Does God keep a record of all our wrong doings?

If there is a sentient, benevolent, omnipotent being out there I'd like to think it has better things to do than to worry about a checklist of do's and don'ts for billions of little scuttling life-forms on one little planet way out on the western spiral arm of the galaxy.\n\nYou are accountable for your own actions.  Those actions have repercussions.  You reap what you sow, as it were... though that speaks more of karma than of judging God.  Anyway.  I suggest you keep your own record and take care of things the best way you can, as it seems highly unlikely anyone else is going to do it for you.  ;)

Of course we do, especially if one is a CHRISTIAN, as your name implies.  Remembering important events in history will help us when we read the Bible and see foretold prophesies coming true in this time if the end.

The best way to handle this is to say, yes, I did this, yes it was wrong, if that's what you believe, which you must if you feel guilty, and then realize that people make mistakes. If you can apologize and rectify it, do so. If not, well, people are human. Only God is perfect.

God actually has spoiled us rotten. We've come to expect that if we make a mess, someone else will clean it up. Faith is good......but come on folks; we can't always feel entitled just 'cause someone sacrificed themselves for us. That doesn't mean He's not going to one day get pissy with us and just say to "hell" with it all! So let's get our act together and play nice and show Him we can behave. Who knows, if we do... we might get dessert. :)

This is a common religious practice known as "selective observation." People who are religious will count good things that happen in the world as proof of God's existence, while either ignoring the bad, or passing it along to another (god-created) source.

The thing to remember, sweetie, is that not even God (or your representation of God) can change the past. And if God can't, you can't either. What you CAN do is realize that you have control of the present and the future. You can't undo it, but you can work to make it better.\n\nPeace.

Yes we are to blame, whether you believe in God or not, we still have the capacity to make decisions, and depending on the answers we give, the solutions we use, or the actions we take. Our contributions either have a positive effect or negative effect on others. The Bible (Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth) gives us guidlines that show us how to help and care for one another. Again whether one believes in God or not, we know that murder is wrong, we know that stealing is wrong, we know that doing these things will cause someone to suffer. So if we know these things will cause someone else to suffer and we still do them how can we blame God? Especially if you don't believe in him?

God does not forgive us before we make mistakes.  He has already provided the way by which we can be redeemed -through Christ.  The forgiveness comes only after we repent and do what we can to correct what we have done wrong.  Without repentance, there is a very real reason to fear Hell.

NO!!! As Christians, we are called to be a light to the world. We should correct people when we feel they are doing wrong. We should not be forced to tolerate unacceptable behavior. I hope someday we will all see this...\n\nIf you ask a question on this site, most people are looking for honest answers. Give it to them. Be honest. I am so sick of doing nothing. America needs a wake-up call....

Since I don't understand why a lot of things happen in this world, it is good to know that there is a God who does.  My faith lies in the belief that God will take care of everything according to his perfect timing.\n\nFaith is not something you are to prove with concrete evidence.  So often we want scientific data to back-up the existence of God.  Jesus told us we are to have a child-like faith.\n\nTrust in God.  Ask him to increase your faith.

does not seem to matter what we do or say-when or where-we will always be wrong

given the chance to fix one thing in my life, it would be ALL the wrongdoings i have made. but then, if i have been perfect all my life, what's the use of living this life and learning from our own mistakes? those mistakes in the past contributed to the person that we are now. things happen for a reason regardless if it is intentional or not. the best thing to do is to learn from one's mistake and continue living for the better, not for the worst.

Call me crazy but I don't think it's "logical" to ask why God did anything.  I don't feel we should live our lives asking questions as to why "Creator" did this or that.  We should simply be thankful for all that we have.  If someone is truly thankful the questions will no longer exist...:)>

Each of us are judged on what we did with the time, health and wealth that God blessed us with. If we had a hand in harming our environment, we will be judged accordingly, and if we did our best to help our environment, we will be judged accordingly. No one will have to worry about being held accountable for another's sins, and no one but you can account for your own self.

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.

That depends on what you mean by your question.\n\nAre you asking specifically about things God has done or things that happen.\n\nIf you believe that everything that happens is God's work, then NO.\n\nAbsolutely not.  As for specific works of God, you would need to be specific.  I would need to know what works you are attributing to God to comment on them.

Does this fall into the category of "why do bad things happen to good people"?  I understand your question completely and have asked that same question myself.  In time you come to accept what happens, good and bad, as out of your hands.  Everything in life is a lesson and we just have to try to see what it is that God is trying to get us to learn.  I don't question God's wisdom, I just ask him to help me see what it is he trying to teach me.  Maybe those people who cannot have children are there to make a home for those children who do not have parents.  Trust in God's wisdom, his will is always done.  Accept what he gives you and learn from it.  This may not answer your question, but it is the best explanation I can give you.
