Yeah, this is true. I realised after posting associating doubt with sin isn't right. But yeah.. it would be when the doubt takes hold and we choose to disobey that it is sin.

Still though, aside from doubt, we do sin all the time in our thoughts. It's impossible to be sinless until we end up in heaven.

Anyway, in regards to doubt, there are many people who have analytical/scientific/probing minds who look underneath things and would have questions and doubts in their walk. I've heard christians say you CAN'T doubt or that if they come across an obstacle they just 'have faith'.. well.. how is that faith if they aren't exploring what the answer is and overcoming through learning and trusting God in that process?

Some people don't care for apologetics.. but I like them. This is where doubts can be faced and overcome. Answers found built up faith on a more solid ground.
I tend to be of analytical probing mind. I have liked looking into apologetics. I have watched a couple debates, one between Christians and another between a Christian and a non Christian. I listened to one between an atheist and a pastor though I'm not sure how much I listened to . I feel like my mind comes up with all kinds of questions some of which are born from curiosity.
