Though I became a Christian only at 37, my upbringing in the Christian household and my early days of conditioning due to the afore said circumstances did not let me think along those lines. I could never subscribe to the view that all the wonders of nature like the vastness of the expanse of the skies and the seas or even the beautiful blossoming of a small flower could come on its own(mindless wonder is a contradiction in terms).Wonders abound in everyday life point to the awesomeness of the Creator.
Yes I do. The reason being when I think about a God who is beyond the binds of time & space, it makes me wonder how did that God come into existence at the first place?
For a brief time when I was younger and watched the news when the wars were happening I did really question things as I at that point didnt understand how all of the ugliness vould happen to people if there was really a God
Yes and no. I don’t think I ever doubted the existence of God, but I doubted the nature of God. When I was younger, I imagined God in a particular way, but when God didn’t meet those expectations, I began to doubt His abilities and overall love. In time, I gained more knowledge on God and I stopped doubting. I learned that I didn’t really know who God was and it was my fault for not taking the time to learn.
I have never doubted Gods existence. But never knew about a
“Personal Relationalship” with Jesus Christ until I was almost 40.
I have never doubted the existence of God. I have often wondered where He was at certain times in my life though.
I have never doubted the existence of God. However, it took most of my life before I wanted a true relationship with Him as I was too busy living my life the way I wanted. It took losing my husband and then contemplating a year later “is this all there is to life?”. That’s the day I picked up the Bible and started reading it to learn more about Him and have never stopped. The day I started reading the Bible a sense of peace came over me that I know was from the Holy Spirit.
Even though I believed in God, I now realize I was never really saved until I pursued a true relationship with Him and His Son, Jesus.
Yes, when I see bad thing happened to good people
When I was in college there was a time I questioned God’s existence mostly because I felt so far from him and he became very small in my mind and heart. After that there were be an occasional thought, what if we’re wrong! Almost immediately I could reaffirm my faith and confidence because our very existence proves there is God.
No I never doubted that God is real but when I was just a child God delivered me from being molested, I gave my life to Him an sometime later He let me hear a news story an it was about a man who had been arrested for molesting his child the word stuck in my head an I looked it up an realized that was happening to me. I told the person that it was wrong an it stopped. I’d never heard of such a thing but He let that word stick in my mind an gave me courage to make it stop.
I have been a Christian now for a long time and I do not think that I have ever doubted. Over the years I have realised through sermons, studying and lots of reading and seeing how the world is , how can I ever doubt that there is a God.
I have never personally doubted God’s existence. I have questioned other things about God, and I cannot explain everything about him, but I have always belied that he exists.
I have always considered some key questions per the existence of God and they are as follows. Who, what, when, where, why, and how? These are questions that can be found in Christian, and science articles. When challenged by the church of scientology they asked how do you handle stress? I handle stress by going in a room alone, while fasting and getting on my knees to pray to the heavenly father of the existent problem. While this had sparked my interest upon further investigation it wasn’t the test, or the question but the challenge as to whether God had existed. In my heart and throughout my life I have answered who created the elements, historical facts, poetical form in arts but who fed these elements? The form of existent higher power has always presented itself for many years it’s just humanity and science that keeps proven his existence.
I have never doubted the existence of God. I don’t know why…I just always believed in Him…I did, however doubt Jesus at one low point in my life. I have repented of that doubt & have come to believe beyond a shadow of a doubt that Jesus is, in fact, God.
I have not because I cannot fathom how this world could have just accidentally come into existence. This place is just too well organized to have been a coincident.
No. From the time I was 17, I have experienced God working in my life. He prepared me for my grandmother’s death when I was 17 in an unusual way. When I was in debt and could not afford my house note, He worked it out so my note was reduced by 300$. I cried out to Him and within a week I got a letter from my mortgage company telling me my new payment would be 700$ a month instead of 1050.00. This was the exact amount I told God I could handle. Also, I had a medical director try to get me fired. I ask that somehow someone should offer him a job so good he couldn’t refuse. 3 months later, I walked into work and was told he was resigning- he had gotten a better job in another state. How great is our God!!!
I do not believe that I have ever doubted the existence of God, but I have doubted how involved He is relationally with me.
So why have I never doubted the existence of God? Because I am a historian and from my perspective, history affirms my belief in God, particularly the history of the Jew.
