Question God?

What are your thoughts on this? can we question God?

Nope……..

Romans 9:19-21 tells us this:

“But who are you o man to question God?”

We have no right to question the One who created us.

We have our doubts from time to time………because we are sinful human beings. It’s in our nature to doubt what we can’t physically see. But we also rely on faith & trust.

Question him?

We wouldn’t be human if we didn’t.

BUT:

We MUST realize that he IS GOD, and as such, ask him for understanding in any particular situation.

(James 1:5-to-8) But if any of you lacks wisdom, = = = let him ask of God,= = = who gives to all liberally and with no reproach, and it shall be given to him.

(Jam 1:6) But let him ask in faith, doubting nothing. for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, driven by the wind and tossed.

(Jam 1:7) for do not let that man think that he shall receive anything from the Lord;

(Jam 1:8) he is a double-minded man, not dependable in all his ways.

Thanks, RR

Jesus never quesioned God he was quoting Psalms. It was a prophecy about the death of Jesus on the cross. Psalm 22

Sure I think we can, and I think God understands why we need to sometimes.

But nowadays whenever I feel the need to question God, I just re-read JOB CHAPTER 38.

That usually kills the urge!

you can question him all you want

Job did and God said when you can make your own universe or tell me how i made this one then you can question me.

We are not smart enough or good enough to measure up to a holy God…..so it is wrong to question him.

It is sometimes easy to question him when things happen but at the end of the day he knows best.

Dr. Charles Stanley says it’s ok to question God…Jesus questioned God on the cross as did Lazarus’ sister?

In the Christian community, baptism is one of the Holy Sacraments that each person has to go through. Months after the birth of the child, this simple ritual (which is usually celebrated with a whole or half day celebration) is held inside the church where the child is given his or her name. One of the major symbols is when the priest pours holy water on the forehead of the child.

More than a name-giving ritual, baptism has far more importance and significance in the life of a Christian. While many people participate in this solemn ceremony, some people do not know the full meaning of it. here are some key reasons why a child has to be baptized.

- The pouring of the water onto the child’s forehead symbolizes the association of the child to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

- in Colossians 2, it mentioned that baptism was a way to be united with Christ. While everyone is born sinful, baptism allows a person to be born anew and this time without sin, as Christ is with him throughout the whole baptismal process.

- in baptism, the godmothers, godfathers, parents, and other witnesses, pledge on behalf of the child, to turn away from sin, and cling always to Christ.

- Baptism shows the community that this child, that this person, is a Christian, denouncing all works of evil, and is a public proclamation of his or her faith.

- Baptism allows not just the child, but everyone who is witnessing the event, to pronounce their belief in the death, resurrection, and cleansing of God’s children from sin. It is a visual reminder that everyone dies in sin, but can be resurrected and cleansed from sin only through God.

- this shows that the family acknowledges that even Christ himself was baptized, not to be freed from sin, but to rejoin God anew.

- Baptism shows we honor God and we acknowledge his power to overcome sin for us.

- It shows we believe that through the faith that we will demonstrate in this ritual. this faith will enable us to join everyone, and Christ, in the Christian community.

- Baptism is being done to babies, as this means that the journey of spiritual growth starts from our childhood years and not later in life.

- this also means acceptance of the Holy Spirit, making it easier for the believer to follow Christ as the Holy Spirit that is not inside him will serve as a guide.

Baptism is a holy sacrament and every aspect of it should be revered and honored. Just as Christ himself humbly surrendered to this sacrament, so should his children who want to follow his teachings and his life.

A reception is also normally done after a baptism because considering the effect or impact this has on the child’s life, the baptism indeed calls for a celebration. a complete party from the invitation to the favors, a baptism is generally a half day celebration from the ceremony to the baptism party.
