Is it okay to be a believer and still have many questions about why God does things the way he does?

Answer 1

I think you should ask it as, is it okay to be a believer and still have questions about why PEOPLE do the things they do. I'm not sure which religion you believe in but there aren't that many which state that God controls peoples actions.

But yes, its ok.

Answer 2

Yes. all the time. I have really been struggling with that the last couple days. I am trying to get medical help and nobody will help me. I have ?ed God as to why we have all the hospitals, doctors, med. technology but because I don't have "money resources" I can't get help. Maybe there is a reason but I sure wish God would let me know what it is. It's hard to believe we live in America and can't get what we really need..medical or otherwise.

Answer 3

YES!!! In fact, it's encouraged for you to do so...this shows that you are humble and are willing to find out the "true accurate' knowledge of God. Keep asking and seeking and you will find said Jesus. JW's encourage you to keep asking and we are happy to give you the answers from the bible to help you to understand and to gain further wisdom in doing what God's will is. More is required than to just believe in God.

Answer 4

Of course, if someone says they don't ever have questions, then they are lying. It is human nature to doubt and question. Additionally, matters of faith are not always the easiet to understand. Much of the time we confuse things that happen with actions of God, when in fact it is just the acts of man, because God allows for men to act as they choose.

Answer 5

Ask away. As long as you believe in God- in time you will grow to accept what God has given to you in your life- to thank Him for the things you have and to even thank him for your trials because they lead to learning, and are there for a reason, no matter how big the loss or how badly it pained you.

Answer 6

I found out that it is God's desire that you do ask questions. Asking questions helps you eliminate all the bad answers and wrong answer. In addition, asking questions sets you in a position to seek God for yourself and not just depend on what people say. I was at a church that taught alot of bad doctrine. In my heart for some reason I knew it was wrong, but I went along with it anyway. Later, God himself began to unfold more truth to me. It taught me how to compare what I was being taught by God by what I was being taught in that particular church.

Answer 7

Of course...There are a lot of things that we just DO NOT understand! There's nothing wrong with that. We just have to trust that whatever God is doing in our life, He's doing it for a reason we just can't see yet!

Answer 8

If you believe in Jesus as God, as your sacrifice for sin and trust Him to do what He said that he would do, you can question God all day on why He did things like He did.... Jim

Answer 9

Absolutely! If you knew everything about why and how God does things would you still be compelled to believe?

Answer 10

well since
God=cutoff
He has a right to hate you till death, i give Him this right even when threatened with death but My city is to full of wimps to kill Me even though i pissed in their water. i did this because Piss is like blood and as a Lamb SLAIN=Lamb killed=Lamp= I AM bound by scripture to make them wash their clothes in the blood of the Lamb SLAIN who becomes the WINNER and Gets into a WAR. See the phonetic pronunciation of My name in WAR as /Ari TAD ie Larry TODD. now you really hate Me don't you? its OK to admit you hate God cause SATAN on Jesus have HIM surrounded and out numbered but biblically I AM and My Chosen chapters are biblically supposed to WIN. So Join Me LUKE I AM your Fatherr. I guess i support the chancellor also. but really based on bible scripture He should support Me. either that or i should make that verses about a Movie Jesus and John and the con artist angel saw in heaven about Me playing an emperor in a movie. Ie its all a joke this bible. or like in the book "saved by the light" those people were viewing history on televisions and saw a movie i propose to make.
