lies vs faith

What the world thinks is a lie, Christians regard as faith. This can only be because the world can only see what is happening now but not what is going to happen in the future. Christians in some numbers have called other Christians who believe in faith liars because they believe in things that are not as though they were. This of course is the definition of faith as given in Hebrews. The hinge word here seems to be persistence and the lack of persistence. When persistence fails then my faith fails. Fears are the opposites of faith. Most know that but apparently do not know when they declare God did not heal someone that it was God's fault and not their own lack of persistence.

are lies true?

The question is, when? If one persists then it is faith. Church teaching lacks zing, the attributes of life and action. It is obvious the conclusions one can draw from that. Meanwhile secularists chime in that believing for health issues is a lie. They do not define faith the way believers are supposed to believe. They do not persist.         Since faith is defined as believing those things that are not as though they were, humanists can argue this is a lie. In John, I think chapter 7, Jesus told His disciples He was not going up to Jerusalem for the feast. But then He went in order to deceive the synagogue because they sought to kill Him. So apparently He did not trust the twelve?
         This is the kind of thing those hostile to believers like to bounce on to hold Jesus up to ridicule. As to believers they usually ignore or deny the entire scenario ever happened like that, then they do not have to think about it or respond. My point is churches send their Sunday Scholars to college ill equipped to explain or stand up their faith or for Jesus. Then they usually graduate losing whatever meager belief they did have.
