From Yahoo Answers The Question Is Asked:
Why faith, why not truth, i’ve heard by other people that god said somewhere “truth denies faith” but why have faith in the first place? why is truth not better? it seems to me already that all cristians are following something that they cant see, something they dont know is real, they are shouting into a dark room thinking that someone hears them. i mean if god intended for me to find out about him through faith, then you might as well throw me in hell, cause i dont know where i can find him in the dark room and im triping over things i have to get by (bad things in life). All this for something i dont know is real??? (and please donot use the answer “the bible tells us to” because its my under standing that we humans made the bible.
It is true that God did not reach down and deliver a stack of Bibles one day. God works through man. Perhaps he is working through you and you don’t know it.
As to the Bible, the Bible itself describes it’s creation. For example Moses was given the 10 commandments, Mathew, Mark, Luke, and John were given to write down the story of Jesus. The apostle Paul was given much of the New Testament. So the Bible was given through men but it is not of men, it is of God.
“Truth denies faith?” That is quoted all over the internet but it is just rolled out and not attributed to God or any person that I can find. It is just quoted as a truth and never is it explained why or how it is a truth. Just like much common knowledge it is without basis. Ask yourself, “what is truth?”

Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen.
Do you sit in chairs? Do you have faith that they will hold your weight or do you have to touch each chair and test and see if it’s acceptable to sit on?
You have enough people here that can give you examples of things that have happened by faith. I traveled with a Christian Drama Comany on the road for 8 1/2 years and lived by faith and didn’t always know where the next meal was coming from or if we’d have a place to stay but God ALWAYS provided.
