Why do Christians ask questions?

Question

If they had a personal relationship with god, wouldnt he answer all of their questions?

Answer 1

everyone needs advice

Answer 2

As a Christian, I do ask God questions. And many times others confirm the answer I receive. Or just let me see what the world has to say about the question or if they answer me as I think I heard from what God had to say.

God doesn't always answer right away a clear to understand answer. But God will answer somehow & sometimes it is through other answers on Yahoo.

Sometimes my question is to understand what others think the answer might be. Too often people in the family, or friends don't want to be bothered with the questions. I have a lot of questions & God has heard all my questions. I like to learn about other people & their understanding also, & I love it when others confirm what I am hearing from God as truth. Whether it is confirmed in the Pastors message or if other answer the same truth.

Answer 3

Maybe they ask questions because they are close to God. God isnt there to answer, God's there to help find answers. Being close to God doesnt mean a person cant ask questions. Christians, or people of any other faith, have the right to question, as much as people who dont believe they have a personal relationship with God.

Answer 4

Nope. Actually God probably likes it when we ask questions, because we're thinking about things. I know Atheists like to say Christians are mindless drones but as a whole, we aren't. We question and wonder and search just like everyone else. Just because someone come to different conclusions than you doesn't make them brainwashed or mentally ill or anything else.

Answer 5

I can't believe you actually are writing this for people to see. LOL Do Christians have the right to ask questions in school about Math? or should God answer those too?

Answer 6

BECAUSE WE DON' T HAVE ALL THE ANSWERS. Thats just the honest truth. And if we had all the answers then we wouldn't need god. Haven't you heard of unanswered prayers, it's a truth, but also a song. God doesn't give you all the answers. You have to remain faithfull to him. Faith is the foundation of christianity

Answer 7

For them to ask for answers, that's not what god wants. He wants you to have faith! Their is so much around us, it points to a creator. Just open your eyes up in the morning, ask god to open your mind. You will get grace from that, from grace comes faith. All you have to do is ask. You will be amazed on how much your understanding will take you. Just believe and ask for the grace from the hols spirit. Most of your questions are answered with faith! First you need the grace.

Answer 8

Just because people are christians doesn't mean they don't have questions. God had his own way of answering them and sometimes he may not answer them at all - that's his decision.

Answer 9

God's not as simple as humans are. He doesn't always tell you what you wanna know, and if He does, it's unlikely it's 'right-here, right-now'.

some people see visions. some people get the answer through revelation of the Word (and the word is long). some people hear Him. God is sovereign and not bound to our methods or timing. I think He does it a lot of times to help us develop patience

Answer 10

They ask others to confirm what they believe because deep down inside they are afraid of the truth. It is this fear that enables them to believe fervently in God and it is this fear that drives them use religion as a crutch to hold them up off of a godless earth. They are afraid of being alone and meaning nothing, and so, understandably, they cannot help from whimpering, "I am right, right? I'm not alone on this one, am I?"

Answer 11

Good question. I don't ask questions. I'm too busy standing up for God and Christianity against people who mock Him, insult us, are rude, or just to try to help those who can't help themselves.
