Is there a difference between true faith and blind faith?

In many ways there is and in so many ways there is not any difference. I say that because in the case of religion, for example, what is true faith to many is blind faith to others. Both believe but one seems to have more incite, more facts and examples.

The other person believes because they feel it is right to believe. They are sincere but have no really evidence to support their belief...it is simply blind faith. In terms of the end of the world forecast, I seriously doubt that the Lord will allow anyone who walks this earth in the human spirit to be the foreteller of the end.

I don't see God offering warnings in that regard for it serves no purpose. Once God had decided to end things, you can be sure that he is not sitting there looking for reasons to rethink his choice. In terms of faith, I think we have to look to God as a loving creator who has no desire to bring cruelty upon that which he has created.

Once he decides to end things, he will find his way to let us know that it is over...I have faith in that. WB.

This depends entirely on your definition of "faith. "If by "faith," you mean the attitude or state of mind for "walking on water," as Peter had when he stepped out of his storm-tossed boat to walk a moment on the sea with his master, then "blind faith" becomes an oxymoron (a self-contradictory term). Such a concept is an impossibility.

Perhaps what most people refer to as "blind faith" is merely "blind belief. " The transcendant definition of "faith," above, is a perfection which opens the door to God. This can only be attained with perfect humility.

Mere mortal "belief" contains varying degrees of doubt and frequently arrogance. True faith does not. If someone attains a state of true "faith," then they would have clearly seen that the May 21 forecast was a delusion.

There would have been no blindness.

For me personally, I feel that blind faith is trust. It is believing something for what it is without prior experience with it. Blind faith in God is trusting that it is true whether or not you have experienced it personally and being willing to share what you believe.

I feel that true faith is faith experienced. It is having a personal experience which draws that blind faith into reality in your life, one you share because of its amazing grace. It is walking with blind faith in the reality that your true faith is real without daily proof.It is a walk of faith in every phase of your life.

When HE is what and who you are.

I would have to answer yes. It is good to believe in something, but maybe not to believe so blindly that you completely ignore bad signs, facts and things happening in front of your eyes. It is blind faith that cults/terrorists and even religions have used to their advantage for many negative occurrences - where the people do not question, but choose to just believe.

Faith is a great and powerful thing, but you also need to use your brain sometimes!

I'm thinking that blind faith is believing something, not because you truly believe it, but because you believe you should believe it. True faith would be when someone's resolve is unwavering, when they can truly believe in every aspect of a certain thought...and they would have to fully understand what they're buying into with the rational human mind and our maybe "ill-perceived" hints at spirituality...then there's the wonder of, "social-conditioning", as in; "have I just been raised to think I believe? "......in light of me discussing with myself what I think I believe that true faith is far off for many of us.My last thing I want to touch on...I wouldn't describe everyone's fears of The May 21st, end of the world broadcast as "blind faith".

I'd lump that in with the "mob-mentality" syndrome, and how we so readily believe that we, as humans, can predict our own ends...

True faith operates in the spiritual realm as Believers allow themselves to be dominated by their inner spirit-man. Blind faith operates in the natural realm. Unbelievers cannot receive the spiritual things of God because they operate with a logical mind.

I doubt it. I think the operative word here is "faith" which means taking on trust that something which you have read, heard or been told is true. The only way one can tell if it is indeed true or not is to test it using evidence - but if you do that it becomes knowledge, not faith, so in this way, the term "true faith" is oxymoronic.

I say true faith is the knowledge that your beliefs are not based on what you can see with your eyes but on your heart. Blind faith is when you believe whatever you are told without questioning it for yourself. Blind faith can be dangerous.

The Germans had blind faith in .

I believe that true faith is a reasoned thing, that given a set of facts and the ability to question their veracity you choose to accept those facts. Blind faith,the earth is flat, the world will end on such and such a date, Democrats are wrong and Republicans are right is a faith born of fear or laziness. In the case of the flat earth theory, religious dogma said that it was and to go against that precept was to risk excommunication and possibly even death.

That is the fear at work. Laziness is what leads people to accept the edicts of other people that they either consider more knowledgeable or that pass themselves off as such without using their own knowledge or experience to reason it out. God gave his creation a mind and the ability to reason for a purpose.

