What do you think about when ppl blame all the bad things in their life to God????? Is this fair to blame God for the bad things in our life???? Some ppl said if you thank God for the good things in your life, then why not blame him for the bad??? For me I think ppl that think like that just want to find someone else to blame things on, but don't wanna look at themself. God is not for us to blame every things on. We should be thankful in every second in our life that he have gave it to us and everythings!!! Reason I asked this it's cause one of my friend just love to blame God for his uphappy life, and I don't know what to say back to him.. what should we tell the ppl that think like this???? It's sad....

The problem with those kind of people is that they are SO BLIND! They have failed to see and realize that GOD OWES US NOTHING BUT JUDGMENT!
The Bible reveals that God is HOLY! And according to his law (the 10 commandments)......"all have sinned and come short of the glory of God." (Romans 3:23) The fact is that NONE of us are "good" nor "innocent"! God says that if you violate ONE part of ONE of his laws ONE time, you deserve HELL FOR EVER!
People think this is "so unfair", but hey! DREAMERS! Time to WAKE UP! You are NOT "good enough" in the sight of a HOLY GOD! The fact is that a Being who is ALMIGHTY, ALL KNOWING, AND ALL WISE, hey! You gonna tell HIM what He can and cannot do??? And just HOW are you gonna "stop God" from BEING GOD and make him NOT judge you? What? just because you REFUSE to "believe", that somehow makes God NOT REAL, and His word NOT TRUE? HAH!!!
I've got news for the whiners and complainers and all of the ARROGANT FOOLS who PRESUME upon God's mercy: GOD OWES YOU NOTHING; YOU OWE HIM EVERYTHING!
And were it not for the fact that GOD IS LOVE, and GOD IS MERCIFUL, guess what? You'd be IN HELL right now! And JUSTLY SO! The only reason all these fools are able to go on "shaking their fist Heavenward" is because HE LETS THEM! But the fact is that ANYTIME HE WANTS, He can CALL YOUR NUMBER......and you know what? THAT'S IT! End of story! NO SECOND CHANCES AFTER DEATH!
And the fact is, you ARE gonna die! And as God's word declares,"There is no man that hath power over the spirit to retain the spirit; neither hath he power in the day of death: and there is no discharge in that war; neither shall wickedness deliver those that are given to it." (Ecclesiastes 8:8). Also, "And as it is appointed unto man once to die, but after this the judgment" (Hebrews 9:27).
Time to deal with REALITY! We shall ALL give an account to our Creator! And his name? The very SAME ONE who died on the cross and paid OUR DEBT to God...THE LORD JESUS CHRIST!
The problem with people like your friend is that they fail to see, the PRIMARY reason we are here is NOT for "our happiness", not to PLEASE OURSELVES! "Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power; for thou hast created all things; and for THY PLEASURE they are and were created." (Revelation 4:11) God is more concerned with OUR HEARTS than OUR HAPPINESS! Not that he put us here to be MISERABLE! If that was the case, there'd be no LOGICAL explaination for our TASTE BUDS, nor for OUR SEX DRIVE! From BOTH we derive GREAT PLEASURE! But all that we do and say is to be for GOD'S GLORY!
That's why we need JESUS.....to "save his people from their sins." (Matthew 1:21) Without Christ, we CANNOT be right with God! Our LYING, STEALING, CURSING, FORNICATING, HATING, DISHONOURING PARENTS, BLASPHEMING, COVETING, DRUNKENNESS, IDOLATRY, AND PLAYING GOD IN CALLING THE SHOTS FOR OUR LIVES, by these and many more violations of God's law...we CONDEMN OURSELVES, proving that we DESERVE TO DIE FOR EVER! Hell is God's JUST PUNISHMENT on wicked sinners! But it is NOT His will that we end up there!
If we will simply BELIEVE THE RECORD God has given us concerning HIS SON....we would then see that our purpose in life is KNOWING AND PLEASING GOD! And thus, we would STOP "blaming God" and instead BLAME OURSELVES! Very much of our problems, we bring on ourselves, and ALL of the "BAD" things in life are due to ADAM'S TRANSGRESSION! We show ourselves as DAMNED by our attitude towards JESUS CHRIST AND HIS WORD! We HATE HIM AND THE BIBLE! Until our HEARTS are changed by God! We must REPENT AND BELIEVE ON THE LORD JESUS CHRIST! "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." (Romans 10:13)
Tell your friends that GOD'S LOVE AND FORGIVENESS is available.....IF THEY ARE WILLING TO HUMBLE THEMSELVES and acknowledge HIS RIGHTFUL RULE OVER THEM by BELIEVING THE BIBLE!!! Amen!!!

