My coworker told me that "My GOD does not have power over my finances" "Only I do" He also said "My God will not be there when something bad happens to me". He also said "My God is a fairy tale". For some reason this hurt my feeling, I wanted to fall on my knees and cry. Then I wanted to stab him. For some reason I took a huge offense. It was like he stabbed me in the heart- . What should I do? I can't find myself to forgive him.

Yes, I take it as an offense but I really shouldn't. The Bible says God laughs at those who curse Him and I suppose I should. You have to forgive him because it is through forgiving others that we can expect forgiveness.

Pray. Pray for him and pray for God to give you the Strength you need to Forgive him. Your Coworker is just a Jerk. Don't let him go under your skin and ask God for Strength of character, Next time that happens You stand up to him, Jerks only understand that.

We are living in a sinful environment & it is common to hear unbelievers cursing God. They do it all the time in the movies, television, media!

As Christians, we learn to forgive such people & pray for them. God can deal with them His way - He is a wise God & He is all-powerful.

Don't make the same mistake as those who think that they can vindicate God's Name by killing those who insult their God or their religion or their prophet.

The Ten Commandments declare, Thou shalt not kill.

The way of forgiveness & tolerance is a better way.

First of all as a Christian you should already know that every thing your co-worker said is a lie and he was just a mouthpiece for the devil to use to lie to you. Your co-worker does not know the Lord and instead of you getting upset with him pray for him because he is speaking like a lost person is suppose to speak. It is wrong for you not to forgive him when God has forgiven you of all your sins. The same God that saved you is the same God that can save him, so forgive him, continue to treat him kindly and respect him because he is a child of the devil and he speaks like one. Ask God to enable you by the Holy Spirit to love your co-worker, not to be angry with him.

I think this is entirely innapropriate, you should not bring religion into the workplace. Many people have different belief systems, and in a worlkplace if you start to discuss religion it is likely someone will get hurt or take offense.

Next time he says anything like this, tell him firmly that this is nor the time or place to discuss this, and that as a Christian (assuming you are christian,) you find this offensive.

God bless!

Well, everyone has their own beliefs. I would just politely and maturely tell him that his words are offensive and that you would really appreciate it if he didn't say those things around you. Or maybe just say something like, "Well, I believe in God. He's brought me this far, and I'm happy where I am. I need His guidance, so..." Just let it trail off. He'll understand your beliefs and if he's respectful, he'll back off with his cursing.

I think you need to realize people have different views about god. God is so controversial because people have emotional attachments to their religion. If you really believe something, it should really bother you. He can say what ever he wants, its his right. You just have to be the bigger person and realize that he has no affect in your life.

I don't personally take offense. Maybe I should. I just wonder if God is angry at the for doing it.

Pray for him and try to have a forgiving spirit towards him. He needs to see the light. If you are mean back to him, how will he ever know the truth?
