One caused me to seriously question, but I made myself hold on to faith (I see now, looking back) because of the comfort that it brought me. The next made me see the answers that I hadn't wanted to acknowledge.

You are filled with wonderful questions and yes in 2003-2004 all hell broke loose in my life and I wanted to walk away from the Lord because I felt if God loved me I should not have to hit rock bottom when I serve God and do my best.
I was in a church that was preaching wrong doctrine saying you will be rewarded for all you do tithe nothing bad will happen to you and because I was a young believer I did not know enough to refute or challenge this devilish doctrine.
But I learned a very painful lesson, God is the one who is in charge not me and the only good I have is because of the Lord Jesus, it is not my place to judge others harshly but to pray for them to see the light of the Lord.
This effected the way I know believe because as I said in a previous post because of what Jesus did on the cross I am forgiven and I am restored. Jesus is enough. He is all there is He is all we need.

To my shame, a trauma temporarily affected how I behaved, but it did not affect what I believe. In fact, because of my belief, I had to work through the hurt and betrayal quickly. Before I was grounded in what I do believe, I could have carried that grudge for years! Now I know better.

I was 23 yrs of age, and I spoke to God about a woman sense I can remember, afraid that he would come back and I would not have one in heaven. Then I got sick in loneliness, and the Lord showed me a vision of heaven and my wife and I together. I woke up, and I told my mother about it, and she showed me the bible, that there are no marriages in heaven. I had a collapse of faith that day, here I am for 16yrs praying to God for a wife, and he could not tell me we are not forever tell I got sick.......6yrs later in a seek full mind unto God for the answers, I stand alone with a wife in heaven....but that is another story. It just changed the way I see the christian way, and how I look at the body. This was a big turning point for me.

Yes, I had in one year 6 friends go to be with the Lord. It was when I was 39 and it made me change my mind about turning 40 and since turning 40 I don't mind telling my age anymore. It's no longer an issue.

My younger brother died of cancer this summer, after I had prayed for him to live for 15 years, since the "c" word threatened his life.
I hope we meet in heaven, like I promised him we would.

Yes, I turned away from the catholic religion completely because of how my fathers suicide was treated and how it affected my family.

Yes. The death of my first girlfriend. For a time I became anti-God and anti-Christ. Then I studied the scriptures and learned ancient Greek to see if they were full of errors and from a little conversation I had with God, we resolved our differences.

I think lack of any event affected my beliefs and caused them to die; spiritual beliefs, that is.

No, my beliefs have rather sustained me in my manifold temptations and very difficult trials. My faith and beliefs have been tested....I have found,that I really do understand what I believe.
