because it provides an opportunity to both explain that we do not follow Jesus without evidence, and a chance to use Biblical exegesis for a skeptic - which in my experience is rare (with atheist skeptics).

God bless and Thank you, Mike.

Thank you! Timeless wisdom and breakdown!

[BJJqueen]

Aww! I LOVE the kitty! Another great video and well constructed argument for having faith and just what it really means for us, as Christians. :)

[isstephanie]

Saved this one. I really enjoy Your break down.

[deedavis]

I admire your clarity and humility in teaching. May God bless you.

I watched the Matt Dillahunty debate. Mike came in empty handed, unprepared, and with nothing in his ammunition to back up his corner. Matt took him to the cleaners.

[taratags]

P Mike, you just saved my life! What I mean is this will help me tremendously in responding to an atheist relative, which I have just prepared a response to based on the notes I just took from the points in this video. My aim is to not attempt to convince or debate him, and this video literally answered my prayer for wisdom in how to respond.

[thomasharner]

Mike thanks for your Work on this. Very Well done.

[JaelynJ]

I just want to say that I LOVE your channel. You are such a blessing to me with your desire to explain the Bible in a clear and unbiased way. Thanks for all you do. I would love to give to your mission if there is any way to do that. Please let me know!
