Question

Is it more courageousith to take the leap of faith??

Answer 1

No.

No one is fathful under the heaven including adam and eve.

Answer 2

There is no leaping in faith, we all have it at some level.

Belief has attained the level of faith when it motivates life and shapes the mode of living. The acceptance of a teaching as true is not faith; that is mere belief. Neither is certainty nor conviction faith. A state of mind attains to faith levels only when it actually dominates the mode of living. Faith is a living attribute of genuine personal religious experience. One believes truth, admires beauty, and reverences goodness, but does not worship them; such an attitude of saving faith is centered on God alone, who is all of these personified and infinitely more.

Belief is always limiting and binding; faith is expanding and releasing. Belief fixates, faith liberates. But living religious faith is more than the association of noble beliefs; it is more than an exalted system of philosophy; it is a living experience concerned with spiritual meanings, divine ideals, and supreme values; it is God-knowing and man-serving. Beliefs may become group possessions, but faith must be personal. Theologic beliefs can be suggested to a group, but faith can rise up only in the heart of the individual religionist.

Answer 3

Yes as faith helps a lot in positivity.

Answer 4

Whenever you as "is it more whatever to do whatever2" you need to say what you are comparing it to.  More courageous than what?  

So I'm going to answer it as if you had asked,

Is it courageous to take a leap of faith?"

I would have to say that usually it is not.  Most of the time in matters of faith you are simply pressured by family and community and traditions to take the "leap of faith" and be just another mindless person who doesn't demand some verification process for what they have committed themselves to.

That said most "leaps of faith" are nothing more than a declaration of membership in some group.  A belief may be stated as what the faith is about but it turns out that the same process can be observed in any religion.  So what is believed in is not very important.  What is important is your declaration of what tribe you have joined.  

You don't see many people in America having a leap of faith for Islam and you don't see many (any?) people in Saudi Arabia having a leap of faith for Christianity.  Why?  Because to join those groups in those countries would be interpreted as being against membership in the common faith and even a declaration of disloyalty to the state, since people tend to confuse governments and religions.

So it would definitely not be courageous to take a leap of faith as all that is is going along with the crowd.

Answer 5

Faith requires no courage, thinking requires courage.

Faith requires resignation.

Answer 6

No.  It is to stand your ground.

Answer 7

Sometimes we must, I suppose, take that leap of faith. But because every theologian and most philosophers agree that faith and reason are mutually exclusive, that faith is the abnegation of reason, it is much more courageous to stick to reason until you have no more reason to use.

It was, after all, a theologian in the 6th century, Boethius, who said, "In so far as is possible, join faith to reason." He knew it was not possible to join them inseperabley. But he knew that the miracles upon which the foundation of Christianity was build were beginning to subside, and that men's faith would soon subside with it.

Joining faith to reason gave Christians justification to go on believing, even in the face of overwheliming reason that a belief was unjustified. It is the purpose to faith to justify the unjustifiable or it would not be a "leap of faith."

Answer 8

That depends on why the leap of faith has come about... He the reason is a matter of profit of advancement for oneself, them there is nothing courageous about it, but he it is a honest acceptance that our faith is not our own but thrust upon up by our environment and would not be truly representative of our inner beliefs unless we are free and able to change it as our experiences teach up newer lessons. More than courage, it is deeper understanding of oneself and confidence in ones judgement that is required...

Answer 9

Courage is facing up to the truth and living with it.

Taking a leap of faith is taking someone else's word for it, turning a blind eye to other possibilities and abdicting responsibility for your own life

Answer 10

Faith is foolish as faith often means to believe in something despite evidence to the contrary. Ignoring evidence is not an intelligent or educated thing to be doing.