I am not sure I can say I ever doubted God existed but more along the lines of HOW do I know God exists. My doubts in that actually led me into a deeper relationship with understanding who the Lord is and how I can know He is there.
I have never doubted that God is real. He is who He says that He is and He will do what He says He will do.
There have been times in my life when circumstances don’t portray any evidence of a god who is in charge of any thing. Alot of the time its because I have no answers to these difficult discussions. There are other times when I look at my life and my behavior and see no reflection of the principles seen in scripture. To be obedient to all the expectations in the bible seems impossible.
I don’t know that I really ever questioned the existence of God, but I have found myself questioning the love He has for me, and His closeness. In my trial times, I felt alone and afraid.
Being baptized when I was a baby, grown up in the church and have been a devout Jesus Lover all of my life, I can say that 100% of my life I have never doubted God’s true existence in the world. I have questioned God many times yes. Which is completely natural. Luckily, I have never doubted his presence in my life. Though sometimes he can feel very far away. It is all about keeping the faith, growing and nurturing your daily relationship with him. Once you declare that your life is HIS, his presence Will be shown and your life WILL CHANGE dramatically quick.
I can honestly say I have never doubted God’s existence. How ever I did not know Jesus, who he is or the his significances.
I have never doubted there is a God. I have always believed in God, but sometimes questioned His timing of things. I and my family have been through many tragedies in our life, but in that I can still see the blessings and that He is at work in us.
No. I always to, my knowledge, believed in God. Sad to say I walked away from God when I joined the U.S. Navy and coming back to Him when I was on Midway Island. Good to say God took me back and forgave me of all my sins.
I have doubted God’s existence when I had my middle son. He had to go through so much after he was born that it was hard for me for the first week to see how there could be good in the situation. My husband prayed nonstop which helped me see very quickly that I should be turning to God and seeking his guidance where I hurt and have questions. I should be giving it to God and not trying to control the situation. My middle son is such a strong survivor and is an amazing kiddo.
I have doubted and questioned. I have a very questioning mind. I have returned to the faith of my youth and now want to pass that on, I need words to express what I know and to help spread the truth to others. That is the reason I am taking this course to be better prepared to convince other of this fact.
No l have never doubted God’s existence. Because the world tries to push the Big Bang theory and Darwin’s Evolution theory on us. The school’s teach it, scientists work to prove it. But all we have to do is look at all the beautiful things that are in Creation to know that there is a higher being (God).
The schools try to teach theories such as Big Bang and Evolution which can be confusing for a child growing up in a non-religious family. It is through seeking and the seemingly random acts in my life that convinced me in my head and my heart.
I have in the past, college years and to mid adulthood, after being raised Christian. I never thought there for sure wasn’t a God, but wasn’t sure there was. I now again believe in God and the the trinity, and that Jesus is our saviour.
Yes, especially in hard and troubled times. Sometimes it’s really difficult to ‘see’ God in bad things.
Yes , because I thought my life was for me to be in charge of and I was suppose to do with it as I pleased. Then after messing it up I cried out to God and He saved me.
No. because from my childhood, my parents taught me the existence of God and my faith in God grew when started meditating on the word of God and experience the creation of God in my daily life.
I wonder why people don’t believe in God may be due to their encounters in the life that moved them away from God.
네, 있었습니다. 내가 그리스도인이 되기 전에는 로마의 신화 또는 전설 그리고 진화론을 통해, 실제가 아닌 가상의 신들이 있을 것이라는 생각을 했습니다. 그리스도인이 된 후에는 성경을 통해서 하나님의 존재를 알게 되었고, 실제 살아 계심을 믿었습니다.
Yes I have. I used to be a Buddhist. When I was living in the care of my grand parents, when very young, I came to believe in God because they were a Christian family. After I moved back to my with parents I was brought up Buddhist and stopped believing in God for they taught about reincarnation and that there is no God. In fact, I became an advide believer in evolution because it matched with what Buddhism taught. But God had a plan for my life, there was always a place in my heart that still believed in God. And because of His grace and loving kindness, he brought me to a place in my life where I responded to His calling. He saved my soul from hell and gave me new life and I am so grateful!!
I have never doubted God’s existence. There have been times in there past when I was angry and did not love God, but I always believed in some God.
