God Is Not Threatened by Your Questions

Demolishing Doubt – Cliffe & Stuart Knechtle

One of the consistent messages of *Demolishing Doubt* is that God is not fragile or insecure in the face of human questions. Honest doubt is not a sin. God invites reasoning (“Come now, let us reason together” – Isaiah 1:18) and calls us to love Him with our minds as well as our hearts. The Knechtles encourage people to bring their hardest questions into the open rather than suppress them. Suppressed doubt tends to grow in the dark; honest doubt, brought into the light of evidence and community, can lead to deeper faith.
