Do YOU ever have doubts?

Question

christians, atheists, muslims etc etc do you have doubts in what you believe in? why and what are they?

Answer 1

Of course!
that is why i go to a christian church, yet I am not really sure I would call myself christian. i beleive in most the things taught, but I also beleive in evolution, and I doubt that the bible was completely translated correctly. So yes, sometimes I even doubt theres a god since I also beleive in science and sometimes that contradicts itself, but I also think they go in hand, and in the end, I do know there is a god.
but yes, I o have my doubts.

You have to question those you follow, not follow blindly.

Answer 2

When one has searched the world for answers ,and gone through horrific trauma,loss,grief and dispair,gone under a bus then got hit by a train they tend to gain some wisdom or they die.I used to doubt until I hit rock bottom and I mean you could not possibly get any lower,then I gradually opend my eyes to what was going on around me the more I started listening the more I learnt,then I had to know all ,Inearly went blind with study.Nowhere could I find my answers to my questions. then I looked at me and I went into myself.What was it that I was missing and do you know what it was me Ihad fogotten about what I wanted, to achieve, to live to love to do all that was joyfull and benefical to me, Yes it might sound selfish,but without me what would there be.An empty space at the table? A chid without a parent? An lonley old lady living next door that no one cares about? Sad to think about so, I will fill my space in whatever situation it may be ,If I give up and doubt me, these events will happen . I have passd many tests in life, love,etc... and suvived ,I dont doubt anymore,I know Ican do it.

Answer 3

I am a Christian and Im not ashamed to say that some days I have doubts. The past couple of days has been especially tough for some reason, however today I read an encouraging scirpture in Hebrews. It stated that the word of God is like a sharp scaple (The Message translation) able to cut through doubt. Even in the midst of my doubt, God is faithful and His grace is enough.

Answer 4

No doubts. It's taken me a long time to get to where I'm at. I belong to no religion, just a philosophy I guess you'd call it. I've learned that as long as I go with the flow and don't push the corners of the envelope to make things go the way "I" think I want them to go, it all works out for the best in the long run. There is something that guides me, if I let it, and I've learned to trust this something. When tragedy strikes, as it invariably does, I still trust. I may cry my anguished questions out loud in pain, but I know the answer will be given eventually and it will all make sense one day. And when that day comes, as it invariably does, that little light bulb goes on in my head and my heart or soul. I don't ever want to lose this.

Answer 5

I used to doubt my faith a lot. But as I studied the Word of God, fellow shipped with strong believers, and saw more "evidence," I began to doubt less and believe more.

There was no pressure or "brainwashing" as some non-believers are fond of saying. I was a "lukewarm" Christian, but God finally got my attention.

Now, I have NO doubt, although the enemy/satan tries to raise doubts, but I believe with all my heart. I no longer need "evidence" of God's love and the infallibility of His Word, although I do continue to see Miracles of God's goodness and mercy.

Whether my increase of faith and decrease of doubt is just maturity on my part, or God's perfect timing, I feel joy for the Lord and comfort in ANY storm or trouble. It is truly "a peace that passes all understanding." God bless.

Answer 6

I'm a Christian, baptized at age 7. I have doubts. Sometimes I think wouldn't it be sad if all these people's faith was for nothing, if we were all just praying to empty air...Does God really hear our prayers or care? But generally, I come through these times and something or someone inspires me or reassures me. There's nothing wrong with doubt. We should never be afraid to doubt or question.

Answer 7

I have no doubts in my faith, belief and savior...only self doubts like any other human being..Can I do this...did I really understand...those kinds of doubts yes I do.. But I am certain of my salvation even though I was a murderer and a promiscuous person and drug addict/ alcoholic before I came to Christ..I know that God loves me and understands me fully. No doubt about God at all thank you very much for asking.

Answer 8

I'm a Christian and Satan loves to stir up doubt, so I am sure that I experience doubt from time to time. The key is to pray for God's help when we feel this doubt - pray to increase our faith and not dwell on the doubt that has landed in our minds. God is not tangible, so it is human nature to doubt the intangible -- but God's love, mercy, and grace are felt in the heart. It is important to think on these things when feelings of doubt arise.

Answer 9

Atheist since I was 21, over a hundred years ago. Never a doubt.

Answer 10

I am suspicious when someone says they NEVER doubt. Sometimes I have doubts, I know that God's answer is sometimes no, or not now, but when you pray and pray and pray and pray and pray for something that is important and it doesn't happen, then you can have doubts wondering why? But then I just continue to believe, cause I know He is there, and someday I will have all my answers.
