Well, yeah. That is what it means to be human, to experience fear, doubt, pain, hunger, and so forth. The example is less about whether such feelings are welcomed and more about how to respond in the face of them.
Odd that a perfectly empathetic god might disparage doubt and urge faith, in that case. Or use fear of Hell to have to convince folks to believe, for that matter. Or use the promise of everlasting life, beyond that.
There's some steam leaking through the seams of this ship, at any rate. Get some DC crews working.
