Paradox of Faith – Why We Believe Without Seeing
This Teaching explores the paradox that ancient Israel witnessed Yehovah’s visible works yet often struggled to believe, while later followers of Yeshua trust testimony about events they did not personally witness. The speaker traces a claimed continuity in revelation from Moses and Aaron through the prophets to Yeshua, considers Scripture’s coherence as a reason for trust, and examines the difference between initial belief, evidence, and maturing faith. The fellowship discussion addresses apparent divine silence, personal experience, the Holy Spirit, and the question of whether God still speaks today.
