Saltukhan  +  917036 Fri, 25 Sep 09 05:49 PM I mean this: For example; we believe in God. We choosed a religion. God ordered somethings. God told us to be a good man, to help people inneed, to pray etc Should we interrogate those orders? or we should just accept it? What do you think?

	Saltukhan  +  924921 Fri, 02 Oct 09 10:04 AM salam  miss muslimflower i dont mean the existance of God ( Allah). I mean God's orders. Should we interrogate God's orders? and not only for islam i ask this question according to all religions. Saltukhan

	Old Man Gordon  +  958787 Sun, 01 Nov 09 09:56 AM The word 'interrogate' makes a response difficult.  Usually we use 'question' or maybe examine.     I think you need to question whether you believe the orders or commands are truly from God.  If you accept that they are from God, why would you question God's motivation or reasoning?  Just like a child is in no position to question his parents' orders which are not random but for the child's health and well-being.

	Saltukhan  +  960111 Mon, 02 Nov 09 09:11 PM Thank you for correction Old Man Gordon I agree you. But there are 2 kind of idea about situation. Some people are rasionalists. They think they can question everything. Actually they believe that they have to question everything. Children must follow the rules of their parents. Thats right also. But there is also another phenomenon, freedom. If we accept the God's orders and follow them, does it mean God breaks our freedom? Saltukhan

	Old Man Gordon  +  960565 Tue, 03 Nov 09 10:04 AM That's a good question, Saltukhan.    The balance between being a servant to God and using your freedom is a difficult balance to achieve.  I believe that if we obey God because we love Him, it's different from obeying blindly or from obeying out of fear.   Are you married?  If you are, you can see how giving up what you want is a way of giving up your freedom, but it is also a way to show your spouse your love.

	Saltukhan  +  963831 Sat, 07 Nov 09 12:15 AM Old Man Gordon  Good explanation But i think if we obey God -believe in God-, we shouldn't question things about God. If we believe in God, that means God is perfect. So, perfect is not open to question and examine. We don't question our boss's orders in a work place, we just follow his/her orders. Saltukhan

	Old Man Gordon  +  964205 Sat, 07 Nov 09 11:34 AM I completely agree.   We just have to be sure that the orders come from the boss.   What do you think of the exmple in the Christian/Jewish Bible of Jacob, who wrestled with God?  Does that apply to your question? If you're not familiar with the story, it can be found in Genesis 32.  www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis%2032 Old Man Gordon
