Technically we shouldn't. God isn't to blame. Christ was mocked, scourged, humiliated, beaten, spit upon, laughed at, and crucified. He carried his cross. We should carry our cross. There is something better to look forward to if we persevere. Our life on earth is like a flicker of a candle (in time) as opposed to what good things are in store for for an eternity. Blessed are the humble for they shall be exalted.

On the other hand, sometimes if everything that can possibly go wrong, goes wrong, then one should seek a priest. A diabolical "oppression" (different than an obsession and possession) can occur in some people and only spiritual help of a priest can do good.

When I was about 10 years old I questioned the faith that was forced upon me, so I have no reason to worry about anything now that I can make my own life choices and go along with my life plan and not some invisible man in the sky's.

No. There is frequently good that comes from bad. For example, I have had four of my babies in the womb. With each loss, my faith has grown stronger. I love God more. I can offer this pain of my losses up for other's intentions. There is a reason for everything. And God's Will is always perfect. :)

No I wouldn't. We were never promised a trouble free life. Why would I question my faith just because something bad happens? That's silly.

It already does in my life and no I dont question my faith, it should make you stronger to know that someone out there is not going to let you go through it alone and hope you reach out and ask him for help

No... when things go wrong it can either bring us closer to God or take us farther away. Bad things do happen but its God that brings us through the trials. Like the footprints in the sand... He carries us.

hey, it's the story of my life...my father died in april, my mother thought she had cancer, my sister is getting a divorce, my great niece died at 5 days old, my boyfriend and i broke up, i moved, and my daughter in law had surgery...all since april...
if i questioned my faith every time something happened...i'd be questioning all the time...so, no, i don't question things...they are the way they are for a reason...what? i don't really know

No! myself as well as hundreds of thousand "MATURE" believers wouldn't question our faith!....why? because mature believers know that everything happens for a reason!....which means, either a person is reaping something back, being tested by the devil, or involved with someone with familiar spirits that they have no business being invovled with which will effect their life! etc. etc. etc.!.....(Gal. 5: 7,8).....Seach the scriptures and you will find your answers!

No. My example is Job. No one has ever seen the misery this man went through. What did he say?

"The Lord has given, the Lord has taken away....blessed be the name of the Lord".

I pray to God in good times and bad....especially in bad....that I will always raise my voice, hands and heart to Him in praise.

I question it right now, regardless of something going wrong in my life.
