I think there’s a place for both. We are to be child-like (which I often think must be referring to our need to be absolutely dependent upon God), but we are also to be “wise as serpents” and to “test the spirits”.

As Christians, we need to be critical and discerning but also need to jump in with full assurance. We are to question but not to doubt.

Now, what I think you may be referring to most is cynicism–and I don’t know that THAT is every commended in Scripture.
