Faith only comes one way:

Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the [spoken] word of God. Romans 10.17

Still not answering the question.
It seems this could be an answer to the question "how does faith come about?", but unfortunatly, that's not at all what I asked.

What I asked was: if not through evidence, then how do you find out of faith A or faith B is correct. How do you find out if any one of them is correct?

If your opinion is that it is impossible to find out if faith based beliefs are accurate or not, then that too is a valid answer to my question.

Don't bother replying unless it is to actually answer the question.

Like I said, God Himself has to tell you.

Circular nonsense, is not a valid or acceptable answer to the question either.

Basically, what you are saying here is that "you believe it". Full stop.
How do you know it's correct? "because I believe it is correct because i believe that god told me it is and god is real because it's in the bible and i believe the bible. So my beliefs about my beliefs are correct, because I believe them to be correct"

That's how you sound right now.

It reminds me of the British song from WW1:

We're here because we're here because we're here because we're here......

Romans 8:16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:

If it helps, call it Boolean Logic.

We are body, soul, and spirit.

When the soul = 1 and the spirit =1, then God's information flows and enlightens us.

Is the body 1 or 0? And what does "soul = 1" mean? Doesn't sound very logical to me.

How well does it reflect on you when you claim to be interested in God’s unchangeable truth, yet you won’t answer a clear simple question about your education?

What does my education have to do with what is actually written in Genesis? Answer: Nothing. I have been online for many years and I have seen one's education used to dismiss another's view because they don't have as much education as their opponent. Since I have God's Word which agrees with today's Science and History, I have no need to play silly games with those who THINK that man's education has more bearing on the Truth than God's Holy Word.

What are you talking about? A story that has to be reinterpreted after the fact does not count.

Try to get Genesis to agree with science and history. You cannot, no matter how much you try to reinterpret what is actually written. A good example is the fact that the first Human traits (farming, city building, etc) is found in the area of the mountains of Ararat and dated at only 11k years ago. Map: Fertile Cresent, 9000 to 4500 BCE This historic evidence destroys the false ToE which CANNOT tell us When and Where prehistoric people changed into modern Humans.

No, just no.

Why are you afraid of the actual evidence of when Humans arrived on this Earth. For more than 6 million years, prehistoric people lived as animals, in caves or any hole they could find. SUDDENLY, 11k years ago, Human farming which led to modern Human civilization appeared in the Fertile Crescent where God tells us Noah arrived.

We evolved on his world.

False, since we descended with modifications from Adam, who lived and died on the first world which was made the SECOND Day. Genesis 1:8 Our cosmos was not made until the THIRD Day. Genesis 2:4 Only those who REJECT God's Truth believe your incomplete view of our true Human origin.

Your interpretation is neither biblical nor factual.

False accusation since it agrees in every way with every discovery of mankind. In the last days, my view will become the Scientific Consensus. Act 2:17 Then, atheists agnostics and unbelievers (ALL flesh) will learn of God's Truth instead of man's incomplete, untrue theory of evolution. Get ready since God is already pouring out His Spirit of Truth through Science, which you cannot deny.

I think it is reasonable for a member to decline to reveal details, or even generalities, about their education. However, this ceases to be the case when they make claims about their education that are used to support their assertions. At that point it becomes mandatory for any reasonable person, any person of integrity, to supply the information. Unfortunately the request has been directed to Aman777.

Then tell us HOW prehistoric people obtained the superior intelligence which only God and Adam have. Genesis 3:22 You cannot so you are left with slinging mud at that which you are willingly ignorant about. All you have is unsupported disagreement. Try to do better. Refute me IF you think you can.

Easy. IF Genesis is true then it MUST agree with every discovery of mankind and history. The ToE is a provable lie which does not agree with Science, History or God's Holy Word. Want to see?

No, almost all religions are faith based. For this claim of yours the Bible is not a valid source. This is a circular argument on your part. You are using the Bible to defend the Bible.

Religion is man's attempt to know God.
Christianity is God in you.
True Christianity is NOT a religion.
Your attempt to pigeon hole all Christians into your view, is thus refuted.
More Scriptural study is indicated. Amen?

Nope, this is merely a weak attempt at an equivocation fallacy. Many religious people recognize that religions are a net negative. As a result they wish to distance themselves from them. If "True Christianity" is not a religion what reasonable and reliable test can be done to see if a belief is "True Christianity" or not? Second if your belief was not "True Christianity" what reasonable and reliable test would show you to be wrong? If you cannot find a proper answer to these questions then your beliefs are a religious belief just like Islam or Buddhism.

And no, you did not refute anything.

Only God knows, since mankind is so wicked we crucify those who tell us of God's Truth. Jhn 3:8 The closer we get to God's Truth, the more perilous it is physically.

God told us of those who hate us thousands of years ago so He hid His Truth inside us. Only God knows whose name is written in the Lamb's Book of Life.

And no, you did not refute anything.

Sure I did. You attempted to deceive us into thinking that all religions were the same and I refuted your foolish notions with this:

There was no mud slinging by me. Any person of integrity would answer a relevant question. If you choose not to, then you have covered yourself in disrepute. When you are ready to post with integrity, I shall be ready to address your questions.

Translation: When you knuckle under to the bullying tactics of Trump and tell us what we wish to know, we can dismiss your uneducated view, but we will call that "integrity". What if I told you I went all the way to the 5th Grade? Would you believe it? Or would you dismiss me as an uneducated heathen imbecile? Does it take a scholar to understand Genesis?

False, since I didn't list everything I know in the last post. My faith has caused me to seek to find God's Truth, which is the Truth in every way. My view AGREES in every way with every discovery of mankind. It does NOT agree with the False Assumption called the ToE. Is that WHY godless teachers get em young in order to brainwash them into believing the biggest satanic lie in History? Of course it is. Can't have those evolved Apes know that they are really God's children. Can we?
