Anger at God

[Christina2000]

This interests me. I have known people who were Christians who gave up going to church or even believing at all because of suffering bereavement or other serious bad fortune.
Others are unbelievers because they think God is cruel for allowing suffering and death. Still others are atheists who blame God for the evil in this world.
The most intriguing to me are the people who believe God singled them out to be bereaved.

All the above are surely due to faulty logic in my view.
God never promised anyone an easy life free of illness and death. Human bodies are not immortal. God does not deliberately kill anyone. He is not the one doing evil - that is down to our free will and propensity towards sin.

When a person sits there blaming God for their grief because their elderly relative has died or similar, I feel like saying well do you expect a life with no disease and death?

God is our source of love and strength most especially at times of trouble. Often our only source. I believe He is the Lord of pure love, never of anything bad. So I lean so heavily on Him especially as people always let me down sooner or later. God never changes, He is always good. Life is unpredictable without guarantee of happiness.

So why be angry at Him?

 

[Rhema]

God never promised anyone an easy life free of illness and death.

And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's, But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, in the midst of persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life.​

(Mark 10:29-30 KJV)​

Rhema

 

[Neyra]

You know, because He lets all the wrong things happen to little children to. What did they do wrong? And that affects their future life. Their whole life, their leaning towards bad things, towards hatred, towards the Devil.

He protects only his people. Nor the people before becoming Christians, nor the backslidden Christians. Never been so angry at God in past before. I know He doesn't do Evil, but why He does permitt such unjustice?

 

[Rhema]

You know, because He lets all the wrong things happen to little children too.

He doesn't.

We do.

But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.​

(Acts 1:8 KJV)​

I hope you visit at least one of the churches I sent to you. (And I hope they have power there.)

Rhema

but why He does permitt such unjustice?

They provoked him to jealousy with strange gods, with abominations provoked they him to anger. They sacrificed unto devils, not to God; to gods whom they knew not, to new gods that came newly up, whom your fathers feared not.​

(Deuteronomy 32:16-17 KJV)​
