::::The faith article has a ways to go, but I think it's currently trying to distinguish between the biblical type of faith and the worldy type. The biblical faith in God, refers not to blind faith, but a trust in His truth and promises outlined in scripture. <u>Biblical</u> Christianity says that it is faith alone in Christ's finished saving work ''alone'' that saves an individual. Every other way of thinking other than biblical thinking says one needs to earn a salvation or earn that "afterlife". The Bible explicitly says that one can never attain perfection or righteousness by one's own deeds and actions, or by human reason and intellect. --[[User:Ymmotrojam|Ymmotrojam]] 14:33, 22 March 2007 (EDT)

:::::I'll quote the main page for you, when "Faith" had been prominently linked from there: '''"Did you know that faith is a uniquely Christian concept? Add to the explanation of what it means, and how it does not exist on other religions."''' That sentence was on the main page for weeks or so and doesn't seem to be quite as diplomatic as your view. It's also the "version" most people here think of when one mentions the "Faith" article, I think. It even got picked up by a German news source.
:::::It should also be mentioned that the article has been locked for nearly one month now and is still locked (but it's just a "temporary lock because of vandalism"... sure...), and it got "clarified" only TODAY, just a few minutes after your interpretation.
:::::If you feel like it, check out the [http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Faith&oldid=15845 last non-Aschlafly version] just before the protection. In my eyes, it had been a lot more balanced than the version we had during the month that followed. Still had a way to go, but not to bad for two days of editing. --[[User:Sid 3050|Sid 3050]] 15:31, 22 March 2007 (EDT)
