"…and assurance about what we do not see."
I'm sorry… I've read Hebrews and have no idea what "assurance" this passage is referencing.
Can someone help me out?
You mean like there being a thousand different genders???

What does hypostasis have to do with assurances?
So faith is the foundation on which the belief that what we do not see (cannot prove) exists?
Kind of a 1=1 statement, when it's put that way.
Well… 1=1 or Circular Logic.
"Why do you believe the Bible?"
-"Because my faith commands me to."
"Why do you have faith?"
-"Because the Bible commands me to."
Sorry, but without ACTUAL assurances, that's the only reason to believe in the bible/have faith.
If there are no assurances, does mean that Biblical Faith is Blind Faith?
I guess that could make sense, since everything's unseen.
Might as well be blind!
Trusted to do what?
NOAH! GET THE BOAT!
Don't need the Bible for that.
What do I need the Bible for?
To make me guilty of all that sin, like Paul complained about?
The Bible's it's own problem, reaction, AND solution!
How conveniently Hegelian!
>I believe the purpose of having faith is that you aren't given any assurances.
And I believe that God is more evident than that.
>having that assurance, would it make your life better or worse? Think about it.
Knowing de actual wae would make things better.
I wouldn't be surrounded by liars and charlatans anymore.
No more stupid fucking religious wars that the imaginary figureheads somehow can't resolve on their own.
What part of the Pauline Doctrine are you basing that Trust on?
Which version of even his initial "revelation"?
He gave three.
Did the slaves hear and not see?
See and not hear?
Or neither?
Read it cover to cover already.
Trust in God for Salvation?
God's the one that put everyone in such peril to begin with that we need "being saved from"!
The fuck kind of Stockholm Syndrome are you working with?
REMEMBER JOB?!
God gave his full blessing and approval to have Job's shit wrecked, and then got pissed off when the only reason Job still believed in God is because he wanted someone to blame and receive his harsh words!
There wasn't love for the Lord, by the end of it Job was just begging either for death or to be left the fuck alone.