True faith is a spiritual belief. Blind faith is the belief that one's life choices are based on the probability of understanding one's reality... Or not.

I guess the term "blind faith" comes from the comment of Paul's "we walk by faith, not by sight. " (II Cor.5:7) But I think it has been grossly misapplied in our times. Paul did not mean that his faith was irrational or foolish.

While he could not grasp with his senses the fact that to die is to be at home with the Lord, he reasoned from scores of biblical assurances that this would be the case. That is faith at its best; believing what God has said. True faith is never blind.It always rests on reasonable data.

Thank you all for a wonderful philosophical discussion. Some of you feel that blind faith and true faith are the same, which sets me thinking again. How about those religions who feel it is ok to go demonstrate at the funeral of soldier or gay person and say the most hateful, unkind and uncharitable things on their placards and posters, in the midst of a family's greatest anguish.In such a case, is true faith and blind faith the same?

There is a difference between true faith and blind faith. True faith comes through prayer and study. When we learn something new about the gospel we need to pray and study it out so that we may know for ourselves that it is true.

Blind faith occurs when we just follow anything we hear or read without studying it out or asking God through prayer if it is true. My church teaches the importance of having true faith through study and prayer and the dangers and downfalls of blind faith. It is important to know the difference.

With bling faith you never question your faith. With true faith you question your faith and still retain it.

True faith can only be understood in a spiritual context. It is assurance based on knowledge. Blind faith is more like hoping... True faith is larger than our humanity and bigger than an individual person.

Blind faith almost sounds like ignorance and the laziness to research what you believe, which is a problem with most everyone. True faith is RARE, and finding someone who has true faith is someone worth knowing and a friend worth keeping.

True faith is blind faith. True faith is actually an oxymoron. Faith is faith, defined as believing in something greater than yourself.

One can imply the other; the opposite is not necesarly true; I let you figure out which one though :).

Faith is belief in things unseen. All faith is blind.

Blind faith is like walking across a highway with your eyes closed. True faith is actually believing you'll cross the road unscathed. Blind faith is for the reckless, impulsive and dumb.It is subject to accidents, swindles and a number of things to regret.

Look at what happened when they said it was the end of the world! True faith is an informed strong belief that guides your every decision and tells you that only God knows when the end of the world would be so everyday preparation is needed unlike the uneventful plight people struggled with after giving everything they have to everybody and realizing it's NOT the end of the world and they're hell as poor.It is what every individual must possess whatever their religion is. :).

Yes, there is a difference between true faith and blind faith. True faith make solution and blind faith creating hesitation.

I think true faith is blind faith. My faith system talks about the "unseen" or things the eyes cannot see, it talks about heaven and hell, it talks about the day of judgement and all the other good stuff. I think, truly believing in all of it, is the blind part of true faith.

True faith to me means you never question it's integrity and are living in its very essence for a specified purpose to gain an awareness of it's origin & specific cause for being. Blind faith, I believe means it doesn't matter what your belief is, as long as you go with something that's been started, so there really is no integrity or feedback mechanism of purpose to it, & no point of rest or true origin. Similar to blind allegiance, or joining something without just cause, just following aimlessly.

In the New Testament , Paul says ," We live by faith and not by sight .

True faith is believing in something you can't see, but have evidence for. Blind faith is believing without evidence.

I would say no...true faith and blind faith is similar to each other..

True Faith is dedication to your beliefs because you did the proper research to make a "conclusion" in what you have faith in or why you are faithful. Blind Faith is ignorance of dedication without checking the proper references and thinking your reference are good(i.e. Atheism).

We come to Faith Blinded. By exercising it we begin to see. By living it, Our sight is restored.

Blind Faith is the Seeding of Belief. In someone or something You do not yet Know or See! After you have experiences or after the thing in question is focused upon on you are able to see or see It more clearly.

The blind shall lead the blind and they shall both fall in unto the ditch. Study the scripture to show Thy self approved. We walk by Faith and Not by Sight.

We are lead by faith one step at a time. So it always appears that we are Blind. If the enemy Knows what you Know then you are failed, But If you know not until the appointed Time then You are VICTORIOUS!

If GOD be with You Who could Stand Against You? God Shall Never Forsake You Or Leave You! Take s Hand and Make A Stand!

