Is it okay to doubt God? The short answer is yes—but only if that doubt leads to seeking the truth, not rejecting it. Doubting in itself is not sinful. In fact, even some of Jesus’ closest followers had doubts. One of the most well-known examples is Thomas. After the resurrection, he famously said he would not believe unless he saw the nail marks in Jesus' hands (John 20:25). But when Jesus appeared and invited Thomas to touch His wounds, Thomas responded, “My Lord and my God!” (John 20:28). His doubt ended in belief.

If everyone lived by just these two commands, there would be no hatred, no violence, no exploitation, and no injustice. Imagine a world like that. It is not just a utopian dream—it is what the Kingdom of God is meant to be. But here is where things often go wrong. Some misinterpret Jesus’ teachings as permission to ignore Old Testament law. That is simply not true. Jesus never g...
