Doubt

Back to Warfare, main page…

Ok, consider that Doubt is a part of warfare. Psychological warfare, if you can be made to Doubt your faith. Does asking the hard questions cause doubt? Are we in danger when asking the hard questions? Is this really a substitute for our lack of relationship with God?

God does not give us Doubt. Warfare is when He speaks to us, and we doubt that it is really from Him.

Is it another form of doubt in researching the tough Biblical questions, and to want to serve Jesus/God but it is eating away at your hope and peace. No? Then why am I feeling this way?

So, I will write in the first person. A certain contact has been writing a lot of questions that put doubt on everything I believe.

I have chosen to remain as a Christian and I say, “Well, those are good questions, and I will stay in Christianity and make it better. I don’t want any other faith system. I want Christ.”

So, the questions come and erode upon me, which is the point of the one sharing, so that I will see the conundrum. The constant shoer of doubt has affected me.

I have concluded some things that are definitive. If we perceive God to be a murderer, a jerk, then He is still God. That is our problem. This concept alone, has me thinking that all the questions and doubt are a tool of the enemy/Satan.

The Bible warns us to not seek the hard questions. Maybe this is why, because it eats away at you and detracts from what is actually important.

even our point of contact on many of these questions says that our pastor was right to not let me facilitate a discussion group on hard questions. Focus on the gospel.

See When God Doesn’t Make Sense – Fallen Eruption (bigfooteruption.com) to see how much we should not get distracted by the fringe questions.

Our contact says that all Christian books seem to be conjecture. Maybe an “A” for trying. Even a church a pastor will provide the Bible verses and says, “Read along, don’t take my word for it.” In the same way, a Christian book can be conjecture because it is up to you to fact check it against the Bible.

We all know that God did not reveal everything to us, just like He did not tell Adam and Eve everything. Why should we get to know more than Adam and Eve?

So let’s get back to the question of Doubt.

After all these questions that weigh us down about the Bible and God:

Do I still believe God loves me? Yes.

Do I believe He has a plan? Yes.

Do I believe that if I seek a relationship with him, that He will respond? Yes.

And is it ok that I feel this way, while still being able to let others ask these questions? While I spend the rest of my life researching the questions as I hopefully grow myself?

Then why is this the subject matter on this page about Doubt? Then what is this I am feeling? Attack? Oppression? Sadness for this that can’t get past the questions?

Am I opening a gateway to evil? A portal to evil? Am, I unlocking an unholy formula?

We have told our contact, that we will seek out a relationship to get closer to God and His Holy Spirit as part of our efforts to get closer to the answers, even though we know some answers are forbidden until heaven. What if nurturing that relationship with God? In the end, why doesn’t that make more sense?

We have been told that the world will say that we are fools? Thus, prophecy fulfilled?

But is this doubt? What is doubt, really?
