How do you respond to these questions of faith?

Question

God created everything.

God hears my prayers and answers them.

Through my worship of God and my obedience to Him, my living soul will gain entrance to Heaven after I die.

Neither the souls of good people nor the souls of bad people will every die, but will reside in either Heaven or Hell for eternity according to God's judgment of them.

I am a sinner.

I am not worthy of Gods grace.

I do not doubt God and I believe everything the Bible tells me.

(please see the additional details of this question.)

These are common questions of faith that most people will be able to respond to without question.... Can you?

If you doubt or have ever doubted any of the above, are you truly a believer of God?

If your faith ever falters, are you truly a believer of God?

If you have issues with any of the above, should you reconsider you belief?

Answer 1

There was a question in the beginning and at the end people. I did have issues with all of the above when I was a child, and yes, I believe one should reconsider their beliefs if that occurs. Is it just me or did most of the people who responded to this question just not get it?

Answer 2

"7) Well aren't you adorable, you can kneel down and receive my sacrement, anytime! (I say this line to door knocking annoyances, it sends them running for cover)."

Ha! I bet door-to-door evangelists don't try too hard to convert YOU, do they? hahahahaha, I would LOVE to see the look on their faces...you must really scare the crap out of them.

In answer to R U Randy's statement:

"Neither the souls of good people nor the souls of bad people will every die, but will reside in either Heaven or Hell for eternity according to God's judgment of them."

A lot of Christians don't believe that sinners are kept in existence for eternity. Some believe that it takes a short time to burn into nonexistence in Hell, and some believe that they just wink out altogether. In fact, some Christians even believe that Heaven may be eternal, but that the existence of our souls is finite. I haven't heard anybody define how long they believe they'll enjoy their reward in Heaven, but I guess you could theorize that it's anywhere between 100 and 1,000,000 years

Who knows what they think, but if you're a Christian (sorry to assume if you're not), then you may want to examine the beliefs of other fellow Christians a bit. Besides, was that message inspired in you, or was it what your pastor that told you? Most Christians claim a better relationship with God after they've chosen to let the Spirit inspire the answers in them.

Answer 3

a million. in case you actual have been to take an purpose look at paganism and then an purpose look at Catholicism, you may even see that they are 2 various issues. 2. this actual sentence is punctiliously incorrect: "jointly as enduring the early persecutions of the Roman government (sixty 5-3 hundred A.D.), maximum of professing Christianity went by way of a gentle departure from New testomony doctrine concerning to church government, worship and prepare." Um, the NT wasn't canonized until after 3 hundred A.D., so it somewhat is impossible for Christians to have departed from NT doctrine because of the fact the NT did no longer exist yet. there became the Church and a determination of writings that no longer actually anybody had get right of entry to to and that's it. 3. "The Roman Emperor Constantine known himself because of the fact the top of the church around 313 A.D" is likewise factually incorrect. Constantine became under no circumstances pope, under no circumstances head of the Church. that's organic foolishness. examine a background e book. look on the checklist of popes from Peter on. His call isn't on it. 4." by way of popes, bishops, and monks, devil ruled Europe, and Biblical Christianity grew to become unlawful." rather, what you assert here is that Jesus lied while He reported the gates of hell does not be triumphant against the Church (Mt sixteen:19). And factually, there has under no circumstances been a pope or a bishop or a priest who banned Biblical Christianity. The Bible does not exist if no longer for the Church. 5." interior the Bible there are not any popes or monks to rule over the church." 2 issues incorrect with that assertion. First, popes and monks do no longer RULE, they lead by way of service. 2nd, the NT of course shows Peter is the chief of the 1st Church. he's the only that won particular coaching from Jesus and the Holy Spirit, his call constantly comes first (and greater beneficial than all the different apostles mixed), he speaks for the Church at Pentecost, and so on. 6. Popes do no longer marry NOW, yet they did interior the previous. that's a non-undertaking. 7. Catholics do no longer worship Mary. we adore her, yet we don't equate her with God. 8. The 4 links you presented are Catholic hate sites, full of fake suggestions approximately Catholicism.

Answer 4

Some people seem to think that faith is this static thing, and if a person believes in God, it means they should never doubt. I beg to differ with those people.

Faith ONLY grows by challenging it. Seriously. What happens to something that remains static for too long? It atrophies, or it becomes stagnant.

Also, because we're human, we were MADE to question everything. I have my own theories on all of the above. It took twenty years of atheism/skepticism to get to that point.

Answer 5

Hmm... I don't see any questions there, only statements. Questions are typically indicated by question marks. Anyways, to answer your "details" portion, I'm atheist. However I have no problem with Christians in general and believe that any lifestyle based on faith will be challenged. By not exploring your relationship with your deity, how do you expect that relationship to grow?

Answer 6

They arent questions, they are statements. How can one respond to a statement?

There is no doubting any of it. Some of the statements are true. Some are false. What is to doubt?

faltering faith is natural, thats why we need to overcome the natural man.

No, because like I already said. Not all of it is true.

Answer 7

I usually handle such pap with sarcasm through a big smile, (please read these responses in order):

1) If God created everything, then being Gay is Divine Inspiration (someone call John Waters).

2) I hate to break it to you, but Santa Claus isn't real, either.

3) How nice for you that you'll get everlasting life, but I'm a Nihilist, I hate existence, and now, I wish it would have ended yesterday.

4) I'm so glad you'll be in heaven, because the rest of us would like to be as far away from you as we possibly can.

5 & 6) You? A sinner? I can't believe that, but just in case, I'll gladly apply to Satan to be your task master.

7) Well aren't you adorable, you can kneel down and receive my sacrement, anytime! (I say this line to door knocking annoyances, it sends them running for cover).

Answer 8

You would need the entire Bible to answer all these questions. Why not pick it up and read it sometimes? the worst that could happen is that you might just get saved into eternal life. Not such a shabby deal for a sinner, eh?

Answer 9

Doctrine doctrine doctrine
Hate it. Have started taking notes in church to shut these people up who think they and I are simple.

Answer 10

I have no problem with any of those statements.