When my middle child was born he had multiple health issues and we almost lost him. I questioned whether God was there and whether he was listening to my prayers. Why would he do this to a little one? What did I do to have to watch my child be in pain and suffer. Is he even there? In the same instance though my son was strong and resilient. He fought through everything with God’s help and was able to come home right before Christmas. God worked a MIRACLE when it comes to my baby. I saw the amazing work he does and it helped my see I need to stay strong in my faith and let nothing falter my faith.
I have doubted God’s existence and it was when I lost the person closest to me. I remember shortly after they passed, I repeated over and over again that it was not fair and why? Why her? Why now? God knew how much I needed her and how much she meant to me. It was then that I turned my back on God and denounced my Christian faith. Fast forward to three years later when I experienced a divine intervention and had someone placed in my life that brought God back into my life and subsequently have been baptized.
I have when going through my walk, and truthfully when hard times hit I wonder if He was listening. Now that my relationship has grown with God, even in the hard times I know He is with me.
I have never doubted God’s existence. I’ve always felt something within my heart and mind that there was a higher power. As a child, I wasn’t able to articulate my thoughts about the living God but as I grew older I began to understand more because I began reading the bible. The best way for me to explain why I never doubted God’s existence is how I feel when I read the Holy Scriptures. It rings true to me and makes complete sense to me. I know that I can’t come by this feeling or truth and understanding on my own but that it takes even God’s power (Holy Spirit) to affirm and confirm the truth in me.
I have doubted, I think that is a very natural thing to do with the sin nature we have. Just like paul said we are spiritually blind. The ultimate question is just like Thomas and others in the Bible, what do we do with the doubt. Do we push through or give up.
I have truthfully never doubted God’s existence. The faith of my father and mother was such that God and His word was so ingrained in my heart that I just have never wavered. That’s not to say I have never questioned His plan for me and when my husband went to be with him I was perplexed but never angry. The existence of God makes more sense to me than anything else in my entire life..
I have doubted in many different ways, but God’s Word and his mercy always prevail. I have found many evidences in the physical world, just as Paul predicted.
Sure, At times I think we all experienced that feeling. Even for the most mature Christian, there can be moments of doubt. That is part of our human experience. But that moment about is quickly replaced by the confidence that I have that God does exist and is present in my life
There wasn’t a time I doubted God’s existance, but there were times when I forgot about His existance due to hardship in my life. I would fall but get back on track with truth. He is always there for me and always will be.
Yes Ive doubted Gods existence as before conversion it just seemed like foolishness to believe in God – although when you look around and see Gods creation and nature you see how wonderfully its made.
A study tracked about 1,000 people in the US with age ranges from 34 – 93. The study asked the respondents how much stress they had experienced the last year and how much time they had spent helping out friends, neighbors, people in their community, etc. The researchers then used public records for the next five years to determine which respondents had died.
Study shows that every significant stressful experience, e.g., financial difficulties or family crises, increased the risk of dying by 30%. However, the study results showed absolutely no stress-related rate increases in dying for the people who spent time caring for others. Caring creates resilience.
God tells us to love one another as we love ourselves and care for each other. Herein lies the reason God wants us to love and care for each other. Doing this reduces stress and makes us live longer. This study is more proof that God is real.
I have never doubted God’s existence because I have believed in the Father, God, His Son Jesus, and the Holy Spirit since I was a young boy. I believe that God sent His only Son, Jesus, to die for our sins.
I had developed this habit of documenting my experiences with praying and asking for God’s help and the responses to my prayers. They could not have been coincidences as they were too many occasions when it was blatantly clear that God was at work in answering my prayers.
Additionally, I am always in awe whenever I visit a medical doctor’s office and see images of the human body. The complexity of our bodies is clear proof that a supreme designer created us: God, the intelligent designer, created us. Random circumstances are not responsible for our creation.
The complexity of the human body and God’s love in answering my prayers prove that He exists and answers our prayers when we believe and pray in faith.
I never doubted God’s existence, however, once upon a time, I used to ask myself: am I living the right thing? Is this God the real God? Then, when I remember all the wonderful things that God had already done in my life, I feel better and ready for the next challenge.
No, although I may have fallen away at times, I always had Faith, and I knew it was God that was protecting me and bringing me back to Him.
No, as I know the Lord has always been there. It’s my own stubbornness that kept me from being more for the Lord!
I have doubted God’s existence at times in my life when I was younger
I have never doubted the existence of God . However i did question God a lot. There was a lot of things I was dealing with and a lot of things that I didnt know why it was happening to me if there was such a great God. I feel like a lot of people feel this way today. I always knew he existed just didnt feel like he was by my side always.
