Send us a textFaith is an important concept in both the realm of religious belief as well as the philosophy of religion. What is the relationship between faith and reason? Credence and acceptance? Belief and action? All of these questions are influenced by one's conception of faith in philosophy. We are privileged to discuss these questions and themes with Dr. Liz Jackson, one of the most prominent philosophers in this field, as well as touching upon the role which Pascal's Wager has on faith.

Is magic just a miracle by another name? Jesus taught magic—let's talk about faith, ritual, and resonance!--- Join and support the community: https://www.creationspaths.com/ In this episode, Charlie and Brian, Christopagan Druids, explore the **historical debate on magic vs. miracles**, tracing the origins of the term "magic" in ancient Greece. They discuss how **faith, intention, and ritual work** intersect in both religious and magical practices, challenging the common misconception that magic is merely wishful thinking.A key focus is the **parable of the mustard seed** from Matthew 17, which is often misunderstood. Rather than emphasizing the _size_ of faith, the passage highlights **faith's potential for prodigious growth** when nurtured with spiritual and ritual discipline. Jesus himself practiced what could be considered magic, teaching his disciples the importance of **prayer, fasting, and ritual** in achieving transformation.Charlie and Brian introduce the **Law of Resonance**, contrasting it with the flawed concept of the **Law of Attraction**. Resonance, they argue, is about aligning with specific energies through faith and intentionality—what you put into the universe shapes what you receive. Misaligned or desperate intentions, especially in magic, can backfire, as seen in personal anecdotes about unintended financial consequences.They also delve into **Paul's mystical teachings** in Romans 14, arguing that Paul's approach to faith aligns with magical practice—stating that “whatever is not of faith is sin,” meaning our **belief systems shape our reality and determine spiritual resonance**. Paul, they suggest, was a **practitioner of Merkava mysticism**, a form of Jewish esoteric tradition.Thank you for Liking and Subscribing to this podcastThank you for sharing this episode with your loved ones, friends and community--- Thank you for Tips or Donations: https://ko-fi.com/cedorsett https://patreon.com/cedorsett https://cash.app/$CreationsPathsSubstack: https://www.creationspaths.com/ For all of the things we are doing at The Seraphic Grove go to Creation's Paths https://www.creationspaths.com/ For Educational Resource: https://wisdomscry.com --- A Christopagan Manifesto--- Answer to the Call: A Dream of an Oak Church Guided Meditations Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLV0C8kiTKv0J2QAAlD1uaIJvQ3Sr9sIqO Christopagan Playlist:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLV0C8kiTKv0ISXDQkZBRB7EHrUUJgXlGN The Everything Playlist:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLV0C8kiTKv0Ln3eGW-tDk2R68PM6c182OCreation's Paths Podcast: http://www.creationspaths.com/podcast Church of the Oak Podcast: http://churchoftheoak.com/Hallowstead Podcast: http://hallowstead.com/Social Connections: BlueSky https://bsky.app/profile/creationspaths.com Threads https://www.threads.net/@creationspaths Instagram https://www.instagram.com/creationspaths/#Christopagan #CreationSpirituality #ChristianWitch #Paganism #Esoteric #Magic #Druidry #Mysticism #Spirituality #Occult #WitchCraft #Wicca #IrishPaganism #CelticPaganism #Magick #Polytheism #Enchantment #FaithAndMagic #LawOfResonance #MiraclesVsMagic #SubtleEnergies #PrayerAndFasting## Chapters:00:00 The Age-Old Debate: Magic vs. Miracles01:19 Faith and Rituals in the Gospels02:14 Introduction to Faith Acts and Resonance03:16 Understanding Faith as a Mustard Seed05:02 The Spectrum of Magic: Wishes, Prayers, and Spells06:24 The Role of Will, Intention, and Faith in Magic06:58 Joseph Campbell and the Evolution of Society10:19 The Law of Resonance Explained16:42 Real-World Examples of Resonance in Action25:26 Concluding Thoughts and Practical Advice Get full access to Creation's Paths at www.creationspaths.com/subscribe

