Definition
Faith and the Limits of Knowledge refers to the recognition that human understanding is finite and that faith begins where certainty ends.
Context
Within subjective faith, individuals cannot rely on institutional authority to resolve ambiguity. Knowledge remains partial. Faith, therefore, is not the absence of reason but the acceptance of epistemic limitation.
This concept aligns with humility as one of the Four L’s and with Spiritual Perspicuity as a recurring trait. It guards against both rigid dogmatism and intellectual paralysis.
Implications
Recognizing limits cultivates openness to correction and ongoing research. It also supports the platform’s commitment to scrutiny and refinement.
Faith becomes an active posture rather than a static possession.
Common Misunderstanding
Emphasizing the limits of knowledge is sometimes interpreted as skepticism. The Yeshuan Model does not deny truth. It denies exhaustive human access to it.
