Is praying to God with fear of Damnation or hope for blessings Really Faith at all?
What Is Faith?
Sorry. I may not consider this kind of act as faith at all.
Real Faith is believing in His presence and experiencing His presence everywhere and enjoying His presence with true belief and admiration of His greatness. In such Faith, there should not be any fear of damnation or desire for rewards. Leave everything on Him, but say your problems to Him without concealing anything.
Faith is trust in yourself for that is where The Kingdom of God and Jesus and God is. If you have no faith that you can accomplish anything then you will not. It has nothing to do with what religions teaches. In fact religion does not teach what Jesus really taught us. Religion is not faith. When you pray you only ask once and then let it go. You do not do repetitive prayers and you do not plead nor can you really ask for something of someone else.
I think one can pray and repeat the same request every day. He does this with faith that God will one day hear and grant him his request. It is Faith. He is not asking for some one else's belongings. He asks normally for something which God can giv

You are not the Kingdom of God, sorry ...
No.
And yes. It's faith in fear or in lack. Thus, fear and lack persist.
Faith is the perfection of confidence. It is not self-concerned, so has no limitations. Faith is also Truth which is Love. Faith is creation. And by resting on Faith, creation gains persistence.
Love really is the answer. Not physical love, but Altruistic Love which has no self-concern (Ego).

My personal opinion is that, YES, most Christians believe in God out of fear. And that starts when they are children. When a child is taken to church and told that he/she will burn eternally in the fiery pits of hell unless they follow the rules of the Bible and God's word, that...

If God is like a light switch in a dark room, why is it so hard to show it to a non-believer?This appeared in a forum post recently:"They are led to stand before the doorstep of a dark room ~ and encouraged to discover if there is any light-switch ('God') inside it. The only way to find out ~...
