can u some one explain. why?

Question

when something goes wrong in our lives we blame ourselves and when something goes right we thank God. why its right to give him credit for all the right and not blame for the wrong? and the so called God's people have a theory for everything if reasons are oblivious than they say God has punished you if there are no reasons to be found then God is testing you. don't you think its all in the mind?

my dear Dean Estella, you are contradicting your own statements u say you believe in God and yet you say 'we blame him for the wrong'. i told you what i did. when i say 'we' thank him for all the good because that's what i do. my question here was 'why'. let not your faith falter if it's true. if truly believe in God that why are questions against faith getting you paranoid. is it so week or are you not sure yourself. why do we run away from books like Da vinci code, its a masterpiece, if you have faith in your beliefs then why should it affect you. i have read Da Vinci and for me its just a fiction. my question has nothing to do with my faith in God its just something that i have to reason out with and wanted to know if there were more who tot the same. why fear raising a question against your faith unless you ask you wouldn't have the answers and obviously because you did not ask you are now not in a postion to answer.

Answer 1

hi buzz,
i totally support you in this point. the matter of religion is that most of people used it to encourage themselves not because of belief. why God always the reason of every steps we made, so where is our liberty in life.
i don't believe that if god bring life to all these people, he must give them the liberty to move

Answer 2

Think about this:

An ancient Greek philosophy says: " God is either all merciful or all powerful" (he cant be both at the same time).

This means that if he is all merciful, then all the good things happen as per His will, also meaning the things that go wrong are not as per His will, thus He is not all powerful.

On the other hand, if he is all powerful then all good or bad things that happen are as per his will.

I sometimes feel the Greeks were intelligent, but not intelligent enough to decide which of the attributes to give to God.

"He is mysterious and does things that are far beyond the comprehension of ordinary mortals" they would say.

Answer 3

when something goes wrong in our lives we should blame ourselves. We like to believe we should thank god for the good things that happen in our lives. If you dont thats your choice. Believing in god is a very personal thing. Not everyone believes the same thing. If you dont believe in god and you burn in eternal hell, thats your choice and you have no one to blame but yourself for not having faith. If we are all wrong about god then we will just die! Maybe its all in the mind. Someday we will all find out. That I know for sure!!

Answer 4

Lets go all the way back for this one...to the very first guy and gal who ever had trubs in their life. The two of them were kicked as it were from their perfect abode and had heaping consequences for their choices. Yet, they had been warned of what could and would happen if they disobeyed. Even still having been called out to answer for what went wrong and why and so forth...all they managed to do was to try to hide in shame, play the blame game and as well in doing so show extreme and glaring selfishness. Adam even went as far as to blame God.."this woman YOU made me...she did cause me to eat." Neither repented of what they had done..for surely if they had confessed as we are called to do and asked for grace..they would have recieved it. I believe the opposite is true in fact...there is nothing that God cannot see us through and everything works for the good of those that love Christ. Any person who can see that is truely blessed. I think most people want to blame God for all the worlds issues and give mankind or themselves credit when ever anything good happens. Truthfully though, have we ever acheived anything that has benifited the world as a whole? Medicine, science, education, commerce, organized religion? No..it might do some one somewhere some good but in effect someone somewhere is being used, abused or exploited for what could be described as the greater good. The truth is..if we were to keep every single commandment in the scriptures as God intended...there would be no suffering. Not for anyone...anywhere..but just as He knew then things would not pan out that way and as He also knew things would go so far as to never be returned to a peaceful existance..He sent His Son to make all things new. So yes, anytime anything good happens in this life..it can be seen as God still striving with us daily and if anything bad should happen..if we live through it or if we don't...as Job said..."Though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him." What else ya gonna do? Trust in yourself? Trust in your fellow man? How far that gonna get ya? Love in Christ, ~J~

Answer 5

A simple explanation is

All our best thoughts are the building blocks of our GOD-simply means good- within us.
All our evil thoughts are the cause to form a Devil- simply means all bad- in us

On birth as children we are GODs
with life's bad experience some becomes Fully or partly DEVILs.

So basically when something go wrong we blame ourselves-the devils
And all best things go to the Good Old GOD in our Childhood.

Answer 6

Actually I believe that when u make a sin, God punishes u by making some bad things happen to u,,,, but all the good thing is from God and might happen because we did something good

and if u believe in heaven and hell,, u might believe that if God punished u on earth we hope that u wont be punished in afterlife,,, and vise versa,,

so ,,, all real believer do not feel bad about bad things happen to them,,, they should be happy sometimes

Answer 7

well, after writing a long story to the question, i decided to delete it. i think either way god has a hand in it. sometimes you can recognize the reason why. others you can't. putting your life in gods hand you dont' always see the reason why, or be able to understand it right away, but always seems to work out for your best interest. i dont' believe in god punishing you though. i had that belief for to long in my life. i have come to a place where i am able to let that idea go and understand that it was from religion that idea grew from. once i was able to develop my own relationship with him and came to a spiritual belief, i was able to understand more on his work in my life, my own decisions i made. and how he gave me free will and would always be there for me. anyways, guess this is long, but not as long as the story i gave as an example. but, he always has a reason if somethign goes wrong

Answer 8

Hate to answer a question with a question but why do billions of otherwise rational, logical human beings insist on believing in an invisible, omnipotent creator?

Faith is the one human endeavour which negates the one thing that separates humans from the rest of the animal kingdom, the ability to reason.

Answer 9

If you were walking accross a wasteland and came to two pools of water. One had nothing growing around it or in it, yet was clear and sparkling. The second pool was full of movement but cloudy and cold. Which would you drink from? The first pool is logic, the second, faith in God. Chose the cloudy one for God loves and logic punishes.

Answer 10

You know, you should watch 'bruce almighty'..
Anyway.. irrespective of the events in our life, we are endowed with 'free wil'.. so no matter what the events, the outcome is always deermined by u alone. Yes, we can ask God for assistance.. and guidance... but God helps those who help themselves. Blaming God is just childish.. we have to tkae responsibility for our own actions.
As for thanking Him, its cool coz what IF he had done something to help us and it wasn't just ourselves alone? Maybe if we didn't He'd be like - Sheesh! I helped that kid n they didn't even know! (Not that he needs acknowledgement - considering there are alot of others mighty Holy ppl out there) -- but just spose...
So... better safe..

And God wouldnt want anything bad to happen to us.. he's the Creator - would you want something bad to happen to your kids or something? Or would you intentionally pour soda all over the cover of your favourite book?? ok, so maybe if you had alot of books and one not-so-interesting one was in the corner collecting dust you'd ignore it a while - but if it shouted out 'please clean me up' Im sure you'd go right over and dust it back right? Now you didnt put the dust there -- like God doesnt MAKE bad stuff happen - sometimes it just does! But you'd still clean up the lil book... So maybe its the same way with God.. in His time..

Answer 11

you should wake up - yea, funny thing is, we like to blame God when something goes wrong(even the non-believers!_ and very easily forget to ask His forgiveness and thank Him when everything goes good- do not joke about God- why does it bother you so much , since you claim to not be a believer ? go do something else, and when you come to your senses, try to let the Lord into your heart.
