Why do some Christians unjustly blame current situations on God?

Question

Someone dies: "Its God's will...he needs another angle...God works in mysterious ways"

Doesn't the bible state that death is the enemy? So why would a God of love and righteousness use his enemy against us (1 Corinthains 15:26)

Natural Disasters, Epidemics, Poverty and so on are somehow morbidly blamed on God's divine will when God didn't even want this for us so why would he cause more suffering?? Somewhere in the bible I recall it being said that "Far be it fro the true God to act wickedly" so why blame god for the problems when scriptures like...
2 Corinthians 4:4
1 John 5:19
Revelations 12:9
...state that the rule or the world is Satan the devil and he is the root of our current condition. I don't understand and it makes me very sad to here people smearing Gods name. Why???

Answer 1

Satan is the Ruler of this world and until Jesus returns to Earth with his kingdom, to imprison satan, NOTHING will help mankind. Nothing. Why should god step in, if no man made government can fix Satan's mess? All we can do is wait patiently until the end, and then hope we survive until peace and security reign in Christ's kingdom or until we are resurrected to a paradise. There will be no fixing this world thru politics or laws.

Oh my God, nothing yanks my chain more than some ignorant Christian blaming God for killing someone so that HE can get their "family into church." That's such BS. OH God works in mysterious ways, WHAP then He kills a teenage so mom will go to church? roflmao. Sorry, but that wasn't God. (Ecclesiastes 9:11, 12) As it says there Man doesn't know what time he will die, but Time and Unforseen occurrances befall us all. In plain english "sh1t happens." Things we don't plan for, someone leaves home early, a car comes around a corner on our side, our tire blows out on a tight corner with an oncoming truck, etc. This isn't something God planned, IT JUST HAPPENS. God didn't "allow" it to happen, it just did. Do you really think He's up there waiting on us? Watching our every move as our personal Genie or something? He OWES US NOTHING. He gave us His ONLY begotten son as a sacrifice, He gave us a chance at ETERNAL LIFE, He gave us hope when He didn't have any reason too, He promises us so much and loves us and yet we still expect more like spoilt little children.

Answer 2

Death is the enemy. If you are a Christian then you will have LIFE eternally. If you die and do not know the Lord then you will die eternally.Death or life for eternity is what that means. Choose Satan and you choose death to burn eternally.Satan is the root to our sin but God gave us free will to decide what to do in any given situation. He sent rules for us to live by, the 10 commandments and the Bible overall, so we could be well informed and be able to decide. He also gave His Son to show His love and committment to us and as an example of how to live. I don't think people are blaming God but stating facts. God has set a time for us to die. It is written and it will happen on that day. God's mysterious ways is that you don't understand why a young happy good person dies but God has a reason. Maybe to get this young person's family or friends into church,even if it is for the funeral, to hear God's word. Or if there is great suffering and the person is peaceful and cheery until the end, maybe He is showing others about His peace and love and how it affects a believer's painful death. If others see this peace they will want the same thing. When my mom died I was so thankful because she finally got to Heaven where she will never suffer anymore. Her heart was made good the day she entered the gates of Heaven.I hope this helps and clears some Q up for you.

Answer 3

God controls everything, even Satan. My view is, people become dependent on things, money, friends and other material things. And you should only be dependent on God, not yourself or things.

The bible says God is a jealous God, (I can't quote you exactly where sorry) and doesn't want us dependent on other things, only Him. Because when we are dependent on other things we put them ahead of God, and He doesn't want that. So He will take away (I am speaking from personal experience) everything you think you need and depend on until the only thing you have is God.

When the only thing you have is God and you have Him first, that builds your relationship stronger with Him. And you will be less likely to not have Him 2nd to anything again because you know it can be taken away in a second.

The world becomes dependent on things, that's why the natural disasters, epidemics and poverty. Most Christians won't blame God because they understand why He does it.

Answer 4

Most people that make bold accusations only think about the questions they have for a few minutes and make a decision based on uneducated opinion. People that want to make alot of senseless statements and that are eager to place blame anywhere really have alot of work to do on themselves. If they want to make any kind of statement for or against the Lord then they really should spend some time reading and studying the bible. Once you educate yourself about the Lord and his will for his children then all the other things seem to just fall into place and you find understanding in what you see going on around you.
These people have the same power you do for making the decisions that are made to either receive the Lord's name or to abuse it. Don't waste your time on the ones that refuse to hear. They'll sadly get what they ask for eventually, you and I both know that. Just keep them in prayer, and work on the ones that are willing to crack the door for a peek at what good is in store for them. God Bless.

Answer 5

Don't get too upset, there are many people in the world that call themselves Christians and have never even opened their Bibles. Knowledge comes from the Word of God, and Jesus Christ is that Word.

Perhaps God is leading them to you so you can help them understand. It appears that you are Spirit filled and a true soldier for Christ.

I see this everyday to. I pray, drop a seed here and there, in hopes some may grow. always remember, God has a wonderful plan. Let Him allow it to unfold, for by doing so the end justifies the means.><>

Answer 6

Let me put it thusly:

200 years ago it was not uncommon for seemingly healthy young mothers to die shortly after childbirth. The reason for this was unknown. It was not until the invention of the microscope and the discovery of infection that this daily tragedy could be avoided. It is very easy to say that something, even something dreadful, is "god's will." It is very difficult to invent the microscope. Sometimes we must do what is hard to make the world a better place.

Putting things down to the whim of god is an easy way to explain things without having to make any effort.

Answer 7

It's not about Christians as a demographic. There will always be jaded followers working their religions into every single subject. Those followers commonly have their own reasons, whether to bring light to what common sense states is an unanswerable subject or even, in terms of more negative members, to convert their listener through a sense of manipulation.

Answer 8

I think because some of them are looking to current events as a sign of the end of times. I think that is the biggest thing for Christians to look forward to. Especially if you have been righteous. It means you are probably "chosen", and when it happens you will go to heaven. What I don't get is why so many of them are interested in the rest of us going to hell( because if I am not mistaken, a lot of us will) It shouldn't make them angry, it should make them sad. There's not much compassion, just alot of warnings.

Answer 9

first of all, it really is elementary to thank God for the best things because he's nice. once you know His personality, you know that he's searching after issues even once you do not realize. That being suggested, Christians get mad at God each of the time. you likely gained't locate many people admitting to it, because who needs to confess even as they are having a weak second? people continually opt to have the creation that we've it less than administration. enable me ask you, although- if a Christian chum of yours informed you that he/ she replaced into mad at God, what ought to you're saying? now to not advise i know your answer, yet maximum people are likely afraid that everybody else will bounce in and doubt our faith for us, which we genuinely do not want if we are in an section the position we are mad at God firstly... element is, certain, it occurs. The extra mature the Christian, the a lot less it occurs, yet i'd sense fantastically delicate putting forward that all of us go by ability of that faster or later.

Answer 10

It is because people feel powerless and people know that God has all of the power. I don't think that people really know what they are saying when they blame stuff on God (As you correctly pointed out, Satan is the reason that things go awry). Keep your chin up, soldier and God bless you.
