Why is so hard to understand, that everything mirrors itself? That there are no demons, and no angels. No good, nor evil...just reflections of ourselves.

the doubt is within yourself....

The Bible is God's main means of answering our questions, even though He many times answers us in other ways also. And if you think that there are no demons, no (good) angels, no good, or no evil, I think that you had better open your eyes. For there is good all around us, but there is also evil present. There is certainly demons all over the earth and the universe. Where do you think that the doubt and the evil comes from; or who causes it? It is certainly not God. The best way to become possessed by demons, is to not believe in them. I suggest that you ask God to open your blinded eyes. Even the best Christians have doubt to some extent at one time or another. But you can rest assured, that it is the work of Satan and his demon spirits who cause us to have doubt. All that a person can do, is to ask for God's forgiveness, and continue reading the Word of God, and faith will eventually overcome all the doubt. I pity your soul, for it is very evident that you know nothing about God or about his Holy Word.

Reading the bible isn't the answer to doubt. And having the Holy Spirit in you isn't the answer either. I have had the Holy Spirit in me and I have read the bible. I still have doubts. Why? Because I am human. I have a brain and I use it. I have been to bible studies. I have studied the bible and not just read it. I still have doubts. Maybe that is why I am in another religion now. I had doubts and questions that no one could or would answer and now I have found someplace that I feel I belong to and if I have doubts or questions, they get answers.

not everybody believes in the bible. Some believe only in parts, but not all. Some don't believe, some only believe.
I honestly fully believe in the existence of angels and good. But sure there are parts of the bible I"m not entirely sure of. Basically, you have to realize the bible was "only inspired" by God, it was written by men. Who will naturally put their own perspective on the story. Also, the new testament alone was written 2000 yrs ago,in Aramaic. It has since been translated millions of times, by millions of religious sects who do believe in the bible and will also put their own perspective onto things. So there will always be a small amt. of doubt in a lot of minds. But I do think the Bible is a good guide book to life.

The doubt comes from those who don't believe. Jesus Himself said about the non-believers: Though they have eyes they do not see, and ears they do not hear. It's only after you've become a child of God, that the Holy Spirit enters you, and you can start to perceive the meanings of the Bible. Before then, the Bible is just meaningless.

Are you trying to debunk the Bible? Where do you get the idea that the Bible has all the answers? Answers to what questions?
Apparently you either ignore or don't know the nature of doubt or self-knowledge.
"No good or evil, just reflections of ourselves"? What kind of pseudo philosophical nonsense are you referring to?

Knowing the answers and living the way you are suppose to are very difficult.So it is easier to doubt. If you can't see it ,it must not be true,but that is called faith .
It seems the ones that have the most to say against the Christians know the least about the Holy Bible.

The Bible doesn't have all the answers. Heck, the Bible could be a fictional book! Who even jknows if any of this stuff exists?
Where is the evidence that any of the things in the Bible even happened?
I doubt it all because there is no EVIDENCE!

There's only doubt if you don't believe.
But I do agree with part of your understanding that "everything mirrors itself" that is why there "are" demons, and angels, good and evil... we are reflections of our human existence.

Regardless of what religion leads you to believe, the bible is a man made tool. The bible itself says it isn't, and in my mind that isn't a worthy argument. Being manmade it doesn't have all the answers, not even close. This statment is not to take steam from any sort of God, its just the fact, we made the bible.

God allows for some doubt so that you can exercise faith and free will.
You don't believe that there is good and evil in this world? Are you crazy? Do you think that it is not good to provide food and shelter to orphans? Do you think that it is not bad for children to shoot each other in school?
Just wait until you get mugged and then decide if there is evil in this world. (Don't wory, it is not a threat, but there is a random possibility that it can happen.)
