so like i believe in God and Jesus Christ but sometimes i feel like im arguing with myself. like i could be reading the bible or praying and then also of a sudden there like two people in my head or something telling me that " this isn't real" or "hes not gonna help". i try hard to always push it out of my mind and concentrate on God. Does this happen to you? or am i crazy?

Oh that happens to me all the time. I would ask God, and it seems like nothing's coming. I talked to my youth pastor, and this is what he said: "But you know, we really shouldn't trust our feelings. Our mind and our feelings are always going to be in a war. Feelings always deceives, but our mind has the Holy Spirit in it." Soo...We should probably at least try to ignore our feelings. Want me to pray for you?

I still have days like that. Just keep your faith and you WILL grow. None of us are perfect or Jesus wouldn't have had to die on the cross. Peace and Blessings P.S. I'll pray for you Hon.

happens to me too, but in a different way. when i read the bible i dont hear my mind saying "this isn't true" but i do hear my mind arguing like "why did God do it this way?"
I don't fully understand Gods way of doing things, but i accept that His ways are Holy and right.
Also, my mind argues with me about my salvation sometimes. "How can you be saved when you said that/did that?" this is an attack from satan. Gods word plainly says that we can know we have eternal life.
there are days i dont feel saved, but i have to base my salvation on Gods word, not my feelings. This is something i have really been learning and trying to do more of lately. rely on what Gods word says, not how i feel, not what my mind says when trying to reason things out so i can understand them.
hope this makes sense! razz

Does this happen to you? or am i crazy? Yes, something similar to that, but I wouldn't be reading a bible. Sometimes I try to think so much on what I believe/what I don't and what religion I'm considered under (even though it's not that important if I believe in God no matter what). I came to a point I don't really want to be considered Catholic anymore like my family & what I grew up with. They sent out good messages where it made you feel better, but some points where they threaten you if you don't do certain stuff then you'd go to hell.:/ I might just be a plain Christian or Non Denominational Christian. Either way I'd say I'm Christian. I had times where I ask myself if there really is a God or not. There's been times I had doubt, but things kept me going to have my heart tell me never give up on faith or God since I almost did once. If i ever wanted to find out anything or question about myself on it, I know not to jump to the conclusion that there is no God since there can be answers if you actually take the time to see through it instead of sitting back and say you don't believe anymore, like many people do.

Oh yah, that happens a lot… I guess that’s what Jesus was trying to get at when he said “have faith like a child” (... I really can’t remember where…) when you’re little you can accept things so easily because you completely trust everyone, in the same way we need to completely trust God, ignore our doubts, and stop making it more complicated than it is. Sure it’s hard but I often find that when I put all my faith into the Father life becomes a whole lot easier.

Does this happen to you? or am i crazy? Buddy, you are not crazy! That even happens to seasoned Christians. The enemy is trying to get you away from God's word. He will put doubt in your head at times. Cling more to God and ask for Jesus' guidance. You are in God's hands.
