... Please? Give me faith in SOMETHING! God, a soul, reincarnation, animal totems, anything! I'd even take the spegetti monster cult! I just need to know that there is something divine and godly out there.

The greek gods, Celebrate your humanity!

It's you. If you don't see sacredness in the world around you, maybe you need to look inside instead of outside. Maybe look up some philosophical satanism (LaVeyan satanism) and try some meditation or something. Nobody can give you faith, you have to find that for yourself.

I don't think anyone can really give you faith. I think it's something you just have.

Try reading Greek mythology.

Its like a contradiction. If you have faith, your faith is secure. If you don't and you start question-ing your faith, then your belief in whatever it is is obviously flawed. Hence, we are all supposed to unquestionably have faith in something we don't understand nor know.

So there's no point in giving you faith as by doing so, it just means you have inadequate faith in your own god. And if you have inadequate faith, no god ain't cutting it for you

Its all a vicious circle really...doesn't everyone just hate faith? http://www.totse.com/bbs/biggrin.gif (http://www.totse.com/bbs/biggrin.gif)

That's right.

Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Therefore Faith comes by hearing the Spoken Word of God, or hearing yourself speak God's Word. Faith when received and acted on because Faith with works. Faith, received, works, acted upon.

Faith, is the substance of things hoped for and the EVIDENCE of things not seen. Therefore faith perceives as real fact what isn't seen.

You can have faith in anything, but if you don't water the seed sown, you will not receive a harvest.

If I said, "Yes, I believe in God, I accept Christ." and Never read the bible, I wouldn't have root enough to endure whatever comes against my faith. You want faith? Knock, Seek, and when it comes to you, receive it.

Mark 4:9-32

I'm going to sum it up..

The ground that doesn't receive the seed (When you're speaking you're sowning seeds) of God's Word, allow the seed to be taken away forcefully. Their heart is hardened, by the 'fowls of the air' and they take it from you. Steal, even, because you didn't receive the seed.

The ground that receives the seed, and doesn't water it, never has root enough to endure what comes, so they turn away eventually.

The Third ground receives the Word (seed) water's it, but sows other things with the seed, and when the harvest begins to come in, the Word is choked, by the tares (weeds).

The fourth ground. The Seed is recieved, watered day by day, and before you know it, you have a harvest, and don't know how. But it is God who gives the increase.

"The Sower sows the Word." Where is the Word sown? In your heart. Who's the sower? You are.

Where ever you are RIGHT NOW, is a harvest of things you've sown.

Jesus said, "Such is the Kindgom of God." and Goes on the say, you hide the seed in the soil, but you water it, and it brings forth a harvest. Some 30, some 60, and some a 100 fold.

Faith.. 'Only believe'.

The Word says to come to God as a child.

Not only do children accept everything you say as truth, but children PERSIST when they want something. They don't stop until they get it. You want faith? Go to God, PERSIST, don't stop until you have what you want, but to go to God, you must first believe he's there, and you said you have little faith, so increase it with God's Word.