The Portage church of Christ is a group of pre-denominational Christians that are striving to serve the Lord together. Our goal is to please God, and we believe that the best way to do that is to follow the pattern that was established by the churches in the first century and revealed in the New Testament. We have no creed or doctrine except the Bible and we follow the Bible only. We strive for unity in the teaching of New Testament doctrine. Our congregation is not part of, or subject to, any larger man-made religious organization. We are a completely autonomous congregation. We are locally governed, just as the church in the first century was. How does one becomes a member of this church congregation? The exact same way as seen in the Biblical accounts. On the day of Pentecost following Jesus' resurrection, people who repented and were baptized were saved (Acts 2:38) and the saved were added to the church (Acts 2:47). These saved people were members of the body, or church (Colossians 1:18). To become a Christian, the Bible teaches: Hear the gospel (Rom. 10:17) Believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God (John 8:24, 58, Heb. 11:6) Repent of past sins (Luke 13:3, 5) Confess Jesus as Lord (Matt. 10:32-33, Rom. 10:9-10) Be baptized for the remission of sins (Acts 2:38, Mark 16:16) Remain Faithful to Christ (Rev. 2:10, 2 Tim 4:7-8)
Join Joe McDonald as he discusses the importance of walking in faith and understanding alcoholism as a fatal illness in Step 12 of Alcoholics Anonymous. Joe explains that both faith and recovery require us to believe in things we cannot see, which is why improving our consciousness is essential. He also emphasizes that alcoholism is not just a condition of the mind but also of the body, referencing the doctor's opinion that alcoholism may manifest as an allergy. Joe asks us to reflect on how alcohol, a sedative, paradoxically energized many of us, further complicating our understanding of the illness.In Alcoholics Anonymous, Step 12 encourages us to carry the message of recovery to others and explain the true nature of alcoholism. Joe invites us to deepen our understanding of both faith and the conditions that accompany this disease.To support and learn from journeys like Joe McDonald, please like, comment, and share.

Faith is the foundation and cornerstone of every believer's life. In this teaching , Prophet Hari Rao dives deep into the core of faith, revealing its deep significance and practical application in life. Our faith is anchored in the Word! It is always in the present; it cannot be stagnant or stale. Faith is here and now! Many think that faith is just belief; but it is a living entity. As Hebrews 11:1 declares, faith is the assurance of things hoped for and the conviction of things not seen. It's more than confidence in God—it's the tangible substance of promises already fulfilled in the Spirit. What is Faith? • Faith is the unshakable confidence in God, His nature, and His Word. • Faith is the guarantee of things promised to us in the Word. • Faith is the conviction in your heart of the invisible reality. What Faith is Not: • Faith is not an assumption—God is only committed to what He has promised in His Word. • Faith is not blind belief—it is informed, meticulous, and rooted in understanding. Sources of Faith: 1. Hearing the Word: * A disciplined diet of God's Word reengineers your spirit to believe and to receive. * Faith allows you to comprehend and apprehend that which is yours. 2. Communion with the Holy Spirit: * Fellowship with the Holy Spirit personalizes the promises to you. * Faith is a product of communion with the Holy Spirit. When you read the word, you understand covenant benefits but in fellowship with the Spirit, it becomes yours. 3. Fellowship with Saints: * Faith is a tangible asset that is transferable. Surround yourself with Faith Champions! Faith allows you to partner with God in creating realities, giving you eyes to see divine possibilities and empowering you to be a co-laborer with Christ. This is a call to anchor your life in faith and experience the extraordinary life God has designed for you. Tune in now and let your faith rise to new heights!

