To add further:

Jesus like Moses believed in One-True-God.
One of the attributes of God is All-Wise. He has bestowed reason and wisdom to the human beings, why should God then want that humans should believe Him in blind-faith, please?

One of the qualities of believers is:

[25:73] And those who bear not false witness, and when they pass by anything vain, they pass on with dignity;
[25:74] And those who, when they are reminded of the Signs of their Lord, fall not deaf and blind thereat;

The believers are to be reasonable and rational, in matters pertaining to ethical moral or spiritual domains on bases of Word Revealed on their founder, and in the secular matters on sciences, please.

You're going to need to elaborate. Does that mean a believer is going to have a divinely inspired understanding of scientific fields? Does that mean a believer is going to utilize methodologies that yield scientifically valid conclusions? Does that mean a believer can understand scientific insights without proper training expertise in the specific field?

Too many times I've run into Christians who believe that they are so wise, so right, that they don't need to learn anything about science. Their convictions give them the ability to criticize vastly complex scientific fields. They use their beliefs to claim that evolution must be false, and when someone with actual knowledge steps forward to rebuff their claims, they continue on with blatant stubbornness.

Is that the kind of understanding and reasonable behavior you talk about? What is it about being a Christian specifically that requires or allows the believer to be competent at science? Shouldn't scientific expertise and intellectual integrity be aspects of a person's character that are dependent on their experience, education, and willingness to observe the world, not in how zealous they are in worshiping their preferred deity?

I never thought that God wanted us to believe in him in blind faith.
Why do you?

Why do you?

I also believe in faith, not in blind-faith. I go with reason as far as reason could go and lead me, and wisdom demands that reason has reached its limits into the domain where the Word of Revelation is only valid, I go with secure and protected truthful Word of Revelation.
Right, please?

In that case I am confused, don't understand your argument re blind faith.
Are you saying that 'other' believers are practicing blind faith?

You assume that all humans are possessed of good reasoning powers. God did not make us all equal in that respect so some poor souls, a vast number in fact, cannot use reason in the clever way you do. Millions operate on bind faith.

Jesus, being favoured, didn't really need reason. Others who are not Jesus rely on blind faith. If reason always reached God, then there would be no clever atheists or agnostics.

But I suspect you already hold that view. Go well.

There we both agree.
Reason has its limitations, it cannot fly to any length alone without a conjugal partner that it always needs. It needs science, mathematics, philosophy, history, archaeology etc, in the physical and material realm and Word of Revelation in the ethical, moral and spiritual realms.
It is for this that I say that I go with reason as reason could go.
Right, please?
