3 reasons for Christians to start questionng their faith

[Godscreated]

I'm using these same verses to answer what I did not hide above.
Each of those tell of the person/s living out what they practice, something you did not say about your practice. Even though I said to practice baseball is not the same as playing the game, practicing will make for a better player when he is playing. You ever hear of live what you practice or maybe this one "be doers of the word and not hearers only." Living in a relationship with Christ is what separates Christians from all the rest.

Wow. I gotta tell you, I am extremely disappointed. I was really hoping we might enter into a compelling and challenging debate, but you've got nothing to offer that.

And, just so it's clear that this isn't merely some type of cop out, you don't even seem to have a basic understanding of the word "practice". The very quote you use to suggest that "practice" isn't adequate in fact describes practice over inaction.

"be doers (or practitioners) of the word and not hearers only."

Practitioner means living what you believe, practice as I see many christians doing is ritualistic, going through the motion, not living out a relationship with Christ. Since you apparently did not experience Christ how am I to believe you meant anything other than going through the motions. I've experienced Christ whether you believe it or not, and because I have I can not understand how anyone could reject Him. This is were I'm coming from, experiencing Christ.

Thank you for answering, many want. I would disagree with you on understanding the scriptures. I know there is a certain amount that anyone can understand, and some as yourself will see more, however there is the spiritual that the Holy Spirit reveals to believers that unbelievers do not have revealed to them. Every time I read the scriptures I ask for God's discernment, a deeper understanding of His word.

So, basically what I said: if I don't believe in god, it's just because I don't get him. From an outside perspective, one might argue that the reason you're not an atheist is because you don't get secularism. Neither of these positions say anything about the truth of whether or not a god exists, just that the person employing them believes he's leveled up his understanding, in a way.

For many years I lived in the secular world, and I want say I did not enjoy it, I did. The thing it did not do was bring a peace into my life, it did not answer all the questions about life I needed to know. I'm not saying that I've received all the answers through Christianity, what I do know is I have a peace and many questions answered. By the way I do question God on things in His word, but I do not stop there, I ask for His discernment, sometimes I receive it, sometimes it takes awhile, and on somethings I'm still waiting.
