Doubt


Kindred,

Do you ever have doubts of the existence of the Lord?

If God exists, then why do so many bad things happen?

If God is all powerful, then why does God not stop tragedies?

Is Jesus Christ the Son of God, especially since Christ only ever referred to himself as the Son of man?

It is OK to have these doubts.  

It is healthy to question.
 
You should never be so insecure in your faith that you fear these questions.
 
To say that you believe blindly is not enough, because it becomes a parroting, an exercise and argument of the mind in theological theory, and not an application of true faith where you truly believe in your heart.
 
You will never grow in faith or have true faith if you do not question, learn and answer. 

  Spirituality requires purity of heart.   Impurities block your spirit from connecting to the holy, to love and peace, to positive emotions...
