Questioning God
From Eco-Bible 1
These are notes for an incomplete "Concept" page.

The main focus here is not on asking God for or about something. Rather, it is on the type questioning that occurs in the context of arrogance or pride.
- This type of attitude also exists when a person makes demands of God.
Scripture Pages that Link to Here
- If God chooses to remain silent for a while (instead of judging the wicked the way we think he should), who has a right to condemn?
- In this passage, God questions Job. This is the only appropriate way for it to be done. Job had demanded the opposite - that he be allowed to question God and that God answer him!
- (comment) People have asked God legitimate questions, and God has answered. See Habakkuk 1:2+ and 1:12+, for two examples. But in Habakkuk, the focus of the questions (and the attitude expressed by them) was totally different from what Job was doing.