I have definitely questioned the Existence of god. With all the hate in the world how could someone not question. Although I know god is real Because the evidence is all around us everywhere we look We see that there had to be a creator.
Yes. There have been times when I saw so much suffering that I wondered if God really existed and why He would let people suffer.
Never doubted it. I believed in God as a child and have wanted to know more about Him all my life. I am now in my 70’s and I continue to desire more knowledge about our God.
I’ve always known or felt that something was in the presence even growing up when i got older is when i learned about God and how he created the earth and now have a better understanding to me it makes sense that there is a God who loves and cares sometimes when i went through troubles there’s has been moments of doubt of if he really knows me but there’s also times where it undoubtly true I know he is with me
I never doubted the existence of God but my relationship with Him was fragile at best until I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior. Even then I lived a life of just survival. It was only when I realized that there was no life in surviving but in Jesus.
From my parents, primarily from my mother, taking me to church, I learned a little about God in a Sunday school. However, it was not until later in life that God became real to me. I started in the Book of Genesis and came to the verse about God making man in His image where it stated let us make man in our image. I wondered who “us” were. I had heard of God but thought of God as singular.
I have bever doubted his existence, but there were times that I felt betrayed or let down by God.
It was misplaced anger, and the situation was my own fault.
I am taking this course to deepen my knowledge about the Bible and God.
I have doubted God’s existence at times in my life , when I have read or heard something by scientists declaring that there is no God and I think they are more intelligent than me, but I always come back to my own personal experience of God and his love.
I have never doubted God’s existence because every since I was a child I had always been curious about him and always wanted to be in church.
I have always believed in God’s existence, being taught about God from childhood and living for Him as an adult now.
I have never doubted God’s existence. I may not have always acknowledged him, but I believed he is real. Apart from that, I see him in nature. No one can convince me that the animals, trees and mountains just came into being just like that. They had to be created by an intelligent being.
I have never doubted God’s existence. I accepted Jesus as my personal Savior at an early age and felt His presence. Yes, at times I drew away from God and felt alone. But, I knew it was because I was not drawing near to Him (James 4:8). Also, when just looking at creation and seeing all the beauty — it declares His glory.
I never doubted the existence of God. Growing up in a Christian home we were always taught about God. But I also thought of The Big Bang Theory and evolution has some crazy creation thing because we’re not involved in the anymore. I would not think that we just always existed. Then you look at nature and you think how in the world could this be without someone creating them.
No, I always knew that God existed. My issue was thinking that He wasn’t that interested in me. When a Religion teacher got us to buy bibles and I started reading it I felt God’s peace and therefore thought that the answers to life’s questions lay in the Bible. I looked for a bible study when I went to College. In my first week there is met Missionaries who worked for Campus Crusade for Christ who invited me to their bible studies. When I met the Christians I knew they had something that I didn’t have. They knew God, and they had a lovely for each other that I hadn’t seen before. As I studied the Bible with them I came to understand for the first time that Jesus loved me and that He had paid for my sins on the cross. It was a shock for me when I realised that I wasn’t a Christian. I thought I was one as I went to Church. One evening I decided to ask Jesus to come into my life and be on charge. Then I could say that I really knew that God was real.
I have never doubted God’s existence.
When I look at everything around me. When I look at myself. Nothing but a higher power could have done this!
When I look at nature, only God could have created trees and grass and seasons.
When I look at myself. There’s nobody else that looks exactly like me.
But God!
I didn’t think that God would allow bad things to happen if he really existed. I know He exists because His Holy Spirit in habits me.
Yes I have doubted God’s existence at a point in my life when I was young and really hadn’t been through anything, or had my personal experiences that showed me exactly who “God” is to ME!!! As I got older was only when I started to see why my mom praised God in church just fir keeping her mind through the week. I understood why I must “Bless the Lord at all times”, because things could always be worse. I understood how to find comfort in God and not man, because his word said” he would never leave me nor forsake me.” So it’s a personal journey.
Yres i have, when i was going through a hard time in my life, i asked myself over and over if there is a God wh am i going through this
No, I have never doubted God’s existence. I have always known there was a God. But did not really know Him as I do now. And hope to continue to get to know more about Him through Jesus Christ as I continue to study His word.
