The best definition i can find of faith is the dependence upon the veracity of another. the bible definition in the 11th chapter of hebrews is, 'faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.' in other words, faith says amen to everything that god says. faith takes god without any ifs, if god says it, faith says i believe it; faith says amen to it.

More From Dwight L. Moody

I always had, you know, in the book of hebrews, i think it's chapter 11, verse 1, where it says, "now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." i always had this sense that there was something on the other side. that there was something better.

Faith takes god without any ifs. if god says anything, faith says, "i believe it"; faith says, "amen" to it.
Believe Say Anything Amen
Those who would assail the book of mormon should bear in mind that its veracity is no more dubious than the veracity of the bible, say, or the qur'an, or the sacred texts of most other religions. the latter texts simply enjoy the considerable advantage of having made their public debut in the shadowy recesses of the ancient past, and are thus much harder to refute.

I equals all of the ifs added up over time. the ifs, those are the possibilities; that's infinite for all of us. every day there are just millions of them. time, that's finite for each of us; there is no question there. maybe if you divide choices by the amount of time you have, the real i can emerge, depending upon those choices.
Real Choices Infinite
I have seen war. i have seen war on land and sea. i have seen blood running from the wounded. i have seen men coughing out their gassed lungs. i have seen the dead in the mud. i have seen cities destroyed. i have seen 200 limping, exhausted men come out of line—the survivors of a regiment of 1,000 that went forward 48 hours before. i have seen children starving. i have seen the agony of mothers and wives. i hate war.

A definition is nothing else but an explication of the meaning of a word, by words whose meaning is already known. hence it is evident that every word cannot be defined; for the definition must consist of words; and there could be no definition, if there were not words previously understood without definition.