Someone once wrote that God must be really bored about getting the blame for problems other people cause, or that we can't/won't think about until it's too late. I'd tell your friend (and anyone else) that God did all He could without interfering with us; basically, he let us stand on our own and said, "Here's the world. Learn about it, and play nicely." We either follow or ignore his advice; after that, we only have ourselves to blame or be proud of. Granted, people don't like hearing this, but I find it hard to believe that God would give us problems we can't handle; that being said, maybe people should use their brains before they start cussing out the Big Boss.
It's like that old joke, really. A big dam breaks open, causing a flood through a small town. The authorities inform the citizens that they should evacuate, and they all do except for one man. He says, "God will protect me." So the others leave, but the man stays; soon, the flood waters are coming through the windows and doors, so he climbs onto the roof. The water's still rising, but some brave souls take a boat to the man's house. When they come alongside, the man says, "God will protect me!" So the boat leaves, the water rises, and the man is swept off the roof and drowns.
So he gets up to heaven and meets The Old Man. He says, "My Lord! I prayed and prayed and served you all my life! Why didn't you protect me?" And God says, "You idiot! I gave you a warning, and sent a boat! What were you expecting, Archangel Gabriel to carry you out piggyback?"
Who knows? Maybe your friend will understand that one...

I feel that we should never blame God for anything. God has a plan for each and every one of our lives. There will bad times in life and there will also be good times. In the end, God always brings you out of a situation. A person shouldn't blame God for something that went wrong, because it's only a test. God gives many tests, and he helps us to pass them. So instead of blaming God, Thank Him. Thank him, because we don't have to deal with the bad things forever, because God always takes our troubles away eventually.

I agree with you it easier to give the blame then to expect it.
What it is that when bad happens everyone blames God like how can he do this or why me but in reality we chose are life to live and we push God away then bad happens to us but if we have God in our life then not that much bad happens but it can't be free from bad because we are human and somethings will happened.Good luck and hope this help you

1 Corinthians 10:13 (NIV)
No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.
This is a great bible verse because you can tell your friend to read it everyday because whatever bad is in his life God will always give you away out it's up to you to want to find it. And that he will never put more on you then what you can handle.

Sometimes I ever been like your friend. Blaming God for every bad things I face. But actually after I think over it again, I discover one thing that God work to make good for us, not bad. Devil makes bad things happen in our life. God`s plan ALWAYS give happines, peace, love, wealth, and blessing to us ... why? because we are His children. He loves us so much more than anyone in this world does. People often blame God because they don`t trust Him. They feel God like to see His own children suffer and died in this world. Devil success to persuade them to erase God`s love in their heart.

everything happens for a reason, if you cant get threw it god wont bring you to it. its like everyone has bad days and bad things happen to them and it makes them feel alone and scared and they blame god because they think gods the one who put them in this situation. in a way its kind of true, god may of put you there because he knows your a strong person and you can handle it. he/she has faith in you just like he/she hopes that you have them. thats why we have mountains so we can learn how to climb. everyday is a new lesson and at the end of it all we have learned some valueable lesson in it all. and ALWAYS remember god is NEVER away from your side. i know it may seem like it at times but your never alone. its like that poem 'Footprints In The Sand' it goes a little somethin like this ...''but then i noticed something, all the bad parts in my life there were only one set of footprints, it botherd me so i asked god why he left me in such time of need. he replyed saying my child it was then i carried you'' -i know i didnt get it quote by quote. but i hope it makes sense =)

God has nothing to do with our choices we make. God
gave us free will to decide on our own. So why should we blame God for our decisions.

He is making choices that please him and if something bad happens he has ONLY himself to blame because of the choices he made

tell him that God is not his problem, this sounds cheezy but, truthfully the devil is the one who comes to steal kill and destroy (john 10:10).