Be not Afraid. He Goes before You Always. Faith of any kind is trust with a belief in an outcome.

And dying in Faith is not a bad thing, but Knowing How to Walk is a better thing! Faith! Either you have It!

Or You Do Not! Hope this Clears It Up for You Some. Donnie/ Sinbad the Sailor Man.

There is a huge difference, a lot of cults will have such followers based on 'brainwashing' & control over the individual.

Not really. Faith in any god is blind as there is no real reason to think one exists. If ones faith is in "something beyond" that is indescribable then it is equally unfounded because it is too vague to be called a god.So my first question about any faith is what exactly is your god?

All "end of the world" predictions are pure BS. They have been made since the dawn of time and will be made by fools till the end finally comes,,, from something else.

I absolutely believe there is a difference. In blind faith you believe simply because you are told to or it is all you know. I think true faith comes from a personal journey, one that involves questioning, searching and finally coming to terms because it is what is in your heart rather than what is in your mind.

Its not necessary that there be difference between true and blind faith - it depends upon the followers of any religion or cult to believe it blindly or test the validity of it logically. There have been billions of people who were and still are Muslims, Christians etc for their parents were so. While minuscule number of followers of any cult go out of the way testing their religions with the help of logic and other such instruments of that sort.

I believe that blind faith is more powerful then true faith, true faith insists that you have all the answers you are looking for and none are doubtful or negative, blind faith is insight of the unanswered questions and doubtful perceptions, you put your trust in god to guide you.

The different views and dissonant philosophies I read here inspired me to make a hub about your thought-provoking question. Hope this helps hubpages.com/hub/How-to-Tell-If-Your-Faith.

I would have to say yes. I went to a Christian high school and during my high school years I began to look into the possibility of Mary Magdalene's true role in Jesus's life. In doing so, many of my "friends" said I was diving into a cult and said that I was not a Christian because I questioned things.

They would randomly throw out Bible verses that made no sense when taken out of context because that was all they knew to do. They had faith, but it was blind and afraid to search for real answers because it might be different from what they believe. The more you question, the closer you grow to God ... or at least I did.

All faith is blind, because faith is believing without seeing/knowing. Even with prayer, you have faith that what you pray for will come to pass, but you don't really know-- God may decide that it's not right for you and you'll get something else, or he'll make you wait for it.

No - they are the same thing. At least in my opinion anyway. I'm sure the people involved would disagree.

Well, let us first think of what the word "faith" means. To me, it means believing in something without question because you feel it emotionally, and/or intuitively, or because there is tangible evidence provided. Also, I feel that true faith involves questioning in regards to a higher power, whatever/whomever an individual believes in.

Not in the aspect of is there a God? But more of how/why did God to this, that, or the other thing? Blind faith, to me, is acceptance without question or logic based on the person as an individual.

But, that's just my opinion =).

I think true faith is dynamic - it's always growing, searching, seeking, questioning, and even doubting, but it's never static...I think it's part of our nature as beings that grow and change over time and with each new experience, that we constantly have to figure out ways to make sense of our experience in the context of our beliefs, or make sense of our beliefs in the context of our experience. Some of the best examples I've seen of how faith and experience are in conversation with each other have been from literature - it's often easier to see how this works when you can examine the arc of a character's life than in one's own life, when it's hard to see outside of the present moment. I recently read and reviewed a great book with this theme of faith and experience: Caleb's Crossing, by Geraldine Brooks.

You can read my review at hubpages.com/hub/Book-Review-Calebs-Crossin I'd love to know what other people think of this idea of faith as dynamic!

Faith is believing in things you have not yet seen.

True faith is blind faith. Having faith means that you trust in whomever you believe that the situation will work out. You may not know how, but you have faith it will.

Faith is blind hope. It's that simple.

True faith sometime demands for action against you where blind faith is just believing without knowing.

I believe true faith comes from knowing things first hand. Blind faith is more or less having no knowledge of something. I think many of us come to know GOD through someone else's faith, which I don't necessarily think is a bad thing.

When we know someone well enough to put our faith in what they say or believe, after a certain amount of time, we begin to understand why they believe as they do, thus, leading to our own faith something such as GOD.

It's belief in something without definitive proof of whether it is the truth or not. Faith is the step we make beyond what we know. Philip K.

