Does the book of Hebrews

[WPG12]

Destroy faith?

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Hebrews 11:1 KJV


If you give a blind man evidence of what he doesn't see, call it what he hopes for the tell him his life depends on it. You can lead him anywhere you want to.

Jesus didn't come to leave us blind, but to cause the blind to see.

I don't walk by sight, I walk by faith. But I don't walk blindly.
I don't look at the temporal things, but at the eternal things, because I see them.

Belief thinks what it wants to see is right.
Trust, doesn't really know, it trusts that something is true
Hope lives on a prayer that something will happen

Belief , trust, and hope are blind. They can easily go the way you don't want them to.

When your hope is realized, it's no longer hope.

The faith of God is not blind, it sees what is not seen, hears what is not heard. Perceives what is not perceived.
It is the gift of God, understanding given by God, an opening of the eyes which causes men to see what is not seen.

Most would rather walk around blindly, clinging to evidence of what is not seen, but they hope for. This is not faith, it is a destruction of the faith of God.

Did you not notice that you are quoting (oddly partially) what WPG12 already posted?

You claim to be quoting Matthew 28:19-20, but in fact only quote from verse 20, and don't even quote that completely.

What is the purpose of quoting (oddly partially) what WPG12 has already posted?

RESPONSE: Apparently, this was added to Matthew's gospel in the early 4th century.
The earlier version of Matthew, as quote by Eusebius the Historian lack this passage and of the five baptisms (4 in Acts) described in the New Testament, all are in the name of Jesus alone.

What evidence can you present proving that the Eusebius quoted from documents that lacked this passage and that said documents were earlier copies than those which contain It?

While I agree that Yeshua said to baptize in his name, I have not seen evidence that these verse were added too.

Does the book of Hebrews Destroy faith?

No.

Rather, it describes, promotes, encourages, and applauds faith.
