I'm a big believer in asking questions—even hard and daunting questions—in our spiritual journeys. Far too often in Christian circles there is an attitude of "we will tell you what to believe and it can't be questioned and if you do question it we will shun you".
I think it just makes sense that if God is truly an infinite being there will be a lot of things we just can't understand. And if we are truly the limited and imperfect beings the bible says we are, we will get things wrong sometimes!
Because of that, I think that asking questions should just be a normal and expected part of faith.
I know the thought of question-asking makes some people nervous. They fear that once you start questioning things you won't be able to stop, your whole faith will unravel, and you'll end up an atheist. And honestly, it can't be denied that that has happened to certain people. But it doesn't have to!
In a minute I'll share a few practical tips for how to ask questions and seek answers wisely, but just as a general principle I think we need to allow ourselves to rest in the fact that God is big enough to handle even our toughest questions! If he is actually true and real (and I believe he is), then any person who sincerely, humbly, and diligently follows the evidence wherever it leads will find their way to God and his truth.
Having said that, there are good ways and there are not-as-good ways of pursuing truth. Here's some tips I would give for asking questions and seeking answers as someone who follows Jesus:
Stay grounded in the historical Jesus as described in Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John in the bible. Like, actually read them and get familiar with them. Whatever other books you read or podcasts you listen to, their ideas need to line up with the life and teachings of the biblical Jesus.
Treat the Apostles' Creed as your "guardrails". Even if you aren't typically familiar or comfortable with creeds, this one is too helpful to ignore. Mainstream Christianity everywhere and always has affirmed each line of the creed (with the possible exception of the "Jesus descending into hell" line). When an idea strays outside of the guardrails of the Apostles' Creed, that is a red flag that the idea is probably outside the bounds of the way of Jesus. But anything inside the Apostles' Creed guardrails is arguably "fair game".
Stay in dialogue with followers of Jesus that are wise, kind, and display the fruit of the Spirit. The path of asking serious faith questions can sometimes feel lonely, but it should never be done truly alone. I know this is much easier said than done, and it raises a host of follow-up questions (such as "who or what determines if a person is wise?"), so it might have to be done through some trial-and-error. But "two heads are better than one," others can provide ideas and guidance, and the bible describes the spiritual journey as one we do in a community.
Do it all prayerfully. God rewards those who earnestly seek him (Hebrews 11:6) and promises that those who seek shall find (Luke 11:9). It's not all up to you to figure it out by yourself. God wants you to find the truth even more than you do, so ask for his help! Prayer won't assure that you necessarily find 100% of the answers you seek, but it will help, and it will lead to a growing relationship with God. And ultimately it's a relationship with God, not theological answers, that our soul most needs and craves.
Asking question about the things we do or believe can alert us to the ways that we have missed the mark and inspire a course-correction. Asking questions allows us to get a better grasp of why we believe the things we believe, and to build a stronger foundation for our beliefs.
Exposing ourselves to a variety of ideas and thinkers provides us with fresh ways of thinking about things, and can sharpen our beliefs as "iron sharpens iron". We can always "chew the meat and spit out the bones" (i.e. take what is helpful and leave behind what is not).
All of this is why I feel quite free to share resources on this website from a variety of thinkers, traditions, and perspectives, regardless of whether I entirely agree with them or not. I know that my faith has grown tremendously through the exploration of various spiritual ideas, and I hope the same happens to you!
