This is why apologetics and learning to ask good questions like Jesus did will strengthen your faith. God isn't afraid of our questions. The Biblical worldview doesn't call for a blind faith or with out reason. We are to understand the text while having the wisdom to see its importance in everyday life. The info below is a Judaism practice they begin teaching their children at very young ages.
(The Nobel prize-winning Jewish physicist Isidore Rabi once explained that his mother taught him how to be a scientist. ‘Every other child would come back from school and be asked, “What did you learn today?” But my mother used to ask, instead, “Izzy, did you ask a good question today?”
Education is not indoctrination. It is teaching a child to be curious, to wonder, reflect, enquire. The child who asks becomes a partner in the learning process. He or she is no longer a passive recipient but an active participant. To ask is to grow.
One of the most striking features of biblical Hebrew that though the Torah is full of commands—613 of them—there is no biblical word that means ‘obey.’ Instead the Torah uses the word shema, meaning, ‘to hear, listen, reflect on, internalize and respond.’
God wants not blind obedience, but understanding response.
Questioning is at the heart of Jewish spirituality. Religious faith has often been seen as naïve, blind, accepting. That is not the Jewish way. Judaism is not the suspension of critical intelligence.)
