Did you know that it is okay to question God?
Perhaps the dumbest thing Christians ever do is to assume that what they were taught about the Scripture, is Scripture…
We seem incapable of even questioning the assumptions and presuppositions upon which our beliefs are constructed. Every denomination and group within the Christian Church has “Special Doctrines” and Super Truths, those questionable doctrines they will tell you that represent a truth misunderstood by all of the Christians in the whole world, except, of course, their group… These are the things that make a Methodist fear to enter a Baptist Church and terrifies Baptists when they even think about Pentecostal churches…
More than that, it makes it impossible for many Christians to question or challenge the eschatology they were taught back in 1968…
Let me give you a hint… If your church or denomination is the only group in the world that believes something… You absolutely, positively, must question it… The reason nobody else believes it is because it is questionable!
On the End Times and Eschatology, I, like many of you, learned all about it a very long time ago. My teachers believed what they were teaching, and I believed my teachers…
Most of it was wrong… very, very wrong!
I wrote a book called “Allah’s Jesus”. It is still for sale on Amazon. I do not believe a word of it now. Someone pointed out to me that in the Bible, the Antichrist deceives Jews, Christians, the State of Israel and his deception threatens even the Elect of God… Suddenly, it dawned on me that no Muslim could ever accomplish that!
I believed, strongly, in a PreTrib rapture… Then, someone challenged me to prove it with Scripture… I was totally confused and stressed for weeks, as I tried to prove it. After a while, I came to understand that while belief in a pretrib rapture calmed my fears and made me happy, it simply was not Biblical.
C. S. Lewis was a sceptic. He was a PhD, and a full professor at Oxford University. He was saved and brought to full faith in Jesus when he started to write a book disproving the resurrection of Jesus… His Questions found solid answers… He proved, beyond a reasonable doubt, that Jesus did indeed rise from the dead…
It is Okay… It is necessary to question everything… If it is real, you will find that it is real. If it is wrong, you will find out why it is wrong.
If you love truth… you will ask questions!
David…
