Hi! Can I please ask you a question? I am really doubtful about something. I've been researching and have come to find out that there are some bible verses missing, and books of the Bible that may have been taken out. Of course, the Bible was written by man but I've been told that the inspiration is from God. So, why were the translators taking out books and verses out of the bible?? I'm not sure about this and am honestly starting to question my faith and beliefs. I don't want to say I don't believe in the Lord, but I'm not sure anymore. Please help me understand.And doesn't it say that we must not alter God's word??? Isn't that contradiction?? What's going on here??Im also afraid that if I ask questions like this that I'm committing blasphemy but I'm just not sure about any of this anymore....
Please pray 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻for me I am struggling with doubt because of false teachings I’ve heard from different sources I’m a new Christian and feel I’m hanging on by a thread God has proved himself to me over and over since first crying out to him in June this year I was full of the Holy Spirit and on fire for jesus I then gave my life to him in October and since have been attacked nightly with thoughts of disbelief that I know in my heart isn’t true but my head says otherwise I’m waking at 3am and struggling I no longer feel his presence and my faith is dwindling please pray for me that my god will not leave me and hold me up my anxiety is through the roof I can’t read my bible properly or pray as I did !!all I can do is praise him for what he has already done and I will never stop praising him I still go to church but my heart feels numb anyone got any answers for me 🙏🏻❤️

My doubt comes from experience of being rejected over and over. I DO NOT doubt God and what he can do. What he can do is Unlimited! My prayers and asks is a specific thing I need. Lord please remove even the doubt from my experiences and show me again who you are in Jesus Name.
Most people just want to have their ears tickled like Jesus said. To fall into the faith comfort zone. Go out and test your faith to see if it stands up to scrutiny.
I have been a chritian my whole life this very night is the first night of my whole life I have doubted him watching me and doubted his being and I can't belive myself I couldn't imagine never being a Christian but tonight I could I don't feel well I feel depressed and uncalled I feel pain and distant from him I just want ro find my way back to him
That feeling IS the feeling of what it’s like to be separated from God. …Hopeless. I’ve taken it to BE the EVIDENCE that God is real because He’s showing us a snippet of what existence is without His love.

My lack of fruit scares me and makes me doubt bc, ‘you will know them by their fruit.’ And, ‘a good tree cannot bear bad fruit not can a bad tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.’
Please keep doubting, and evaluate evidence before coming to a conclusion given by random people on the internet. Do not forget that you should never use your own or other people’s personal experience as evidence under any circumstance.
@janainamedina9871 Praying for you sister as you pray for me. ✨🙏👏 Father God we believe, help us with our unbelief. You Lord are maker of all and your evidence and grace surround us from sunrise to sunset. Keep our arms strong, hearts open wide for others and ready for your return, and our feet and legs ready to run, so that we may carry the missions you have for us. Whatever they might be. Lord, we believe but sometimes upon our tainted hearts we struggle in this world, we all sometimes forget your goodness and where you have blessed us in life. You are full of mercy and love, thank you for loving us through all the stages of our faith. In Jesus Christ name we pray. Amen
@@janainamedina9871 amen sister I receive that prayer 🙏 I will also tell you like another sister in a Christ recently told me…”Be strong. Your family will need you to be strong.”💪 our faith is being tested because the enemy knows our strength from the Lord, he knows if he can cause us to fall away he can effect generations. We shall stay strong sister even through our weakness and our wrestling like David ⚔️ which is made strong through our faith in God. ❤️🔥
Hi sister, coming back to testify, the Lord has recently cleared up so much doubt and unbelief the enemy planted. I hope he has given you similar glimmers of just how real he is! Keep faithful he will show you if he hasn’t since you seek!
Its good to self evaluate at times to make sure we are in the faith. I always beleive the best assurance of salvation is Gods presence in your mind, i cant go a single hour without thinking of God. Its a relationship, its about Jesus. How important is He to you? Do you desire to grow in Him? Are you willing to obey and follow Him? Do you reject the world? Are you convicted / feel remorse when you sin? When you get down, pick yourself up and keep fighting, its a spiritual war out there.
