Do you believe that if one has never questioned their religion, they don't really understant or believe it?

Question

I mean, think about it.
If someone never questioned the errors in the Bible would you believe that they are really comprehending it?
Or any religion for that matter. If you don't acknowledge its mistakes can yu really claim that you understand it?

ok, apparently i should have been more specific with my question. I ment questioning like "Why this. How can i really believe this. This dosent make sense, so how can it be true." etc...

Answer 1

Buddhists are encouraged to question everything that is presented to them (even by Buddha himself). To use that which they find useful and to discard that which is harmful. We are also told to search for truths in other beliefs and religions. That is why I trust Buddhism much more than a religion that claims their way is the only true way and should never be questioned.
I did question my Catholic faith from an early age, that's how I ended up here.

Answer 2

I questioned the bible and God's authority for many years before I actually came to read and understand it. Now I see the fallacy of much of what I had believed before and understand the truth of His Word. He created me and allowed me to seek truth outside of him so that when I finally found it, I would know that it was so. He chose me from the beginning. My previous disbelief makes my current belief stronger because each argument against has already been countered. True faith in the Father, Son, and Spirit is historical and logical, not emotional. Seek it and you will find the same.

Answer 3

you're assuming the Bible has mistakes. It's given for teaching, reproof, ect. It's a lot of metaphors but the principles stay the same throughout the cultures it historically has recorded. Read it and ask what are the contstants. Look at what it's trying to say instead of every tiny detail that it lets us know that carnal minds cannot understand spiritual things. There are some things a person won't "get" until they they are born of the Spirit.

Answer 4

Absolutely.
If a person does not question their religion, they will never understand it. But they should strive to completely understand it. It is useless, for example, to abandon your religion simply because some mouth-breather named Bubba told you that the Bible was written by God.

Answer 5

The truth of the Bible is indeed inerrant but in order for one to know this he would have to study Gods truth and received God's revelation. It is much easier to not believe and not seek the truth. I am more than willing to clarify so many errors of people who accept others ideas of contradictions. and mistakes. God can use his word to reveal great truths to show those who love and seek his truth. Many will reject the word of God and believe a lie rather than seek the truth.

Answer 6

That one has a lukewarm heart- neither hot nor cold. On one hand, there are no errors in the Bible but only the limitations of the intellect of men. It is so as the Bible deeper meanings can only be understood by an innocent like-child heart. The true knowledge of the Bible is not given to the wise and the intellectuals.

Answer 7

I think that if someone doesn't learn all options in detail before they make a decision then they are basically just their religion because it's easiest.

Answer 8

You mean like the robot Mormons? a scary group

Answer 9

There are leaders and there are followers - there are those who blindly trust, and those who question everything. I doubt it is wise to judge any of them as right or wrong, OR to assume they don't have faith or intelligence.

Answer 10

If you don't question something and try to find reason and logic for it, you are being biased in favor of that point-of-view. If one does question their own faith, then they are following it blindly.
