Hi I’m Goal’d. I was a believer for about 20yrs and thought I’d never leave the Faith. But that’s what happened because instead of denying my doubts or suppressing them, I investigated my doubts.

I stopped using the devil as an excuse to ignore my doubts: thinking it was a spiritual attack when my conscience was trying to warn me. Its human to doubt things that seem wrong. Its the exact same feeling for everything that arouses suspicions in us. That means our doubts are trying to protect us.

What if you were doing a difficult math problem and wrote down your best answer. And as you looked over the problem, this doubt comes over you that says it wrong. Do you ignore the doubt and go on to the next problem or redo the problem? You do the latter because you’d rather investigate the doubt and be right than ignore the doubt and be wrong.

This is what every Christian should when they have doubts: Investigate! Something about the Bible rubs you the wrong way? Search deep on why that is. Don’t silence your conscience when it’s trying to warn you.

It’s unwise to look to your friends with the math problem because they don’t believe in checking their work. Even if they’re wrong, they’d rather trust their answer is right and would convince you to do the same.

Don’t get so comfortable suppressing your doubts that you get numb to it and you lose the sense of that warning signal you were born with.
