Does God mind when you question him?

Answer 1

He made us. He expects it.

Answer 2

Yes and No. The purpose of your question can give us an idea of how God feels. For one, we do not know God's mind except through His revealed word (the Bible).
According to God, he is ready to answer all your questions. But we must not be like fools to ask God some questions about genealogies... The bible teaches that we ourselfs should stay away from such. e.g. questions like " God, who made you?, God, where did cain find a wife from?, God, why did you create the devil"
Funny though, God will patiently give answers to your question if it is from a geniune heart of one lacking knowledge. But I'm sure God will definitely mind if these kind of question is from an old child of God, a deacon, an elder, who should be teaching others.

Answer 3

Ask God. That is an answer that is between you and God and for nobody else. It is a source of grteat shame for me as a Christian to see other Christians letting you know what its all about. They do not. Not if they read the bible noty if they understand that this sort of quetion is highly personal and private.

Now, what about your answer? That is also between you and God. Others may say, hey, your answer will be etc etc etc. No, they do not know either and itys at best arrogant speculation to say oh yeah man, a chili burrito will fall out of the sky while the Beatles get back together in your basement. Ask God and good luck in your quest.

Answer 4

I really don't think so because we all do it.

All of us have "why God" questions. Hopefully God will have a "questions asked most often" page where we can go before we ask the many other questions that we have.

Some believe when we are out of the flesh and in our spirit bodies that our soul or intellect will be at full capacity and many of the question we already know the answer to.

Answer 5

Not up to a point, but then (traditionally in the Book) he gets a bit fed up after a while. It's like answering the questions of a two-year old who you love deeply. You try to do your best for a certain amount of time, but ultimately, when the answers get too complicated for them to understand, you just have to give in and say "Because I say so!"

Why is water wet? Because it's made up of tiny little water molecules and they're all held together loosely and so it feels sll slippery-slidey compared to solid things like your hand, and that slippery-slidiness is what we're feeling when we feel something is wet.

Why is the sky blue? Because it's like a big invisible mirror and because the world is round, so it's reflecting the colour of the sea all around us.

So, you created the Universe, right? But then, how can you have existed to create the universe in the first place, if there was no universe for you to exist in?
Because I say so! Go to your room, you're in time out, and if you don't watch it, there'll be a flood before suppertime, alright?!

Answer 6

No. God does not mind when we question him. He considers us his children.

He does expect us to grow. If we have the same questions all the time, that means we are not growing. A lot of our answers are found indirectly in the Bible....

Like: Is God really in control over the good as well as the bad? Yes. He allows bad things to happen. He could stop them from happening if He wanted to...and someday he will.

That is the toughest answer I had to come to terms with.

Answer 7

No. If you're going to have any real faith, you must doubt it and question it, and hold it up, and scrutinise it, and test it, and see what you think about it. If it's real and true, then it will stand upto your doubts right? And if it's false, then you'll surely want to know.

It's why there are so many thousands of Bible colleges, study centres, PhD programmes and professors etc., all studying Christianity and God - they want to probe it and question it and see if it will hold water.

At the end of the day, we're human and God created us and knows us. When we ask God if he exists, or why does he let things happen or whatever, it shows that we are being honest with ourselves and living authentically. It's better to grapple with faith than to just blindly accept it as if it were some fashion accessory or tradition.

Answer 8

The God Loves us more than any one, more than a mother loves her child. Does a mother mind if a child question the mom?

I don't think so.

The answer to all the questions is inside this Love system. If a son/daughter does bad things, his/her parents are angry because they love their children. They want everything good in the lives of their children. Similary, when we say we make The God Angry, it means we are doing something wrong with ourselves and as The God Loves us, He might be angry.

Answer 9

I had a friend who once said that 'if God gave us free will and free thought, certainly one of the things that He wanted was to question Him.' I appreciate the logic of this. I imagine that a god would prefer people to approach him through rational consideration as opposed to blind acceptance.

In fact, I would go so far as to say that a person who has questioned God's existence, words, motives and style of worship and, after that process, come to the conclusion that he/she accepts and believes in God is more of a believer than someone who has merely never asked the question.

In our own lives, we obsessively question the ones we love. It's people who we don't care about who we won't wonder about.

Answer 10

Let me answer this question with a question of my own. If you never ask questions, how will you find answers? If anyone ever says, "Don't question what you non't understand," then tell yourself that that's why you ask in the first place, to understand. God wants us to understand Him, so yes, I belive that you can ask God questions.

Answer 11

I have found out by experience God is big enough to be questioned but we need to be willing to listen as communication is a two way street.
