ver. Paul clearly teaches that Christians should marry fellow Christians (see 1 Cor 7:39). But often what happens to people who've made that choice is that they justify their behaviour by changing their beliefs on the issue of how God wants Christians engage in dating, relationships and marriage. This change in ethical beliefs can then infect any belief that God will judge unbelievers for rejecting Christ. After all who wants to believe that they won't spend eternity with their husband or wife whom they love so much? As sin takes over, it's possible that all sorts of denials of the gospel can then follow over time. At the end of the day we all face temptation to sin, but when God saved us through Christ he didn't save us as individuals, he saved us to be part of the body of Christ, the family of God, the church. We can help each other when we are tempted, we can pray for each other. We can be each other’s friends and hang out together in ways that help keep us out of situations where we know we'll be tempted. We're all facing various battles, let's help each other stand and fight them.

2) Private feelings of doubt snowballed.
Doubt is often misunderstood. It’s not the same as just having questions. Sometimes we have genuine intellectual questions raised by our studies that we want answering. If that’s the case then we can often find good answers to those questions in the work of solid evangelical scholars who can point out, for example, the flaws in the arguments that raise the questions, or the faulty assumptions such questions might be based on.

Often we have questions and often we can find answers to them. Of the ones we can't find an answer to, much of the time we just live with them because we don't find them particularly troubling. However, what can sometimes happen is that such an unanswered question gets attached to a general feeling of unease or unsettledness. We no longer then just have an intellectual question, instead our uncertainty about the question creates an existential problem for us. Instead of trusting God to have the answer we distrust him and we start to genuinely doubt. When this happens, what we often do, because we're all insecure, is we pretend the feelings and the questions aren't there and we bury them. So we ignore the questions. What can then happen in some cases is that the feeling of unease spreads and grows and instead of feeling uneasy about one issue we're feeling uneasy about ten questions
