• Person: Is asking why tantamount to a lack of trust in God's sovereignty?
  • Kreeft: Just the opposite...
  • Person: Well...with suffering is all we're left with is that God has a greater purpose or is there another answer to that question?
  • Kreeft: If you weren't deeply connected with God, you wouldn't be asking him why. If you had left him, there would be no concern. The question "Why?", if it's asked from the heart, presupposes a relationship; it wants to add reason to faith. There is some faith there - faith not just as thought but as personal trust - and then that faith is ignorant. And since it's accompanied by love, it wants to know more! If you love somebody you want to know more about them, so he keeps asking God "Why this? Why that?" That's very good. Jesus never once discouraged that kind of question. That's just intellectual honesty.
