The nature and purpose of faith

The nature of faith is choosing to believe, the purpose of faith is to keep our supposedly immortal souls safe and good.

The concept of the Abrahamic God certainly exists. Faith is choosing to believe in Him rather than not.

The concept of the Abrahamic God is supreme over any idea because it is impossible to conceive of an entity more powerful than the Abrahamic God. Choosing to believe in Him presupposes a desire to obey His laws, and choosing not to believe in Him presupposes a desire not to obey His laws.

If we wish to obey God's laws, then it would help us to obey His laws better and for longer if we believe in the Abrahamic God who knows our hearts and minds. If we choose not to obey His laws, it would make sense for us not to believe in Him or else we would be forever looking our shoulders fearing His punishment.

Rabbi Mizrachi on faith

The excellent Rabbi Mizrachi talks about how curiosity killed the cat and tells a story about the dating game.  Curious? Then listen to him talk about Adam and Eve and how curiosity is a double-edged sword.  What I love about Judaism is its rabbis and its curious rules. https://t.co/Ty9gFPNmfD

Rabbi Mizrachi denounces rabbis who hide the mental illness of Jews who should not be allowed to marry Jewish women. https://t.co/Ty9gFPNmfD

Rabbi Mizrachi denounces Jews who try to marry their useless bum of a son or their mentally ill brother to some unfortunate Jewish woman to take him off their hands. His rabbi should therefore be consulted on the matter of his suitability as husband and father. https://t.co/epIjkhEiSN

According to the Mishna, Adam was off-hand and rude to God when He confronted him about eating from the Tree of Knowledge: "Sure I did it, and I'll do it again." Now that is interesting. Adam knew God would have to put up with curious humans cos that was how He created them. https://t.co/Ty9gFPNmfD

The issue of Trust in a matriarchy

Chief Rabbi:

"Faith, at least Jewish faith, means having trust in one another, and that trust being based on trust in God."

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-23825465

Do the British have trust in one another?

Do the British trust their political leaders?

Do women trust each other?

Do men trust women?

If women run Britain, would this tend to increase or decrease trust the British have in one another?

How can you tell if women run Britain, or, in other words, that women have more power over men?

By the fact that so many men are afraid to criticise immoral women ie SSMs https://www.facebook.com/pages/Are-Spinster-Single-Mums-a-burden-on-the-state/417696111659379 and refuse even to discuss the subject.

We know who is in power by those we cannot criticise.

The importance of understanding abstract ideas

1. Marriage 
2. Morality
3. Tradition
4. Principle 
5. Justice
6. Liberty
7. Faith
8. Honour
9. Reason
10. the long term national interest

Imagine Cameron and his advisers and cronies attempting to write a decent essay about each of these topics, explaining what they are, what they are for, and what they have done to promote it.   

Do you think they would pass this test with flying colours or would they fail to even write a coherent paragraph?

Faith and Reason; Faith v Reason

Is it reasonable to have faith? Should we have faith in reason? Whether we believe in God or not, surely we should have faith in the future and faith in our convictions?

Our convictions must surely be in accordance with Truth, Reason and Reality or they will not withstand the wear and tear of Truth, Reason and Reality.

If God is omnipotent, omniscient, eternal and unique, then He must surely also incorporate Truth, Reason and Reality.

On this point perhaps atheists and monotheists can agree: that whether we believe in God or not, we must inevitably submit to Truth, Reason and Reality.

Which might conceivably make us all Muslim originally, without realising it ...

A disturbing thought for some, no doubt.
