?Question?

I don't know what to call it but I'm going through a stage in my life where I question everything. Maybe I should call it the "Question-ing Stage" or the "Got Questions Stage." It's kind of ridiculous. I feel like I have a question mark right above my head following me wherever I go. But like I said before, I constantly question everything that I see, learn, or feel. It happens a lot when it comes to my faith in God and the Bible.

I decided to read through the Old Testament and am currently in the book of Numbers. The previous books (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus) were pretty interesting and fun to read. Well maybe not Leviticus, that was painful. But it's really fun to read the history of our forefathers and all that good junks.

BUT......

I've questioned so many events that took place in the Old Testament that it's kind of surprising to read.

For example, there's some dude that picks up firewood on the Sabbath. Keep in mind, he picked up FIREWOOD. Totally harmless, right? But God KILLS him!

When I read that, I'm like WTD? (What the Ddong?) And this is just one of the many examples that are in the Bible.

God killed a man.....Picking up firewood.....God slaughtered many nations.....Etc. Etc. Just read through the Old Testament and I bet you will be shocked and your eyes will be opened. Yes, it is possible even if you're Asian. Everything is possible through Jesus Christ. Your eyes will open!

This might sound weird but I'm glad that I question everything in the Bible. I don't want to be a Christian because I've been told so in Sunday School. I want to believe in Christ because I genuinely want to develop a relationship and to know His heart.

Maybe then, I won't have any questions.
