I think I have lost my faith in God

(1/5) > >>

space.ace.jase:
I don't know what to think anymore, about God, about the bible - about why I am even alive. I feel like the waves of life keep crashing on me and eroding away my beliefs. What if the bible was just written by a bunch of fiction writers and that there is no God. What if all this is wrong, I mean their is no proof of God right? What makes the bible right and other writings (the Quran, etc) wrong. Each person in every religion is SURE that what they believe is the 100% truth and that everyone else is wrong.

I just don't know anymore...

Hi Space,

I've been having some of these thoughts as well earlier in my life, so I can really relate to what you are saying. Well, I sometimes have moments when I have doubts, but this is not so much because of me or my faith in God, but because I see how many hysterical beliefs (and believers) that are out there. It really wears me down, makes me feel lonely, and that's when I sometimes think: Why should what I believe be true? Who am I? I have been wrong before, etc. etc.

I really can't identify myself with most believers, except a few brothers and sisters that I know through this site. I thank God for the love and wisdom that He shows through this forum.

Hang in there, don't look to the world for guidance, you will only find emptiness and difficulties.

God bless you, and touch you with His love and understanding,
Eirik

Rom 1:20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

Study the universe and all of creation and if nothing else you will be a believer.

This is a good response....
The Word of God is alive....
and it's become MORE alive to us since we came to BT.com and began our studies here with Ray.  What a blessing this man has become.  Being raised in the church (my daddy a minister)... I truly couldn't piece things together, and it caused me to doubt the validity of anything from the Bible...

Since coming here to the site... and seeing so much of scripture come together and 'FIT'... it has made God so REAL.  He's NOT just a figure somewhere in the heavenlys... looking down on us little people here....  He is SPIRIT... and walks along with us everywhere we go.  It's become a natural thing to just 'talk' to Him... and want to change our wills and our ways..
Such a blessing!!
We all need encouragement .... and my prayer is going to be that God will continue to work in your heart and make Himself REAL to you. 
Love this forum...

Agree with Connie and Dennis, and Eggi as well.

My 'loss of faith' happened before B-T.  It's also true that my thoughts about God and the scripture have changed and are changing.  This 'growth' is uncomfortable, and it MAY be at the heart of what you're sharing.  I don't know for sure.  I can't tell you how many times I've been shaken to my bones. 

Besides beginning to see Scripture fold together AND explain the world, I saw results in my own life begin.  Some sins and wrong attitudes just dropped away, the fruit of the Spirit began to grow.  Stubborn sins began to have less 'dominion' over me.  All this in ways that were sometimes true in my church years, but without patience and power.

It's been three steps forward and two and a half backwards for these five years.  But the more I 'test' what is true, the more true it becomes.  He is patient with you.  I think we should return the favor and be patient with Him.
