Description
Rules:
Con must agree that such God knows best.
Round 1
If God knows best, then he knows better than you.
Plus, he is all powerful, so questioning him might not be the brightest idea.
So my position is "God knows best but one can question a God who gives kids cancer". I have following arguments:
God can be questioned
In the Bible, questioning God is often portrayed as an act of engagement, not rebellion. For example:
- Moses questioned God’s plan to send him to Pharaoh.
- Habakkuk asked God why He allowed injustice.
- David frequently questioned God in the Psalms but always returned to trust and praise .
- Job suffers immense loss—his wealth, children, and health—despite being faithful to God. He openly questions God's justice and asks why the innocent suffer.
Question god can bring deeper understanding of the faith
Just as muscles grow through resistance, faith often grows stronger when challenged by doubts or adversity. Questioning God in the face of suffering or injustice allows you to confront the reality of the world while still holding on to hope and faith. Many people find peace in trusting God despite unanswered questions, recognizing that faith is not about certainty but trust in something greater.
You mentioned that :
"he is all powerful, so questioning him might not be the brightest idea."
I would say he is so powerful and wisdom so he will not mind our questioning , right?
Thanks for voting. You clearly have a deep understanding of this topic.
Well, thanks for putting in the effort. I do tend to make short debates, because long debates tend to make me tired.
I had to.
Even if someone doesn't 'say something in many words,
What they are saying in implications can be many.
You put much more effort in your vote than I did in this debate.
That requirement does not make any sense. As con, you are opposed to the very idea. Meaning you are against the idea of not questioning such a God.
Oh! then I can't debate you, we share the same point of view haha!
You would be questioning the God.
I would be saying that we shouldnt question the God.
if I chose to debate you, would I be who question the god or the on who don't?
You should never question God. God knows best.
I beg your pardon. But your usual stance, and the way the rules in the description is written, is making me think you meant to make the topic title "You should question a God who gives kids cancer". Sorry if I am wrong.
