why do so many of us rebel against God and refuse to obey Him?

Question

Rebellion and lawlessnes have begun to reside in our country in a devestating way. There is blood-lust in our land. There is lust of every kind. Our young people do not have a standard anymore.

Answer 1

people rebel agaings god for things gone bad in their life and feel that if they rebel things will problely go their way.remember that we all where born in sin so i guest that it is in our geans.People need to understand that in times like these we need to look to the lord for help and not rebel againg him

Answer 2

Begun? This country was founded on rebellion against a king who claimed a mandate from heaven. The Civil War and the Wild West were far less civilized. If anything the country has become more religious and orderly. As far as lust goes, just because Britney Spears shakes her butt on TV doesn't mean the end of the world is coming, it just means you're uptight about overt sexuality. Find something more important to trouble yourself about.

Answer 3

2Ti 3:1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2Ti 3:2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
2Ti 3:3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
2Ti 3:4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
2Ti 3:5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
2Ti 3:6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
2Ti 3:7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
2Ti 3:8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.

Mat 24:12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
Mat 24:13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
Mat 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

Answer 4

Rebellion, lawlessness, blood-lust, and lust have nothing to do with refusing to obey god. Want young pepole to have standards? Then more of us should be setting better examples for them and not relying on the invisible dude in the sky to solve all our problems for us.

Answer 5

Cathy,it's a little early to be having that first drink of the day!

First of all,the concept of God and Obeying were created in anciet times for political,not spiritual purposes.The were created to control people,as you're doing now.Give up the superstitions in favor of REASON and SCIENCE and you'll be much happier.

As for young people not having a "standard anymore".They always have and always will.There was more of a standard of decency through liberal humanism in thde mid twentieth century,but conservatives in the past 20 years or so have gone the vulgar route ,resulting in more,not less,drugs and violence.

Don't end up a religious nut case.Get your life together.

Answer 6

sounds like a christian idea if you ask me so i will put it simple christianity started the blood lust and the rebellion of our young youths in america. the teens are getting more and more angery at the way people try to force them to believe in a god of a book called the bible.. no one should blame the teens for there actions. it is the person inside that says they dont want to believe in a lie and they all find there own personal paths...

Answer 7

God is an Imaginary friend for grownups because the majority of the human species cant except the fact that once they die its all over. Be happy with the life you have here on earth and make the most out of it. Dont be so selfish as to think that there has to be more after this because the truth is that there doesn't. You have the ability to make the life you have here on earth your own heaven or hell.

2 Timothy 3

1This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.

2For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

3Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,

4Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

5Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

Matthew 24:4-22
(4) And in answer Jesus said to them: "Look out that nobody misleads YOU; (5) for many will come on the basis of my name, saying, `I am the Christ,' and will mislead many. (6) YOU are going to hear of wars and reports of wars; see that YOU are not terrified. For these things must take place, but the end is not yet. (7) For nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be food shortages and earthquakes in one place after another. (8) All these things are a beginning of pangs of distress. (9) Then people will deliver YOU up to tribulation and will kill YOU, and YOU will be objects of hatred by all the nations on account of my name. (10) Then, also, many will be stumbled and will betray one another and will hate one another. (11) And many false prophets will arise and mislead many; (12) and because of the increasing of lawlessness the love of the greater number will cool off. (13) But he that has endured to the end is the one that will be saved.

Answer 9

lots of reasons one its written that its our nature to rebel which i believe can be over powered with true faith(rebellion) #2 church elders of past must have not done gods work well enough to pass on his word of faith to gen. of recent so there for our nature is what we know best for the lack of strong evidence of faith in our every day experiences#3 maybe we rebel because the word or words of faith was never true and our nature will fight for the opposite from the word of faith till evolution of man weeds out the idea of a god faith or a higher understand of any kind

Answer 10

Ever thought it could be due to all these christians, preaching high morals, only to be found doing the opposite? There are no role models anymore. Everyone who seems to be one, is soon found to be a hypocrite, religiously or otherwise.
As for 'our country', I assume you arrogantly meant america? Sorry, this is a WORLDWIDE site, didn't you know? Or is america the only thing that revolves around the Sun, now?

Answer 11

Blood lust. Oh you mean God want's us to start sacrificing animals again. I'm sorry I didn't read the question. Is God gonna request that we paint lambs blood on our door posts again? I just see blood and I get so religious.
