I have been faced with many thoughts in the past to question the existence of God but with the society norms, I haven't been able to ask the question.
It was recently, I got to believe that the ability to question God's existence is in everyone mental reasoning and strength. That's why I ask the question that; Is questioning the existence of God a sin?

No,
I doubt think so.
God himself has empowered your brain to do so...

WinLABSnStores:

No,

With the empowered brain, can it be see as a sin when you disbelieve in His existence?

I don't think it's reasonable to think that God doesn't exist. It's just that, our IMAGINATIONS of the form of good maybe what's not correct. That's why many religion and believes exists.
Furthermore, it's also not reasonable to think that there's no force somewhere responsible for creations... Do you believe in the "big bang theory" ?

no. I believe that there is a force driving religious people, maybe different forces for different groups but does that create God?

The argument that everything(the different galaxies, moons and planets) appeared out of nothing is not a very strong argument.

It is more likely that something caused them to be. Maybe all the different creation stories are just summaries of what actually caused everything to be. Maybe the process of creation actually took a very long time enough to fit into the theory of evolution.

Maybe the whole process started with a big bang orchestrated by a particular being...

No one can logically prove or disprove this. No one can logically prove or disprove the existence of a supreme being. You can only question it and ofcourse question his motives and actual desires

Disproving the image of God as captured by various religions is easy.

But disproving that a supreme being started the big bang for whatever reasons is impossible.

I doubt questioning God's existence is a sin though. I dont think gullibility is a virtue

But making a definite conclusion that there is no God despite your inability to logically prove it doesnt sound very intelligent.

Take care what thoughts you intertain in your heart. The greatest battle for our souls takes place there. Some thoughts are not yours, but projected by external forces.

This is my own opinion and view on your question, questioning from the standpoint of ignorance is not wrong provided you have an open mind to accept the truth and realities available.

Some times due to hardships, difficulties and unfulfilled dreams people have questioned many things, including the existence of God, like if God exist, why would he allow this and that to happen or continue to happen. Remember, God was there when His only begotten son was crucified/killed, He did nothing as it were neither did He permit any angel, spirit or created thing to act. The ertah protested (earthquake), and the elements reacted (Darkenes). But the process went on. Why?. The almighty had a plan. He's an intentional God, and doesn't owe anybody complete details of why he does or should do what he does, patience and believe is what we need.

It is natural for us to seek physical evidence first before we believe, but he says, blessed are those who believe even when they haven't seen.

The lowest level a man can go is to question the existence of God, believing that he doesn't exist is subtly saying that you are a mistake that just happened by chance and was not intentionally created by someone. Hence, the Bible calls such a fool.

Making a categorical statement and accepting the believe that God doesn't exist, after all evidences provided to you by circumstances, events and most importantly the Bible, is a sin!.

Funny enough you actually need faith to be an atheist. The more logical position will be that of the agnostic.

The atheist has to believe that there is no God despite not having enough proof to make that conclusion.

An atheist says; i believe there is no person on earth called Salamandocolo because there is no proof that he exists

The deist says; there is someone known as that because i have read books that spoke of his exploits

The agnostic says; i dont know ! There is no proof that he exists and there is no logical argument that prevents such a person from existing

It takes faith to be an atheist

Thank you for this, I do have patience but believe is what I am battling with.

Thank you for this insightful comment. So, there are high chances of a supreme being? Are you a christain?

hmmm.. I love this logic. So atheist is also a religion disbelieving God existence.

if you have no real knowing of him, it becomes irrational not to question His very existence.

I do have real spiritual scenario (a personal drive) to know of him years ago, but will sin hinders it? Should a sinner not know of him?
Do I have sacrifice to make?

Even those who claim to know Him are not all completely without sin. Remember Peter?

A drive to know Him is what is needed and a desire to surrender is another.

Dannyfan:
no. I believe that there is a force driving religious people, maybe different forces for different groups but does that create God?

Definitely I think.
God must be responsible for all our actions.
And there's no manual or moral to what we think is right or wrong apart from what we humans have created for ourselves.

OP, just stating the facts respectfully... it doesn't indicate strength of mind, but in my opinion - ignorance of the existence, righteousness, and dominance of Almighty GOD; because if one knew one wouldn't have to ask the question.

"The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, They have done abominable works, There is none who does good." - Psalm 14:1

It appears to be a question that doesn't stem from faith, but unbelief... "for whatever is not from faith is sin." - Romans 14:23 (in part)

"But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him." - Hebrews 11:6 (Also James 1:7-9)

A word on unbelief... Romans 11:20, Hebrews 3:12
