Doubt is an evil sin that should be repented of. It is not something to seek.

“Without faith it is IMPOSSIBLE to please God.”

“Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!” Mark 9:24

No one has perfect faith, but every time I have doubts, I think, “Where else can I go? Only God has the answers and He knows that I’m a weak vessel.”

BTW, every source I can find has Thomas being martyred near Madras, India.

Except Wikipedia, which claims only that Thomas was accidentally shot with a hunter's arrow. According to Marco Polo, 700 years later.

Socrates, Plato’s mentor, had a student who came to him while he was kneeling by a stream. The student asked Socrates, “What is truth?” Without hesitation, Socrates grabbed the boy, held him under water until the boy began to struggle, pulled him up, and answered, “When you want knowledge the way you just wanted air, then you shall have it.”

In other words, Socrates dodged the question and punished the student who asked it.

I clicked on your source and looked at the recommended books. Just as I suspected, it is mostly Emergent Church authors. Not good. They love doubt.

I didn’t mean to pick on you, netmom. I see your faith all the time. It’s just that this is a big issue with me. I had to fight against this cancerous teaching several years ago.
