stupid questions?

Dale Cresap's picture

Have you ever heard it said that there are no stupid questions? This is not true. The Bible says that foolish and unlearned questions engender strife. I faced some stupid questions myself. Was it this man or his parents that sinned that he was born blind? In this case the answer was neither, but that the glory of God may be revealed in him. Don’t let your opponents dictate the terms of the debate. The right questions must precede the right answers. When the wrong questions are being asked, you are free to reformulate them. I frequently turned stupid questions into questions with redemptive purpose, and you can too.

I still believe that there are no stupid questions. The bible does not say that the question is stupid just that it could cause strife. There is equal responsibility to the person answering the question as you said "When the wrong questions are being asked, you are free to reformulate them". Questions are asked for many different reasons. Never think of them as stupid as you may not know where that person is coming from.
