I know some of you have very strong faith. Do you ever consider you might be wrong? Do you ever think that God is not the way your religion makes him out to be? or maybe he doesn't exist at all?

My immediate response is never, but then I thought back to highschool and yeah I thought about it probably everyday. I think what changed was having my son, maybe it is him or maybe it is that everything went wrong when I had him but I wouldn't change any of it to lose him. I now have no doubt that there is a God, I can't imagine how there couldn't be.

1) Yes, there are definitely times that believers have faith struggles. This is especially true for myself when what I perceive as unfair situations that bring turmoil into my life. But given time I can always look back and see how the perceived negative became a platform to make it into a positive experience.
2) I know that everyone of faith perceives God differently and this doesn't really bother me because God cannot be contained by human barriers.
3) Too many instances in my life that could never be rationally explained about from God's existence. As St. Aquinas asked, "How can you argue about something or someone that does not exist?"

I call myself a Christian because I am one with Christ therefore God sees and hears me. I have faith in Christ. Do I agree with others who are Christians- probably not in most instances. Do I think God is what people make Him out to be. Certainly not. I know Him, He is not what many percieve in ther closed minds. On the other hand do I agree with most Christains on the one thing that is important-that being Christ is the only way to salvation-absolutley! This is the oly hting in the end what matters. So in that alone I am one with all the children of God through Christ.

You know, why don't you feel God like I do?
I almost never doubt God, he's more real than communicating with you right now.
I truly absolutely know he is real, my life basically has been on the line many times, he save me every time, and warns me in other times.
AND I have felt his presence intervene to me, and felt what he said in my head," I am happy with you" and he communicates in so many other ways.
I know he is real, I know I am not wrong, God is by my side, I'll do things most people don't dare, because I trust him to help when it's needed. I have enough proof for myself to know that all nonbelievers are very wrong, and that I do feel sorry, and hope someday that the scales fall off their eyelids...... Peace!

NEVER!!!!! I am a born again Christian and I know God is real! As real as the air I breath! Just because something is not visable doesn't mean it does not exist. I see God everyday of my life! He has never left me, not once. Even when I have left him! Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. Hebrews 11:1 And without faith it is impossible to please God,because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. Hebrews 11:6 Those who know your name will trust in you, for you, Lord, have never forsaken me. Psalm 9:10

I pray for 3 hours every day, and I still doubt God's existence a little each day. A little doubt is necessary, no matter what anyone else here tells you.
Would you want to follow a god who demands blind faith?
Of course not, so what're you worried about?

To be honest I question His existance pretty regularly. Even though I have a lot of evidence in my life to support His existance I often wonder if I have it wrong. I'm sure Im not right about everything, but I often wonder if any of my wrongs are REALLY wrong. And there are many a time I just wonder really if He exists at all.

I doubt that if God is real, that He is what a lot of people say He is. I can not understand why anyone would want to have a God who sends people to hell. I would like to believe in a kind, just God who does not turn His back on anyone, whether they believe or not.

When you receive him as your Lord and Savior your world will turn right side up and you will never be the same. This kind of personal experience cannot be forgotten and it is in total agreement with the bible. 2 Corinthians 5:17-Therefore if any man [be] in Christ, [he is] a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

I can honestly say that I have never doubted God's existence. I doubted my first "indoctrination" into religion and left it when I was 30 to begin a search for truth. I now believe I have found it and have no fear nor despair.
