text: if i have faith in something, does that mean i'm right?  what importance or effect does faith carry?   it depends on what you are putting your faith in. if you are putting your faith in a chair that you know is broken to support you weight and hold you up so you dn't fall, then you may not be right to put your faith in that chair. if you are putting faith in your brakes to stop your car, and you know that your brakes are working great, then you may be right.   do we only put your faith into things that you know, i think you should always make an effort to put faith in things with consideration of the thing or person you are putting your faith in.  if we are talking about putting faith in god to save your soul, then it may depend on what god you are talking about. it depends on what god has said regarding faith. if you are hindu, what does god say about faith. if you are muslim what does it say... and so on...   if you are going to put faith (hope, trust, love,) into something it shouldn't be done blindly... it should be done with the utmost care and consideration. don't get me wrong there are somethings that can not be tested, tried, etc... so you have to go on your gut feelings, but somethings can be.  i have faith that jesus died for my sins, and he died and rose aging from the dead.. is this something i can prove??? i can look at history, and things of that nature, come to a conclusion to support my willingness to put faith in what i am reading in the bible is truth, and this gives me the assurance that putting faith in jesus is good. i can look at history, the earth, humans... so it really depends on what you are putting your faith in and why.
