Why does man always answer for God?

Question

im talking about when for example in the middle ages, the pope did a crusade in the name of god, and in the spanish inquisition where the burning of innocent women occured all because "it was gods will". also when u ask about god, u get a human answering for him, like "no i dont think he would like that" or "god is happy with you, and u will go to heaven". why cant man understand that God is beyond their powers to answer for him? and that god does not have human attributes...as everyone nowadays associates him with. is it right to answer for God?

exactly my point, it means that god is not something u can answer for, as everyone who answers thinks differently in the subject of god, therefore god is undefined, so u cant say he will save u to heaven or send u to hell, or u cant even say he is happy with u, because thats ur opinion and not a solid fact. thus every answer the priests, people, and etv give is solely based on the intangibility of their opinions and leaves space for the question that: god is undefined?

in other words just mandy, ur saying that we dont have free will? wow the hipocrisy of it.

Answer 1

Who else could answer for a ficticious person ?? People believe if they do something "in the name of god " then it is rightous.

Answer 2

It is right to quote Gods word, thus making it seem we are answering for him, but if we answer with Gods word that is written (sometimes in ways people can understand) and not with our own understanding, we are in fact planting seeds, or watering them.

When someone asks a question that the bible does not address, I simply answer truthfully and that is that it is not explained or explained in anymore detail in the bible.

When I answer with my own opinion, I state that it is my opinion or wishful thinking on some topics.

My whole life is supposed to be submitted to God, and I do pray that he uses my fingers to type his word in a way that the questioner can understand.

If I found myself thinking for God, I would hope that a fellow believer would call me out on it in a kind and truthful way, for I am very aware that I am not yet perfected and will not be until I take my last breath on this earth.

For adult males would be fans of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to persons, unthankful, unholy,without organic affection, trucebreakers, fake accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of folk who're good, Traitors, heady, highminded, fans of pleasures better than fans of God; Having a form of godliness, yet denying the means thereof:from such draw back.For of this way are they which creep into residences, and lead captive stupid women people laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, Ever studying, and not in a position to return to the understanding of the reality. 2 Timothy 3:a million-7

Answer 4

It seems to me that you know nothing about him except that he is not in human form. There is plenty to learn about GOD from a bible, and more to learn from him all around us. People may sometimes answer for GOD but for the rest of us we just try to speak truthfully and biblically allowing GOD to judge. What is right is right and what is wrong is wrong. Many answers in the bible, it is clear. GOD can do anything he wants to us and has made many things possible. I am always grateful for his grace in my life and I take him seriously. No one is perfect. You are wrong for taking what you want and leaving what you don't like, when it comes to GOD.

Answer 5

Good question...

Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. When a human answers for God, you need to keep in mind that humans are not perfect.

When popes called for the inquisition and the crusades, they failed to realize that the REAL holy war was fought and won at the Ressurrection where Satan was exposed for who he was (according to my pastor and evangelist Dr. Charles Stanley).

Answer 6

If you know the bible, it's not only right, it's a commandment. "Be ready to have for every man an answer for the hope that is within you".

We need to remember that many people have done many things using God's name. That doesn't mean God would condone their behavior.

Answer 7

Who answers TO God? You, or them? Don't bother asking about what someone else thinks about God, because he is not on the same line with you as he is with someone else.

If you believe God is all-powerful, then, you should also believe he has the capability of doing what's right for you. He can worry about someone else in someone elses mind.

Answer 8

God in many ways answers for himself in the bible. So we have to read for ourselves what He is saying. We have the big blessing of getting many answers right here by pointing and clicking


"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;" Romans 3:23

"For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 6:23

"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16

"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." Romans 10:9-10

Answer 9

Don't know great question....why does man always choose to answer 4 God. And because man is answering it is hard to know if it's the truth

Answer 10

no
but you have to understand that man does know right over wrong
now as far as starting wars in the name of God then that is done by man and using God's name to make it right

We all know right over wrong
but we can not judge someone
that is God's job
