Faith and reason overpower each other throughout one's life, which results in contradiction, but the conflict never ceases in any sphere.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Faith embraces many truths which seem to contradict each other.
The greatest conflicts are not between two people but between one person and himself.
These are strange times. Reason, which once combatted faith and seemed to have conquered it, now has to look to faith to save it from dissolution.
Life is a battle between faith and reason in which each feeds upon the other, drawing sustenance from it and destroying it.
Faith is not contrary to reason.
One of the things I love about our source text as Christians, the Bible, is that it teaches us not to avoid conflict. And it teaches us that before the fall of man, in Paradise, there was conflict. God wants conflict to be a part of your life.
Too often today, we do not rely on faith so much as on our own ability to reason and solve problems.
Mr. Speaker, I am deeply concerned that many regions of this world are suffering from the effects of armed conflicts with religious aspects. I believe that the differences of faith are not the real reason for these conflicts.
Faith is a continuation of reason.
Faith and doubt cannot exist in the same mind at the same time, for one will dispel the other.
