It’s Okay To Question Things
Questioning God and the teachings of the Bible is a natural part of the human experience. The complexities woven throughout Scripture are profound, layered with historical, cultural, and spiritual nuances that challenge even the most devoted believers. This process of inquiry is not a sign of weak faith but rather a reflection of our desire to understand the divine more deeply.
The Bible presents narratives filled with paradoxes, moral dilemmas, and spiritual truths that stretch the boundaries of human comprehension. Stories of miracles, divine justice, grace, and prophecy can leave us grappling with questions about God’s nature and His plan for humanity. This tension invites us to engage more fully with Scripture, wrestling with its meanings, and seeking wisdom through prayer, study, and community.
For believers, faith acts as a bridge between what we understand and what remains mysterious. The Apostle Paul acknowledges this in 1 Corinthians 13:12, "For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face." This verse highlights that our current understanding is partial and incomplete. However, this does not diminish the value of seeking, questioning, and exploring our faith.
Conversely, Scripture also teaches that a full understanding of divine truths is not accessible without faith. In 1 Corinthians 2:14, Paul writes, "The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit." This underscores that spiritual discernment is a gift granted through belief and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.
In conclusion, questioning God and the Bible is part of an authentic faith journey. It reflects a sincere pursuit of truth and a deeper relationship with God. While unbelievers may find the Scriptures perplexing or inaccessible, those who seek with faith often find that their questions lead to greater insight, spiritual growth, and a more profound connection with the divine.
