Hi,
have you ever got the doubt that God, and conseguently Jesus, don't exist?
I mean, if God is infinitely good, how he can allow certain people do what they do?
How he could allowed the 9/11?
And how he could allow the wars, the natural disasters, all the bad things happening in the world, that are paid much more by the poor people?

The short answer is yes. I am a person who's struggling to believe in "Jesus" a such. I prefer the possible name "Yeshua" to the pseudo-name "Jesus".
I pretty firmly believe that there is a "God" as it seems to me to take a great deal more "faith" to believe that "Everything just happened"...If "God" is one who loves and desires a loving relationship with people, then peole have to be free to choose to love or not.... Love can not be forced... For a proper choice to be made "God must pretty much hide Himself from clear view and provide a pretty decent (if not quite perfec) environment for us to live in. But men, through "bad" choices have allowed "evil" to multiply and dominate the earth. I believe that "God" will soon rectify the situation and restore the world to it's proper condition soon. I think that we are in the time of the beginning of troubles before the end... I hope and that there was, is and always will be "Jesus" but at this time I cannot definetly state that I believe...

I never did. We may not see Him but I am pretty sure that He is just around watching and listening to what we share to him. Our life, depends on our hand and to His hand. Every good and bad things happened in this world has its own reason/s why it happened. And, regarding those wars and disasters, He did not chose that but we do! We are the responsible of things happening here, and not Him.

I have asked many of those questions myself, but I've never come to the conclusion that God or Jesus Christ doesn't exist. I've come to the conclusion that all of those bad things are a result of us humans. It's not God that does this to us, it's each other. That's why Jesus' message of love is such an important one. If we learn to love each other, and show our brotherly love to everyone, the wars and violence will disappear, and we will have a better world.

I have never doubted! I know that God excists! Even when the worse things that could happen, does happen to me or my loved ones I know it happens for a reason and I can take comfort in God! There is a reason for everything and sometimes we are not suppose to know everything and why bad things happen to good people.
