Am I still a Christian if sometimes I wonder if God really exists?

Question

Sometimes I think, maybe there is no God. Am I still a Christian? Is it OK for me to take communion if I am having doubts?

Answer 1

You are still considered a christian and you can take communion only if you:

1. know that these doubts are from satan.
2. do your best to overcome them by praying and going to confession.

if you keep fighting these doubts, God will give you strong faith.

Answer 2

I would say so. Faithfulness to God is more complicated than we often acknowledge. We often have the notions that professing Christians have no more doubts, no more struggles, and no more pain. We trick ourselves into believing that for every struggle there is an easy answer.

Honest doubt goes hand in hand with growing in faith. When we doubt, we seek, and Jesus promises that where we seek we will find. And what we find on the other side of doubt is a deeper relationship and a deeper belief in God.

Answer 3

Everyone has their doubts. I have my doubts on Buddhism all the time but that's just part of life. Very few can sit there and say there is a God 100% of their day.

I sometimes have my doubts on the middle path but that's simply normal

Answer 4

If you are on the road to somewhere, the signs are not always clear(doubts). So sometimes you find yourself down a side road. By perservence you get back to the main road and eventually get to where you want to go.

Because its clear to you where you want to go, the fact that you are stuck for a time down a side road has no real imprtance; its just a little frutration in your journey. You have not fallen by the wayside and all is therefore permitted!

Answer 5

When we accept Jesus as our Lord and saviour, we also become a high-priority target of the devil and his attempts to sway us in our decisions.

Don't forget, even Thomas doubted; even Peter denied Jesus three times; even king David fornicated, and even had a man killed so he could be with the man's wife, Bathsheeba.

So, live for God, but when you stumble, know that God's grace forgives you. Know that, when the devil tries to make you feel like your mistakes are too huge, and you are not worthy of God's forgiveness, you can just talk back to the devil, and maybe tell him that his mistake was even bigger than yours!

Take ownership of the free gift of salvation, which you have inherited through your faith in Jesus for who He claimed to be.

God bless you!

Answer 6

easily, if somebody desires to worship Mary, it fairly is thoroughly their business enterprise and none of mine. Christians have confidence that Jesus is God's promised Messiah. there are various previous testomony passages that advise the promised Messiah won't in simple terms be a messenger, yet would be God himself. hence, we Christians have confidence that Jesus is God.

Answer 7

I think you should talk to God about this. And remember this Faith comes by Hearing and Hearing by the Word of God. I would recommend reading the Psalms like one per day and then praying about this "Lord I help my unbelief" comes to mind, King David Prayed it and he made it through such difficult times.

Answer 8

I think we all experience battles with our faith at one point or another, especially during times when we can not understand circumstances we are undergoing in our lives. It is in these times that he is quietly working within sometimes drawing us to look for the answers that will solidify who he is to us. Often we come out of the battle with more surety than when we went in.
Be blessed.
