"Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen."

Atheist claim: there are no deities

Atheists know that this claim can never be proven or evidenced in anyway. It is a claim that exists only in the absence of evidence, and if you close your eyes tight enough, you’ll never see any evidence and your claim will be safe.

Thus, the atheist claim is a hope of something unprovable and therefore will always be unseen. It is the very definition of "unseen".

Wrong, oh maker of Straw Wh*res; Atheist position: Due to there being no evidence for any deities, I do not believe in any of them.

The Burden Of Proof applies to the affirmative claimants for a thing; IE, Theists. So far, AbZero from those lunatics…

he used to post his lyrics on here for people to comment on all the time. he loved writing silly raps and bein his crazy self,
and not that long ago i moved away and let him go. and i know how he goes on here and reads peoples shi*t so i figured i might get lucky and hel see what i did, i dont rap. i never have written a rap. its just he wont answer the phone and i cant get ahold of him. i just want him to know im thinking about him and i still love him, and maybe hed be proud that i tried this for him and hel call me. hel know its me if he see this.i just wish we could make the dreams we used to have come true.

i dialed your number back home, smiled at the phone, hoping you would answer cuz im feelin
all alone, but it didnt even ring, i just got a dial tone, you mustve changed your number,so i guess im on my own, &i guess youl never know that i regret letting go, all i can think about is how we coulda grown and how i struggled so hard through every fight, and tried not to go to sleep mad at night, you were my first love and now your out of sight, everything we had is gone dispite how hard we both tried to make it right, if i had one wish it’d be to see us reunite, but all i can do is close my eyes & go back to the time when we were 16, back when our future was so unseen, sneakin over to my window, we could kiss between the screen, you told me i was beautiful,u built my self esteem, you said you got my back n now we were a team, you held me when i cried, you were my everything.

i still love you. if you see this call my phone, i havent changed my number yet since i moved.
lol @ jimmy- all i gotta say is F*CK A HATER
at least i tried.

Awww I would love to seee the outcome of this love story

anything more than what the dictionary says about FAITH = A belief about something or someone. How does what the bibles idea of faith is become a magical tool where the dictionary’s definition is not a magical tool?

Its in the Holy Bible.

Hebrews 11:1-6
SDA

Crumbling tenements surround
Gray lives, hope unseen,
a pick up game
chain linked, fence broken down
a crumbling court where they contort
fouls denied as were bruises
worn as badges after.
She, so young, clung to the metal
of her wish, "A girl, No way, GO!"
Rusted rim, sagging
net long gone, memories haunt
as hero’s once, watched
young boys chiding
deriding, the strategy

"You think you got me?"

A slam, a tooth displaced,
bloodied lips smiled to play,
reverence in the moment disregarded
abandoned long, a field of honor
reclaimed by the nameless
in passed down Converse,
leaving imprints on the heated
blacktop, they’d be back,
so would she, leaving a bicycle pump
with a needle for the ball,
losing it’s dribble,
on the warped bench.
She called out "Thanks"
as she went on her way.

Not dodgeball, "K"…a li’l hoop, mebbe! Dallas, love, you did a sparkling dark depiction of the neighborhood, before ever getting into the game, and then the player. What awesome projection, could almost work as a director’s summary as they introduce the trailer being shot to advertise another mean streets movie, with a young woman heroine at its core!

You nailed this honey!

P.S. at this point i dont care if i look desperate or whatever,

so im tryin to last possible thing i know.

aight. F*ck a hater
lol miss luhvlee we didnt meet on here, but while we together he always went on here.
we met at a halloween party in 08

You should make it a song not just lyrics :’) i hope he sees it

God wants to show us his greatness, God wants to show us his love
His mercy is as wide as the oceans his faithfulness as the heavens above
He sends his angels to watch over us, he sacrificed his only son,
And despite our evil ways, he loves us after all we’ve done
He created us all individually and gave us all a desire
And put us to rule over the nations to conquer his empire
What more do you need to see the mercy of God, what more to prove that God is Great
The substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things unseen and that my friends is faith

I wrote this for someone who needed to be encouraged …. Was it you?
If this helps I’m 15…. I could use a little motivation in the art of poetry;)

Thank you very much

"His mercy is as wide as the oceans. . . " Indeed it is.

May God Bless you, my friend.

Faith is real and undeniable! Christians are evidence and witness to this fact.

Faith being real is then evidence or even proof of things unseen!

Hebrews 11:1
New International Version (©1984)
Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.
The majority of you have jumped beyond the question! It is simple!
LETS TRY IT THIS WAY!

1.. I HAVE FAITH, I KNOW FAITH IS REAL AND EXISTS.
2. I HAVE FAITH IN THINGS I CAN NOT SEE – NOT THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN PROVEN WRONG (SANTA CLAUS)
3. I AM EVIDENCE THAT THINGS UNSEEN DO EXIST!

To compare this to Santa clause is nothing more than RED HERRING! If all you can do is apply illogical red herring type of answers please don’t. To compare what i have faith in and know 100% is real to a character associated with gift giving and is known myth is not comparing like entities.
@unknown – No- ARE YOU MENTALLY COMPETENT? YOUR STATEMENT IS AN ARGUMENT BY NON SEQUITER AND MAKES NO SENSE!!
EVIDENCE THAT THINGS UNSEEN CAN EXIST!!! THAT’S IT!!! THINK BEFORE ANSWERING!

DON’T PUT WORDS IN MY MOUTH!

11:1
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Yes that is right.

(((Crazyworld)))

the name of the poem is called who Am I

am i the childless child who don’t got no hope for a better future? you come here bomb us and kill us while telling the people you are here to liberate us. From what the oil we have and you need to run your country? Am i the next generation of targets who you call enemy’s of the people who are now trying to free its people? From the corrupted regimes you put in it places to oppress us? When or if i become a teenager would i become another
victim of this unseen war which is called liberation.?

Well I think at one point in time we all feel this way. So the poem will definitely make an impact on many people. But can you answer this one? When has the War Really ended?
From as along as I can remember there always has been war. It just depends on how we look at the World. World War one, World War 2, The Genocide under the Nazis, The cold war, The Gulf war, The Korean War, I could just go on and on, but you see my point the War has never really ended.
We have war all over the world. It comes basically from Hatred and Racism. We just can’t get along no matter how we see things. So as for your poem it does hit on many points in life and it could be good if you make some adjustments to it.

This question is based on the novel "A Hope in the Unseen".

she likes antiques

just wondering.

But that’s the whole point about charity; it must be done without expectation of reward from any source.

Otherwise, there’s no real charity. Charity recognizes someone else’s need – not our own. Anything other than this and there are strings attached.
