Christianity
The substance that acts on faith, capable of manifesting miracles.
Virtue, as a measurable, spiritually-able substance, as defined by Christ Jesus; recorded by the apostle Mark. According to the King James version of the Holy Bible, from within The book of Mark, Chapter (5), verses (25) through (33) by experiential definition.
25. And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years, 26. And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse, 27 When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment. 28 For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole. 29 And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague. 30 And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes? 31 And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me? 32 And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing. 33 But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.
Arguably paralleled: As Faith is the substance of things hoped for; the evidence of things not seen, according to The Book of Hebrews 11:1-3, as quoted from the King James version of the Holy Bible.
1. Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 2 For by it the elders obtained a good report. 3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
Terminological parallel: By these 2 examples set apart, one is made better aware of the necessity of a greater understanding, of the potential of virtue, as it is paralleled here by both; in "substance,' 'actions' and by the 'Person" of Christ Jesus or The Living Word of God, that each doing their own parts and/or in parallel, act on faith, with virtue and according to Biblical reference, are able to manifest miracles, by the Word of God.

Famous quotes containing the word christianity:
“The conversion of a savage to Christianity is the conversion of Christianity to savagery.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“What’s the greatest enemy of Christianity to-day? Frozen meat. In the past only members of the upper classes were thoroughly sceptical, despairing, negative. Why? Among other reasons, because they were the only people who could afford to eat too much meat. Now there’s cheap Canterbury lamb and Argentine chilled beef. Even the poor can afford to poison themselves into complete scepticism and despair.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“There are many definite methods, honest and dishonest, which make people rich; the only “instinct” I know of which does it is that instinct which theological Christianity crudely describes as “the sin of avarice.””
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
