What if He places in one’s heart ‘doubt’ about Christianity and its teachings and traditions and directs one’s path out of it and out of religion altogether?
Like the command He gives to come out of her my people?
Is there a way to doubt without losing faith? Doubt that leads one to see they had misplaced faith- faith in inherited lies like Jeremiah 16:19 speaks to? A journey that actually strengthens one’s faith in Him but not in what others tell about Him?
If I tell people I met Him as the Roman Jesus but He didn’t let me stay there, that would make little sense to people like the Pope or Billy Graham.
And He led me to doubt things that cause me to see all religion in the world like Islam,Judiasm and Christianity as babel. And that fits with the rest of the counterfeit babylonian world we live in.
I was a protestant who unlearned about Rome’s Jesus and learned about the genuine Joshua/Yahshua..
And Judaism and Christianity would have trouble telling that story with what they follow today.
But I am peculiar. I don’t call it Woden’s Day (wednesday)anymore like the world does.
I call it His 5th Day. A day that commemorates Him making the creatures in the Seas and birds of the Heavens.
I ‘doubt’ religious people would be willing to go that far in their journey - it would mean unlearning even the most innocent things we were taught as children..
And what a change when I never used to doubt good Friday and easter Sunday before..
But now, I have big doubts about it because I know that isn’t true.
But I know what is Truth- Passover and First Fruits. Just as Paul taught.
One is based on the world.
But the Truth is based on scripture, as Paul taught.
And not sure that difference would make sense to the Pope and Billy Graham.
It made a world of difference in my faith. Faith I used to have in another Jesus and another gospel compared to my faith now in the Way, Truth and Life.
And He was gentle in leading me out. It didn’t make sense at time. Now I know.
Doubt isn’t bad if one learns to doubt the world and trust Him and His Word.
It can lead one to amazing Truth that only He can teach..
HalleluYah!
God is never going to place doubt about Himself in people’s hearts.
Push your Hebrews Roots stuff or whatever it is somewhere else.
Nobody is interested in what you can’t back up with Scripture anyway.
I am glad you are happy. When we all stand before God to give Him an account of our thoughts, words and actions, I am glad that I will be measured on Christ’s merit as my substitute, like the passover lamb or the ram given in substitute for Issac.
You can stand before God on your terms. That is religious freedom.
As for doubt, obviously the object of faith must be God’s Truth. We should always be studying and searching the Scriptures and praying for understanding. That is not doubt. That is obedience that comes from faith.
The Old Testament says plenty about faith and doubt. By faith Abraham left his home for a promise God gave him that he believed. By faith Noah built that Ark while his neighbors mocked him. By faith Joshua led that march around Jericho. On and on. “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding” is in the Old Testament.
What Jew and Christian can share in the area of faith is that God is real, He is loving, He is just, He hates sin, He is faithful to His promises, etc. What we do not share is the means by which we get His approval. Of course we both say faith is the means, in one sense. But the object of that faith for me in in Christ, God’s Son. God the Father raised Him from the dead and gave Him the name above every name, that at His feet every knee shall bow and tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, TO THE GLORY OF GOD THE FATHER. I will worship Him with every part of my being as my Savior and Lord.
Your faith I will let you explain, of course I could but it is not my place. In the realm of politics, I am very grateful for the truths that we do share. They are significant.
Well, aren’t you just so spiritual now?
We’re just all so impressed at how much better you are than everyone else.
Good for you....
