Having questions is normal. You grow up with your parent's values, and now you must make them your own. Doubts and questions are a necessary part of making beliefs REAL. You can't live off of someone else's beliefs. Still, it is important to distinguish between honest questionings and outright rebellion. Is it true that you seek to know what is really true, or is it true that you want fun, freedom and your own life without rules like everybody else? Just remember that all choices have consequences; either good or bad, or inconsequential or grave. Bad choices create opposite to the happiness you think a bad choice will give you. The Kansas college co-ed who entered the porn industry on the side, did not know the path she began to walk would ultimately lead to her demise. No she did not see that at all. Parents don't want to see their children suffer, and they have been around the block far more times than their children and know well what is good and what is bad. Don't let the questioning of values be a ruse to go the evil way. You would break the hearts of those who love you, and not do yourself any good either. Not a pleasant thing to come to the end of yourself. Sometimes that is needed. Sometimes that is the only way. But how do we know that it will always end in redemption? It didn't for the Kansas girl.

people say this is god's will and then turn around and say I can't speak for god cause he's over our heads... what ?
I suggest you study the history of ethics and law both secular and religious .then apply reasonable logic . one does not need a god to arrive at a moral life. Morality is of the highet importance for humanity ,not for god. a paraphrase of Albert Einsteins wisdom .. think about it .the golden rule originated in china long before Christ and has been the center of thought in morality ever since . I like to start with the premise of honor: that which further life is good and that which goes against life is evil. obvious postulates are the basis of truth but on a higher level virtue and happiness over absolute truth is even better . here's a quote i'd like leave you with:
Whoever undertakes to set himself up as a judge of Truth and Knowledge is shipwrecked by the laughter of the gods.
Albert Einstein

If you are a believer, praying for God's guidance and enlightenment can help you find the truth. And by faith in the Word of God and of God, you will find the answers to your questions. Look inside your heart and listen carefully.

Sure, you can question God's word. Just like everything else. You can question the existance of God. You can question whether or not you're actually alive or the figment of someone else's imagination. BUT, what you have to get is FACTS. And there are facts.
FACTS I HAVE LEARNED
1. There is something that intelligently designed Earth
2. I believe this being is God (what I believe is my own fact)
3. If God is real, I should read His word and do what He says. I read the Bible completely and found much wisdom and scientifically accurate and historically accurate information. I believe the Bible is Truth.

The day we stop asking questions is the day we become like animals - not having the ability to think and reason which sets apart from the rest of the species. Without questions we would have never gotten to where we are today.
We innately know truth but we always question it and ourselves.

But you can, can you? Just like you do with any other truth. Or not? No, I don't think people question everything they see on the TV for example as much as they question The Bible.

Why can't you question God's word? Our pastor preaches that we are to question everything, study everything, accept no "man's" interpretation without question including his teachings.
