Believers, have you ever questioned (doubted) the existence of God?

Question

Why, or why not? What makes you beleive, what convinces you that a God exists, and that "he" keeps tabs on your everyday life?

Answer 1

Yes I have doubted the exstence of God, and I'm sorry I did. I love God and know He is here and everywhere at once. He loves us so much. God exists because He changed my life. He made me make a decision I didn't want to make, It took me five years to make it, I just made it not to long ago. It was really reallly hard, I'll tell you that. But I'm glad I did it. I'm actually happy now. It has been a LONG time since I was really truely happy. I try to do what He asks of me, even though I think sometimes it's a lot. I'm just glad that He is a merciful and loving God. May God bless you.

Answer 2

I questioned the existence of God until I was 18 years old. When I was in high school I looked around at everything that was going on and thought there couldn't possibly be a God. I did not grow up in the church and did not have much influence one way or the other as to whether there was a God or not. This was 20+ years ago. Then it happened, the Lord started drawing me toward Him. It was as if I had been oblivious before and out of the woodwork people started saying things to me related to Jesus Christ. Over a period of 6-7 months my outlook really changed and I received Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. As I grew I saw the Lord's work more and more in my life. I suppose you could say that my personal view of whether there is a God or not is neither here nor there. Where is the proof? The proof is in Bible prophecy. There are 8000 verses of prophecy in the Bible, 90% of those prophecies have been fulfilled. Scholars have listed over 100 prophecies in the Old Testament relating to the birth, earthly mission, death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus. Everyone of them fulfilled. The odds of one man fulfilling only 48 of those prophecies is 1 to 10 with 157 zeros following it. There is historical proof that Jesus lived from the writings of Josephus, Tacitus, Pliny the Younger, Lucian and the Babylonian Talmud. Yes God exists and He sent His only Begotten Son to die for our sins. I don't know why He loves us, but He does.

He has done amazing things in my life. The most amazing has been how our adopted son joined our family.

Answer 3

I have, many times... When I see the double standards in the Bible regarding men and woman... When I read that all sins are equal and then read how God finds something like homosexuality as an abomination.. When I see innocent children die in a war thats not their war and in wich they have no part of.... But then I look around, feel the comfort of God in small thing like a new born child, love from someone you meet for the first time.. Help out of a problem u see no answer to.. And I know, there is a God.

Answer 5

hi. of direction, I definitely have puzzled God's existence. although evolution in no way made experience and that i knew sufficient approximately technology to renowned it extremely is crammed with holes and suspicious, the habit and unusual ideals of church homes very practically made me atheist. (i began college at age 10 interpreting archaeology and became a preacher's daughter in the Methodist faith..I already knew maximum of the coaching in church became pagan and not Bible as my Dad knew it. He had 13 ranges which includes 3 doctoral ranges at his dying before this 365 days). I encountered Jehovah's Witnesses and commenced systematically interpreting the Bible, non secular historic previous, faith, creation VS evolution (not "creationism or resourceful evolution which maximum church homes have faith), and different issues and grew to alter right into a Christian lower back on my own. i've got been writing/chatting with people throughout of all ideologies and faiths for some years now and my awareness of information and certainty has grown and my faith has not been wavered or lessened, yet in basic terms gained artillary. Debbie playstation The "contradictions" and artitrary stuff is in faith not the Bible. The church homes practice lots artifical and pagan stuff that's not even humorous. those recommendations at the instant are not provided in or sanctioned by using the Bible although.

Answer 6

I believe in a god...not like Christians but more as a unity that flows throughout the universe...when you study science it seems that there is some kind of intelligence at work - things organize, entropy is reversed by life...it is truly amazing.

Answer 7

no. here is my answer as no one has ever seen the wind yet all have seen the effects of the wind so therefore the wind exists. the same is true with GOD. look at all the glories in the heavens and on the earth and one can see the handiwork of THE ALMIGHTY. yet THE ALMIGHTY is invisible like the wind to our 5 mortal senses

Answer 8

I've doubted the existence of the God that is described in the Christian religion, but have since learned that the one true God is nature, so therefore, I've never doubted that.

Answer 9
