God gave you all free-will and people never blame that all on him.It makes sense that i dont see them blaming the devil /satan, because product liability works only on the one that created the product, right?

God is responsible, 100%, shouldn't we blame him more?

Mark, let them dream. Remember reality is for those who lack imagination and fantasy.
God is good.

Satan is bad. ( Although do you ever see a football player on a "losing" team thank Satan or Jesus for that matter?)

You and I know we are responsible for our own actions or outcomes, good or bad.

Why should you blame Him for your own shortcomings? This is the problem with people in this world today none of us feel any need to take responsibility for our own actions. God set down the rules and the way of things if you choose to do the wrong thing then you pay. Just like when you choose to not follow directions to a product, you should only blame yourself not the person who made the product.

God did give us free will, but WE ABUSED IT! How can God be responsible for sin when Adam and Eve were WARNED in the Garden not to eat of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil and did so anyway? WE introduced sin into the world and are responsible. God was only responsible for making the sacrifice (Jesus Christ) that would rid us of our sins through His blood. Had Adam and Eve not sinned, we'd still be living a utopic life, naked, ignorant, and IN CONTROL! Remember, God gave man DOMINION over all the world! We abused it all through sin and have been paying the price ever since! We have to bow to the will of God through salvation as outlined in Acts 2, and yet STILL we rebel and complain and etc.....The blame rests entirely with us.

So, God gave you free will, you use free will to go against God, and now you want to blame God?

You might want to stop looking for others to blame and start looking at the person in the mirror.

I realize that many of our problems come from our fellow man exercising his free will. But I won't complain because I rather like not having been created as a robot.

But I suppose if enough of us complain about free will, he could perform the miraculous equivalent of a universal lobotomy and turn us into creatures incapable of disobeying his laws. Then us robots would certainly be justified in blaming him for anything that happened.

Should we put it to a vote?

Why is God 100% responsible for my problems? I have the opportunity EVERY DAY in my life to make choices. God's influence in my life is to guide me into making the thoughtful, considerate decisions. Satan's attempted influence in my life is to make the hurtful, selfish decisions. Both paths are put before me. I choose.

I don't "blame" God for free will, I thank Him and worship Him because I can. Interestingly, I don't "blame" satan for my problems either because I can choose whom I will follow.

Joshua 24:15: But if serving the Lord seems undesireable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods of your forefathers served beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.

Because people of strong faith in God generally believe that what may seem like problems to us are often just part of God's larger plan that eventually works only to good. He can see the big picture...we can't. And in other cases, as others have mentioned, many of our problems are the result of our choices to "go our own way" rather than following God's commandments to us. We can't hold him responsible when we reject his will for our lives.

God lets us have choice to love & obey Him or not. So He does take the blame sometimes. It is written in His bible.

His Word also writes that there are consequences to our actions. Some problems are because We disobeyed Him. The iniquities go on unto the 3rd & 4th generation that hate Him (Idolatry).

Problems brought on by persecution when we are obedient to God isn't pleasant at the time but God rewards greatly.

The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God, through faith, is eternal life. All die because of own sin, others sin, or environmental sins.

When a righteous (by the blood) person dies because of the sins of others or environmental sins, I believe that person gets a martyrs crown.

God is a just & good God, so blaming him because of what others do is a sin against God.

All have sinned against God's Glory somewhere, somehow. So we all need a Savior to save us from our Sins. That is why Jesus went to the cross and rose from the dead. So we can have everlasting life. He gave His life for us. Confessing Jesus Christ Lord of one's life means commitment. To trust & obey Him.

God disciplines His own & takes more responsibility in those that are sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise. God saves Christians from problems every day. I know because I have got on the Salvation Foundation & God is still saving me every day by directing me in my life. Persecution comes & I grow in my faith because God direct me how to respond. I study His Word & claim His promises. God is a healing, loving God. He Is Holy. So I need to be Holy. Otherwise, I get in trouble.

God waits for those that reject His love, but they can do some pretty bad things that usually hurts others & brings them to the breaking point. Then they realize they are sinners needing a Savior. They turn to the Way ,Truth & Life.

Oh sure they do. Haven't you ever READ any of the answers people actually give? Just yesterday an Atheist kid said, right here on YA ..."What has God ever done for me?, I used to believe in God until my Mom got sick and died..yada yada".

Seems to me that there are Christians who except Gods will, and try to learn from it, and there are Christians who don't. They reject it. I can't tell you how many Atheist on YA answers say there where raised Christian, but converted to Atheism. The do it because they are accusing God for their problems, so therefor turning away.

God is always blamed, if you miss it, you're not paying attention enough. Why is God 100% responsible when you, in your right mind pushed the button and caused problems?

Sorry. With the same logic, then we should blame the government that we are not all in prison.

God gave us free-will just as the government allows you to do what you want. There is just consequences to any action.
