I believe in god but at times I question his/hers power and presence in the world. Am I a bad person?

Question

Hope you guys dont go crazy over this.....

Answer 1

every one questions God's powers sometimes, that does not make you bad. what matters is that u don't stop believing

Answer 2

Everyone questions the existence of a God. What do you expect.
Here is an entity who is a master at playing hide and seek.

Look around you however; this planet, natural creation, the stars, millions of galaxies, the birth of a child, the colours of a rainbow. How did all this get here? There is someone/something/someforce, that is orchestrating and holding this entire created universe into existence.

If you think this universe is operating on its own. Think again.
Your heart does not beat, just because its supposed to. There is something that keeping it alive. It could be You. But who are you?

Question your own existence? Dig deep within your own self and the answers you seek will come to you.

Answer 3

The short answer - No, take it easy on yourself - we're all trying to get through this one day at a time.

The long answer - I believe in God but not religion. If there were no religions, we could probably eliminate 75% of the wars and terrorists in the world. A good line from a movie once went something like this; " Remember if you stop believing in God, God still believes in you.

Now there will be Religious Righties who are going to write "How can you believe in God without Religion ?" . . . easy - search within your own heart and listen . . . we all know what is the right way to live, the difficult part is doing it.

Answer 4

Not a bad person. Examining one own beliefs and spirituality show growth. Explore your ideas and look for ways that God shows his presence in this world though kind actions of others and miracles

Answer 5

nooo!
NEVER stop questioning ANYTHING!
that is exactly how the nazis got all of germany to follow them. ie they taught everyone to OBEY---NOT to question

dont think for a second that just because everyone else believes it it must be true
the world can be convinced of LIES
the main purpose of the military rallies in which thousands and thousands of people saluted Hitler was to drown out in the individual persons mind the thought that he might be a bad man
they hoped that if a person looked around and saw that many people praising hitler, that that person would follow him to, and it worked throughout all of Germany

personally i am not christian but will not go into this

Answer 6

Yes! If you believed in GOD or knew anything about God you would know that God is a he and not a her. And you could not believe in GOD if you question His presence for if you believed you would know this truth that His presense is upon the earth......only for His children!

Answer 7

"Questioning" by itself does not automatically make you a "bad" person, unless you've done something else in addition to it and it's something against The Law...

However, if you DO QUESTION God's presence [i.e., existence vs. non-existence] in the world, then I imagine that that would make you an 'Agnostic' simply by its definition.

Peace be with you!

Answer 8

No, you're not a bad person at all. Sometimes our times of doubt and questioning are times that can strengthen us and strengthen our faith. Those are serious questions that many people throughout history have wrestled with.

Answer 9

No. You are a normal person. If you believe blindly you may have an issue, but if you question, you will become a stronger person with better defined beliefs.

Answer 10

Will God ever come back for us? Of course
Waiting on God does not have to be bad. Just trust that you won't miss heaven if you seek it.
