But is it a sin to have questions? To wonder about things God tells us in the Bible? I’m reminded of Mary’s question after the angel told her that she would give birth to the Son of God. She didn’t immediately say, "If you say it - I believe it." Rather, she said, "How can this be - since I am a virgin?" Mary had questions. She wondered. It is natural for us to question some of the things of God. We are not God and so there are some things he says and does that are hard for us to understand. As God himself said in Isaiah 55, "My thoughts are not your thoughts and my ways are not your ways. As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts."

Questioning is not a sin in and of itself. It is a natural human responses to the things of God. Just as anger is not a sin in and of itself. It is a natural human response to things like injustice and hurt. But just as anger can often lead us to sin, so can questioning. The key is what you do with your anger and what you do with your questions.