James 2:14-26 14 What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, 16 and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and filled,” without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that? 17 So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. 18 But someone will say, “You have faith and I have works.” Show me your faith apart from your works, and I will show you my faith by my works. 19 You believe that God is one; you do well. Even the demons believe—and shudder! 20 Do you want to be shown, you foolish person, that faith apart from works is useless? 21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered up his son Isaac on the altar? 22 You see that faith was active along with his works, and faith was completed by his works; 23 and the Scripture was fulfilled that says, “Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness”—and he was called a friend of God. 24 You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone. 25 And in the same way was not also Rahab the prostitute justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out by another way? 26 For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so also faith apart from works is dead.
Join us in this episode as we dive into a new series called 'Deceased Faith.' We'll explore the importance of having faith that shows through actions, based on the teaching from the book of James in the Bible. By comparing passages from James and Romans, we'll learn that real faith isn't just believing in your heart but also showing it through your actions. Using examples like Abraham, we see how faith works hand in hand with deeds. Remember, faith is more than words; it's about what you do. Tune in as we discover how to live and share our faith with others. 00:00 Introduction and Gratitude 00:37 Introducing the New Series: Deceased Faith 01:40 Scripture Reading: James Chapter 2 03:34 Understanding Faith and Works 05:27 Comparing Romans and James 07:52 Illustration: Evidence of Faith 08:42 Call to Action: Demonstrating Faith 09:57 Conclusion and Next Steps
Join Joe McDonald as he delves into Step 2 AA from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, exploring the concept of faith and the power it brings to recovery. Joe draws a parallel between belief in spiritual power and belief in electricity: “Many of us have been shocked. Maybe if you've never experienced a painful experience, you have a faith that allows you to know that you walk in, hit a light switch, and lights come on. This power we're talking about is no different than the people who believe in electrical theory and worship it all the time.”Joe's discussion emphasizes the importance of having faith in something beyond oneself and how this faith can be as practical and real as believing in electricity. He encourages viewers to explore their beliefs and trust in a higher power for transformative change.Join us as Joe McDonald reads and expands on the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, offering deeper understanding and practical advice for those on their recovery journey.

The speaker talks about how trials and testing are intrinsic to our faith journey, based on passages from the Bible. He emphasizes that the trials we face are not to prove our faith to God (since God already knows), but to prove the genuineness of that faith to ourselves. The speaker asserts that our tribulations are tools to refine our character, foster our perseverance, and strengthen our faith. By considering the trials of key figures like Jesus, Abraham, and Job, the speaker counsels us to embrace trials as an act of spiritual strengthening. The speaker closes with a heartfelt prayer, thanking God and asking for guidance and blessings for his listeners. 00:00 Introduction and Joyful Devotion 00:49 Understanding Faith and Its Tests 01:46 The Joy Set Before Jesus 03:25 Why God Allows Trials and Suffering 06:22 The Refinement of Faith Through Testing 08:11 Building Character Through Testing 08:26 Perseverance and Success in Trials 09:21 Closing Remarks and Prayer 10:13 Encouragement to Share the Message --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/gnbc/message

What is faith and how does it work? This Sunday, Pastor Matt breaks down some fundamentals of faith to equip you on your journey with God.
Ever pondered about Abraham's faith before his circumcision and how it ties with our faith in Christ? Well, hang tight! This journey will unravel how the Lord performs an unseen surgery that separates us from our sinful nature and connects us with the righteous identity declared by God through our faith and trust in Jesus. We'll traverse through the passages of Colossians 2:12-14, Romans 4 and Galatians 3, shedding light on the circumcision performed by Christ and how it is faith, not actions or ceremonies by which believers are declared as righteous.Now, let's shift gears and tackle the deep-rooted concepts of salvation and the forgiveness of sins. Brace yourselves as we pierce into the reality of being 'dead in our transgressions' and how God's forgiveness breathes life into our very souls. Guided by Romans 8:10 and Colossians 2:14, we'll dissect when salvation occurs and the profound meaning of 'canceling out the certificate of debt'. Finally, we'll stand in awe of the ultimate price Jesus paid for our infinite debt. Don't miss out on this opportunity to delve into the Bible and grasp the essence of your faith like never before.Support the show