Dick said 'Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away.

A difficult questioni cannot answer what is true faith because I don’t believe I have it, I simply have faith, I test it with my logic, my experiences make it stronger, I have my faith without being afraid to ask questions, for me my faith, logic, math and science are not without each otherblind faith on the other hand is simply believing without questioning, even when logic, when calculations, when experience is against it simply because this is what we grew up with then there is also blind rejectionclosing our minds rejecting one thing at first then moving on to rejecting basically every thinggod, aliens, dimension, spirituality, moreso how is blind faith different from blind rejectioni don’t think it iswe stick to what we know in our little box and that’s it.

I recently met a young lady who can sing like I have never heard! She is about 15, cute, friendly, and just a nice girl. Only difference between her and other girls her age, besides her voice, is her eyes.

She is blind. Now, take another teenage girl, put them next to each other. What's the difference between the two?

One can see and one can't. Which one then would have the more genuine faith? The one who can see to walk, or the one who walks in darkness trusting someone else.

True faith is believing after you have see it or you know it. Blind faith is believing what somebody other had told you about it. One should definately have true faith and less blind faith.

God i'm so tired, do all my work for me today. God give me strength to work today cos i'm so tiredWhich one is blind faith?

Yes, true faith is having faith in oneself, blind faith is a feeling of overwhelming safety.

I think that there is. Blind faith is believing without really understanding what or why you believe that particular idea. True faith is understanding what you believe and knowing why it is important to you, and then walking your life out in a way to honor that.

Faith is faith. Its a deep feeling. If we feel it no one can change it wether blind or whatever.

Blind faith IS something that others notice all we know IS that we have faith in whatever thing we feel faith in . Its kind of mystifying wow such a tough question man. Well thats what I feel thankyou.......

Having faith in God means you trust m 100% and you don't doubt the things He does in your life.

Yes. Blind faith involves being told something and never questioning it, but simply following it because it is truth. It also typically involves defensiveness on the part of the believer regarding any inconsistencies or anything that cannot definitively be explained.

Truth faith involves questioning and recognizing the limits of your beliefs. It involves examining your conception of truth and amending when you find errors. It involves being comfortable with the limitations of your beliefs, and still choosing to hold them despite the deficiencies that you acknowledge to be there.

It's one of those irregular verbs I have true faith you have blind faith they're delusional.

I have true faith, I have had things happen to me, that are incredible. My sister passed away 3 years ago. Til this day, I have a hard time looking at her picture without my eyes watering-up.

I have another sister and the three of us did a lot together. The night my sister was going to pass, I put my head on her chest and asked her to please talk to Mother Mary and have her please send me a sign that my sister was okay. On the morning of her funeral, I was getting ready in the bathroom and all of a sudden I could smell roses, it was like a full bouquet of roses.(For those of you who don't know, Mother Mary (The Virgin Mary), is known for roses.

I hadn't put any lotion on my body, so I know it wasn't that. I just kept breathing in the fragrance and started to cry. I looked-up and said "Thank you Mother Mary".

I walked into the other bathroom and once again, I could smell the roses. I was overwhelmed. I felt such a peaceful feeling come over me.

Then, at the funeral the priest asked if anyone would like to say a few words about my sister. It was like someone shoved me out of my seat. I could hear my other sister, who was sitting in back of me say, "I don't believe she is going to speak".

I had a cold and cough, I could barely speak two words with out coughing. I got up there, at first I was a little nervous and then I just started talking about my sister. If you knew me, you would know, this is something that I would never have done.

I figured my sister said, "Someone is going to say something about me", and picked me. I sat down and that is when I began to shake. When we flew home and were outside of the airport waiting for someone to pick us up, I started thinking about my sister and started to cry.

All of a sudden, I could smell the roses again. This time, even my husband could smell them. Right now writing this, tears are streaming down my face.

I thought I had faith before this, but, now I really have faith. I have had more episodes regarding my sister over the years. Thank you for listening.petsareagift.comconsentino.

I think true faith is from God and blind faith is from human.

For me true faith is your faith in your religion and how you hold to what you believe. I also believe that blind faith is just another way for people to say taht they are trusting someone about something, ex: "I'm leaving it to blind faith that you really will do that for me" Nothing really religious about blind faith to me, just a term used for trust. Theses are just my opinions though :).