@@bobbyraejohnson I believe you should minister and be open to hearing the criticism they might have for Christianity. But being buddy buddy with them may lead you into sin
I am still struggling with this but much better yeah kind of wrecked me in highschool and pregrad school but am making progress. Obviously there has to be a holy spirit residing in me even when I stopped believing I never encouraged Christians nor non Christians that God wasn’t real so idk maybe you could say I believed the whole time??

Jesus thankfully distinguished a difference between doubt and unbelief. Doubts are natural but prayer can resolve them. Unbelief is rejection of God and usually caused by Satan or by one’s own arrogance or more likely ignorance. Both can be overcome but true humility is key
If you’re a Christian and you’re struggling with doubt let me tell you this man is praying on your struggles, and also trying to take what little money you have 🙏
Before starting to live for Jesus i was a lukewarm Christian my whole life and feared death a lot . Then with Jesus i had that fear gone by getting way closer to Him and realizing that He is real and Heaven and hell are too. But that fear of death comes to me sometimes again in the type of unwanted doubt and i see it as a spiritual attack . In one way I feel good abt it bcs I know im closer to God and satan gets mad abt it but in the other way I feel fear that these attacks wont ever end
Thanks I needed to hear this. On most days my faith is strong but once in awhile doubt creeps into my head. I get very upset when this happens but your advice is very helpful. May God bless you. ✝️🙏🏼
Amen! Thank you for saying this! I heart from time to time that doubts are not good, but the opposite like your thinking of doubts, I heard not really often... Greetings and blessings from Switzerland! 🇨🇭
Brother Parr, I praise the Lord and give Glory to him for using you as his vessel with this message. I needed to hear this, to consume this so much today. It's not just doubt I struggle with. It's knowing God's grace is sufficient. It's wondering "who I am" to Christ but also asking who he wants me to be? I am literally lost in this moment and feel very alone. I appreciate this word though, it certainly helps.
Why are You wondering Who You are in Christ? If You have Accepted Him as your Saviour, Trust and Rely Only on Him, Not the things of this world, have Turned and Repented of your old life, You are His Child, are Saved. Best to Focus on Who He Is, Serve Him and Your Fellowman, Follow and Obey Him. Confess sins, and ask for Forgiveness. I write this for Newbies to the Faith, and for people who don't know Jesus yet. God Bless.
You're Never alone in Jesus, The Holy Spirit Lives Within us, He Turns us From our sin. Even though we don't always feel God's Presence, He Is Always With us. At one, short time, I wanted to feel His Presence and to Always Speak in Tongues. I got over that, Thank The Lord! It's about Trusting in what we cannot see, THAT'S FAITH. God Bless.
His grace is sufficient, and you have been perfected for all time (Hebrews 10:14). Who you are to God is an adopted son (Ephesians 1:5) whom He loves with a love that surpasses knowledge (Ephesians 3:19). He wants you, in short, to be more like Christ (1 Corinthians 11:1) and an ambassador for Him (2 Corinthians 5:20). We learn how to do that by His Word. I'll be praying for you
@@viviennejordan215thank you!! I keep expecting myself to be perfect and when I fall short I doubt my faith!! I’m a baby Christian. I want to want to serve God but I’m so afraid of failing that I’m afraid to try.
