1 John 5:9-15-- The Testimony of God


Scripture: 1 John 5:9-15

I once received an anonymous email asking about the Christian value and view of faith. The nonreligious sender, who had clearly been influenced by nonreligious sources, was under the impression that religious people valued thoughtless, "blind" faith--that we celebrated the "unreasonableness" or irrationality of our worldview. It wasn't that he thought that we avoided  science or philosophy out of a fear of being wrong, but that we would be happy for science to contradict our beliefs, since it would mean our faith was somehow stronger.
