faith-invites-argument-with-god

# Faith invites argument with God I feel safe enough to argue with God, and the invitation to argue is itself part of the covenant. The tradition that gives us Job, the lament psalms and Jacob's wrestling treats questions and counter-questions as a form of intimacy, not rebellion. A faith that cannot be argued with is not trusted, only feared. Related: [[the-answer-to-suffering-is-presence-not-explanation]], [[intimacy-is-mutual-exploration-of-a-shared-safe-place]]
