How does 'sinning' upset god? How can an infinite all-powerful deity be bothered by what you do?

Question

If god were bothered by your 'sins' one way or another that would give you a form of power over him.
That doesn't make sense from the stand point of a deity. You're telling me the creature that created black holes and galaxies and planets is going to torment you forever because you looked at another human naked? What kind of sense does that make?
That's like an Ant calling me a four letter word. First off I wouldn't even know, second - I wouldn't care, third - I wouldn't torture it forever out of vengence. Who has that kind of time?

Answer 1

This goes right along with the question "why did God create us in the first place"? The answer is because God's nature requires that He loves. He created us for He would have a people to love. Does our rebellion upset Him.. Heavens YES. Enough to solve the riddle of how to Love us and still remain Just when we commit all manor of evil (sin). I doubt you will understand what I am talking about.. Jim

Answer 2

God concern is about the damage that the sin does to the person performing it, and the others affected by it. The Bible does not support your human/ant analogue. Rather it presents man as being made "in the image" of God, and thus capable of fellowship and a relationship with him.

God loves man, and seeks such a relationship with him. Love is not based on two people having some amount of power or intelligence. Otherwise no mother in the world would love their baby. Their babies are not capable of understand or doing any of the things the parent does.

So sin is an issue with God because it harms those that he loves, who he has taken as his family.

Answer 3

while you're "God" then actual you are the utmost potential and don't easily choose something in any respect. So he's like an evil scientist coming up people as a lab test or the evil tw*t does not exist in any respect.

Answer 4

this is from Romans 5:

6You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. 7Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. 8But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

9Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God's wrath through him! 10For if, when we were God's enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life! 11Not only is this so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.

The death of Christ.

During the three hours which the darkness continued, Jesus was in agony, wrestling with the powers of darkness, and suffering his Father's displeasure against the sin of man, for which he was now making his soul an offering. Never were there three such hours since the day God created man upon the earth, never such a dark and awful scene; it was the turning point of that great affair, man's redemption and salvation. Jesus uttered a complaint from Ps

The believer may have tasted some drops of bitterness, but he can only form a very feeble idea of the greatness of Christ's sufferings. Yet, hence he learns something of the Saviour's love to sinners; hence he gets deeper conviction of the vileness and evil of sin, and of what he owes to Christ, who delivers him from the wrath to come.

When Christ died the ground shook and the sky trembled ( I do believe that is when GOD seperated himself from christ coz he could not stand the sin due to the fact that Christ bore the sin of the humanity on the cross)

Answer 5

Also, it seems that modern religious people say that what used to offend God in the Old Testament isn't offensive to him anymore, because the old laws have been washed away by Jesus. However, it seems God still is especially preoccupied by whether a not a woman saves herself for marriage. I think us humans say stuff like that because it makes us feel very self important. It's an ego boost to believe that we are the precious creation of an all powerful God, and that our every action is important to him.

Answer 6

The sinning that you and I and we do comes from somewhere. That somewhere God says comes from within you. I want you to look inside yourself and see if you can find thoughts that are totally benevolent. Thoughts that think of your nieghbors welfare. I think you will find that most of your thought center on how other people are more screwed up than you. We all do. This will give you a little hint of our arrogance. It is a struggle to not be selfish, kind, patient, gentle, and innumerable other virtues. Humility especially.
I would say or lack of genuine humility is what God has a proplem with, for out of this lack come all our sins. Sins against our fellow man does bother God. God does not have to struggle to love. We do.
Hell is for those who arrogantly refuse to see their position of arrogance before a God of humility. We all know that to love our neighbor we must imitate Him and humble ourselves. But you must kow that even your imitaion of humility does not save you, for then you may even be tempted to be proud of yourself for all the good things you have done just to get acclaim. Therefore, Jesus died on a cross to be a contract written in blood(New Testament) so we may know that our position has been moved(in God"s accounting) from one of arrogance to one of adoption.God does not want us to anguish with regret, weeping an gnashing of teeth in hell because we did not lower ourselves to His position and accept His peace offering.

Answer 7

That's a good question. here is my take on it.ever since the beginning God has been challenged by one of his angels.This angel looked at all God had created and was impressed at what he saw...Then God had a meeting with His created man and woman and told them straight up....Out of all this creation eat drink be merry but I have 1 stip....do not eat from this little tree here,thats all I ask..just obey this one little command. well by golly that angel wanted them folk to do his bidding so he disguised hisself like a snake that he is and waited fer an opertunity....One day at a week moment in time he ask the woman why she wouldnt eat that stuff from that tree...and she told him first of all God has said dont eat it.or we will die...Right then and there that angel told the first lie...Out of his mouth came these words...words of which satan uses every day to trick the masses..just like he tricked the very first inhabitants..He told her why you wont die...in fact you will be like God knowing right from wrong...well you know the rest of the story but do you? See here is my point .That angel challenged God in front of all creation...the angels in heaven as well as all mankind need to be made straight about the awesome power of God! And one day soon all will be made as intended that bad angel will be destroyed along with is compadres and death and hell will be no more.thats right hell will be no more.that means everlasting torment is wrong dont it? God has to prove something...he has to prove its his way or the highway and he has to prove that angel,satan the devil wrong.I doubt that you will read this

Answer 8

Matthew 25:41[kjv]Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

above verse tells us that hell was prepared for devil and his angels not us but since we choose to disobey GOD and trust him and recieve what JESUS did on the cross forus one who does that go there.

we are created in image of GOD which is why GOD cares for us.

Genesis 1:27[kjv]So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

GOD doesnt want anyone to go there.

2 Peter 3:9[kjv]The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

GOD is holy.Sinners cannot live with GOD.

www.fathersloveletter.com listen to it.
www.e-water.net/loveletter_en.html watch it.

But if u reject JESUS in this life GOD will reject you in the life to come.So everyone has a choice where to live.GOD wont punish anyone eternally but if one chooses to reject JESUS then that one does not have eternal life.Where do u want to be?Do u want to recieve JESUS into your life?

John 3:16[kjv] 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.

so when we believe in JESUS we have eternal life.JESUS lived a sinless life and gave up his life as a sacrifice so we can be sin free. Ask JESUS to come into your heart and forgive ur sins and cleanse ur past with the blood JESUS shed on the cross.

With a simple prayer like above u can be saved.JESUS loves u and wants u to be saved.

Answer 9

ok if you had a kid which would be something you created and has the ability to tell from right and wrong and you try to teach this kid to make the right decisions and do good. You later find out he has been cursing you and doing the exact opposite of what you teach. You would be insulted would you not and betrayed the same with god.

Answer 10

God doesn't torture humans either because he doesn't have the time to remember all the wicked people.
He told Adam "for dust you are and to dust you will return"
Back to what he was before.
But as a loving parent he does care what his children do.
He doesn't want them to get hurt or hurt others.
He hates violence the bible says. Wouldn't a place where you torture people be violent?