I don't Doubt my faith I trusting god And everything he's done for everyone in this earth Sometimes I doubt the church That's why I think Sunday's I don't need to go to church Because it says Go to gods house I think god with me everywhere Doesn't matter I'm Going to 711 to get milk Taking my dog for a walk Or whatever Does nothing says I can't pray to him Constantly And think about Everything and what I need to give on to him and what I can do myself
Hi, don't try to do it in yourself, We Need to have Fellowship with our Brothers and Sisters in Christ, they Support us, Encourage us, Bible Study is Essential, to Know and Understand God's Word. I thought I understood some things for years, then when going to Bible Study, it meant something else. We Need to Worship God, Give Him Thanks and Praise, Even for the small things. Worshipping, Singing Praise to The Lord, with your Brethren is a Beautiful and Powerful thing. We Can't do it alone, we can get distracted, diverted by the evil one. I haven't bn well enough to get to Church, so watch on U Tube, but it's Not the same. I Hope to get there soon, and to the Monday meetings. God Bless You.
@@viviennejordan215same here have not been able to read my bible or get to church and find that doubts seeping in now so i need to get to church be around strong fellow believers..
Guard your heart with your mind. Not the other way around. No matter what sound reasoning i give you, you will cling to your objection if its based on feelings. Problem of evil is an example. Im not always emotionally satisfied with answers to the POE but i am 100 percent satisfied intellectually.
Hey, feel free to shoot me a message if you need to hear some actual reasons for the belief that God exists, to ease whatever serious doubts you may have
If your having doubts, that would be your rational mind trying to get you to acknowledge reality. It’s a moment of clarity in a mindset of make believe and pretend.
Every idea in Christianity that didn’t make sense & made me question or doubt turned out to be new ideas to Christianity over the last few hundred years. The original teachings of Christians & the knowledge of Judaism behind them made everything fit together perfectly like a jigsaw puzzle. Things to help with your journey that helped me: The Liturgy of the Hours (prayers); Divine Mercy TH-cam channel: Explaining the Faith with Chris Alar; EWTN, especially watching Mitch Pacwa (tv, internet, radio, Christian newspaper); The Catechism of the Catholic Church (book. Clearly explains all doctrine with Bible sources)
I struggle with perpetual doubt, and It never ceases. I don't struggle with existamce of God, or even Jesus dieing for me. I doubt that God is good and that God loves me
I don't agree about the "Christianity " statement, but everything else shared fits what I struggle with at least once a week. Be blessed 🙌 my Brother in Christ.
Hi, Tara, Jesus Is The Way, The Truth, and The Life. He IS Life to All who Accept Him as their Saviour, Trust and Rely on Him. God's Word Is the Only Truth. Man has wandered Far from God, and leans on their own understanding. They have No Knowledge of God, as they have No Relationship with Him, and don't Read The Bible. Take Bible Study, have Fellowship with other Christians. They Support us, Encourage us, Pray for us, have Bible Study with us, Worship our Father in Heaven with us. God Bless.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding, bible says in Proverbs 3:5. If you apply this, there’s an assurance that the doubt will seize.
You've basically described the proper way to deconstruct a person's faith. Not deconstruct in a way that leads a person away from God but in a way that leads a person to find out the truth.
A real relationship with Jesus is to surrender your heart to him. Like the disciples in the Bible just as they had a relationship with God(Jesus) so will we if we believe that Jesus Died and rose for our sin and. If you believe and trust in him. Surrendering everything to him, to walk with him, to know him, to speak to him ( Having intimacy with him meaning to seek him) like for example just like how you have a relationship with your family members, your friends he desire to have a relationship with you. Just say lord I surrender my heart my self to you have your way oh lord and lead me. Speak to me show me and reveal yourself to me I want to have a relationship with you I want to know you lord. He will if you seek him with all your heart.
I’m at the point where I’ll never have 100% facing God until more positive things happen in my life kinda hard to have Faith when you experience more negative than positive
The Bible says that those who don't know God cannot love, and that's what's causing me to doubt. I don't know if I know what love is, or if I can even feel it. I don't know if I'm sincere in my love for God or not.
I'm struggling now not because of my experiences alone, God have been good to me. But I can't be blind to the fact the thousands of innocents are dying without gods protection across Palestine, Ukraine, Afghanistan, manipur and many more.
