“The faith that stands on authority is not faith. ”

“A foolish faith in authority is the worst enemy of truth.”

“Faith is decisively determined by the object of faith, namely, God and His Word. This does not ... imply that Scripture ... derives its authority from the believer's faith: this idea is already rendered untenable by the very nature of faith, which rests on and trusts in the Word of God.”

“Faith will falter if the authority of holy scripture is shaken; and if faith falters, love itself decays. For if someone lapses in his faith, he inevitably lapses in his love as well, since he cannot love what he does not believe to be true.”

“Faith is easy when you're standing in front of a miracle. The real test of faith is when there aren't any signs."~Reilly, The Last Templar pg. 244”

“How strong is a faith that can't stand up to a few honest questions?”
