# '''[[Seminar Faith:The Foundation of Faith]]''' - Faith is built similar to building foundations. - The entire structure of the universe, for small things and giant ones alike, is built as structures in which one creation serves as a foundation for other, more advanced creations.- Constructing faith also is done by setting foundation upon foundation. - The foundation of faith upon which we stand is also the foundation for everything that was built up in human societies.- The foundation of faith of a fallen or evil culture was a foundation of faith in idols and pagan deities. - The foundation of faith is a foundation of trust in God. - Faith in God needs to be test-proof in a hostile environment. - A foundation of faith is built by offering our lives to God.

Therefore, a foundation of faith always is made regarding the foundations of our created existence. - God instilled in us the purpose of our existing. To make a foundation of faith means to more deeply realize the purpose for which God created us. - God gave us freedom to create and re-create ourselves. The essence of making a foundation of faith is that we create and re-create ourselves as human beings loved by God. - All creations by God were created in the dimensions of time and space, and all creations have numbers attached, so also our re-creating ourselves can only be done considering time, space and numbers. - Objects of offerings can be of various kinds.

Some people think they're nothing... Some people think they're everything... Some people engage in chattering... And some people go for praying... But for God you're the real thing... You're the center, not right- and not left-wing... You're the head thing and the one that makes God sing...
# '''[[Seminar Faith:Relationship to a more central figure of faith]]''' - In space, a smaller mass like the earth doesn't just orbit around a bigger mass, for example the sun, but they both orbit around a common center, which is closer to the center of the bigger mass. We can argue that the same is true for two central figures of faith, one more and one less central. - Jesus stood to some degree on the foundation of faith that was inherited and built by John the Baptist. Although John the Baptist passed on some of this legacy to Jesus by baptizing him, because afterward John did not follow Jesus, Jesus had to make a new foundation of faith in 40 days in the desert. - A foundation of faith can be compared to a magnetic field generated by an electrical current flowing between two poles.

To do away with what's unjust
On the journey of eternal wanderlust
