I was just talking with Jar in chat and we were discussing how i could tell Gods influence from any other....
I told him that I would have to think about it.
​
It then occurred to me that many Christians are afraid to question their faith and belief because it :
  • Exposes the human doubts and insecurities that most fundamentalists stuff rather than address.
  • We fear that we are blaspheming the Holy Spirit by questioning what we believe.
  • We are afraid to say that we don't know God as well as we thought.
    ​
    Topic Question: Discuss why Christians or anyone else should or should not doubt, and whether it is ever appropriate to take a stand rather than remaining ever questioning and uncommitted.
    Faith/Belief Please.
