People Blaming God



I have been told by some of hearing a number of people “blaming God “for various things that brings to mind that these individuals might confess to be a Christian, listen to their pastor each week and then live their lives as they want to during the week and not following the Way of Life that our Lord, Jesus taught us by His words and life example.  When you hear someone say this, it shows that they are ignorant of the scriptures.  We suffer mainly because of our own actions.  People will blame God before they will blame Satan for the bad things that happen.  We know that Satan is out to destroy Christians and he is like a lion.  Satan is the god of this world and we receive his broadcast every day.  We know God does not temp anyone, but Satan does.  People will ignore warning signs of things that could happen.  Did we teach our children to stay out of the street so a car will not hit them?  Did we stop smoking so we will not have cancer?

There is one place where we can bring judgment upon ourselves is during the Passover service.  Paul tells us in 1 Cor 11:28. Paul tells us that a man ought to examine himself before he eats of the bread and drinks of the cup.  For anyone who eats and drinks without recognizing the body of the Lord eats and drinks judgment on himself.  That is why many among you are weak and sick, and a number of you have fallen asleep.  But if we judged ourselves, we would not come under judgment.

Paul tells us that this is why many Christians among ourselves are weak and sick and have died.  Sobering words.  It is how we take of the bread and wine and not because we need it.  Thanks for the thoughts.

Stephen

(Mat 5:45 NIV)  that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.

(James 1:13-16 NIV)  When tempted, no one should say, "God is tempting me." For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; {14} but each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed. {15} Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death. {16} Don't be deceived, my dear brothers.
