“Nicodemus…said unto him, How can these things be? Jesus answered and said unto him…” Socrates said, “An unexplained life is not worth living.” God doesn’t mind if you put Christianity under a microscope. That is, as long as we’re willing to lay aside our preconceived ideas. As C.S. Lewis said, “In coming to understand anything, we must reject the facts as they are for us, in favor of the facts as they are.” Many come to God for His agreement, rather than His answers.
The book of Job records over four hundred questions. It is perfectly legitimate and Scriptural to ask God a question…but not to question God. These are two entirely different things. I personally, question unquestioning people. Those who say we are to simply have faith and not question, live in a dunce’s dungeon. God’s order is fact, faith, and feeling. It is, therefore, proper and right to investigate the facts before stepping out by faith.
Biblical faith is built on historical fact.
