Is this a test in my Faith????
its soooo NOT good that im asking this question but id like to know if you ever feel this way.

Answer 1

I believe that you should trust your heart, and believe in whatever you want to, and understand that if someone feels the need to change your beliefs, as long as you're not hurting anyone, then the problem is theirs, not yours. No one can tell you what to believe. No one has proof one way or another if a god exists, and it should be considered a personal choice, and a human right to believe whatever you wish. All the problems stem from the desire to convince and convert others. People need to concentrate on themselves. They need to wait until they themselves are perfect before trying so hard to 'enlighten' and 'save' everyone else. Especially when it comes to stuff that we're all just guessing about.

Answer 2

Well, you could always look at it like this ... which I've heard from the pulpit a few times ... "if I live my life believing in God, then die and there is no God, I've lived a good life and lost nothing; however, my friend, if you live your life insisting there is no God, then die and stand before that God, you will likely lose everything." It's a version of Pascal's wager, and that way of thinking is not without it's problems, but it might be helpful for you to think of in those moments when you are dealing with these thoughts.

Meaning, I believe. More than this, I would say, I know. But what if we were living in another reality, and I'm wrong -- what do I lose? Nothing. I'm totally fine. Life is good. I'm quite content.

Oh, and btw, it's OK to ask those questions, to wonder and even speak aloud or directly to God those questions, or even to doubt now and then to some extent. God really doesn't mind. He's big enough to handle it, and strong/merciful enough to help you answer the questions and overcome the doubt.

Answer 3

Ask Those who say there is no God. Who controls the Sun that rises from east?, Who have created the oceans and the seas?. Who have made the sky and the earth?. Who controls the death and the life?

Who brings rain when the land gets dry and people feel hunger and help less?. Who created the poor human from their Mother and father. and first time from clay?

Answer 4

1 Corinthians 2:14
But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

Just remember that verse. And the next one which defines faith:

Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

As far as being scared, why would you be scared when people lie to you? As far as you know, God exists and you are going to heaven, right? If you were making a journey to Paris and someone said "you know it's all made up like Atlantis right?" you would say they know nothing and continue on their way.

A couple more to help you on your way:

2 Timothy 1:7
For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

Hebrews 13:6
So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.

Answer 5

I have been a Christain for over 37 yrs. it does not scare me when people tries to say there is no God, & if they say if I don't follow them, that I am lost, I know where I stand with God after 37 yrs.

Answer 6

Looking for a sweet, soothing tale to waft you toward dreamland? Look somewhere else. The stories collected by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm in the early 1800s serve up life as generations of central Europeans knew it—capricious and often cruel. The two brothers, patriots determined to preserve Germanic folktales, were only accidental entertainers.

Once they saw how the tales bewitched young readers, the Grimms, and editors aplenty after them, started "fixing" things. Tales gradually got softer, sweeter, and primly moral. Yet all the polishing never rubbed away the solid heart of the stories, now read and loved in more than 160 languages.

There was once a girl who was idle and would not spin, and
let her mother say what she would, she could not bring her
to it. At last the mother was once so overcome with anger
and impatience, that she beat her, at which the girl began
to weep loudly.

Now at this very moment the queen drove by, and when she heard the weeping she stopped her carriage, went into the house and asked the mother why she was beating her daughter so that the cries could be heard out on the road.

Then the woman was ashamed to reveal the laziness of her daughter and said, I cannot get her to leave off spinning. She insists on spinning for ever and ever, and I am poor, and cannot procure the flax.

Then answered the queen, there is nothing that I like better to hear than spinning, and I am never happier than when the wheels are humming. Let me have your daughter with me in the palace. I have flax enough, and there she shall spin as much as she likes. The mother was heartily satisfied with this, and the queen took the girl with her.

When they had arrived at the palace, she led her up into three rooms which were filled from the bottom to the top with the finest flax. Now spin me this flax, said she, and when you have done it, you shall have my eldest son for a husband, even if you are poor. I care not for that, your untiring industry is dowry enough.

The girl was secretly terrified, for she could not have spun the flax, no, not if she had lived till she was three hundred years old, and had sat at it every day from morning till night. When therefore she was alone, she began to weep, and sat thus for three days without moving a finger.

On the third day came the queen, and when she saw that nothing had yet been spun, she was surprised, but the girl excused herself by saying that she had not been able to begin because of her great distress at leaving her mother's house.

The queen was satisfied with this, but said when she was going away, tomorrow you must begin to work. When the girl was alone again, she did not know what to do, and in her distress went to the window.

Then she saw three women coming towards her, the first of whom had a broad flat foot, the second had such a great underlip that it hung down over her chin, and the third had a broad thumb. They remained standing before the window, looked up, and asked the girl what was amiss with her. She complained of her trouble, and then they offered her their help and said, if you will invite us to the wedding, not be ashamed of us, and will call us your aunts, and likewise will place us at your table, we will spin up the flax for you, and that in a very short time.

With all my heart, she replied, do but come in and begin the work at once. Then she let in the three strange women, and cleared a place in the first room, where they seated themselves and began their spinning. The one drew the thread and trod the wheel, the other wetted the thread, the third twisted it, and struck the table with her finger, and as often as she struck it, a skein of thread fell to the ground that was spun in the finest manner possible.

The girl concealed the three spinners from the queen, and showed her whenever she came the great quantity of spun thread, until the latter could not praise her enough. When the first room was empty she went to the second, and at last to the third, and that too was quickly cleared.

Then the three women took leave and said to the girl, do not forget what you have promised us - it will make your fortune. When the maiden showed the queen the empty rooms, and the great heap of yarn, she gave orders for the wedding, and the bridegroom rejoiced that he was to have such a clever and industrious wife, and praised her mightily.

I have three aunts, said the girl, and as they have been very kind to me, I should not like to forget them in my good fortune, allow me to invite them to the wedding, and let them sit with us at table. The queen and the bridegroom said, why should we not allow that. Therefore when the feast began, the three women entered in strange apparel, and the bride said, welcome, dear aunts.

Ah, said the bridegroom, how do you come by these odious friends. Thereupon he went to the one with the broad flat foot, and said, how do you come by such a broad foot. By treading, she answered, by treading.

Then the bridegroom went to the second, and said, how do you come by your falling lip. By licking, she answered, by licking. Then he asked the third, how do you come by your broad thumb. By twisting the thread, she answered, by twisting the thread. On this the king's son was alarmed and said, neither now nor ever shall my beautiful bride touch a spinning-wheel. And thus she got rid of the hateful flax-spinning.

Answer 7

Scared no,sad yes that so many can miss the gift we have been given and mock him with not even looking at what they are mocking, kind of like Jesus on the cross isnt it and he spoke of it, and it will come his coming back we have nothing to fear!

Answer 8

You really should do a little effort in understanding that not everyone thinks the same as you do, and if you are so convinced in your own faith, then it should not affect you that others have different views. I know for sure that your views (wich are different than mine) do not affect me at all

Answer 9

..... OH..... NO.....!

.... My Pentium....TWO.... Just.... Evolved.... INTO..... A... PENTIUM... FIVE!

Evolution is FALSE!

Simply put..... Everyone... makes Excuses...... for their SIN..... when they could .... Simply TAKE ..... Christ JESUS.... The Savior.... and Be Free from..... SIN... and the Kingdom of Darkness.....!

(John 3:19-20-21) And this is the condemnation, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than the Light, because their deeds were evil.

(Joh 3:20) For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light, lest his deeds should be exposed.

(Joh 3:21) But he who practices truth comes to the Light so that his works may be revealed, that they exist, having been worked in God.

Thanks, RR
