How often do you doubt what you believe is really true?

Answer 1

First, let me say that if anyone comes on saying that they have never doubted their faith then they would be lying, not only to us but to themselves as well.

Secondly, Yes. I have doubted my faith. When I was a young adult. I had question concerning who God was, Why he did what he did, etc. I could not get a direct answer from any of the religious leaders that I knew.

Third, I found my faith at the end of a pew. God has showed himself in so many ways. I thank him for every minute he gives me. I have been blessed with a wonderful wife, two great kids and an awesome job. Things have never been easy but the times that haven't have always been followed my a period blessings from God.

Lastly, to all who are doubting their faith. Hold on, pray, this period that you are going through is temporary. At the end, you will become stronger than before you went in. God has plans and will use this time to build you up for a future purpose.

God Bless.

Answer 2

All the Time Viviana.
I try to forget about God or whatever to
be able to do some things. Acts
(smoking weed and messing around with girls)
If I watch too much Tv or Science Specials I start
to believe EVERYTHING has an explanation...
Inside this planet.. But In space, how can we explain that?
I mean how can space Lights, energy and random events
create teaspoons of matter that would weight TONS
and just have a steady place in space? Also, I started watching lots of Alien Videos on Youtube (Alien Documentaries) and people's confessions to abductions
I have read books and listened to testimonies that
make Aliens seem like Demons and Evil Creatures.
But How can we explain supernatural events that occur
here on Earth? Exorcisms, Ghosts, Electronic Phenomena,
and stuff like that?

Answer 3

Doubt, Doubt, Doubt away! Question everything. A skeptic mind is a liberated one.

Let's think about this logically. If you never doubt your believes than you are saying you refuse to ever learn anything new that may challenge your preconceived believes. Not doubting is a recipe for ignorance.

Absolute ignorance is bliss. I do not believe you are absolutely ignorant, so your are naturally going to wish to answer what you do not understand. Ignorance breeds racism, intolerance, hatred, anger.

Look in books, conversations, movies, under rocks, wherever to find life's lessons. If you do this, your pursuit for knowledge, albeit frustrating at times, will be a rewarding one you can never complete.

To say to question your beliefs "is a sin", is the most moronic statement I've heard for weeks.

Answer 4

I always doubt what I believe. What I believe is under constant refinement if not outright change. I prefer to always try and believe in truths and as new truths are revealed there are times when ones beliefs must adapt. To not do so traps one. One falls victim to faith and faith is a poor place from which to make decisions.

I do consider myself a spiritual person but to me spirituality is a journey of discovering my true relationship to the universe. No faith required. It is an endless and winding path filled with wonder and delight and truths that make magic seem lame.

I do BELIEVE that I try to understand the truth. I absolutely KNOW that I have only scratched the surface. So much to learn always. So many new truths. So many new and mind blowing things in which to believe.

and then doubt :-)

Answer 5

Well, I'm agnostic so I'm constantly in search for answers. Every time I think I have it figured out I get a new thought in my head or feeling in my heart. It's not that bad experiences make me lose faith or anything like that, I just believe in infinite possibilities, the possibility of god, many gods, no god, and so on....
So I'm constantly doubting things I believe in. The good thing about it though, It helps me to keep an open mind and hear what everyone has to say about what they believe in.

Answer 6

Becoming a Christian changed my life, my heart, my thinking. It is perhaps the only thing I've never doubted. Unfortunately, I've doubted people and occasionally my own mind, but never will I doubt Jesus, His love and kindness have blown me away so far that I will never get back to the place of darkness where He found me.(ps: I doubt politicians and some other folks and unfortunately they will always be with us) :) :(

Answer 7

Doubt is the ENEMY of Faith, test everything and then hold on tot he good, and once tested you will never doubt! You must stay in the word!

Answer 8

At first there is doubt with every thing but once i've gone through that process it is already established I don't have to re analyse it that much.

Answer 9

Sometimes when I feel hopeless in life I falter a bit, but I always know that God is there with me through my life.

Answer 10

Never anymore. I believe Jesus is the truth.
