Is it a sin to disagree with some of the things god has done?
I personally think it was shady of his behalf to not warn adam and eve about a snake that would try to tempt them. I think its wrong he tried to handicap them(keep them ignorant about right and wrong). Not to mention I thought it was wrong of him to send Jesus to sacrifice himself simply because nobody believed in god. That's ignoring how he had to empregnate Mary who already had a boyfriend instead of somebody else. And also lets not forget all the innocent animals that died during the flood.
So if I believed all of that stuff happened but I thought it was wrong, then am I gonna go to hell for that? Or do I also have to think what he did was right?

If you believed in your heart that He sent His Son from heaven to die on a cross for your sins, you would no longer be questioning Him, but you would realize the shortcoming is not with God, but with your own understanding.
If you have not yet been born again through faith in the sacrifice of Christ, you are not His, but you are still a rebel.

From the top ...
God had a much bigger warning for Adam and Eve than a snake will tempt you. God said if you eat the fruit you will surely die. And they still ate!
God did not send Jesus to die. Jesus did it of His own free will. His sacrifice would have been in vain otherwise.
God had to spiritually impregnate Mary in order to break the bond of sin passed down to every succeeding generation since Adam and Eve.
Innocent animals die every day. So do innocent people. We live in a lousy world.
You go to hell for refusing to accept Jesus' sacrifice on the cross. If you don't need God then He certainly doesn't need you.

Just because you disagree with the way God chose to do things does not make you going to hell. The only way you will go to hell is if you refuse Christ's sacrifice for your sins on the cross. You must also take into consideration that you are not perfect and your ways are not perfect. God is perfect and thus cannot make mistakes. Even though you may not understand His reasoning behind what happened, does not make Him any less good, or any less God.

It is certainly not a sin to have questions or doubts about your understanding of Bible teachings. However, instead of writing off what you don't understand as unbelievable, why not research and find out why some of those things took place?
For example, the Bible does not teach that Jesus sacrificed himself because nobody believed in God...he did this because man needed a legal redemption from the sin passed down from Adam. (Romans 5:19, 1Cor.15:21,22) Jesus had a choice in this matter. He, like his Father, loved humans and wanted to give them opportunity to excercise faith in God's arrangement for salvation. (John 3:16) That's just the short answer, the Bible provides many more reasons for this.
If you are concerned about your eternal salvation, I would encourage you to get the "why's" answered... Why did God allow Adam and Eve to be tempted? Why was Mary chosen, and did she have a say in her situation? Etc.... Be sure to look for answers from the Bible. 2 Timothy 3:16, 17 states that "All scripture is inspired of God and beneficial for teaching...for setting things straight". The reasons are there for those who care enough to look for them. Above all, pray to God to help you find the answers!

No. What is sin?
The mighty & loving God is needed badly on earth to clear all the unfair & disastrous on earth.
If the nature was created by God. Why followers of God who pray day & night, calling the mighty name & asking for forgiveness are full of greed, hatred & delution. They fight for money, power & credit in all sort of ways.
I personally think we will leave in our peaceful or heavenly world if we avoid all evil deeds.

I think it is time like this that god thinks to himself "Damn it that free will!"
If god exists he's q wanker. I'd prefer to be tortured for eternity than to just lie there, with ethernal orgasmic happiness forever with my family staring at jesus christ with his smile.
At least there's something different happening everytime in Hell. You get to experience different kinds of deaths and pains. Something you can't do on Earth.

Yes , it is a sin, you are defying the God of the Universe, do you think He would take it lightly ???
To be more clear about it, it is the sin of pride, thinking that you know things better than God . Lucifer was kicked out of heaven for the same sin by the same God.

It proves you have never repented and are still an enemy of God in your thinking.
If you believed the Gospel with your heart, you would never entertain an evil thought against Him any omre.

It's really kind of creepy to see how many responses here basically amount to "Shut up, you. Stop asking questions or you'll go to Hell!"

It becomes much clearer when your not judging God and begin receiving revelation from him.
If for a moment people simply stopped judging God as if they had some ability to judge that they didn't receive from him then they might receive revelation.
Seek God's truth and you will receve revealtion and understand that what is happening to man is a blessing from God who foreknew man would sin before he created him and who has a plan of salvation for him to bring him to his righteousness.

God knew Adam's nature and it is God's plan to change man through his heart not by the law... Suppose Adam had not been tempted and did not eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil...wouldn't Adam's nature remained the same?
regardlsss of whether or not man sinned his nature was to sin and through sin God revealed to man his need for God.
your comment

Man was not ignorant before the tree of knowledge of good and evil. There are two trees in the midst of the garden.
These are more than trees they represent spiritual things.
These two trees represent Gods two natures.
God's rigteouness The Tree of knowledge of good and evil
God's mercy The tree of life.
The tree of knowledge of good and evil represents his law.
The tree of life represents salvation.
When man was warned not to eat of the tree he was told in that day he would surely die.
Why would such a good tree cause a man to die?
Man could not live up to God's righteousness (the law)
The tree of life was also in the garden. Eat of this tree and man would live forever.
This is tree represents salvation the manna from heaven our savior Jesus Christ.
This story shows mans fall from God's glory and God's plan to bring man to his righteousness and eternal life with him.
If a man would first seek God's truth he would not need to judge a righteous God and would know that anything within him he deems is good and worthy of judging anything comes from God. How could a creation judge the one who created him? Any righteousness we think we have came from God.
We are not righteous but God is total righteousness and he paid the penalty for our sin with his righteous flesh.
How can we know God if we first consider him unworthy?
These vain thoughts that you claim are not in themselves sending you to hell they are preventing you from knowing God and knowing his gift that he wants to freely give to you which is salvation from that hell.
