If you are an amputee because of diabetes, whose fault is it that you are an amputee?

Question

Shouldn't you of monitered your diabetes better? Do you blame God for making you a diabetic, when you yourself had have to power to control your diabities and to make sure it doesn't get out of hand.

Well you can say that God gave us sugarfree candy and even sugar free bakeries. I'm not diabetic, but that is quite tasty.

I am fully aware of what causes diabetes and plenty of people have problems with it because they are non compliant. Sure it must be hard, but even doctors will state that a patient is a non compliant.

Did I say John Lemmon? Nope, work on your insecurity?

2 types, NOOOO really?

I have an aunt who just lost a leg to being non compliant. She didn't moniter herself. Love her, but that is the truth.

Dlin, since it is the year 2007 and we have testing, support groups, sugar free products I didn't think I should have to include people that had diabetes 100years ago.

Non compliance is a problem.

Answer 1

I smoke cigarettes. If I get lung cancer, it's because of my own stupidity. I can not blame God for my poor choice, likewise, I can not pray for healing of an aliment if I smoke now can I? We all have to do our part before God can do His.

Answer 3

losing a limb due to complications from diabetes is not simply about monitoring your condition, infections can get in the blood stream, and center in an area of the body, simply due to the diabetes, it over the years can effect all the body systems, even with close monitoring,
so i find your statement totally lacking knowledge, and lacking compassion for those who suffer from this life long disease
if God created everything, then yes God created this condition, and also the minds that have found ways to help people survive with this condition
ps: and what about not that long ago, when there was no testing or monitoring? people died from diabetes, was that of their own doing? their fault?
ahh, but you did not say " if you are a non-complaint amputee", you addressed them all!!

Answer 4

I don't know who or why you are trying to make people feel guilty for having diabetes, but you need to learn more about it. I know people who monitored all day, ate like rabbits, yet still had a problem. Diabetes cannot always be controlled--sometimes it goes its own way and causes destruction within the body.

The last thing people with diseases need is for self-righteous people to be blaming them for their own disease. If you don't actually KNOW that is the case, then find it in your heart to stay quiet around them.

Answer 5

I'm stepped on a land-mine, you blockhead. Fighting for my country, in god we trust. I don't blame him, I thought he could grow me just a toe since he can perform so many humungus of a miracle. In this case, he's just pathetic.
But when you become an amputee because of your own indiscipline, then you tell me the answer to your question.

Answer 6

Is God to Blame?

There are many people in the world who feel that somehow God is to blame for the plight of the human family. They may feel that when God made the first man he knew what the outcome would be and, for that reason, the sin, suffering, wars and death that overwhelm humankind are a part of his will. When death takes a loved one, they resignedly say, "It is the will of God." And many calamities are termed "acts of God." But the Bible clearly shows that God is not to blame.

Having created the earth and the plant and animal life upon it, Jehovah God specially beautified a portion of it in Eden, and in these delightful surroundings he placed Adam and his lovely wife Eve. They were perfect, the crowning earthly creation of God, all of whose activity is perfect. "After that," the inspired account relates, "God saw everything he had made and, look! it was very good."-Gen. 1:31.

The same is true today when homes are broken by divorce and delinquency. God is not to blame. His will is expressed in the Bible. When it is followed, 'wives are in subjection to their husbands,' 'husbands keep on loving their wives,' and together they bring up their children in "the discipline and authoritative advice of Jehovah." To those who listen to God's counsel, family life is a source of rich blessing and deep satisfaction.-Col. 3:18-21; Eph. 6:4.

Nor was the destruction of an estimated 10,000,000 human lives by the fifty-seven nations participating in combat in World War II God's doing. To the contrary, it was a violation of His declaration of the sanctity of human life. So with sin and death; God is not to blame. The Scriptures make clear that, not as a result of what God has done, but "through one man [Adam] sin entered into the world and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men because they had all sinned."-Gen. 9:4-6; Rom. 5:12.

In Eden it was the Devil that led off in rebellion against God, and man followed. So today it is Satan the Devil "who is misleading the entire inhabited earth," and man has followed in blaming God for all distress and in ignoring His Word, the Bible.-Rev. 12:9.

Almighty God is the Author of "every good gift and every perfect present." He lovingly gave the first man a perfect start in a paradise home. When man sinned, God's goodness did not cease. He mercifully made provision for those of the human family yet to be born to have opportunity to gain what Adam lost. By means of His kingdom, for which all Christians pray, he will see that those evildoers, including the Devil himself, who are to blame for the woes of man will be cut off. "But the meek ones themselves will possess the earth and they will indeed find their exquisite delight in the abundance of peace."-Jas. 1:17; Ps. 37:9-11.

Answer 7

No god to blame. How clumsy a designer to come up with an autoimmune disorder that attacks your pancreas.

And what if this happens to you some day?

Will you call it a Free Will Amputation?

Answer 8

There is more than one type of diabetes nitwit. One, is largely due to lifestyle. The other is due to genetics, and it is entirely possible to be born with it. And we won't even get in to gestational diabetes, which crops up even in the healthiest eaters.

Answer 9

If god is real then god should have saved the limb of the amputee. After all god is an all-loving god right?

Answer 10

Interesting question.

This is the same question that we have about choosing Christ or rejecting Him.

We ARE responsible for our own action!
