Why are people so confused and angry at God for showing grace?

Question

God is not unjust because he is gracious to some and not others. Everyone deserves justice, which is eternal seperation, judgement and punishment from God because all are sinful both from birth and from deeds. No one deserves God's grace. God owes mercy to no one. Some get grace, some get justice but no one gets injustice.

Answer 1

I don't think that is why people get angry. I think they get angry at the people who claim to have something "by the grace of God", when no one can really be that sure of that fact.

Answer 2

You are contradicting yourself. If God is truly a God of grace, and grace is undeserved, and everyone recieves God's grace, why would God condemn anyone to eternal damnation? Wouldn't the definition of grace mean that someone who deserved justice, instead recieved mercy? If we are sinful from birth, then justice would demand that God be gracious to everyone. And I disagree with your premise that justice is defined as eternal separation, judgement and punishment.

Answer 3

Sin is sin. The bible tells us that God sees all sin as undesirable. There are not any white lies and no black lies. No gray sin; no black sin; no white sin. Sin is sin. no count the degree of the crime. even as Adam disobeyed God, he took God off the throne of his heart and positioned 'self' there. Self replaced into going to rule his life--he may do what he wanted to do. After the fruit Ordeal, Adam had not purely disobeyed a right away commandment of God, (which on my own replaced into sufficient to be thrown out of the backyard), yet he also lied, chosen devil over God, blamed the female for his sin, hid from God, lined his sin, and that i'm particular there's a lot more suitable that I have forgotten. anyhow, because God is a Holy and in basic terms God, he had to punish Adam and eve for his or her sin--and he did.

Answer 4

It isn't Justice to punish someone eternally for what little time they spend here... I mean, come on... if someone just doesn't believe, they're going to burn forever, no matter how "good" of a person they are. Yet, if they believe and commit murder, all they have to do is say "Jesus, I'm sorry" and they're given Grace? And you think this is Just?

Answer 5

No you aren't born a sinner...you learn, grow, and become one. You forget that Jesus died to absolve you of all sin so hence you can't be born a sinner. Funny contridiction in your Christian faith (assuming you're a Christian...if not I apologize). Another issue Christians over look is the queston of why are the Jews the chosen people? The Jews (I am not a Jew) were chosen to continue suffering for absolution of Humanities sins. So hence if there's continuous absolution of Sin you can't be born into it. Sins are learned and it's unfortunate that Religon isn't sufficiently tolerant or understanding to realize that some things they define as sinful are HUMAN NATURE. PEACE...Check out WWW.UUA.ORG!

Answer 6

your god is geographical. ANd if you would be slightly more interesting at least look for the sources of original bible you would know that word "without " from latin was substitude into word "with" in english. SO much for the truth of bioble.
Every child that is born is without sin . May be your own children with sin but than again stop taken on the world.
Therefore GOD and english exist.

Answer 7

Well, you go on believing that. The rest of us will continue to learn and grow, and develop the cures and solutions for all of the problems that you face. You'll thank god when we cure your children's illness, while preaching against our methods for developing that cure. But that's okay. We'll carry your lot for a couple more generations. We're merciful that way.

Answer 8

BECAUSE THE TRUTH HURTS.
THEY CAN'T BELIEVE THAT GOD HAS MERCY & GRACE FOR US.
GOD IS A JUST GOD.

Answer 9

To me I am unworthy of Jesus everyday...Any gift or so called injustice he gives I receive with gratefulness....I trust in god

Answer 10

Because they just don't understand how God works.
