Faith is largely misunderstood. It’s thought to be a concept rather than reality. In fact, many Christians spend more time in make-believe faith than in real faith. Real faith is always initiated by God. The Holy Spirit reveals and teaches. If we are listening, God imparts His faith. God imparts His Divine certainty. This Divine certainty is absolute proof of the thing that God said.
Given the problem of the Münchausen trilemma, faith is the only way that anything can be known. Without faith, everything is opinion. If everything is opinion, then whoever has power is able to force others to bow to their opinions. Might makes right. This is why Secularists want control of educating other people’s children. They want to use power to enforce their opinions.
