What should do someone who want to be a christian but just fail to be 100% sure about God existence ?

I assume you cannot fake to believe just to be saved, but you either cannot force yourself to be 100% sure as well even if you really wish you could.

God never punishes his children.


I'm by no means an expert on Christianity, but really?

How about the expulsion from Eden, the Flood, Sodom, ...?

How can you ask a being you do not believe in to grant you faith in the existence of that same being?

...what would it hurt if you did ?

The metaphor is to knock on the door . The acronym is ASK - ask , seek , knock .

Wouldn't hurt a thing, I guess.


How would you adress something that you do not believe in?

...with humility and honesty . There is not a entreaty that God has not heard before , He is far more concerned with what is in our hearts that what comes out of our mouths .

I feel like you misunderstand the question. Sorry if I'm being unclear.


It seems to me that before you can pose God questions, you have to believe in him. If you don't believe in him, isn't asking him anything impossible?

How can an unbeliever ask God to give him faith?
