CHRISTIANITY OR . . . ? ? ?
Honest Doubt
“If we receive the witness of
men, the witness of God is great
er.” — (I John 5 : 9)
Often when pressing the claims
of Christ upon men and urging
them to believe the Gospel, I
have had them seek to parry by
declaring that they could not be
lieve, as they were honest doubt
ers. I suppose there i* such a
thing as an honest doubter, but
I dislike the expression when
that which men profess honestly
to doubt is the infallible Word of
the living God.
Tennyson has written,
"There is more faith in honest
doubt, Believe me, than in half
your creeds.”
I am not so sure that Tennyson
was correct; certainly not if it is
a question of doubting the truth
of the Gospel. I would not like
to go home and tell my wife some
thing and have her say, “Well,
my dear, I am trying to believe
you, but, honestly, I doubt you.
I believe there is more faith in
honest doubt than in being too
sure you are not trying to put
one over on me.”
A lady said when I had ex
plained the way of life as clear
ly as I knew how and shown
her some plain, definite passages
from the Holy Scriptures, such
as John 5 : 24 and Mathew 11 : 28,
“Well I am trying to believe.”
“Trying to believe whom?” I
inquired. “It is God who has
spoken in His Word. What do
you mean by saying you are try
ing to believe Him?”
She saw her sin and her mis
take and exclaimed, “Oh, I did
not realize what I was saying.
Yes, I can and do believe what
God has declared.” And her
soul entered into peace.