Ive been doubting my faith for a while now. I feel bad that i am. I feel God is mad a me for doubting even though I know he isn't. I know doubt contributes to having an even better relationship and confidence in Christ. Can some if you all pray for me? I need help through these tough times.
Struggling with Doubt, If used properly It could actually PROPEL YOU into a better place. 1 Embrace 2 Evaluate: Are my Doubts a Result of my Experience or Evidence, OR result of Expectation of GOD but the evidence doesn't change. 3 Explore: There is a real credible answer for Christianity.
Idk how to have faith and trust God and believe and receive, in turmoil, 10 yrs suffering, didn't know God before this, faith health mental crisis, heart not right or mind
John 20:24-29. We should not succumb in doubting God. Thomas (follower of Jesus) doubted until Jesus proved HE was alive. We believe God through our faith. F= Forsaking (everything/everyone) A= All I= In T= Trusting H= Him Blessings in the immutable Name Jesus Christ. (There is no trust in doubt).
I friend of mine came across some historical articles from professors that tried to disprove the credibility of the gospels. Needless to say, it affected him because he’s a relatively new Christian. I know that history proves that Jesus and the gospels are in fact credible sources, and from personal experience I can attest to how real Jesus is, but I’d appreciate if anyone has advice for me to give to him. So far I told him that every Christian has doubted before, even myself, and that it’s important to know that regardless of doubt, God is still available to answer prayers, questions, and to show his love. If anyone can think of other things I can tell my friend, please drop a comment below. Otherwise, I’d appreciate anyone who prays alongside myself that he conquers these doubts. God bless
Thank you, you just opened the door to real exploration and unadulterated analysis of "faith". If it is "truth" then it will stand up to honest analysis and scrutiny.
actually.. no, my doubt is not a result of my experience, but rather a LACK of it. See, my parents have made me accept Christ at the young age of seven (i’m 16 now), at the time i still didn’t understand it. I’ve only begun to understand God and salvation as i grew older. but sometimes i doubt whether i’m really saved, because i didn’t had a “bad sinful life” before i accepted Christ to compare to my life now. I didn’t had an amazing testimony or breakthrough.
Love the content, but tbf hate the "shorts" mechanism. I keep wanting to go back and listen to a snippet I misheard, but I have to rewatch the whole thing :(. Appreciate this post though!
I can't help but feel a deep sadness as I reflect on my belief that Christ sacrificed himself on the cross to atone for not only my sins but also the sins of the entire world. The weight of my own inadequacy fills me with fear, as I worry that I will never measure up and ultimately face the torment of hell.
My expectation/ experience: i'm not going to find any God fearing friends. Everyone always leaves. The evidence: God never left, Jesus is my best friend. And it's not that everyone leaves, it's that God has removed and kept away people that aren't good for me or my relationship with Him. Just realized this, never thought about it this way, thank you for this vid. :)
The fact we all looked for this video
Tells us that even tho our mind might be clouded or in doubt our heart still desires the lord’s company
Amen
It's not a fact that everyone looked for this video, it's an assumption.

But that being said i appreciate the criticism buddy there is indeed truth in your statement👍🏻

Even as an atheist and a former christian, these are great points. 100% agreed with you 👏
Why are u not a Christian?
In brief:
doubt = good IF end result is a cemented Christianity
doubt = bad IF end result is deconstruction
So basically, dammed if you do dammed if you don't.
Doubt= good if end result is cemented godly relationship, the end isn't always easy though, do keep doubting keep exploring
Doubt= good if it ends in deconstruction of human based "Christianity",
I believe God will always be at the end doubt that seeks to find the truth because no one wants to waste their time at fruitless activities. You need doubt. John said "are you the Messiah or should we find another".

