Feeling angry with God....

[MorningGlory]

Interesting article.....I've only known one person who was angry with God (that I know about) to the point where he turned to atheism. I don't understand it at all but I know it happens. From Yahoo Health......

The following, from the article, left me totally bewildered....

"Interestingly, those who don't believe in God or question God's existence reported more anger at God than people who said they believed."

I've been angry at God in the past, and it's just as much a sin now as it was then.

For a believer to be angry at God shows a lack of trust in Him. It's saying you don't think God does everything with your best interests at heart.

I think one of the reasons people get mad at God is because they keep hearing from heretical preachers who tell them that once you get saved, all of your problems will get solved; you will be happy, healthy and rich. And when that doesn't happen, they resent God for not "delivering the goods."

I agree wyguy, God knows what is best for us. I wouldn't say most believers are angry with God when things might not be go their way. It shows how mature we are as Christian when what we want doesn't happen, because God has other plans for us. Yes we might be disappointed, but we know it is God's will and we accept it and we put our disappointment behind us because we know God loves us. Instead of a believer being angry, I would say they are having a very humbling time in their life. If a believer is angry with God, I would advise him/her to do some praying to get their thoughts in order.

I can understand a believer feeling abandoned or forsaken by the Lord although none of us should ever doubt Him. We are, unfortunately, fallible mortals. I don't understand how nonbelievers can be angry at God; after all they don't believe He exists. Does this show evidence of mental illness or faulty reasoning or......what?

Yes Ive been angry at God.

Yes I knew then and know now that I was in sin. I also immediately repented and asked Him to help me overcome that anger.

Being angry at God is absolutely a wrong attitude to take.

Rom 1:20

20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse,

NKJV

God is saying because they are in My creation they know... so when they say they don't believe there is a God they are lying! We will see everyone bend their knee and confess that this is true to the glory of God!!! Love Steven

I wonder if that's why so many nonbelievers show up here? I've asked one after another why they bother to argue and rail against something they claim doesn't exist. All I've ever gotten out of any of them is 'I'm bored' or 'I just like to debate'. I've never believed any of that.

That is exactly the Spiritual wonder of God ... his truth is the righteousness of judgement! AND

We are some seed throwing people! Love Steven
