To me, appropriate faith does not seem to "close the door on doubt that one needs". To me, Bible, science and history seem to suggest that both faith and doubt seem important to the human experience in its apparently adverse condition. The key issue seems to be when, and in what, to have doubt and faith. To me, this discussion seems focused upon the basis for the suggestion that God is optimally the sole, logical focus of constant faith.

In addition, the concept of "looking out of one's comfortable box" seems to warrant clarification. Might you consider the phrase to refer to appropriate desire for growth? If so, to me, the Bible seems to suggest that God has always advocated human experience growth (Genesis 1:28-31). A key issue seems to be whether all human experience growth is appropriate. The debate seems focused upon the Bible's apparent suggestion that not all human experience growth is appropriate, that God is the ultimate determiner thereregarding, and that humans optimally have faith in God's real-time guidance (not human guidance purportedly on God's behalf) regarding experiential growth that is appropriate.
