No...don't you think our Abba wants to hear our questions? :applause:

It would probably be a good idea to be respectful about it.

Do you think you can hide your questions from Him? :-)

I'm not sure it's about questioning God....it's more about questioning what I think God is doing/what I think God is/what I think is the truth. Because really...the more I search into truth, and the more I find...the less I doubt/question God. He is perfect, and He does have everyone's best interest in mind above everything else.

Mark said:

I got 2 questions;

Really? What verse tells you that?

Define "best interest"?



The Bible says He has His own glory in mind above everthing else. And we will be apart of that glory. We'll either glorify Him with worship and praises through out eternity or with the smoke of our torment.







I do agree with ya on that the more I study the Bible and learn about Him the less I question God.

Maybe, but He has glory because He has everyone's best interest in mind. Like His 10 commandments for example. The first 4 are to let us know who is boss so we'll obey Him, and the last six are what He wants us to do. But it's all for our happiness and protection, not to make Him proud of Himself. If we disobey God, it means we don't love Him and we will end up destroying ourselves and hurting everyone around us like Satan did. Anyway...I know you have some different views about this kind of stuff. I'm out.

Pretty well Said Mark, always remember views and opinions do not honor God, but agreeing with according to his word honors him.



He desires the best for every man and woman ever born into the earth.

Hello everyone:

There are Saints in Scripture which questioned YHWH.



Jer 1:6 Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! behold, I cannot speak: for I am a child.





Jonah 1:3 But Jonah rose up to flee unto Tarshish from the presence of the LORD, and went down to Joppa; and he found a ship going to Tarshish: so he paid the fare thereof, and went down into it, to go with them unto Tarshish from the presence of the LORD.





Act 9:10 And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and to him said the Lord in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I am here, Lord.

Act 9:11 And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the street which is called Straight, and enquire in the house of Judas for one called Saul, of Tarsus: for, behold, he prayeth,

Act 9:12 And hath seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in, and putting his hand on him, that he might receive his sight.

Act 9:13 Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem:

Act 9:14 And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that call on thy name.

Act 9:15 But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel:

Act 9:16 For I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my name's sake.

Act 9:17 And Ananias went his way,





The Lord does not treat us with contempt when we question,He reveals Himself and treats us as sons.



George

The big and the small, the easy and the hard...for in doing so, you show faith that He is the source of all answers.

Wow, I never thought this would create such a heated debate. I wanted to wait for other answers before I gave mine. I don't think we should question God because he is the absolute truth. We shouldn't just believe what people say about God, but question what others say to build a solid foundation in our life of who and what God is. I called this the Berean Challenge. :peace::peace:
