If you seek evidence for your faith, does that mean you do not have faith?

I don't think so. It means you are trying to do what you can to strengthen your faith.

(Some of these answers are so stupid, faith means trust, it doesn't have to be a religious word).

Example: If I'm a boss and I set a new worker to a task then leave, when I come back I'm going to look to see if the worker did what he was instructed to do. That is seeking evidence for my faith (trust) in that worker to do what I said while my back was turned.

True faith rests on solid evidence. Faith, at least in some measure, is an important part of our lives. We accept employment, expecting that we will get paid. We plant crops with the assurance that the seeds will sprout. We trust our friends. And we have confidence in the laws that govern the universe. This is an informed faith, for it is based on evidence. Likewise, faith that God exists rests on evidence.

At Hebrews 11:1, the Bible says: “Faith is . . . the evident demonstration of realities though not beheld.” Another version says: “Faith . . . makes us certain of realities we do not see.” (The New English Bible) To illustrate: You are walking along a beach when, suddenly, you feel the ground quake. Then you see the water rush out to sea. You recognize the significance of these phenomena and that they warn of a tsunami. In this case, the quake and the vanishing water together form an “evident demonstration” of the yet unseen reality, the approaching waves. Your informed faith, in turn, moves you to flee to high ground and safety.

Faith in God too should be an informed faith, a response to convincing evidence. Only then can God become an ‘unseen reality’ to you. Must you be a scientist to examine and weigh such evidence? Nobel laureate Vladimir Prelog acknowledged that even “winners of the Nobel Prize are not more competent about God, religion, and life after death than other people.”

An honest heart and a thirst for truth should move you to examine the evidence fairly and let that evidence lead you in the right direction. What evidence is available for examination? Jehovah’s Witnesses publish a number of research and study aids that can help you. If you are interested in obtaining such aids, feel free to ask any of Jehovah’s Witnesses. :-)

-Faith is believing what you know ain't so.- Mark Twain

the faith IS the evidence .. no it doesnt mean you dont have it, i think everyone has some degree of faith its a spiritual part of humans .. maybe you just dont know exactly what faith is if your looking for something ..

No it doesn't. If you question your faith like for Christianity "How does God exist?" then you learning from your faith or you wish to find out more. If you still believe in your faith then you have faith but if you don't believe in it any more and you think that its wrong then you may have faith in something else that you do believe in.

Yes, faith implies confidence contrived based on appeals to authority, tradition and other religious social memes. Not appeals evidence of causation.

i don't know.

No. If you FIND evidence for your faith that then makes your faith pointless.

yes screw faith

My faith has an obscene history, covered with a whole lot of bright white paint.

Oh. And with a shiny gold trumpeter on top, tooting about how non-materialistic you'd better be.