Never
Never, I have always felt Him in my life.
Yes. There have been times when I have really wanted to see the face of Jesus or years of crying out in prayer and feeling like prayers have not been answered. The longer I wait for things the more I have been able to grow in my faith and trust God is there, He loves me and wants what is best for me.
no I have never douted Gods existence,
Honestly, I don’t recall doubting God’s existence. My mom attended church faithfully and took me with her since birth. However, I did not develop a personal relationship with Jesus until my mid twenties and prior to this I didn’t think about God much. I went about living life without including God in it. I made my own decisions without seeking God and thought I was okay because I wasn’t committing any crimes or hurting others intentionally. I thought God was in heaven sitting on His throne doing his thing with the angels. He wasn’t concerned with what was happening on earth. Soon after my thirteeneth birthday I began to feel a void in my life and began to try to fill the void with the pleasures of the world. For example, at one time I thought I needed a new car. I juggled finances to get a new car and three months later the void was back. Next, I thought I needed a new job and later realized that wasn’t what I needed. I continued attempting to fill the void until my mid twenties when God began to draw me to Him as the result of many prayers for my salvation from saved family members and a saved friend. After surrendering to Christ the void was filled and I said to myself Jesus is what I needed.
Yes. When I was in high school I asked myself that question. Deep down, I knew that He did exist, but I found myself questioning how could something exist and always be.
I can safely say that I’ve never doubted God’s existence. No one has ever proven to me that God did not or does not exist and that the Bible has proven some incredible events that could only be from God.No man could create the heavens and earth. Only God could do that.
No, I have never doubted the existence of God because I was raised in a Christian home. I accepted Christ as my Savior when I was five, and while there have been times when I didn’t think He heard me, I have always known He was there. Just look at the heavens at night! The beauty and majesty of the stars didn’t happen randomly. If it had, sailors wouldn’t be able to navigate by them and we wouldn’t be able to track constellations.
I don’t think I have ever doubted God existence, for the very fact that there can be no other explanation for complex and intricate workings of the human body. It is far too complicated to have just evolved and stopped at this very point of development on its own. If it did evolve why doesn’t it just keep evolving and evolving and evolving. Because “Man”and “Woman” was created by an intelligence far beyond human capability. That intelligence or intelligent designer is none other than God the Father.
Yes. As a young man, I suffered.
I didn’t believe that a real true God would not allow me to suffer. As a middle-aged man, God allowed those things to happen so that I may help the young men that are going through similar situations. I thank God for redeeming and restoring me from the previous creation that I was.
As my trade is Automotive Technician (mechanic) a have a very analytical mind and wonder how and why, this I have never doubted the existence of God. Design commands a Designer. When I look at the world and everything in it, it’s designed as matter (seen or unseen) in time and space where timing is everything. You need to be outside of time and space in order to design it and bring it to order. God is the only reasonable and logical explanation for the Universe as a Whole. He is both in and outside of it, certainly not limited in any way.
The notion has crossed my mind but I look at the universe and nature around me, and my existence and I come to a quick reality that God does exist.
I have. At one point of my life I felt like I had alot of questions that went unanswered. Like if women came from man why aren’t men able to give birth or if God does exist why does he not show himself now or why would a God who loves his children ( his creation) allow so much pain?
I read so many of these posts about why does God allow so much strife in this world? Why does it continue on and on? I have been hurt for so many years and a time came when I had to resolve the issues I was facing and just said, God, I know you are here. I know that you have given every man, woman, and child to believe that we are looked after but still capable of making our own decisions. I know God watches over me and there will be a time that I will say, I need Jesus Christ now to help me pave the road to meet God for everlasting peace.
It would be very hard to believe that God didn’t exist. It is hard to fathom everything in nature that could not exist, without God. Just look at how intricate everything is? How would you explain the existence of Mathematics and how it plays in our role of technology? Look at all the creatures on this Earth, plants, animals, humans, and just about everything that is here. I never doubted God in control but before I really thought about Christianity and now am becoming a true believer, and I am still learning, I just now started looking at God and Jesus Christ to help me in my life of helping me understand more about who I am.
Yes, before I came to know God, there was certain situations in life that I faced, where I would question if God was real and if he was real, why would he allow these certain things to happen.
I never doubted God’s existence. Because I believe that God is the creator of everything. He created heaven and earth.
