It most certainly does.  God knows his people are sinners and he forgives them as long as they are sorry and continue to believe in Jesus as their savior.  If they are sorry, or stop committing so many sins but no longer believe in Jesus, then he does not forgive them.  Those people don't care, because they no longer believe in salvation, but God is still keeping track of them and will punish them after they die for their lack of belief, no matter how good they were compared to faithful Christians.[/quote]

But how do you make yourself believe in something? A person could go through all the motions -- praying, reading the Bible, going to church, etc., but what if, buried deep in their heart, they have doubts? What are they supposed to do about that? What if they try to believe until their last breath, but can't make the doubt go away?

That is my ultimate difficulty with this variety of Christianity. All of the things a person can control, all of the things they can make choices about, are irrelevant. All that matters is something that's not truly within their control.[/quote]

EVERYONE has doubts at some point in their life. Even the most devoutly religious Christians. Doubt is part of faith and part of belief.  You don't "make yourself" believe something. You live your life as a follower of Jesus Christ. Even He acknowledged doubts and in fact, talks about them in the New Testament.

Don't you ever "doubt" that you love your DH?  Be honest here. But does that mean you up and decide to divorce him tomorrow, because of it?[/quote]
