The Doctrines of theology are better to look at to see really what kind of religion they are.
This is ironically thinking in a sola scriptura manner about it.

Scripture say we having the same spirit of faith, let us all speak the same thing. Now what is that faith according to scripture?

According to scriptures, faith is confidence and trust in God, particularly in what is unseen or hoped for, and it is often demonstrated through actions and obedience. It is not just a belief, but a conviction that leads to a life aligned with God's will.

The faith is the holy faith according to the book of Jude .

It makes up or is the substance of things hoped for. But aside for what it makes up , what is it itself ?

Holy.

What kind of faith pleases God?
The Bible also shows us that not just any faith will do. We cannot expect God to be pleased with a faith just because we approve of it. The faith that pleases God is a belief that comes from God, not from some other source or from within ourselves.

Arrrr  so. You use wishes and prayers.
Nice. 

Do Wishes work like prayers.
I imagine they do.
I feel A Prayer is more powerful then a wish. 
There is many Avenues of ways to wish but.
You got ya ( Wishing wells )
Birthday cake wishes .
Star light star bloody bright wishing.
And Many more. 

Actually 
Does god except wishes? 

He so would. 
He'd  simply like convert them into prayer form.
Easy. 

I guarantee that wishes and prayers work EXACTLY THE SAME. 
That  being that they don't work FULL STOP.
So .
Same Same. 

Eye lash wishing . 
Rabbit feet wishing. 
Wishing. 
 So much more variety.  

So shill. 
Prayers   v   Wishing.  
Are they much a much ness ? 
It'll be close in ummmm, power. 
Da da da da . 
Pow pow pow bam bam. 

EXACTLY the same in stupidity. 

Chicken wish bone wishing. 

Hang on.
God would prob see wishing as like a witchcraft kind of deal hey ?
Like Satan would work on wishes one would think 

Dunno.
Amen and fingers crossed. 

Whats that. 
Faith.
Do i have faith in wishes.
He he he. 
Faith in wishes. 
Thats almost the same thing also hey. 
Nonsense.

Several passages in the Bible, particularly from the Gospels, contain instances where Jesus expresses desires or wishes. These often involve his hopes for humanity, his followers, or the fulfillment of God's will. 

Here are a few examples:
  • "I have come to cast fire upon the earth; and how I wish it were already kindled!" This verse expresses Jesus's desire for the transformative power of his message to spread rapidly. 

  • "If anyone wants to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me".Here, Jesus outlines the conditions for discipleship, indicating a desire for people to embrace a life of sacrifice and devotion. 

  • "If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you". This verse, while not a direct expression of Jesus's own wish, highlights the potential for believers to have their desires fulfilled through a close relationship with him and his teachings. 

  • In this passage, Jesus prays for his disciples and for all who will believe in him, expressing a desire for their unity and sanctification. 

  • During his crucifixion, Jesus prays, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." This demonstrates his compassion and desire for forgiveness even for those who are persecuting him

I was going to say before. 
The word and the meaning of (  Hope. )
Hope works. 
Its a ummm a good word to describe something.  
But FAITH. .
Its ummm.
Well , its to hard to grasp .
Hope works .
Like for example. 

Shilla . 
I hope you die in a grease fire. 
Hope. 
It works hey.
Thats for example. 

Not . 
I have faith shill that you will die in a grease fire.
Anyway. 
Its a thought.
