Comment: Sarah A. I must say, faith is a belief in something, while doubt is an uncertainty of the validity of what you believe in. Therefore, doubt is not an element or component of faith, but it does lead to it. Doubting is a process of searching. It means evaluating what you believe and comparing it to what others believe about that same subject. A lack of doubt concerning the subject of your faith suggests an ignorance of what you believe. Doubt causes a person to examine what they believe and become familiar with it. Doubting, no matter how much or how little, leads to faith. There are times when doubting a subject in your faith causes you to look into it and find faith in a something opposite of what you previously believed, yet the doubt still leads to faith. Without this uncertainty, faith cannot be found or strengthened. It is a vital process to finding faith.
