"We live by faith, not by sight." -2 Corinthians 5:7?
How can anyone follow Christianity with a verse like this?

I saw it on someones facebook page and it had like 80,000 likes lol.

If the hard evidence shows that the Bible isn't correct is it fair for God to say, just follow faith?

There is tons of empirical evidence for God.

People just disregard it.

Because our God does not lie

Num 23:19 God [is] not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do [it]? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?

Rodger, if was a theoretical if. As in, if someday it happens, you would disregard it because you live by faith, and not by what is right in front of you.

Edit: Empirical- based on, concerned with, or verifiable by observation or experience rather than theory or pure logic

By that logic, you then have to say that there are real psychics, ghosts, and aliens, since those all have empirical evidence. Your logic is flawed.

tou are taking this out of context what it means is that you will Want to be with him by faith and not by sight , because if you be with him by sight where is he found? that is why many people are like where is he? where is GOD? and then they lack faith but the thing that makes me upset is that people lie to people about something that can save them from going to heaven and then they defend the lie

The correct translation of the Greek is '...we walk by faith not through appearance or fashion '. The true Christian follows the word of God in the Bible and is not guided by the atheistic, materialistic, secular world.

That's all we have. We are unable to see God as he is a spirit creature, but we can look around us at creation, read the scriptures and strengthen our faith in himself and his promises in the bible. Walking by faith requires implicit trust in God’s ability to direct our lives. We must be fully convinced that he really knows what is in our best interests. (Psalm 119:66) As we make decisions in life and act on them, we take into account “realities we do not see.” (Hebrews 11:1, These include the promised “new heavens and a new earth.” (2 Peter 3:13) Walking by sight, on the other hand, means that we pursue a life course governed solely by what we perceive with our physical senses. This is dangerous because it can lead to our ignoring God’s will altogether.—Psalm 81:12; Ecclesiastes 11:9.

How can anyone not follow God with all the proof there is of Him all around us? How are people so blind? The world, and what others portray as "facts" sadly makes them blind to the truth.
Obviously you are one who follows what man deceives you with rather then the truth that God has shown us so clearly.
There is no hard evidence that shows the bible is incorrect. There is no evidence at all that proves the bible to be incorrect. But there is however a lot of evidence that proves the bible to be correct.
Study it and find out for yourself instead taking others word for it, and following in there path. The false information that the people in this world spit out and call "facts", "proof", and "evidence" of there being no creator, or God's word not being the truth is pure deceitfulness. Instead of people honestly studying the bible for themselves and learning the truth about God and His word themselves, they take others word for it and follow down a false path. And those who say they have studied the bible and still don't believe, so clearly do not comprehend what they are studying. If you study God's word for yourself, and honestly seek Him out yourself and are able to put all of what He has provided us with together, you will find the truth yourself. You won't be able to deny it, and you will easily understand how we as believers live by faith and not by sight.
God bless you!!

@Lily ---as i said in my answer, if the bible were correctly studied and someone studied it with the right intentions and motive, they would find the truth in it, in God. Knowing God and His word to be true is in all reality using logic, and using common sense. It is so clear, He is undeniable.
