The Bible teaches that faith is substance and evidence. It is not something that is "blind" as some people teach. Hebrews 11:1 says, "Now faith is the stubstance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." When a person has faith, it is based on factual evidence. And people who have faith also have the works to go along with that faith. Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
"Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works" (James 2:17, 18).

A.D.John C., Unregistered For further reference and study purposes: A.D. is a Latin term —Usage note Because anno Domini means “in the year of the Lord,” its abbreviation a.d. was originally placed before rather than after a date: The Roman conquest of Britain began in a.d. 43 (or began a.d. 43). In edited writing, it is still usually placed before the date. But, by analogy with the position of b.c. “before Christ,” which always appears after a date (Caesar was assassinated in 44 b.c.), a.d. is also frequently found after the date in all types of writing, including historical works: The Roman emperor Claudius I lived from 10 b.c. to 54 a.d. Despite its literal meaning, a.d. is also used to designate centuries, being placed after the specified century: the second century a.d.

3. Re: Mr.Guest User, Unregistered Jay Osborne - "You say above that faith is substance and evidence. Tell me where in history there is evidence for Jesus Christ as a flesh and blood person" -
There are many ways to prove Jesus Christ was real and on the earth in flesh and blood. Here is just one simple proof. What year is this? 2008 A.D. meaning after Christ's death. The entire world observes 2008 being 2,008 years after Christ's death. 2. Mr.Jay Osborne, Unregistered You say above that faith is substance and evidence.Tell me where in history there is evidence for Jesus Christ as a flesh and blood person,without using circular reasoning that the N.T.is so because it says it's so?Quoting the N.T.as history will not do,not even a historical kangaroo court would rule the N.T.is history.I may not be able to find an answer to this email on your site so i am typing my email address below.

P.S.I have a different view of faith than you without proof, it is>>Faith is the holding of a belief in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary. 1.
