why do people blame God when its not God that did it?

Answer 1

because they dont know who else to blame... poor them.

Answer 2

Yes there are many people blame God but in fact him/herslef is wrong.They are too egoist.They do not blame him/herself
.They seek a scape goat.God is perfect.Human is imperfect
.The wrong always lies on the people.People are easily tempted by satans especially if he/she has a weak faith.God can not be blamed because God is always true.We will have great sin if we blamed God.

Answer 3

Shows you just how many people believe in a supernatural force of enmity and hatred. Belief in a God is prevalent so He gets the blame. Unfortunately a belief in malicious evil powers [in the western world] is not prevalent - although in many other countries it is.

Answer 4

I have asked this many times "How long will people blame God for sin and evil, when it is man who causes sin and evil?."

Why did the people say Jesus performed miracles by the power of Satan? The blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. Their hearts were so hardened against Jesus that they could not believe in him, even in the face of miracles.

Answer 5

We make all of our own choices and suffer the consequences - all of this is made possible by God.

Answer 6

to TOLTEC. God allows bad things to happen so we realize, that we are nothing without him, I'm Catholic and belief that all the bad things that occur are because of Satan and God has nothing to do with it.

Answer 7

this is easy. you hear from christians how god has this "plan". the evil is obviously in his plan. if you want to put it in a religious point of view.

Answer 8

To blame someone is to accuse him of wrongdoing. God never does anyone wrong. He is a holy and righteous judge.

However, nothing happens apart from God's sovereign providence. We see this very easily in the book of Job. Satan comes before God and has to ask permission to cause evil to Job, and God allows it. However, when Job loses all of is oxen and sheep and all 10 of his children die, Job does not even mention Satan as being responsible. The Bible says,

"Then Job arose and tore his robe and shaved his head and fell on the ground and worshiped. And he said, 'Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return. The LORD gave, and the LORD has taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD'" (Job 1:20-21).

And as if the author of the book knew we would say, "No, Job, don't say that! God didn't do it, Satan did," the very next verse says, "In all this Job did not sin or charge God with wrong."

In other words, Job did not blame God as if He had wronged him. Job understood that he was undeserving of everything the Lord had given him up until that time, and the Lord had the right to take it away. So Job did not sin in attributing his losses to God.

We, as Christians, understand that all things (even things that appear to be bad) work together for our good because all things work together for the glory of our God which is our joy (Romans 8:28).

This is why Joseph said in Genesis 50:20 to his brothers who had sold him into slavery, "As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good." Joseph realized that his brothers had acted wickedly and deserved the blame, but he also realized God had been working even through their wickedness to bring about good, and that ultimately even his being sold into slavery had been part of God's plan.

The best Biblical example of this is of course the cross. Who would deny that the cross was horrific evil? But the Bible makes it clear that God planned that his Son would be slain on the cross from before creation. I'll give you two passages:

"Truly in this city there were gathered together against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, along with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel, to do whatever your hand and your plan had predestined to take place" (Acts 4:27-28).

"All who dwell on earth will worship [the beast], everyone whose name has not been written before the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who was slain" (Revelation 13:8). What you should notice here is that the book was written "before the foundation of the world". What book? The "book of life of the Lamb who was slain". God planned for his Son to die before the foundation of the world.

I'll leave you with a quote from Steve Saint, son of Nate Saint. Are you familiar with the story of Jim Elliot, Nate Saint, Ed McCully, Peter Fleming, and Roger Youderian? They were missionaries in Ecuador and all five of them were killed by the native people there. Steve Saint, decades later, after having learned the details of his father's death from the natives (who went on to accept Christ) came to an amazing conclusion. Here's what he said:

"I think it fit God's plan that all five men died. I know that might offend some who have a narrower opinion of the parameters within which God must operate, but I don't think what happened to my dad and his four friends caught God by surprise. Nor do I think God simply allowed it. No, after learning in detail what happened on January 8, 1956 -- while I was so anxiously waiting to see the speck of my dad's little 56 Henry airplane appear over Penny Ridge -- I believe God was much more involved in what happened than merely failing to intervene...

"There are too many factors that all had to work together to have allowed the events to happen as they did. Too many for me to believe it was just a chance. I have come to the conclusion that God did not look away. He did not simply allow this to happen. I think He planned it. Though this has not been an easy conclusion to come to, I believe it is the right one" (End of the Spear).

There are many other examples that could be given, both Biblical and sources from outside the Bible, but for the sake of keeping my response from growing too large, I will simply point you to the best sermon I have ever heard on this subject:

Answer 9

Actually, your own dogma says god did it, deal with it.

Answer 10

I thought he was in control of everything? And then if something good happens they say praise the lord. You can't have it both ways now.

Answer 11

Because they don't read the bible to find out the truth for themselves.