The difference is in that : there is no such thing as true faith coz for example when we have faith in god or afterlife if you like, there is no way we could label that faith as true as we will never be able to verify it. On the other hand blind faith consists in us believing in smth regardless of reason , and even contrary to reason sometimes . Blind faith is not considered healthy generally and I myself hold the same belief .

In a religious point of view, true faith is believing in someone and putting that belief into action. A Catholic person for example believes that there is a God and because of that he does pray and care for others. On the other hand, blind faith means believing in someone but not putting that belief into action.

Example is a Catholic person that believes the 10 commandments was given by God to Moses as guidance or rules to humanity but takes it for granted and not put it into action.

That can be viewed in so many ways. Faith is something that is unseen, but hope for,I say no there isnt no diffrence, Between true faith and blind faith.

It is the same. When you know something, you don't need to believe, because you KNOW. But there are some people who say they know, but it's only blind faith.

Your definition of blind faith is a bit different from how I would define it. In a sense, prayer, reflection and meditation is still blind in that it trust the unseen that may go against what our other senses are telling us.

Yes. Going blindly even in faith is nonsensical and plain stupidity. It's actually what's going on with the world lately."religious" people making non-religious folks scared about what's to come.

I think it's not right and very much uncalled for. True faith is being knowledgeable about what you believe in. Knowing in your heart that no matter what other people say or do, what you believe in stand out above the rest because it's not only logical but it's also realistic.

There is nothing wrong in having blind faith as far as the person in whom you are having the faith is not blind . Then the faith automatically becomes true faith!

No. I think no matter the qualifier used, faith must have a large element of blindness to it, or else it's not faith. After all, faith is the belief in, and acceptance of, things unseen but taken to be true, although with no absolute knowledge and evidence that they are in fact true.

If I know something is true, faith is irrelevant. If I see and hear a duck quacking in front of me--I don't need to have faith that ducks quack. I know that ducks quack.

I guess you might say that for faith to be true faith it must be blind.

Dear Readers I ain't a philosopher or theologists but I've got my own concept of answer to the question of curiosity above. Certainly I am sure there are many who would liked an answer to the most inner personal questions they have. Just begin from your self, deep thoughts about your genetic makeup, how dose it comes in to existence?

Where the living source or the soul is coming in to being and how dose it get extinguished when death arrives? If you can't resist the nature of your own self, the question of being self created subsides (Blind faith). That's a brief answer to the nature of true faith.

However it dose not end here as you must understand how to discover the fundamentals and basics of this phenomenon to put in to best practice . Believe is an another expression for faith. You can't believe in anything unless you have proof of it's true reality.

Even in a court of justice you are unlikely to get any justice without evidence and proof. Therefore your own judgement need same fundamental backup, in order to determine the difference, you must at least identity one of it, either blind faith or true faith. Since many people interprets blind faith as "favoring the opinion of the majority" (a practice without evidence and proof).

The law to the physical and mental exercise of the acceptance or recognition of true faith, one must need to search the theory of faith or religion, or what ever you called it. There you could find the do's & dont's. Without do's & dont's, you have no limit of your animal behavior or social conduct in order to be civilized, in terms comparison to animals and other creatures in the creation.

Without such civilization we are not in a position to govern "men or his surroundings" This law of conduct is recorded in the history of the world. To identify, practice and acknowledge it is so called True faith. Everything you see, hear touch and feel are created.

But the power you trust is the one who brought all above in to existence! "The power of your thoughts estimate only if you trust the Creator rather than the creations.

True faith vs. Blind faith. Technically, all faith is blind. Faith is "the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."

Heb 11:1In other words, what you get from having faith is...faith. And faith is what keeps the world going. It is faith in the possibility of a better world in our collective and individual future that causes people to choose order over chaos and anarchy.

But none of us can know the future can we? We can never know what our hard work, or lack of hard work, today will yield tomorrow. The difference between blind faith and "true faith" is really the difference between science/religion and spirituality.

True faith is something you believe will happen because you have seen it happen before. We do things "religiously" like going to the church/temple/mosque because we have seen and heard and felt good things in these places that we probably carried with us through the rest of the day or week. We learned something about how to treat others, how to treat ourselves, how to view events, etc.That inspired us to treat others better, treat ourselves better, or view events more clearly.

