why do christians believe, that doubt is sin?

Question

at all: is thinking sin? and what for then did god give us some brain? to turn it off from the start ?

Answer 1

If You actually Believe that Christians are not allowed to think then you my friend know nothing about Christianity.

What do you think we do all day, sit around fireplaces and read Bibles? We ski, swim, play sports, read, have friends and problems like anybody else. Christianity is not boring. nor are we not allowed to think, It is an adventure worth living.

Answer 2

they don't

maybe some Christians in the USA believe that doubt is sin, and thinking, too

come to Europe! we had the time of enlightenment, so we are proud to use our brain

Answer 3

I'm a Christian, and I don't believe that doubting is a sin. In the Bible, Thomas doubted, and Jesus had mercy on him.

Answer 4

Christianity fits into the definition of "cult".

cult (noun)
1. a particular system of religious worship, esp. with reference to its rites and ceremonies.
2. the object of such devotion.
3. a group or sect bound together by veneration of the same thing, person, ideal, etc.
4. Sociology. a group having a sacred ideology and a set of rites centering around their sacred symbols.
[[and my favourite one]]
5. a religion or sect considered to be false, unorthodox, or extremist, with members often living outside of conventional society under the direction of a charismatic leader.

If people were to really think about it they'd realise how ridiculous it is and stop believing.

Answer 5

James 1:6-8
But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. Those who doubt should not think they will receive anything from the Lord; they are double-minded and unstable in all they do.

Doubt = diakrinō (to separate, make a distinction, discriminate, to prefer, to learn by discrimination, to try, decide, to determine, give judgment, decide a dispute, to withdraw from one, desert, to separate one's self in a hostile spirit, to oppose, strive with dispute, contend, to be at variance with one's self, hesitate, doubt)
Dia = through
Krinō= to separate, put asunder, to pick out, select, choose, to approve, esteem, to prefer, to be of opinion, deem, think, to be of opinion, to determine, resolve, decree, to judge, to pronounce an opinion concerning right and wrong, to be judged, i.e. summoned to trial that one's case may be examined and judgment passed upon it, to pronounce judgment, to subject to censure, of those who act the part of judges or arbiters in matters of common life, or pass judgment on the deeds and words of others, to rule, govern, to preside over with the power of giving judicial decisions, because it was the prerogative of kings and rulers to pass judgment, to contend together, of warriors and combatants, to dispute, to go to law, have suit at law

1 Corinthians 1 is pertinent. Verse 20 says: "Where are the wise? Where is the teacher of the law? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?"

Matthew 18:3 says: "Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven." Young children have a brain, do they not? Apparently, they are the spiritual leaders for Christians.
