Christian math.

I have recently come to the conclusion that the amount of my faith, if faith could even be measured, does not exist in proportion to my doubts.

That the more faith I have in what I believe does not mean the less doubts and questions that will arise in the future.

And, in relation, the more uncertainties that arise in my human, fallible and un-omniscient mind, is not reason to suggest I am losing faith in what I am certain of.

Because the definition of faith is "a simple trust in the Providence of God."

And the purpose of questioning and doubting is

to gain a deeper reverence for the character of God,

to obtain a greater understanding of yourself,

to reach a more enlightening conclusion about something,

essentially, to find the Truth.

But to place faith and doubt on the same platform would be to erroneously equate them. For in no way does what come from fallible creatures (doubt) balance that which is given by the infallible God (faith).

And to believe that, because I have faith, I will no longer doubt is just as grave a mistake.

Luke 17:5,6:

The apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our faith!"

He replied, "If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, 'Be uprooted and planted in the sea,' and it will obey you.

A simple trust; a complex concept.