If you’re a Christian and you’re struggling with doubt let me tell you this man is praying on your struggles, and also trying to take what little money you have 🙏
Before starting to live for Jesus i was a lukewarm Christian my whole life and feared death a lot . Then with Jesus i had that fear gone by getting way closer to Him and realizing that He is real and Heaven and hell are too. But that fear of death comes to me sometimes again in the type of unwanted doubt and i see it as a spiritual attack . In one way I feel good abt it bcs I know im closer to God and satan gets mad abt it but in the other way I feel fear that these attacks wont ever end
Thanks I needed to hear this. On most days my faith is strong but once in awhile doubt creeps into my head. I get very upset when this happens but your advice is very helpful. May God bless you. ✝️🙏🏼
Amen!
Thank you for saying this! I heart from time to time that doubts are not good, but the opposite like your thinking of doubts, I heard not really often...
Greetings and blessings from Switzerland! 🇨🇭
Hi, Greetings from England, and God Bless your week!
I don't know what it is but everytime I try to listen to this guy I don't get anything from it I need prayers in this time of my travels 🙏🏽
Brother Parr, I praise the Lord and give Glory to him for using you as his vessel with this message. I needed to hear this, to consume this so much today. It's not just doubt I struggle with. It's knowing God's grace is sufficient. It's wondering "who I am" to Christ but also asking who he wants me to be? I am literally lost in this moment and feel very alone. I appreciate this word though, it certainly helps.
Why are You wondering Who You are in Christ? If You have Accepted Him as your Saviour, Trust and Rely Only on Him, Not the things of this world, have Turned and Repented of your old life, You are His Child, are Saved. Best to Focus on Who He Is, Serve Him and Your Fellowman, Follow and Obey Him. Confess sins, and ask for Forgiveness. I write this for Newbies to the Faith, and for people who don't know Jesus yet. God Bless.
You're Never alone in Jesus, The Holy Spirit Lives Within us, He Turns us From our sin. Even though we don't always feel God's Presence, He Is Always With us. At one, short time, I wanted to feel His Presence and to Always Speak in Tongues. I got over that, Thank The Lord! It's about Trusting in what we cannot see, THAT'S FAITH. God Bless.
His grace is sufficient, and you have been perfected for all time (Hebrews 10:14). Who you are to God is an adopted son (Ephesians 1:5) whom He loves with a love that surpasses knowledge (Ephesians 3:19). He wants you, in short, to be more like Christ (1 Corinthians 11:1) and an ambassador for Him (2 Corinthians 5:20). We learn how to do that by His Word. I'll be praying for you
@@viviennejordan215thank you!! I keep expecting myself to be perfect and when I fall short I doubt my faith!! I’m a baby Christian. I want to want to serve God but I’m so afraid of failing that I’m afraid to try.
@@storyaboutmosquitoes9441hat is exactly what i am struggling with atm and am a baby christian as well...
I don't Doubt my faith I trusting god And everything he's done for everyone in this earth Sometimes I doubt the church That's why I think Sunday's I don't need to go to church Because it says Go to gods house I think god with me everywhere Doesn't matter I'm Going to 711 to get milk Taking my dog for a walk Or whatever Does nothing says I can't pray to him Constantly And think about Everything and what I need to give on to him and what I can do myself
Hi, don't try to do it in yourself, We Need to have Fellowship with our Brothers and Sisters in Christ, they Support us, Encourage us, Bible Study is Essential, to Know and Understand God's Word. I thought I understood some things for years, then when going to Bible Study, it meant something else. We Need to Worship God, Give Him Thanks and Praise, Even for the small things. Worshipping, Singing Praise to The Lord, with your Brethren is a Beautiful and Powerful thing. We Can't do it alone, we can get distracted, diverted by the evil one. I haven't bn well enough to get to Church, so watch on U Tube, but it's Not the same. I Hope to get there soon, and to the Monday meetings. God Bless You.
@@viviennejordan215same here have not been able to read my bible or get to church and find that doubts seeping in now so i need to get to church be around strong fellow believers..
Thank you for the message, Amen🙏♥️.
This made my day. As always you know just the right thing to say.
Thank God for all your teaches.. I learned a lot from you brother Allen Parr .and I pray for your safety...
