I dont know, and I dont have to decide. For me it will always be and need to be that Jesus Christ is Lord and Savior. Was your motive for asking that question similar, or what do you think generally? @SpiritRealmInvestigator | |
| Jul 21, 2021 at 20:45 | comment | added | Al Brown | 1/2 @SpiritRealmInvestigator SRI, Saw your question in Christianity and dont have enough points there to comment there. I wonder if your question is part of a larger wondering similar to the following thinking: I sometimes think there is a triune God, including a Christ aspect, and there was a human named Jesus. Then for a Westerner, it is impossible to reject Christ without rejecting this aspect of the divine, but for someone raised in India, it is possible. All schools of Hinduism discuss a spirit “Guru”. They say yours can be Krishna or Vishnu or Lord Christ (yes they know Christ). | |

It's an equivocation to confuse confidence in propositions (faith) with confidences in a supernatural power (Faith). You might also read about the Agrippan Trilemma to understand the relationship of arguments and the certainty of propositions. | |

| Nov 3, 2020 at 19:23 | comment | added | Paul Ross | Most of the above commentors are assuming a platonistic interpretation of Axioms. I think an alternative "schematic" understanding of what an Axiom is, borrowing from the Hilbert interpretation for Mathematics, might help, and will try to formulate an answer unless anyone else beats me to it! | |

| Nov 3, 2020 at 14:14 | comment | added | Mauro ALLEGRANZA | Basically, the scientific method is based on "provisional assumptions" about the way the world is and the way we may know it. These assumptions can be revised, according to the evidence that scientific experience and discoveries provide. | |
| Nov 3, 2020 at 12:40 | comment | added | user37981 | This may not be the proper venue (question) for this comment. But even though on this site 'belief' is treated as somehow synonymous with something which is 'true', it just doesn't square. Belief always contains an element of subjectivity. My understanding is that linking the Greek term for belief and the contemporary usage is mixing apples and oranges. The contemporary version is a diminution of the term because 'certainty' is no longer considered possible. Truth and belief are two completely different concepts. Even the Greek term has a lingering sense of 'belief' in the gods. | |

| Nov 3, 2020 at 9:02 | comment | added | Conifold | Depends on what you mean by "faith". If it merely means "confidence and trust" then faith is required even to not bump into chairs when moving through your room, especially in the dark, when you have to believe that they are still there and behave like they normally do. There is induction on uniformity there already. | |
