1. I was wondering the same thing, it's almost like we're in the same class or something. In my questions of the week I briefly talked about my personal struggle with discovering biblical truths for myself, and I too believe this form of teaching is dangerous. Every week Mike affirms the class that they will discover the answer in next week's lesson. All this has come to mean is that if they have discovered the answer for themselves by that time - they will know, but if they haven't, they will be given the opportunity to think about it for seven more days.
2. I realize Jesus may not come back tomorrow, next year, or even next millenium, but I KNOW these kids will be gone in less than four years. They may not necessarily die, but Mike will no longer have the opportunity to trouble them with questions. They will head off to college with all of these questions still running aimlessly around like pinballs in their head. University is the fire for doctrinal gold, testing it's strength, durability, and purity. Without proper preparation, young adults will lose the faith they have grown up in, especially if this so-called faith is composed of an eclectic swamp of questions.
Yes, questions are critical and important, but the answer - the TRUTH - is what will last.
