In Praise of Difficult Questions
Written by:
January 29, 2021
In a denomination like ours that puts a premium on firmly believing a lengthy list of biblical truths, posing difficult questions can be unwelcome. Harboring spiritual doubts can be frowned upon. Openly expressing skepticism can lead to marginalization. But wrestling with challenging questions is a vital component of a robust Christian experience.
Jesus questioned the teachings of the Pharisees and the Sadducees which opened His mind to a counter-kingdom of humility and love.
Peter questioned the privileged, exclusive attitude of his Jewish culture which led to treating Gentiles like family.
The apostle Paul eventually questioned much of what he had been taught at the prestigious Seminary in Jerusalem which freed him to become the world champion of grace.
