if God do everything good then why people blame one for bad things done by him?

Isn't it better to blame God than to take responsibility for your own actions?

I have often wondered why God "lets" things happen.  However, I've thought a lot about it and God doesn't let things happen.  He cannot intervene in our lives other than to give us strength when we need it, along with a host of other virtues to help us through our rough times.  God laid down the law many years ago and stated how things would be and how they would get.  He gave us freewill to make our choices.  God does not make people do bad things, people make choices, good or bad.  He cannot give evidence that he exists.  You have to believe on faith alone, which is why he cannot interfer.  People are people, we sin, and that is why the world is the way it is.  If you believe biblical prophecy, then he will return and take the saints and leave the sinners.

It's a combination of several things; with pride and love of self leading the way.  We don't like being told what to do or worse, that what we're doing is wrong.  We love ourselves and our sin too much to realize that God is holy...therefore, we either ignore Him, blame Him or are merely repulsed by Him.\n\nSadly, it was Him that sent His Son to take the punishment for all of us who are filled with pride and love for ourselves, rather than others.

God can touch or heal according to his will, and often does.\nWe cannot know all things as God does - but he never wills harm to anyone, it is not possible for him because of who he is.\nThe reason we have awful things, wars, hunger, poverty, mental illness - is because we chose to rebel against God, to sin, and we live in the consequences of sin - in a broken world. Again, the terrible things of this world are not God's desire or will.\nHe would not create things to harm them - his way is love, forgives, grace, mercy.

I dont believe that there are things that where never ment to happen cause that would mean that God screwed up and God dont make mistakes... ppl make mistakes. God allows things to happen for a reason... thats to teach us and to help us to follow him. God had everything planned before we where even here... At least thats what i believe

Hi, I don't believe God is a punishing God.  He is a loving God and loves us unconditionally.  I think we do the punishing by feeling guilty for criticizing others and not feeling good about ourselves.  When we are happy, content and feel good about ourselves we don't judge or criticize others.

Good questions!  I like good subjest matter.  God is not some bug eyed monster up in the sky.  Why would he be all hateful when he needs us as much as we need him?  We do have free will, and i can do whatever i want because of it, but heres the rub, i was created by something with a view of the bigger picture.  So by virture of where i was born and my personality there are huge sections of human reality that will never even occur to me to do because of who and what i was made to be. Example : kiss my boyfriend, you betcha!; eat chocolate covered ants, hell no!

I dont. My thing is this...people say "oh he should have been killed in that accident, but god was there to save him and all he got was a broke back and two broke legs" IF there is a god, why didnt he stop the accident in whole? It drives me nuts when people use that as an excuse

NO, God is something that someone made up to give people a reason for things that happen. anything good god did. anything bad the devil did. whatever. Things happen, that's life. I stopped believeing in god and absolutely nothing is different in my life. except for more time on sundays, and no more deciding whether the things i do are "right" in god's eyes. This belief helps keep some people in line. it is all psycological, or in your mind.People think if you don't believe in god you will go to hell. what if you don't believe in hell or satan. will he hate you to? There are all types of religions that do nothing more than give us something to reason with how the world started.

If you're 'not that bad', you don't understand the standard you are being held to. God is PERFECT. ANY deviation from perfection cannot be tolerated, and so anyone that ever did or thought anything wrong can never enter into His Presence.

The answer you'll get from most religious people is that they chose to disobey him. In doing so, they turned against him, and it is their own fault. Or something like that.\n\nWhat I'd really like to know is, if God is all-powerful, and knew what we would do before creating us, and due to the way he created us, is it not he who is ultimately responsible for all of our actions? How can you claim to have free will and at the same time say that all that happens, including all that we do, is part of his divine plan? Moreover, how can one attempt to justify an eternity of any magnitude of suffering as a fitting punishment for any acts committed over a finite period of time?

no, believing or not believing in something like god is neither bad nor good. It's what you do with the belief or disbelief that will determine whether it's a bad thing.

I believe there are several possible explanations for this.  Bad things do not happen to everyone for the same reason.  In one case, it may be a way that God is strengthening the person, or in another, it may be atonement for past karma, or it may be a lesson.  It could be so many different things, and I believe it is important to never point a finger at anyone who is suffering and say, "You've brought this on yourself."  Perhaps they did, but perhaps they didn't.  In any individual case, I don't think we really know.\n\nThere is one major issue here, and that is how do we define "Bad things"?  I have come to believe that events in themselves are neutral.  It is only our interpretation of those events that makes them "good" or "bad."  We can learn a skill of reframing, which is to change our thinking about a matter.  We can choose how we are going to evaluate the event.  Our gut reaction may be to think of it as bad, but you do not have to let the reaction rule over you.  You can find positive ways to look at it.  Of course, sometimes this is easy, and other times, extremely difficult, or maybe even nearly impossible.  But we can find ways of coping nonetheless.\n\nMy father was drafted to go to Vietnam, and before leaving, he took a last ride on his motorcycle.  He wrecked and broke his leg!  This actually prevented him from having to go to Vietnam.  Everytime I see a Vietnam veteran who is struggling with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, I praise God that my dad wrecked that day!\n\nSo, what has helped me more than anything is to say to myself a little Hebrew phrase I learned, "Gam zu letovah."  This means, "This too is for good."  And I have found this to be very good to say.  Even over the little things!  I break a fingernail, and I say, "Gam Zu Letovah."  And if you say this whenever some little annoyance happens, instead of cussing or huffing, you'll be amazed at the end of the day how much better you will feel.\n\n;)

What a sorry way to live life.  If god is so forgiving, he would applaud my free thinking attitude.  My actions in life define myself more than believing is something as ridiculous as a god that kills his own people and then says "thou shall not kill".  There's no reason not to have good morals, regardless of religious faith.  In fact, it seems that religion is inspiring more and more hatred and greed every day!  Those aren't Atheists strapping bombs around their waists and running into a crowd of people.

I think that most Christians are good and do positive things. But then, I think that most people strive to be good and do positive things. We have all sinned and fall short of the Glory of God. No one is perfect.

Romans 8:28, All things work for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose. \n-Because when I enter a problem I know all things will work for the good because I love God and give myself to him.

well according to everyone--- god is everything... god created everything... but they tend to add the word good after the word everything... but some people call sin and lust a good feeling... but as much as I think he is... he probably just tags things that are lustful and sinful. But it's awful mean of him to tempt us into sins and lustful acts.\n\n"Lead me not to temptation, I can find it myself."
