Insincere Questioning in Order to Reject God

 

The following quote from Paul Little explains what to be aware of when people hostile to Jesus ask questions: 

“With many questions, it is more important to discern the root problem than to become involved in discussing a twig on a branch. This is especially true of questions about miracles. The questioner’s problem is generally not with a particular miracle, but with a whole principle. To establish the miracle in question would not answer the question. The controversy is with the whole principle of the possibility of miracles. 

The real problem goes even deeper. It is not with miracles but with the whole concept of God.”
