In Deuteronomy 6.20 and Exodus 12.26 it shows how God urged people to live in such a way to deliberately provoke questions from their children so that they could learn about what God had done. And in Colossians 4.6 and 1 Peter 3.15 Christians are encouraged to be ready to answer people's questions about Jesus. It is clear that questioning is to be encouraged because it shows curiosity and a hunger to learn, a desire to know God.
