Faith is supernatural

@sonship said
Faith is the substantiation of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen." [yet are realities]

Is it "substance" or "substantiation"?

@fmf said
What happened to the word "assurance"?

"Confidence", "conviction".

@sonship said

"Now faith is the sunstantiation ofthings hoped for, the conviction of things not seen." (Hebrews 11:1)

Do you mean “substance” rather than “substantiation”?

@fmf said

Just seen this, sorry for repeating.

@fmf said
There are 28 different translations of Hebrews 1:11 here https://biblehub.com/hebrews/11-1.htm Where is the word SUBSTANTIATION?

I find the word SUBSTANTIATION in this book: The Holy Word for Morning Revival - God’s Economy in Faith By Witness Lee

The word SUBSTANTIATION does not appear in these translations of the Bible:

sonship's version: Faith is the substantiation of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen

It is important in the OP for me to say what OP is NOT about.
It is NOT about (as far as I am concerned) what psychologists define as faith. It is not what Wbester's Dictionary or some other human opinion of the natural worldly culture tells you what faith is.

This is intended by me to be about the Bible's explanation of faith.

Faith is something supernatural according to the Bible.

Everyone has faith; we are creatures of faith; we don't all put it in the same places
and depending on where we are putting it, everything will change around us.

I disagree. Faith can cause our perception of what is around us to change. Faith can cause our behaviour with regard to what is around us to change.

🙂 Yes, how we view it all changes for us; the world changes around us as we see it
from a whole new perspective. The world was always the world, true.

Perception. Belief. Faith.

Cognition.

Our faith is what we trust; its fidelity, reality, and what we believe don't change
whatever we trust in. Putting our faith in anything doesn't change; the world
around us will remain as it is, no matter what we think about it; I believe we agree.

To be mistaken about something important foundational to everything else we
doesn't change that truth; it could, however, be very detrimental to our perception
of the world.
