(May 2, 2025 at 12:12 am)John 6IX Breezy Wrote: I don't see doubt as something punishable in Scripture. Certain contexts probably give it different meanings, sometimes good sometimes bad. But doubt is a normal part of human existence. What you do with doubt, and your motives for it, are more significant.

Hebrews 11:6: And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.

[bolding added -- Thump]

And remember John 3:16. The contrapositive to it is that whosoever does not have faith in Jesus as the "Son of God" shall not have everlasting life. It is implicit in the verse.

Do you think doubt and faith are compatible?
