Yes ... generally christians believe in those things which they have not seen.
We have seen signs of the promises, but not the promises themselves ...

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

We have seen signs of the promises, but not the promises themselves ...
Certainly, Jesus' works, in His day, ... were "signs" of His larger promises.
Healing the sick, giving sight to the blind, feeding the hungry ... were all "signs" of His promise of reconciliation with ... and adoption ... of those who believe.
Similarly, in our time, giftings of peace, healing, recovery, and spiritual enlightenment ... are signs of His ultimate promises.

How about the testimony of two witnesses would establish the truth (John 8:17) .
Jesus presents two witnesses of who he is:
1) testimony of himself--his miracles
2) testimony of his Father (John 5:37) in Matthew 3:17, Matthew 17:5.
