Tim Barnett (Stand to Reason): faith is not an epistemology but a way of trusting; knowledge and trust are distinct categories

There’s a literal “Manual for Creating ATHEISTS” 00:18:59 – 00:22:06

Video clip from Tim Barnett responding to Boghossian

Barnett argues biblical faith is not a way of knowing but a way of trusting. He cites Mark 2 (Jesus healing the paralytic): Jesus provides a miracle (evidence/knowledge) so the observers know who he is, and can then trust him about forgiveness of sins. Knowledge and trust come together but they are not the same thing. He quotes William Lane Craig: "Boghossian wants to make faith an epistemological category instead of a moral virtue... faith is a way of trusting something; faith is trusting in that which you have reason to believe is true." Faith is trusting in what you already know to be true through reliable epistemological means.
