It's good to question every aspect of your life including your beliefs.

While questioning your faith certainly isn't a good thing, it's also not a bad thing. God wants us to question Him. If you question your faith, pray over it. Ask Him to strengthen you spiritually. Tell Him you want to know Him and ask Him to open the doors that will allow you to do that. Oh, and read the Bible first thing each morning. Make God first in everything you do.

Of COURSE it is a good thing unless.....
1. You LIKE being spoonfed and told what to do and hate to think for yourself
2. You are in a cult that is fearful of ANY kind of questioning.
How am I supposed to distinguish between good and bad if I do not use my God-given intelliegence. How would you even KNOW if what is professed to BE good actually is so?
Proverbs 4:7 "Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding."
Proverbs 14:14 "The simple believeth every word."
'Simple' here means foolish.
"Let every man be fully persuaded in his OWN mind." Romans 14:5
So go ahead and question and ignore those who try to tell you not to.

Questions are what bring answers... answering questions with your heart increases faith.
It's a good thing if you don't let a question you can't answer yet control you.

Probably the most intelligent thing you will ever do. To follow someone or something blindly can only mean the downgrading of your IQ.
Ask questions throughout your life. Seek answers. To blindly follow a religion is pure stupidity.

It is a good thing. It shows intelligence and will help one mature in their faith. Those who sheepishly follow their faith are unable to defend it when it matters most!

a faith unquestioned is a very, very bad thing.
Likewise, a faith that can't stand up to careful scrutiny or critical thought is not a good faith.

Questioning your faith, doctrines, dogma or even lack of belief is good. If you don't question what you think you know you will not ever know the truth when you see it.

the way i see it, if you don't question your faith, how do you know what you really believe. It's one thing to go along w/ the crowd or how you were raised, but it's good to explore and see if it is really what you believe, and to discover WHY you believe what you believe

Questioning the things you believe, can be a good thing, questioning God and salvation is a bad thing (sin).

As someone once said, the only stupid question is the one you don't ask.
Yes, questioning your faith is always good.
For me, great questions lead to even greater faith.
