    Doubt - Is Doubt Unbelief? Does It Mean I Lack Faith? Series

    Contributed by Bruce Hadley on Oct 22, 2019
     | 7,701 views

    Doubt – What exactly is doubt? What does Jesus mean by telling us If ye have faith, and doubt not? James tells us that we ought to ask in faith, without doubting, For he that doubts is like a wave blowing with the wind. Is doubt unbelief? Do I not believe God because I have doubts?
