Mark BuchananSometimes doubting is not a lack of faith, but an expression of it. Sometimes to doubt is to merely insist that God be taken seriously not frivolously, to insist that our faith is placed in and upheld by something other than seeming conjuring tricks.
About This Quote
The idea that the doubting of the possibility of God’s existence is a lack of faith, is completely incorrect. When you doubt something, it does not mean that you are looking for an easy way out. Doubt helps you to think about things in a more critical way. If one did not have the ability to doubt, they would not have the ability to think critically about things.
