Here’s a list of FAQs about faith and what God says about them:
Given that different religions and denominations often have varying interpretations of faith and God’s will as expressed in their respective scriptures, and recognizing that many people struggle to reconcile faith with reason, particularly in light of scientific advancements and philosophical arguments against the existence of God or the validity of religious claims, can you answer these FAQs from a theologically neutral perspective, focusing primarily on common threads and underlying principles found across major world religions regarding the nature of faith, its role in individual lives, and its relationship to concepts like doubt, reason, and morality? Furthermore, for each FAQ, please provide direct scriptural quotes or references (without explicitly favoring one religion over another) that illustrate common themes regarding the question. The goal is to create a resource accessible to anyone seeking a better understanding of faith, regardless of their existing beliefs or lack thereof.
