No, of course not. No sin at all.

How can anyone grow in faith if they don’t question it? To understand faith, foster a strong faith, and be able to answer for our faith, questionning is fundamental. Doubt is neccessary for growth.

Obstinate doubt is another matter. To refuse to believe something revealed by God through the Church may be sinful. We need to reconcile our own faith to God’s revelation, and to deliberately choose otherwise can become sinful.

Dear Inquiring person,
I wonder do you ever question your religion relative to Bible?
In realms of (say) 1. Salvation 2. The structure of the Church. 3. Bible prophecy. Particularly
Daniel and Revelation. (You might consider Dan.7 and Rev.13 )
Do you really have an ‘inquiring’ spirit?

God bless, Cyril.
