Absolutely NOT! God gave us all a mind and a heart with which to interpret the Bible. The Bible has been edited and revised throughout time as it has been translated into different languages from the original. I think it is important and my responsibility as a good Christian to question what the bible is telling me, how I can learn from it, and to further question what I don't understand or can't fit into my life.

A "good" Christian follows Christ and recognizes that all others make mistakes.
As the Bible was compiled, organized, translated, and transcribed, many errors entered the text. The existence of such errors becomes apparent when one considers the numerous and often conflicting translations of the Bible in existence today. Careful students of the Bible are often puzzled by apparent contradictions and omissions. Many people have also been curious about references by biblical prophets to books or scriptural passages that are not currently in the Bible.

1. There is no such thing as a "good" Christian. We are all sinners saved by grace.
2. Asking questions is a good way to learn more about the Bible.

Questioning is not only good, it is wanted.
The Apostles continually questioned Jesus.
He did not get upset, rather, he answered their questions ....calmly and respectfully.
The Bible book of Habakkuk opens with Habakkuk asking a series of questions.
Does God get upset?
No, He answers.
Did you ever read Acts 17:11?
Paul commends the Bereans because the "carefully examined" the scriptures.
He COMMENDED them!