I have doubted God’s existence, I believe that it is a natural thought when fist learn to accept God as your savior
Of course I was doubted God’s existence when I was young before believing Jesus christ, but when I received him as my savior and Lord of my life according to the scripture says in Roman chapter 10:9-10,my minds changed towards the God’s existence and believed him through his presence in all entire of my life.
I’ve never doubted God’s existence; however, I often question His way of salvation which, I suppose, is a kind of doubt. For example, when I look at the course of human history, the picture is one that is, as Tennyson famously said, “red in tooth and claw.” In other words, civilization is marked largely by empires built by slave labor, violence, inequality, and other forms of inhumane treatment. In this environment, the Bible describes life as being little more than a vapour (James 4:14), all the while urging people to quickly accept and believe the gospel before their vapourous lives go up in smoke (even though Jesus Himself, in Luke 14:28, warned people to count the cost of discipleship) . If these wisps of smoke should die before accepting Christ, they are doomed to eternal hellfire. I guess what I’m saying is that God’s way of salvation, the “narrow gate,” appears to be a torturous path that few are able to find, much less navigate successfully (Matthew 17:14). Does the Bible’s remnant leitmotif aptly describe God’s ultimate purpose: to save only a smidgen of humanity and treat the rest as spiritual collateral damage?
I never doubted the existence of God. Even as a child, being raised by a single mom who claimed to be an atheist. I knew everything around me had to come from somewhere and I believed that to be God who had created all things. The crazy thing is I raised my children in the Church and taught them about God and one of them now claims to be an atheist. I’m believing they will become a believer just like my mom has. To God be all the Glory!
I was raised Southern Baptist and was baptized at a very young age, never doubting or even questioning His existence. That is, until my 30’s. I had been a very young mother so when my children were turning into teenagers, I was just turning 30. I missed out on my ‘”partying” phase so it was my time to have fun. I ignored church and turned my back on God. I never really doubted that He existed, I just didn’t think that He was all I had been taught. I had to find Him on my own. It took over a decade to bring me back but here I am!
I have not doubted God’s existence, but I think it’s in our nature as human beings to question and to reason out what we are being told.
I have read another responses and some were very touching. I have always wondered why God would let my father almost killed me? Why did my wife die because from a believer in God and telling me that there is no God when she just wanted to die, She could have been helped but she refused. She told me that if God was here, he wouldn’t let that happen. Hearing that, was devastating to me. All I could come up with, is that you need faith to exist and without it, you can’t live. I did not know what else I should have said. I know this. She was alone and gave up on God, I took care of her to the end. When my wife decided that she would rather die, then doctors and outside support couldn’t help her. A question that I have is, does God feel the same way and give up on a person, as well?
No, I have not. I can”f give a true perspective of God and how He governs my life. Why does he continue to keep letting me to continue the things that I should change? I-look at this in this manner. I know He gives me free will and the mind to make my own decisions. Even, if it can be harmful to me, still He will let me do it, Maybe,I just don”t have a good understanding of God, I can’t explain it and even if I try, I would be caught up in answers I couldn’t understand. This has nothing in whether I believe or not. I do believe because I look at our complex world and God had to create it. As complex that’ our world is, humans could not do it without God. That is the best answer that I can give.
I have always accepted God’s presence and never doubted He is our creator. I was taught from an early age about God. Thanks to my dear mother
I have had many times wondered why I did not hear from Him or felt I was all alone in my situations. This I now know is part of my faith journey
I don’t think I have ever doubted God’s existence but I have questioned his presence and his sovereignty. Being in a sin filled world it is very easy to question the loving God of the bible but the same bible also shows that this wont be the world we live in always which anchors my hope.
Reanswering the question since it did not show up.
I have believed in the existence of God since I was very young. There are times when that belief is called into question. Reality is though, a look at the issues leaves no alternative other than the exist of God.
Yes before I knew Christ! Because my parent have to work for everything and believers are violent and scary and ask for money and viruses plagued anyone , if there’s a good God he will be able to provide for all things
I have never doubted the existence of God. I have always been a very observant person from when I was a child. I loved looking at nature, people and things around me and there was an unexplainable understanding within me that there is something more that what meets the eye. There is this aura of the presence of God in everything.
