What would god expect, unquestioned faith or questioned faith?

Question

Does God want us to have an unquestioned faith and obidience or does he want for us to search for wisdom and understanding to prove or disprove our faith?

If he does then can we do so in organised religion or if not then why would he create us with curiosity if we are not to use it?

Serious answers only please. I thank you in advance for your insight.

Answer 1

Unquestioned faith and obedience after throughout investigation of truth. Nobody knows how to question his Lord, but he can question himself to understand the Will of God.
Yes, before entering into the divine embrace, man must not believe anyone else. He must question himself, people, things, until his attainment of truth about the One True God, the Ceeator and Sustainer of all worlds.
Doubtfulness, heedlessness, laziness...only lead to ignorance and spiritual death. In the past the investigation of truth was reserved for the minority of leaders, now it is the duty of all individuals among the mature hunanity.

Answer 2

the theory of "faith" potential not asking questions. the two Christianity and Islam can purely stay to tell the tale as long as their followers have self assurance and have faith what they are informed. The exciting element is that it is not God who has commanded this of them yet mere adult men who declare to signify God. And merely what number diverse cults (that's what they are) of Christianity (enormously interior the U. S.) and Islam are there all with their very own variations of this? think of roughly it.... in case you prefer to think of of God as a guy or woman, an excellent being then did He/She/it provide you an intelligence and rational strategies so as which you will merely blindly swallow the guff some con artists in gowns throw at you? you will never discover the certainty in case you do not seek for it and ask questions. apparently Christianity and Islam the two warn against people who could question their teachings.

Answer 3

Islam is the only religion/faith ..in which God (Allah swt) want for us to search for wisdom and undrestanding to prove or disprove our faith.

If you are a logical and intelligent person then u must think and use your own brain and try to find out the truth.

It is very interesting attitude that exists in the Qur'an repeatedly deals with its advice to the reader. The Allah (swt) informs the reader about different facts and then gives the advice: "If you want to know more about this or that, or if you doubt what is said, then you should ask those who have knowledge." This too is a surprising attitude.

It is not usual to have a book that comes from someone without training in geography, botany, biology, embryology etc., who discusses these subjects and then advises the reader to ask men of knowledge if he doubts anything.

as far as the Qur’an is concerned, irrespective whether a person uses a conflicting approach, or a concordance approach – As long as you are logical, and after a logical explanation is given, not a single person will be able to prove a single Verse of the Qur’an in conflict with established modern science.

For example the Astronomers, a few decades earlier, they described, how the universe came into existence - They call it the ‘Big Bang’.

And they said… ‘Initially there was one primary nebula, which later on it separated with a Big Bang, which gave rise to Galaxies, Stars, Sun and the Earth, we live in.’

This information is given in a nutshell in the Glorious Qur’an, in Surah Ambiya, Ch. 21, Verse No. 30, which says “Do not the unbelievers see… ‘That the heavens and the earth were joined together, and we clove them asunder.’

Imagine this information which we came to know recently, the Qur’an mentions 14 hundred years ago.

any book to claim that it is a Revelation from Almighty God, it should stand the test of time.

Previously in the olden days, it was the age of miracles - Alhamdulillah, the Qur’an is the miracle of miracles.

Later on came the age of literature and poetry, and Muslims and Non Muslims alike, they claim the Glorious Qur’an to be the best Arabic literature available on the face of the Earth.

But today is the age of science and technology. Read Holy Qur’an and let analyze by your ownselves whether the Qur’an is compatible or incompatible with modern science.

But today is the age of science and technology. Read Holy Qur’an and let analyze by your ownselves whether the Qur’an is compatible or incompatible with modern science.

Albert Einstein said… ‘Science without Religion is lame, and Religion without Science is blind’. Let me remind you that although the Glorious Qur’an is not a book of Science…S-C-I-E-N-C-E, It is a book of signs S-I-G-N-S…

There are 6666 Ayats (Arabic word) which means signs … Ayats in the Glorious Qur’an out of which more than a thousand speak about science.

I am not speaking about scientific hypothesis and theories, which are based on assumption without any proof, because we all know many times science takes U-turns.

there are two types of approaches, one is a concordance approach - which means a person tries to bring compatibility between the Scripture and science

Answer 4

Questioned Faith, because I believe that God's reason for us being here is to find God through our lives and experiences. Everybody finds God in different views, concepts, and belief.

Answer 5

God accepts three kinds of people:

1) Flawed
2) Seriously flawed
3) Screwed up beyond belief (this is where the miracles take place)

Faith is his gift to you. There's nothing you can do to adjust it and make it worthless.

Answer 6

God's wisdom...i think He doesn't expect ... like there is a correct way of approaching faith.
But i believe that what is pleasing to him is a humble heart that acknowledges that we can do 'nothing' without His love.

Answer 7

Unconditional love is what God expects,

because He gave it to us when He unconditionally gave Christ for us on the cross.


Asking questions is a good thing, no one should be a blind follower. No one should be a sheep thats baaaa d.

Answer 8

Questioned faith, of course. That's why He gave us so much proof. He even sent His son to pay our penalties and many still do not believe.
I'm not sure I understand your question regarding organized religion, could you restate it?

Answer 9

Proverbs 3:5-7 says, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart; and lean not unto your own understanding, In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths. Be not wise in your own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil." We are to trust God in every way. That's what faith is all about. Without faith, you can't trust that God is Who He says He is, and is able to carry out His plan in your life. It's normal to question things we don't understand. That's why it's important to find a few mature believers to help you with your questions, guiding you to the places in God's Word that will help you understand God's ways. Matthew 7:7-8 says, "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asks receives; and he that seeks finds; and to him that knocks it shall be opened." God wants us to ask & seek. He alone knows if we are truly seeking His answers or are just trying to be a smarty pants. And He answers us in many ways. Mostly through the reading of His Word. But also through circumstances, people and just by being patient & waiting for His timing. God doesn't contradict Himself. The faith that He's given you cannot be disproved, no matter who or what says that it can. God doesn't change...man does. God doesn't move...man does. Man always looks for a short-cut. God cuts through to the heart of the matter, and exposes everything. Many people have found joy in serving God through organized religion. Many others have found joy in serving God through finding their God-given talents & gifts and minister to others in various capacities. Yes, God has created us with curiosity, and wants us to stretch ourselves. But, He wants us to use that curiosity constructively, focused on knowing & serving Him. Get to know Him better by reading His Word. Find a few mature Christians who seem to have a close relationship with God, and allow them to help you find the answers to your questions. But, make sure they're getting their answers from God's Word, and not based on what their church by-laws reads. It's not "God plus something else". It's about God, and God alone...nothing added. Adding more to what God has prepared doesn't give you more. It gives you less...something I call "Lite religion". Less filling, and not great tasting either! I could go on more, but I tend to get long winded, and this is already getting really long. If you want to know more, please feel free to e-mail me, and I will write back. <*)))><

Answer 10

i think He'd rather want us to seek wisdom in order to prove our faith than follow blindly.
