Do you doubt your beliefs?

Question

I've often doubt my beliefs, and I continue to question them.

Do you question or doubt your beliefs at times?

I'd be grateful if you could also let me know what religion you class yourself as.

Answer 1

I think my 'beliefs' for want of a better word, are continuously evolving. And questioning is part of the evolving.

I try to follow the way of the Tao. Because it makes sense to me. Whether I will still think of myself as a 'Taoist' in ten years time, I don't know. Perhaps that label won't fit so well. Who knows?

Perhaps in time I will drop all the labels and just 'be'. But I'm enjoying the journey as a Taoist right now.

Answer 2

I believe it's always good to question and doubt things as it makes you learn. Otherwise you would be following something blindly and that is never good as you can make rash decisions and come to wrong conclusions.

If you doubt your beliefs then you most likely have good reason. I say research, research and research! Know your religion thoroughly before blindly following something. Don't just believe what people tell you....find your facts first.

You may just find that your idea's don't fit exactly with what you fell. that is o.k. Research and find out what does.

I personally do not have a religious class as I find myself to be more spiritual combining beliefs that I found from many different religions (I lean toward Pagan and Buddist). I think I will continue to search for answers for the rest of my life as religion is a matter of opinion and belief...no matter what anyone says it CAN NOT be proved.

btw...I grew up Catholic and have completely rejected that faith along with most Christian beliefs as it is not only the cause of most wars in the world, it is based on lies and a book that was written by man and complied by men who got to choose what stories they wanted to include and exlcude. That is a FACT...research it! I have.

Answer 3

i'm type of dealing with an similar mission yet slightly further alongside (and that i wasn't christian at the same time as it began). even though it really is an similar concept. you'll keep an open concepts for your pal's arguments without being an atheist. you do not ought to renounce god to re-evaluate about countless the belongings you've been taught. no longer each and every thing is floor element undemanding and in case you could go by this doubt and re-verify each and every thing and detect a sparkling element of stability with it, and are available out of all that still believing in God-then your faith will be even superior on the different end. do not push it, purely detect it. do not renounce your faith, purely well known that there are different perspectives you could pick to imagine about as to how the international operates. do not leap off the deep end purely because your pal is sweet at providing her recommendations, verify you recognize the position your obstacles are and the position the lines were infringed upon.

Answer 4

I think that doubting and questioning one's beliefs is a sign of intelligence and open-mindedness. Yes, I doubt my beliefs. I am an agnostic with a deep appreciation for the beauty in the world around me, but with a sense of the improbability of the existence of God. Sometimes I still feel that there must be some larger force responsible for the world around me, and sometimes I feel sure that there must not be a God of any kind. But these doubts only serve to strengthen my convictions that we must find our own meaning in the world through acts of kindness and creativity, regardless of whether or not there is a God.

Answer 5

Doubt is not a sin. God created us as intelligent beings, because He is Intelligence itself. Doubt is wondering, asking, examining. A faith that won't stand up to honest questioning isn't worth much.
Doubt and disbelief are two entirely different things. Those who refuse to believe a thing just because they choose to, no matter what, cannot be helped.
I am a Christian, but yes, I question, doubt, wonder--and accept that I could be mistaken in everything but the reality of God's love for His creation.

Answer 6

No, not anymore! The more I seek God, in His word the more He strengthens my faith and reveals Himself to me....and it is amazing! The more excited I get to know He is the only way, truth and life--just as John 14:6 says.
Of course when I was younger there were times I often doubted, but only for a short moment, it is like nothing can take away my belief in Christ--- just as Jesus says to his sheep (those who are born again in Him)
John 10:28
I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand.

Answer 7

I regularly question what I believe. I try to find folk to chat with whose beliefs are different from my own as a way of sharpening what I believe. Other help me examine what I believe and why. It is the "real" chicken soup for the soul.

I am a Christian.

Answer 8

Any belief worth living is worth questioning.
If it cannot take honest doubt thrown at it it is very shaky.
But I have also learned to doubt my doubts!!
I have no religion. I am a Christian

Answer 9

I am a born again, baptised in the Spirit Christian and I never doubt my belief or the One I believe in.

Answer 10

I'm a skeptic. I never found a set of beliefs that makes me comfortable. No moral code seems to cover everything. I struggle with this most days.

I won't say I'm not happy. I've learned that to accept that lack of firmness in my beliefs, to live expectantly.

I wish you luck with your search.
