Knowing. IMHO knowing reflects objective, God-created reality. E.g., I know a zebra has black and white stripes; no act of faith is required on my part; the zebra exists whether I believe God created it or not; and it has the stripes whether I believe it or not. Faith, on the other hand, is subjective—dependent on each human individual's choices and actions.
Why do I say God created the zebra? Because I observe the objective fact that nothing creates itself or has ever done so. Some outside force, logically, therefore must have created it. There's no rational way to talk about an entity that exists outside the universe of all things that exist; so we anthropomorphize the Creative Force and name it God in order to discuss it.
However, since objectively knowing God exists and that the Christ-nature is within us is off the table, that leaves faith: belief without knowing.
Faith is believing what is not seen so it becomes seen. It’s the creative power itself within us. You were never meant to rely on the Christ who existed outside of you, but the Christ, the creative power, being your imagination, within you.
Which is why so many Christians live such mundane, miraculousless lives. They turned Jesus into an idol like all lost people before them and missed the point entirely.
Oh well. Someday perhaps.
