Line 2: − − *A casual stroll through the lunatic asylum shows that faith does not prove anything - [[Friedrich Nietzsche]]
Revert; quote not appropriate here (or anywhere on page, perhaps)
* In Biblical [[Judaism]], faith is specifically understood as the continued obedience of the Jews to the commandments of [[God]] ([[Jehovah]]) found and repeatedly renewed in his [[Covenant]]s. Thus, faith is tied to the context of God's [[Covenant]] with his chosen people, [[Israel]]. In practice, this means that Jews are expected to be faithful to God by following the 613 ''Mitzvoth'', and honoring the holidays of the Jewish calendar, among other practices.

Faith embodies more than belief in two significant respects. First, faith implies a causal role by the believer in an outcome, as in [[Peter]]'s walking on water based on his faith or in overcoming a personal fear. Second, faith implies advancement or accomplishment rather than wrongdoing.