I don’t know if I’ve ever truly doubted his existence, but I have doubted what his character is like. Meaning, is he a personal god or just a “wind up the top and let it go where it may” kind of god. Believing in a god probably comes from my string Christian upbringing and also being an engineer, I can’t believe that something so complex as the human body could accidentally be designed. But my doubts stem from the plethora of competing viewpoints of god which are not shared in humility but usually thru anger and demonization of the opposition. And I’m talking about INSIDE the church.
Yes, there have been times. Sometimes the oppositions will give compelling arguments. But, Praise God, He gave us logic and the knowledge of His indwelling within us. If God didn’t exist, we would have no reason to exist or purpose. Because He exists we have “hope” and “truth” of salvation and eternal life with Him.
For me my parents and grandparents brought me and my brother up very early I knowing about Jesus especially my grandmothers they would always bring copies of Bibles, booklets, and tracts when they would come to visit especially ar Christmas get togethers. That would be their gifts to all of their grandchildren. Also I remember when we would stay at one of my grandmother’s house she would always have radio playing thru the night with church sermons or music on. So I am very thankful and grateful to my family to bringing us up learning and growing in Christ si never I have doubted the existence of God.
I have believed in the existence of God since I was very young. There are times when that belief is called into question. Reality is though, a look at the issues leaves no alternative other than the exist of God.
Never! I have believed that there was a God since I can remember. Before 5 years of age.
I don’t believe that I’ve ever doubted the existence of God – although I’ve questioned why He has allowed certain events to occur without intervening. I know that God has His reasons and perhaps someday we will know what they were. In the meantime, I’m just going to trust that God is accomplishing what needs to be accomplished and His Soverign Will has everthing happening just the way it needs to be.
Unlike most of the responses here, you don’t give “the way you were raised” as a reason for never doubting God. I’m of the opinion that the reason so many either leave the Christian faith or live less than Spirit-filled lives is because they have not really proved God’s existence for themselves. Instead, they tend to be like ancient Israel who often waffled between calling God “my God” and “my Father’s God” (Exodus 15:2).
I have not doubted God’s existence in my life because I am brought up to believe that He exists. That He cares for me and my family since birth.
No, I never have since there’s evidence in the world that there is a creator.
Yes. I’d heard the arguments of atheists, and read some books on atheism, and they made sense to me. Especially the existence of horrific evil in the world. Evolution seemed like it could explain why all life is here. But part of me always had some doubt towards atheism, even when I was supporting it. I would feel guilty. And so many nearly impossible things had to have happened, for a competent unguided evolution to bring us to where we are now. Then
I thought there must have been at least a Deist type of God to start the world.
I don’t think I have ever doubted God’s existence but there have been times that I was so wrapped up in myself that I forgot about Him or lived like he didn’t exist.
I can definitely identify with your response. For me, it’s an ongoing battle to remember that indifference to God is just as sinful as outright denial of His existence.
I have, only because I felt like was not being as blessed as others were even people who don’t believe in God. I know its not tho.
Have I ever doubted the Creator’s existence? Yes. Growing up, I could not understand how a loving God could allow my parents to be taken from me at five. Why would God let my mind be flooded with sexually impure thoughts? Why would my Father in Heaven allow me to undergo abuse at such an early age and not provide an escape route? However, I later realized that being Christian does not mean living a life without suffering, and reaching others meant I had first to undergo challenges.
Sorry Andre. I would have struggled to believe in God too. And still struggle with why God permits such suffering to continue especially with young children. However, glad you’re holding onto Jesus now as you continue to wrestle with these questions.
Not sure If i doubted his existence but I definitely have acted like he didn’t exist
Yes. I have doubt the existence of God when I go through had time struggling with un-answered question and witnessing the injustices in life. But after reading the Bible more and understand more of His nature, I doubt no more.
Yes, when prayers go unanswered and when I do not know what is going on
I have never doubted God existence because when I was challenged with evilness, hopelessness, depression and weeks of sleepless nights. I felt as if I was involve in a tug of war, I was being pull sometimes to the left sometimes to the right. After praying, crying out to God, Prayer with family and godly friends I experienced God’s deliverance. I’m always praising him.
I have not had an opportunity to doubt God’s existence, but I am looking forward for a day that God will manifest Himself real and tangible in my life that people around me will see with their own eyes that it is God and believe in their heart that indeed that is a God.
Yes…I have doubted God existence from time to time, it just feels unreal sometimes. When I get back into the Word, pray or watch good sermon my faith is restored.
