The Opposite of Faith

[Dan58]

I didn't vote because I don't think the opposite of faith is either doubt or fear. Believer's sometimes doubt, but still maintain their faith, and you can't fear something when you have no faith that it even exist.

The opposite of faith is rejecting a touted truth as a complete falsehood. Its when a person writes it all off as hogwash. jmo

 

[Dan58]

The opposite of faith is hopelessness

I mean why did you leave out 1st corinthians 2:10?

 

[p_rehbein]

Is it possible to believe something without faith ? I would argue yes. For example to the best of my knowledge If i jump up I will also go back down. I know this because of testing it over and over again with the same results.

How are we defining faith ? - I always assumed it was to claim to know something without evidence? Please correct me if this is too simplistic or wrong.

Your example is based on this world.......earthy/physical being.......so, yes we can believe in what we experience.....but that is not "faith." Faith is based on the Spiritual world not the physical world.

Read Hebrews 11:1

 

[p_rehbein]

Perhaps reason and logic are to be servants of God's revelation, not enemies.
They only become enemies when they cease to be servants and try to take the supremacy.

What I know for sure is that I am so very grateful the God decided to impart Grace unto us rather than reason or logic. For had God chosen reason and logic, all mankind would be damned.

That sounds logical rather than gracious

1st Corinthians 2:9-10
king James version(KJV)

9.)But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.

10.)But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

 

[popeye]

The opposite of faith is hopelessness

I would say so.
But the others you threw out are good choices also.

It is "faith,some faith,no faith," and then how these manifest in a humanoid.

For Peter it was looking around at some waves.

For little David it was built on the anointing and what he saw God do in the wilderness,building one victory at a time.

True faith has prophecy as it's cousin...

EX;
"now you will see the power of God"
" no,Goliath,it is Your head coming off today"

 

[popeye]

" the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy"

1st Corinthians 2:12-14
king James version(KJV)

12.)Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.

13.)Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

14.)But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

1 Corinthians: 12. 3. Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man, speaking by the Spirit of God, saith Anathema to Jesus. And no man can say the Lord Jesus, but by the Holy Ghost.
4. Now there are diversities of graces, but the same Spirit;
5. And there are diversities of ministries, but the same Lord;
6. And there are diversities of operations, but the same God, who worketh all in all.
7. And the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man unto profit.
8. To one indeed, by the Spirit, is given the word of wisdom: and to another, the word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit;
9. To another, faith in the same spirit; to another, the grace of healing in one Spirit;
10. To another, the working of miracles; to another, prophecy; to another, the discerning of spirits; to another, diverse kinds of tongues; to another, interpretation of speeches.
11. But all these things one and the same Spirit worketh, dividing to every one according as he will.

[Siberian_Khatru]

I was listening to this song called "We Believe" by Newsboys and I was wondering what's the opposite of Faith. Is it doubt or fear? And for my cynical friends, curiosity is my reason for asking this I'm curious to hear you guys' input and I'd appreciate it. Poll incoming. Because polls rock.

As a cynic, I don't trust that reason. Everyone has motive!

 

[weakness]

You need a third option: unbelief

​ Fear and doubt have such a childish weak kind of reference ,Like sitting in the corner trembling. I was thinking something like Pride. Why wouldn't we have faith unless we feel no need for a greater power or loving father in our lives? We think we can handle things ourselves. We think to much of ourselves. Another scripture says we won't come to the light because our deeds are evil.

 

[seed_time_harvest]

According to the poll, most people believe that the opposite of fear is doubt.