Guard your heart with your mind. Not the other way around. No matter what sound reasoning i give you, you will cling to your objection if its based on feelings. Problem of evil is an example. Im not always emotionally satisfied with answers to the POE but i am 100 percent satisfied intellectually.
Amen Jesus is king lord and savior forever Amen Praise the LORD God bless everyone Amen
God Bless You Also.
I am currently struggling with this and this clip couldn’t have come at a better time!
Hey, feel free to shoot me a message if you need to hear some actual reasons for the belief that God exists, to ease whatever serious doubts you may have
If your having doubts, that would be your rational mind trying to get you to acknowledge reality. It’s a moment of clarity in a mindset of make believe and pretend.
On time!!! This was sooooooo helpful!!
Every idea in Christianity that didn’t make sense & made me question or doubt turned out to be new ideas to Christianity over the last few hundred years. The original teachings of Christians & the knowledge of Judaism behind them made everything fit together perfectly like a jigsaw puzzle. Things to help with your journey that helped me: The Liturgy of the Hours (prayers); Divine Mercy TH-cam channel: Explaining the Faith with Chris Alar; EWTN, especially watching Mitch Pacwa (tv, internet, radio, Christian newspaper); The Catechism of the Catholic Church (book. Clearly explains all doctrine with Bible sources)
God Loves you all so much ❤
I struggle with perpetual doubt, and It never ceases. I don't struggle with existamce of God, or even Jesus dieing for me. I doubt that God is good and that God loves me
I don't agree about the "Christianity " statement, but everything else shared fits what I struggle with at least once a week. Be blessed 🙌 my Brother in Christ.
Thank you
Please pray for my. My faith is shaky right now.
Hi, Tara, Jesus Is The Way, The Truth, and The Life. He IS Life to All who Accept Him as their Saviour, Trust and Rely on Him. God's Word Is the Only Truth. Man has wandered Far from God, and leans on their own understanding. They have No Knowledge of God, as they have No Relationship with Him, and don't Read The Bible. Take Bible Study, have Fellowship with other Christians. They Support us, Encourage us, Pray for us, have Bible Study with us, Worship our Father in Heaven with us. God Bless.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding, bible says in Proverbs 3:5.
If you apply this, there’s an assurance that the doubt will seize.
You've basically described the proper way to deconstruct a person's faith. Not deconstruct in a way that leads a person away from God but in a way that leads a person to find out the truth.
What does a relationship with Jesus look like?
A real relationship with Jesus is to surrender your heart to him. Like the disciples in the Bible just as they had a relationship with God(Jesus) so will we if we believe that Jesus Died and rose for our sin and. If you believe and trust in him. Surrendering everything to him, to walk with him, to know him, to speak to him ( Having intimacy with him meaning to seek him) like for example just like how you have a relationship with your family members, your friends he desire to have a relationship with you. Just say lord I surrender my heart my self to you have your way oh lord and lead me. Speak to me show me and reveal yourself to me I want to have a relationship with you I want to know you lord. He will if you seek him with all your heart.
Thanks for explaining
This is a trip because I’ve had doubts recently
Hey feel free to shoot me a message if these doubts ever come back, cause I know some reason to think that God exists that may help!
Thank you, Pastor Parr!
thank you man ❤
Amen JESUS CHRIST IS LORD GOD AMEN AND HALLELUJAH!! ✝️👑🦁🕍💒💯💞🙏🏻🙌🏻❤️🔥💖
Thanks you ❤❤
God Loves You Daily Reminder ✝️🙏🏾❤️
My doubts when I became aware faded to bring a strong faith which is life
Amen!! Jesus loves you!! 😀😀
I need this stuff pray because sometimes I wonder like what it would be to have no doubt
Jesus is 👑
Undeniable.
