GOD IS NOT TO BLAME-THE CHOICE IS YOURS
Some people blame God when a tragedy happens and many also assume that He is the one responsible for sending people to hell as well & to say this would opposite of His nature. God gives each man a free will to choose what he wants to believe and do. When things happen like 9/11 we tend to ask God where was God when this happened or how could He let this happen? You know the normal human questions we all have asked at one time or another. We ask these questions as if we were in a higher moral position than God. Like you would never have let a bad thing happen to any human being and that we would have prevented the tragedy from happening altogether.
We disregard God in good times and yet think He is obligated to provide help when bad times come. LOL . I found this quote from Dr. Walter Martin…..Don’t call into question God’s attributes of mercy and compassion. Call into question the mess that we made of the earth in which we live. When God created it, it wasn’t intended to be this way. The beauty that’s in the world was God’s idea. The mess was ours. And now, when we look around and see a world cursed by sin, and we see judgment in that world……we blame God. Maybe, just maybe, there is a connection between the horrible things that happen and our blatant rejection of God. Now remember He gave us free will. We are responsible but yet we blame God for this. We think God is evil and that way we can question God’s love and fairness.
We then think hey there is no way that could be a hell and its absolutely stupid to think there are demons and that they can influence our thoughts. Well, let me enlighten you on that fact. Satan influence Eve in the garden so if satan can do that on God territory, so to speak, then he can do it today as well. (Gen. 3:4) Satan lied to get Adam and Eve to fell for his plan. Satan put doubt into Eve’s mind. Billy Graham say that satan lied saying God doesn’t know what He is talking about. See satan works this way he puts doubt into our minds about God and it’s deadly to doubt the Word of God. Eve has a conversation with satan and this is a dangerous thing to do and satan works this way also. If he can get you to have a conversation with him then he can lead you into a wrong decision.
Let’s say I asked you over to a cookout and I had some guard dogs in a kennel out back. I told you please don’t go near the kennels or go into the kennels as there are dangerous dogs in there. I have even posted signs everywhere on the kennel and the path leading up to it. I don’t even want you to think about going out there but you think hey, I know a lot about dogs and I have never met a dog that didn’t love me. So you decide to open the kennel door and you die. It wasn’t my will that you die or my desire that you die. I didn’t “send” you to your death. It’s the same with God. He doesn’t want anyone to perish. (2 Peter 3:9) Just because it is God’s will for you to receive eternal life and not perish doesn’t mean you’ll listen to Him and make that choice.
