Is the rapper Jay Z considered to be an apostate by the Jehovah witnesses?

There's a carrot and stick motivation attached to believing without evidence. Jesus tells his followers that they can't enter into the kingdom of God unless they believe as little children, which to me means without questioning. (Matthew 18:3 & 19:13-15, Mark 10:13-16 and Luke 18:15-17) And in John 20:29, Jesus blesses those who believe without evidence.

So the religious leader sows the seeds of fear about his followers questioning anything they're told they must believe, and the hope of being saved if they believe without needing evidence. Blind faith is required because the beliefs would not of course stand up to critical enquiry; anyone who did so would once have been considered lost, and possibly a traitor warranting ex-communication. And Paul says that faith is itself proof: "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen" (Hebrews 11:1).

This seems to be a way to convince people that faith is itself proof of what they believe in.

Yes there is. Faith in biblical terms is having trust in God and knowing he has your back. Verses blind faith where they believe they have a trust in God, but the truth is, they aren't really believing in him as much as they think.

And in other terms, faith in a God, and blind faith meaning they believe a different type of god, where (as a Christian) I would believe that the person who believes in a different god than my God has blind faith and cannot see the real thing (which is my Jesus Christ if you know what I'm saying). So in unspoken terms there are unspoken differences between "faith" and "blind faith.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
