So what exactly is the difference between trust and faith? - Help.com

Faith is a belief, it’s without proof. Trust is proved.

How can you have faith without proof.

Plenty of people have faith in various religions with no proof.

But their parents or repeatable people probable believe in it and you would trust that they are right. You would just believe in something without something to say that it is right.

Just because someone else believes in it too doesn’t give you proof.

That’s still just belief. Faith.

How so? When you trust someone, you are giving them the benefit of the doubt. You know its possible that they will **** you over (because lets face it - we’re human) but you have trust that they wont.

When you have faith in someone or something, you are again giving them the benefit of the doubt.

I fail to see the difference.

If you trust someone to do something, or to be something, if this does not happen, they lose your trust. If they do it, their trust has been proven. It has been earned. It can be given and taken away.

Faith is not earned. People have faith in ‘God’ without asking for their faith to be put to the test, they believe and follow blindly. Some people lose faith, but the faith was nothing more than something that could not be proven anyway.

You don’t have to agree, just understand what I mean.

But if someone were to say that the moon is made of cheese, you wouldn’t believe them. It makes no sense. But if people believe it as well, then that is some form of evidence.

People believe that there is a bloke from 2000 years ago who died and rose from the dead three days later that was the son of ‘God’ born by a virgin birth who died for our sins.

Just as crazy as moon made of cheese but people believe it with no proof.

People believe it because they were brought up to believe it. Much like brain washing. This is not faith but simply a lack of knowing anything else.

Not everyone who has religion was brought up with it. Plenty of people convert, by themselves at a later date. You are going off subject though, the question wasn’t “why do people believe in ‘God’?” but what is the difference between trust and faith.

Trust is earned. Faith is not… its a belief
I agree with jessica bunny totally.

I’m pleased someone does lol.

They answer the same question. You do not believe in something without some evidence, unless you remain completely ignorant.

I think you mean they ask the same question. And no, they don’t. They are two very different questions.

You argued that people believe in religion without evidence and that is faith. I argue that that is not true and there is no example of faith in the way you describe it. Therefore my answer will also provide an answer to the original question.

You could speak to many religious people who would say that actually they have faith in ‘God’ without evidence, they believe in ‘Him’ because of faith. Thus undermining your argument.

Also a good point.

Thank you. ..Thank you very much. :-)

Trust is easier to come by because in someways it has a more tangible property between people. Where faith is developed from inside out and can only be presented to a person not exchanged. The presentation of faith will allow you to see if others posses the same quality, therefore increasing ones ability to discriminate between the faithful/the trusting types. Not say that a trusting personality is a trustworthy personality.

Trust is based on what seems to be truth. Faith is always a leap, that can be based on intuition or a gut feeling(hunch), and there can be no way of knowing it to be true at it’s existed time.

Faith is giving your belief into something/someone.
Trust is relying on someone/something to never hurt/harm/etc. you.

Anyway, here’s my quote I found on trust:

“The force of trust is not to be reconciled with. For in the end Karma will come.”

I know what faith is, and I faithfully believe that there is something better than capitalism. Economics are complicated, yet capitalism does seem to boost the economy. But at who’s cost?

The people no longer run the system, if they ever did. It’s lobbyists that hold many of the reins, the others are held by ambitious politicians. The people aren’t a part of it anymore. The people are an obligation to the government. A maintenance duty. That’s all.

oops wrong post

sorry all
