why do some question the Lord, if it's not biblical?

Question

Like question Him on why they made them this way, or why is life hard for them and not others. Why do people do this if it's not biblical?


Romans 9:18-21 (New King James Version)
18 Therefore He has mercy on whom He wills, and whom He wills He hardens.
19 You will say to me then, “Why does He still find fault? For who has resisted His will?” 20 But indeed, O man, who are you to reply against God? Will the thing formed say to him who formed it, “Why have you made me like this?” 21 Does not the potter have power over the clay, from the same lump to make one vessel for honor and another for dishonor?

Answer 1

There is a big difference between replying for him and against him, seeking and demanding, if there are no questions there is no journey, if you do not build there is no building, to question or questioning, if it is said, be wise like the serpent? To look is to seek, to seek is to question, Jesus said ask of me anything, if you do not demand it is a request, question begins with quest! It is our account we place in heaven, our account, how many things were asked of Jesus by the deciples? How many things were asked by others of Jesus? This is the deal, if you ask, you best follow through with the response! Be careful what you ask.

Answer 2

The fact is, it is incorrect to say that it is not biblical to question God. As one of the previous answers said, there's a difference between asking a question and accusing God. The other aspect is that there is a difference between asking God questions with a sincere heart seeking an honest answer and a cynical heart seeking to deride God.



There are many instances in the Bible where God allows individuals to ask Him questions or where He asks them to reason with Him.



“ Present your case,” says the LORD. “ Bring forth your strong reasons,” says the King of Jacob.

Isaiah 41:20-22



"Come now, let us reason together," says the LORD. "Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool.

Isaiah 1:17-19



Genesis 32:39

Jacob said, "Please tell me your name."

But he replied, "Why do you ask my name?" Then he blessed him there.



Exodus 3:11 - 14



11 But Moses said to God, "Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?"



12 And God said, "I will be with you. And this will be the sign to you that it is I who have sent you: When you have brought the people out of Egypt, you [a] will worship God on this mountain."



13 Moses said to God, "Suppose I go to the Israelites and say to them, 'The God of your fathers has sent me to you,' and they ask me, 'What is his name?' Then what shall I tell them?"



14 God said to Moses, "I am who I am . [b] This is what you are to say to the Israelites: 'I AM has sent me to you.' "



As you can see in all these instances, individuals asked God questions and they got answers.



Many people out there would rather see God as some tyrant who does not care and who does not tolerate any form of thought in His children. That is unfortunately not so. The real truth is, God sees beyond the spoken statements or "questions" into the thoughts behind them. He deals with the individual on the basis of those thoughts.



Hebrews 4:12

For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.



I hope this answers your question.

Answer 3

Like the pot, calling the Potter wrong?



God allows us to question, the problem comes in when it's not really a question but an accusation.

Answer 4

Because biblical or not, we are humans capable of reasoning. If we are to believe in God than He should accept that we are using what He gave us to question. (our senses and logic). To be judged as offenders by using something "given" to us is not a very godly gesture.

Answer 5

abraham questioned God. he was FAR more Biblical than paul ever will be. why quote paul? especially romans 9?

Answer 6

Because humans can reason god can't because he does not exist and you have no evidence to prove his existence.

Answer 7

They try to hold God accountable instead of themselves......

Answer 8

Saddam Hussein didn't allow Iraqis to question his authority either... He called it "un-Iraqi".

Answer 9

no offense, but not everyone believes they have to live by the bible. many of us can live decent lives without it.

Answer 10

Because they don't know what is biblical and what isn't.

Answer 11

they dont understand His ways or thoughts...
