“”Kosta50? The same kosta50 who is a self-professed agnostic?””

Dear sister, many people who suffer a crises in faith turn out to be the strongest in faith through such trials, and if you ever read the lives of many of the saints you would see this.

So, perhaps your intent to publicly castigate Kosta could end up being a millstone around your neck?

It is certainly possible that from time-to-time everyone goes through a "crisis of faith". I do believe that our Father in Heaven allows them to "try our faith", to test it, not to discover if it is real or not, but to refine it, to make it stronger. I have gone through these times, I readily admit it, and have come out on the other end stronger in my faith and more sure of the truths of God's word. On the other hand, not once did I express my doubts, questions and conflicts to total strangers because I did not want to cause anyone to stumble or be caught up in what was my own to bear.

I question the sincerity of those who do and who, whether they realize it or not, are used by Satan to confuse and draw others away from the truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Don't use Scripture to attack/condemn one of God's own to satisfy a agnostic poster when according to Scripture he is INCAPABLE of understanding God's Word!

1 Corinthians 2:14
"The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit."

They cannot understand the Bible, or the way in which God works. For the Bible is not like any other book where you can read it and give a book review at the end. The Bible is full of ‘spiritual truths’ and we need the indwelling Holy Spirit to speak to us and ‘reveal’ the hidden truths in it.

Don't use God's Word unless you show reverence to it. If you disagree with don't use it. It's not a plaything to mock and correct at your leisure. Satan hates The Word and mocked it, also. Jesus is THE WORD. You mock Jesus when you mock His Word and you mock the Holy Spirit because His Word is Holy Spirit inspired. You are on dangerous ground.
