Very interesting Kyle - feelings might reveal a false faith. I think this is only possible if one first possesses faith to begin with, but certainly possible for those who do. I love Peter Kreeft.

If, for example, someone feels guilt and remorse after acting from what is thought to be a divine command, it may be that the command is a command to do evil originating from a human authority and not a command from God. Feelings might help reveal a false faith. So what is one to do when faced with something that is supposedly divinely revealed but contradicts one’s feelings, perhaps strong feelings?