So the practicioner of that "faith" "religiously" goes back to the church or synagogue or temple or mosque again. We exercise religiously because we have faith that we will be better off from doing so. Blind faith is believing in something all people cannot see.

Perhaps certain people believe they can "see" heaven or the afterlife or even God but the overwhelming majority of us cannot. We can see what we believe is the evidence of God or the "Hand of God" in events, nature, people, etc.But we simply cannot see beyond what we are able to apprehend with our senses. We can Imagine seeing God or perhaps being dead and in heaven or hell.

But we cannot actually visit God or heaven or hell in the same way we can go visit a friend or go to sleep and have either sweet dreams or nightmares.An atheist believes there is no God. "A" plus"theist" equals no God or without God. A "theist" believes in a God, just maybe not YOUR God.An atheist has blind faith there is no God.

An agnostic denies real knowledge of God in the empirical sense. "A" plus"gnostic" (gnosis means knowledge) equals no experience of God. The agnostic can be open to the possibility of an experience of God.

True faith is believing in spite of the situation, in spite of the circumstances. David walked in faith when he entered into a battlefield to face down Goliath, an experienced and armored giant warrior. He exercised his faith by believing that God would give him the victory even though every natural and military law would have marked him for dead.

Blind faith is dangerous because it can ignore common sense. True faith is trusting in Someone other than yourself. Blind faith is believing when all rationality is against it.

David had true faith because he trusted in God and he knew God was stronger than Goliath. Blind faith would have been David walking into the arena to face Goliath with no weapon and no backup and still believing that he would win just because he thought he could not be defeated. How can you win without weapons?

Even God used the sling in David's hand. Blind faith is like the story of the man who refused to be rescued three times because he said God would rescue him. He died and went to Heaven and asked God why didn't you saved me?

I believed you were going to save me. God responded, "I tried three times. " True faith can get you victory.

Blind faith can get you killed.

To me, true faith is convicting...it has the power to suddenly change us and the paths we choose forever. Blind faith is that inner voice you hear deep inside telling us to find true faith. You can almost hear it say go on, fear not...close your eyes...hold your breath...and take that leap to find what is true.

True faith to me is living God's Word. Blind faith gives us courage to find What is it to you?

All faith is blind! And lol to 'the May 21, end of the world forecast. ' I don't think that we should be constantly trying to find the date that this world will end.

Why would we? Are we to live our lives poorly until that date? We should let the world end when it ends and dedicated the time we have to being, loving, kind, and cooperative with each other.

Sticky question for sure. In my mind, no. I have studied the bible as an historical document, not a religious one.

From my view they are the same.

Yes,there is a difference true faith think from mind as well as from heart where as blind faith always think from heart only.

True faith is that which you know in your heart to be true. All else is blind faith, including science & logic derived from sense data. As a physicist I know how thin this veil we call reality really is.

Current understandings holds that all observation effects the observed. Meaning it is impossible to know what was. Even logic itself has proved that no complete logic system can be consistent.(see Gödel's incompleteness theorems) Sense data is even more flawed given that they are based on neurontic interpretation of biological processes.

I am outraged at the number on this forum assuming that blind belief in science & logic is somehow not blind. Of course, to blindly believe someone else's interpretation of all this only adds the possibility of even more inaccuracies! Believe your own heart my friends, that's all there truly is.

Yes there are many differences between true faith and blind faith true faith is that when you come to know about some thing and measure it by your mind and when it full fills your all thinking it become a true faith and when ever you just follow any thing with out measuring it. It means that you have a blind faith on it.

I think true faith is when believing in GOD or when you pray and meditate,while blind faith means believing in gods and not good in prayers.

A big different between two types of faith. Blind faith is to believe on the religion blindly. No experiment, no question, no suggestion and no further addition.

Believe the religious Book blindly. That's all. True Faith: define in to two ways:Blind faith is also a kind of true faith.

When you accept the religion with believe. It means, you belongs to a religion, on which you have a faith. It is no more blind.

I am still looking for the true faith. True faith,you can not get from religions. You do not need to have any faith normally .

I exist, the God exist. We have created a God and make the mankind unhappy. It is beyond our thinking, beyond the capacity of our brain to use to find a invisible power, how he looks like.So, true faith does not exist as far as you do not see the creator.

