It's said whatever we do, god gets it done by us. It's also said god punishes us for our wrong deeds. Why?

It is not true that whatever we do, God gets it done by us.\nU don't see God Gave us free will But also Showed the right path...\n\nSo whatever we do is our own deeds.. If we do good, God is happy with us,\n& if we do bad deeds, God Obviously will punish!\n\n\nJust take this example..\nGod is our Creater...\nSimilarly A person or an electronics company creates a TV or VCR of DVD Player...\n\nSO ..\nThe company give an instruction manual with its product..\njust like God sent us to this world with Bible/ Quran etc..\n\nNow see!\nWhen the VCR does not work properly, we take it to a repair shop, if it does not still work properly, we throw it in trash...\nTHIS is a punishment for the VCR...\nSimilarly, when we dont follow the instructions from GOD, God will punish us.

God would never command such a sinful act that pleases you so selfishly from His people.\n\nPeace.

We are all inperfect due to inherited sin, so it is actually obvious that we all make many mistakes, it is a real struggle to do things the right way, but we can prevail, if we LEAN on God, repent, and trust that if we keep trying, God will see that. The thing is with humans is that we are such weak creatures that we often take a long time to learn even the simplest of lessons, more important than being successful, is TRYING to be successful, and never forget God knows our limitations, he knows us better than we know ourselves. People could also try praying when they FEEL temptation to do something wrong, and not just praying after we have made the mistake. God will give strength and power beyond what is normal to peiple if they are sincerely trying to do what is right.

We think we can defy God and ignore His ways and then we wonder why things don't go well. All we have to do is follow His ways.

Because we know that the rain falls on the just and the unjust.  (Matthew 5:45)\n\nBeing a Christians doesn't mean that bad things don't happen to you.  But it does mean that God will help you deal with what happens.  He is there in our trials with us.

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.

Its in our nature to blame others for things we go through especially when that someone is  God. You need to learn to control your anger. Trust God when you go through trials. When you lose control of a situation let him have control. Some times things wont go the way we want it to and you need to except that fact and move on with life.

I cannot agree more, we are, since the beginning of time, have been sinning against God the Father.  Its how we are made.  With our own free will.  The self is always fighting for supremacy than be subjected to a higher one, in this case, the laws and guidelines in life found in the Bible.  It is really a difficult struggle and only if one surrenders himself to the will of God can he win over selfish desires and sins to a life leading to God.

If God is, God allowed for all types of people, on and beyond this Earth.\nEither it was Gods intention, or God is forever making huge mistakes.

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?

I know it doesn't seem to be fair,i used to think like you,why some "bad" people are happier and have more money than some real nice ones,but i've learned in my church that God doesn't punish us in this life for our mistakes,but that happens when we die.\nso as long as we're alive we have the chance to go back to him and ask for forgiveness,there is no revenge by God!\nweird huh?do you hear that it rains on the good and the bad people?that's what it means.\nI hope u find this useful somehow.\nGod Bless you...

I believe we are all given free will.  God's desire is for us to have a relationship with him and to follow him.  However, the Bible says that every inclination of man's heart is evil. (Gen. 6:5)  As we know Him more, study His Word, pray, and through the Holy Spirit, our hearts can change.  However, we will never be "perfect".  This is why He sent His son, Jesus.  \n\nI do not believe God "makes" bad things happen.  But I do believe he can use those things to teach us, draw us back to Him, and to draw those who don't know Him at all to Him.\n\nI have a 2 year old son.  Yesterday, I was walking with him and he fell and hurt his knee.  I was right there, but I didn't catch him before he hit the ground.  But, I picked him up, took care of him, kissed him and held him while he cried.  That's what our Father does for us.  This world (until Christ's return) belongs to Satan, but God is always with us.

God only put us here to be toys of amusement for him. He enjoys watching people suffer. Just think about it for a minute...supposedly he is all-powerful, all-knowing, all-...whatever. Yet he allows this world to be infested with disease, famine, war, death, and horrors beyond imagination. Now, how can you call a god who does all these things loving and expect him to do anything for you. People who always turn to god to help them in their struggles are just trying to find someone else to fix their mistakes. They can't handle the fact that their god probably doesn't like them. God allows all these atrocities on earth to occur and doesn't lift a finger. The question you should really be asking is "Why do I worship a god that does not care?" God did not give us free will. And as far as free will in the respect to god goes, if it had not been for Satan, we would all be wandering around in complete servitude without even realizing we were slaves. By tempting Eve to eat that apple, if you believe the story, he gave us the ability to realize our slavery. Furthermore, anyone who says that we have free will given by god should examine their religion further. How can it be free will when he says that to disobey him will result in a tormenting eternity of fire and brimstone? Are these really choices...slavery or fire? I will thank God for nothing. My thanks go to the god of the underworld for giving me the knowledge to know these lies as they are.

God lets people make choices, this allows us to be human and not robots.  Ultimately, some people will make the wrong choices.

Someone is punished for the wrong he did and that is punishment.If you are punished and you die in the cause of the punishment, you must have merited it.\n   On the other hand if God allow you to be passing through some difficulties we can call it trials.God may do that to see how much you love Him or He may do that to glorify His name at the end. The point here is that if you remain faithful to God until you die in that situation, that is not punishment.Look at the trials Job had in the Bible. His wife even asked him to curse God and die but he refused and said it is God that gave and He has taken back. Look at what happened to him at the end. You see how God showed his power? If you do not know the story read Job.\nI live in Cameroon, the neighbour to Nigeria.

Punishment?  Are you referring to the results of one's own actions?  If so, the punishment if of one's ownself, rather than from God.   However, if one should seek God's  guidance before making choices then there may not be a 'punishment' to be considered.  God is very real!

Some people do it to deflect from their own failures and shortcomings. Not all though blame their God for it.
