Intelligent faith

It is my belief that through a process of logical, practical, pragmatic and scientifically valid arguments a basis can be developed for an intelligent faith in the existance of a Causer of our existance.

We are created as human beings and as such our faith should and must be based on intelligent reasoning. A belief system should have a basis to provide morality, and meaning to life whose outworking is able to account for what we instinctively know to be true.

The only reason why intelligent has been appended to faith is because people have tended to dissociate intelligent reasoning from faith, to the contrary, faith by nature consists of conscious intelligent weighing of arguments inorder to arrive to a valid conclusion on a specific subject.

The Bible calls for such faith (intelligent faith) i.e Isiah 1:18 Come now let us reason together.

Faith in God does not negate the intellect, to the contrary it resonates with all intelligent reasoning.