Thank you 🙏🏾
Amen God Bless, God loves us all😃❤️😃✝️🙏✝️🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️🙏✝️✝️✝️✝️❤️🙏😃❤️✝️✝️🙏
I’m at the point where I’ll never have 100% facing God until more positive things happen in my life kinda hard to have Faith when you experience more negative than positive
In Jesus name Amen ❤️🙏✝️♾✝️😊🫂. May God bless you all ❤️🙏✝️♾✝️😊🫂.
I really appreciate the alliterations you use to teach.
The Bible says that those who don't know God cannot love, and that's what's causing me to doubt. I don't know if I know what love is, or if I can even feel it. I don't know if I'm sincere in my love for God or not.
I'm struggling now not because of my experiences alone, God have been good to me. But I can't be blind to the fact the thousands of innocents are dying without gods protection across Palestine, Ukraine, Afghanistan, manipur and many more.
He's Working 🙏🏻
Ive been doubting my faith for a while now. I feel bad that i am. I feel God is mad a me for doubting even though I know he isn't. I know doubt contributes to having an even better relationship and confidence in Christ. Can some if you all pray for me? I need help through these tough times.
Struggling with Doubt, If used properly It could actually PROPEL YOU into a better place.
1 Embrace
2 Evaluate: Are my Doubts a Result of my Experience or Evidence, OR result of Expectation of GOD but the evidence doesn't change.
3 Explore: There is a real credible answer for Christianity.
I completely agree with what you said plus everyone has doubts every once and a while
Idk how to have faith and trust God and believe and receive, in turmoil, 10 yrs suffering, didn't know God before this, faith health mental crisis, heart not right or mind
John 20:24-29. We should not succumb in doubting God. Thomas (follower of Jesus) doubted until Jesus proved HE was alive. We believe God through our faith.
F= Forsaking (everything/everyone)
A= All
I= In
T= Trusting
H= Him
Blessings in the immutable Name Jesus Christ. (There is no trust in doubt).
I friend of mine came across some historical articles from professors that tried to disprove the credibility of the gospels. Needless to say, it affected him because he’s a relatively new Christian. I know that history proves that Jesus and the gospels are in fact credible sources, and from personal experience I can attest to how real Jesus is, but I’d appreciate if anyone has advice for me to give to him. So far I told him that every Christian has doubted before, even myself, and that it’s important to know that regardless of doubt, God is still available to answer prayers, questions, and to show his love. If anyone can think of other things I can tell my friend, please drop a comment below. Otherwise, I’d appreciate anyone who prays alongside myself that he conquers these doubts. God bless
Thank you, you just opened the door to real exploration and unadulterated analysis of "faith". If it is "truth" then it will stand up to honest analysis and scrutiny.
Can’t wait for your lesson next week!
actually.. no, my doubt is not a result of my experience, but rather a LACK of it. See, my parents have made me accept Christ at the young age of seven (i’m 16 now), at the time i still didn’t understand it. I’ve only begun to understand God and salvation as i grew older.
but sometimes i doubt whether i’m really saved, because i didn’t had a “bad sinful life” before i accepted Christ to compare to my life now. I didn’t had an amazing testimony or breakthrough.
u are God sent🥺
Love the content, but tbf hate the "shorts" mechanism. I keep wanting to go back and listen to a snippet I misheard, but I have to rewatch the whole thing :(. Appreciate this post though!
Who else loves JESUS, the HOLY SPIRIT and GOD ❤
Thomas the Doubter was a disciple and still doubted.
thank you
I can't help but feel a deep sadness as I reflect on my belief that Christ sacrificed himself on the cross to atone for not only my sins but also the sins of the entire world. The weight of my own inadequacy fills me with fear, as I worry that I will never measure up and ultimately face the torment of hell.
Thank you ...
Read, Read, Read the Word!!!
My expectation/ experience:
i'm not going to find any God fearing friends. Everyone always leaves.
The evidence:
God never left, Jesus is my best friend. And it's not that everyone leaves, it's that God has removed and kept away people that aren't good for me or my relationship with Him.
Just realized this, never thought about it this way, thank you for this vid. :)
