Bible Question: A friend was told that the Bible and the message of the Bible must be accepted with unquestioning faith, and that it is wrong to question it. Does anyone have any biblical references that will help an unbeliever to understand this issue? This individual is asking questions to attempt to understand and decide whether he can believe the Bible and the message of Christ. He is being told that he is wrong to ask questions. How would you advise this man? |
Bible Answer: As Azure has alluded to it depends on your friend's friend's motive. Perhaps the person asked a question he couldn't answer. That is an easy way for one to get out of serious bible study. I have heard other people say the same thing but I believe questions are healthy and a way for belivers to share their faith. Tell him to ask away but he will have to find someone willing to answer him. An example might be the story of the Ethiopian Eunuch. Blessings, Val |
