Is faith, by definition, blind?

[tonychanyt]

See What is the difference between faith and blind faith in God's word?

 

[AV1611VET]

All 3 verses indicate that faith is not-seen. Is faith by definition not-seen?

Are you talking about being seen by way of the optic nerves?

If God says it, that is sufficient reason for me to believe it. God does not lie. I don't need any more evidence to believe. I don't mind having blind faith in God's word.

If that's what you want to call it, go ahead.

It's the OBJECT OF YOUR FAITH that makes the difference.

Genesis 2:

16 And the Lord God commanded the man, “You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; 17but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die.”​

What reason did Adam have to believe this warning?

Faith.

Romans 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
