Many, many questions September 22, 2018
Recently, when I was in India training pastors, I had a young man come to me and quiz me on theology. He must have asked at least several hundred questions. They were on all the controversial items from politics to end times and biblical interpretation. He clearly had a more narrow view and also seemed to be testing me out. In Christiendom, we do not always know what to do with questions and doubts. We do not know how to say ‘I don’t know’ and often feel tempted to provide the ‘right’ answer for the individual to whom we are speaking. This is a great danger. Questions and doubts are healthy. Theology is a journey. We will never have it perfectly right, but the pursuit of God and the dialogue is a great and humbling joy.
