What is Biblical Faith?

  "Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen". Hebrews 11:1

  Assurance is a feminine noun and conviction is a masculine noun.  While not tangible evidence, confident and convicted like as in a court of law.  The judge and jury didn't see it happen, but they determined what happened.  Usually this is where I would study scripture.  But this time it is Google's Artificial intelligence I will comment on.  I asked AI the question, what is the quantum of the Spirit? The answer is Faith.   

I quote:

  In a spiritual context, "quantum of the Spirit" refers to the smallest, indivisible unit of spiritual energy or consciousness, often interpreted as the fundamental essence of a being that connects to a larger, universal spiritual field; essentially, it signifies the basic building block of the spirit, similar to how "quantum" in physics represents the smallest unit of energy.
  (The AI overview does not say what the quantum of the Spirit is.  It gives us a very good description of our relationship with Yahuah Elohiym unintentionally.  The larger universal field is Yahuah Elohiym.  The basic building block is Faith in Yahusha Hamashia called Jesus Christ.  Our energy is Faith.)

I quote,
Key points about the "quantum of the Spirit":

Connection to Quantum Physics:

  This concept draws inspiration from quantum mechanics, where "quantum" signifies a discrete unit of energy, and applies it to the spiritual realm, suggesting that consciousness and spirit can be understood in similar terms.
  (When studying Scripture, energy is the Light of the world, the Bread of Life and the Holy Spirit.   To see this energy of the Spirit in action, we need Faith.  To have a consciousness spiritually is to have the transfer of information from Yahuah Elohiym through the Holy Spirit to us.  It is like quantum entanglement of telepathy.)

I quote,
Interconnectedness:

  By implying a "quantum" of the spirit, the idea is that all beings are fundamentally connected through this shared spiritual essence, similar to the concept of quantum entanglement in physics. 
  (This is where I disagree with the first part of AI's statement.  There is two spiritual essences.   There is Yahuah Elohiym and there is the fallen Cherub Heylel BenSahar now known as the Serpent, Dragon, Satan or the Devil.  We are connected to one, not both.  Our faith is in Yahusha Hamashia or Satan if we know it or not.  If you sabotaged your neighbor's vehicle, you are spiritually entangled with Satan.)

I quote,
Spiritual Awakening and Transformation:

  Some spiritual traditions might interpret experiencing a "quantum leap" in consciousness as a significant shift in awareness, signifying a deeper connection to this fundamental spiritual energy. 
  (It's interesting how AI described it as a quantum leap in consciousness.   Faith is exactly that.   Our consciousness went from eat, sleep work and play to thinking about the afterlife, spiritual battles and the full armor of Elohiym.  Everyday our connection with Yahuah Elohiym becomes deeper.)

I quote,
Not a Scientific Concept:

  While drawing inspiration from quantum physics, the "quantum of the Spirit" is not a scientifically proven concept and falls more into the realm of philosophical or spiritual exploration. 
  (To be scientifically proven, it needs it needs to be, I quote, "supported by substantial evidence gathered through rigorous experimentation and observation". Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.   If you cannot see it, you cannot gather it.  But we can gather it and study it by the Equation of Assurance and conviction.)

  Faith=assurance and conviction of the not seen.  Faith doesn't have mass but it does have value.   The value of Faith is a determined by the individual that has Faith.   The greater value of Faith determines the amount of assurance and conviction of the things not seen physically.  Assurance is like a memory of something seen in the in past.  Conviction is not looking outwardly, it's the realization of an inner awareness or a inner reflection of the unseen.  If you have seen Mount Rushmore, you have a memory of it.  Just because you cannot see it now, doesn't say it's not there.  If your memory is good enough, you can develop different thought experiments about it. 

   Faith in the Words of Yahusha Hamashia is a memory also.  We can run thought experiments on it also.  Therefore we covered the  requirements of gathered evidence and experimentation. We can observe Faith through the changed lives of the living who have excepted Yahusha Hamashia as their Savior.  Now let's see some Scriptures.  

  • Proverbs 3:5-6: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding". 
  This is saying trust the spiritual professor and not just poke around without understanding.  

  • 2 Corinthians 5:7: "For we walk by faith, not by sight". 
  In science sight is very important.  However when it is the unseen you are dealing with, you need to see in a different way.  We see by assurance and conviction.  
  • Matthew 21:22: "And whatever you ask in prayer, you will receive, if you have faith".
  Praying is the quantum entanglement of spiritual communication.  By sight and hearing we believe a cellphone works.  By assurance and conviction we power the inner communication with Our Father that is in Heaven by spiritual entanglement.  

  "So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ".  Romans 10:17: 

  This is where Satan builds his offensive.  He will do everything in his power to keep your attention upon useless things if this world.   Or he will corrupt the message to leave a repugnant taste in your spirit so you reject Yahusha Hamashia before you hear Him out.  As the verse said, we hear by reading the scriptures for ourselves, not by pastor or priest who wants his own followers to Hell.  It's our own decision, not for some spiritually blind guide to give directions.  

  I like the LSB version Bible along with the Blue Letter Bible online.   Also I use the Cepher Bible to own the missing Scripture like Acts 29.  

Mary Magdalene Chapter 9 and Commentary

1-2) When Mary had said this, she fell silent, since it was to this point that the Savior had spoken with her.  But Andrew answered and said...
