After reading and questioning deeply approximately faith, I realised in mid-teenage that faith became based upon no longer something yet itself, that technology defined nature satisfactorily with out desiring supernatural beings, and that non secular ideals have been no diverse to those of historical ideals in gods and goddesses. when I first had doubts approximately my faith i presumed that in step with risk this became a attempt of it, which became an thought planted in my recommendations by those coaching us approximately our faith.

That became almost 40 5 years in the past, and my escape from faith has freed me to embody what technology has to grant, which I evaluate lots greater attainable than perception in the supernatural, and is the closest we can get to the reality approximately how nature and the universe artwork. i've got felt a feeling of freedom ever on condition that, and am happy and at peace with this. and that i've got got here across the humility to confess that i do no longer comprehend each little thing, quite than protecting this by invoking a deity.

Answer 3

Sometimes, bad things happen because out of it, a good thing will come out. Not all bad things are punishment from God. Sometimes they are only chastisements from him to remind us. Because a few people will not remember God if good things will be endowed to him. Many of us, remember the Giver if we are in trouble or in despair. And maybe God uses these things so that we can spend time with him, talking and reflecting. We must never lose faith on our God. He is a God of Justice and also of mercy. God, in Job's case, used the 'series of unfortunate events' to bring back to Job, bless him and return to him a hundred fold that were taken fro him.

Everyone has to be traumatized sometime in their life, it's a character builder. Sometimes God is just testing your faith, ever read that in the bible? Love your God, be true to him, and I promise He will do the same for you. Everything you ask of Him, you won't receive. But, if He gave us everything we ask for, what would our lives really be like? I have the problem of questioning His decisions, but I know in my heart He knows what's best, and when it's best. The most you can do is, "keep on pushing". If you quit, you will never succeed

Funny how people are always ready to blame God for the bad things that happen, but can't remember to thank Him for the good.

Answer 9

Atheism doesn't mean faith in self. It means not believing in a supreme being as the term is defined in the bible/Torah/Koran. The loss of faith in self is bad self-esteem, which has nothing to do with religion or spirituality.

Answer 10

No i wouldnt. Evrything that happence to us is happening for a reason. Most of the time its to test you and see were your faith lies. The bible says that you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you. And it also says that we will have trials and tribulation. As long as i can remeber this i can keep my faith and push through whatever happence.
