I am sorry that you are not interested, or are incapable of talking about spirituality or spiritual principles.

What is faith? Reading a book.
It's impossible to discuss what has been made up by you as opposed to what we are told to do in the Bible.

"Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God."

Romans 10:17

I make nothing up. I only speak what I believe comes from my Father in heaven. Through the various means of communicating to me he has provided. I do not believe He speaks exclusively through the Bible.

Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self control. God’s sovereignty.

I get it, it is my impression that you can’t talk of these things because you have made the Bible sovereign over all creation and spiritual things are above that. They are actually of God Himself and not just His book.

The Bible verse you gave describes where you believe faith comes from. It does not say what faith is.

What Is faith?

What Is faith?
"Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, a conviction of things not seen" Heb. 11: 1

The writer of Hebrews defines faith as confidence and conviction. He then gives examples of that faith in chapter 11.

Yes.

That is my belief as well!

Faith is being convinced of things not seen.

Praise God now and always!!!

Yes Brownfushy sent that verse earlier.

Yes.

Are you convinced of things not seen?
You've been telling us you communicate directly with God. But the Apostle Paul said "For we walk by faith, not by sight." (2nd Corinthians 5:7). There is no direct communication with God.

I never said that God‘s direct communication with me was the exclusive means by which God communicates with me. Never.

You have a problem with what Paul is trying to say through these words?

chris hedges says faith is doing acts of goodness and letting go of the outcome with the belief your act has meaning
How does Chris Hedges know what an "act of goodness" is? Who or what did Chris Hedges put his faith in to know?
Letting go? Sounds like Chris Hedges operates in the blind faith realm. One believing something"has meaning" doesn't mean it does or will.
