Faith
Question
Hello Rabbi.
Is there a difference between faith in God and faith in a proof of God’s existence?
What is the meaning of faith in each of these approaches/beliefs in terms of serving God?
How much does it change the likelihood of the Sinai revelation having occurred if we have proved God’s existence as opposed to if we have not?
Answer
I didn’t understand the question. Why is faith in the existence of a proof important? Do you mean to ask whether faith based on a proof is different from faith that is not based on a proof? In my opinion, no. Every proof is based on foundational assumptions, so in the end everything comes down to intuition.
