Those in the bible who knew God and Jesus were real still had faith. Are you claiming that they did not?
The bible is the claim, not the evidence. Are you still unclear on the distinction?
But, if those fictitious characters had been real, they would have been face-to-face with a human that they
knew to be real. The
faith would've come in when they believed that he was a god. Very separate issues. They did not, could not
know that he was a god. That would have been the end of their faith. Given your posting history to date, I have reason to doubt that you will be able to fathom that.
