The definition of faith I mentioned is the dictionary version.
I'm not closed off to the chance that
a devine revelation can happen.
It's just that I can't take someones word for it.
start here in sincerity, and don't give up - Divine Revelation
will follow:
John 1
The Word Became Flesh
1In the beginning was the Word
[Logos], and the Word
[Logos] was with God, and the Word
[Logos] was God. 2He was in the beginning with God. 3All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4In him was life,a and the life was the light of men. 5The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
6There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. 7He came as a witness, to bear witness about the light, that all might believe through him. 8He was not the light, but came to bear witness about the light.
9The true light, which enlightens everyone, was coming into the world. 10He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world did not know him. 11He came to his own,b and his own peoplec did not receive him. 12But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, 13who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.
14And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. 15(John bore witness about him, and cried out, “This was he of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me ranks before me, because he was before me.’”
16And from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace. 17For the law was given through Moses;
grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. 18
No one has ever seen God; the only God, who is at the Father’s side, he has made him known.

The Gospel of John identifies the Logos, through which all things are made, as divine (theos),[7] and further identifies Jesus as the incarnate Logos.
