In my opinion, if ones faith cannot stand up to reasonable questioning it is not much of a faith. Does that mean anyone with a solid faith will have all the answers to everything? Absolutely not . . . with the mysteries of faith, just as the physical mysteries of the universe around us, no one has all the answers. Some people are more knowledgeable than others, but no one has all the answers to everything.
However, as we study, learn, and explore we do find more and more of those answers.
As for me, I welcome questions (be it about religion or anything else) from anyone that really wants to learn. Sometimes I have the answers or can point the person in the right direction. Sometimes we need to do some research to try to find an answer. And sometimes there simply is no truly definitive answer, only logical guess and speculation that fit the known facts.
But if a person asks a question and truly wants to learn, I always want to try to help them find good solid answers. (I cannot always help and sometimes I make mistakes, but I always want to try to help when someone asks me a question.) |