True faith can only be understood in a spiritual context, because the Bible where the word faith was found, and something that only the spiritual man can have. The natural man can not see. There needs to be awakened and let go of things here and remember a Power greater than he, the God.So it is possible believe.

Blind faith can be seen in many ways .. Gullibility, over-reliance on someone or something. But true faith is what gives fruits and moves mountains, either problems or people, or even things. I've heard that a storm that departed from a place in southern Brazil because people were there praying with faith, fervently.

Faith in God or anything, needs to believe that will happen with some basis in reality, a point of basis. Otherwise, should be blind faith that makes someone believe in something that may be hurting herself and or others. Blind faith could be called the presumption ... What is very dangerous.

May we have always the true faith and firm.

True and blind faith are two sides of a coin. True faith comes from trust, truth and strength of a relationship and blind faith is something where you scare to see the truth of a scenario or you do not want to know the truth because you are scared of getting pain.

When you neglect the difference between right and wrong thats your blind faith but on the contrary when you oversee a wrong as wrong and right as right thats true faith.

Hebrews 11:1. Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things unseen. True faith is the belief of things even if you cannot see it.

I agree that it comes from prayer, meditation, and reading of the Word. Blind faith is just belief in something, but you don't really believe it. You won't pray, you won't meditate.

With blind faith, you have no idea what you are doing, just believing. This can be good in some cases, but it generally not very beneficial.

There's a vast though invisible difference between them which is distinguished by the intelligence of your mind. If you are not using it then its your blind faith.

True faith is the only one we have for God. Blind faith has no hope..

People can have faith in their own religion, yet still be willing to engage with those who have different religious beliefs, or no beliefs at all, without the fear of hearing other valid views. It also means a willingness to examine one's own beliefs, and even to change them. Blind faith means believing in your religion, in spite of evidence which might suggest that something you believe in may not be supported by fact.

People with blind faith are unwilling to engage in debate with those of differing views, and sometimes even claim that anyone with different views is working for Satan.

Personal conviction, if accompanies by reason and awareness, is true faith. If it is just a make believe or self-imposed logic of philosophy, it is blind faith. Conviction coming ONLY from personal experience is true faith.

Another way to test faith is logic. If you really have faith in something, logic and debates won't shake you. True faith is beyond that.

Faith is used to describe belief in things that can't be proven. I think there is no distinction between true and blind faith. To me, it's all the same.

True faith possessed by the persons that do's great deed's to others, not in public. (helping others without broadcasting about it in the public) also those persons that serves others loves their neighbors, most specially their family. While the blind faith are those people that help others in the front of the public, knowing the fact that they wanted to be seen as a good person to the face of others.

Blind faith also possessed by those person that goes to church yet do ridiculous things to others. Remember faith means love. God wants us to love each other, in that thing you can prove that your faith reaches to highest heights.

This was a band that Eric Clapton - 'The Guitar God' was in years ago - Blind Faith. They say you should walk by Faith not by Sight. I believe you must have a total complete faith - a full confidence in the Lord God to go out into any situation of this world and be assured that HE will ultimately be with you and guide you through whatever encounter you may have good, bad or evil.

I think they are to very different things. Blind faith is trusting because your told too but not examining it any further. True faith is questioning but discovering why you are faithful and believe.

Problem: I was answering the question Is there a difference between true faith and blind faith and suddenly my work disappeared and I got a message about it being saved so I could use it in a new hub. I meant to submit it not save it.

Religion is a drug anyway. So, it does not matter whether you take this drug consciously or not.

True faith and blind faith I believe have two different meanings. True faith in the sense of what you believe in, and blind faith being an action word more so that I will have blind faith in such and such.. :).

True faith is believing in yourself and other people. Blind faith is believing in a god of some kind or another.

True faith is an informed decision; blind faith is a coercive decision.

I without a doubt think that there is difference between blind faith and true faith. Faith is where what we put stock into. It is where we place our hope and trust.

True faith can only come from a personal relationship with the one in which we place that. Blind faith is more like a wish or a chance. True faith comes from knowing who and what and why we believe and are willing to place our trust there.

Faith is true only if, one experiences the fidelity of the entity or almighty.

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.
