Honest doubts are not a sin. Thomas doubted and Jesus gave him proof of His resurrection. Doubt from a sinful, hard, mocking heart and defiant unbelief are sins. Christianity has evidence, as does the existence of God. There are answers for your questions. Many skeptics have become theists/Christians. Some Christians have gone the other way. There is a difference between believing in God (theist) and becoming a child of God through the person and work of Christ. Perhaps you have not come to Jesus Christ as Lord God and Savior, so you do not have assurance from the Spirit that you are a child of God. Do you attend a church? Did you grow in your faith. Have you surrendered your life to Jesus Christ, the God-Man? Struggles are common in the Christian walk. The biggest sin would be to renounce Christ and return to a godless life.

I think all christians go through phases of some doubt, whether it be does God care, is He there, why is this happening to me?? I would just recommend getting back in scripture, there isn't a human that has more knowledge than the Word of God. Take care A brother in Christ Aaron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A crisis of belief is a normal experience of all of us. Look what John the Boptist said after dedicating his entire life to preaching the arrival of Jesus. He identified Jesus as the Messiah, witnessed the miraculous baptism, preached himself to verge of martyrdom and he said this... and said to Him, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
