When you thank some one for something. How do you thank them without giving away Gods credit. Cause God should have credit for all things. So if you say thank you and if it wasn't for you this might not happened. Is that giving someone credit for Gods glory. So how do you give thanks to the person who was there at right time. Will God forgive you if you thank someone the wrong way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will God forgive you if you thank someone the wrong way.God understands you better than you understand yourself, so He will certainly not make it an issue of "forgiveness" if your thanksgiving was a little awkward. God wants us to thank others sincerely and that does not detract from thanks to God. See Romans 16:1-26. Notice verse 3-4: "Greet Priscilla and Aquila my helpers in Christ Jesus: Who have for my life laid down their own necks: unto whom not only I give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles."But if you need to be scrupulous about this there is nothing wrong with saying "Thanks ever so much for_____, and at the same time I would like to thank God for enabling you to do_____".

Will God forgive you if you thank someone the wrong way. In my country and tribe (Nigeria - Yoruba tribe), you are responsible to thank a person who has done good to you... and the responsibility of the person to say something like "oh, no... all thanks to God". We often say "He who has learnt how to say thank you for the good done yesterday, is paving a way for more good tomorrow". And we also have a way of continuous thank yous.. lol... this means, a person does something good today, you say "thank you so much"... tomorrow, or any other day you see the person, it is customary for us to say "thank you for the other day" or "thank you for yesterday" as the case may be... And so, i don't think God will be offended by you thanking another human... i mean, its not like you're saying... thank you so much, may all the glory be yours (to the person)... Yes, God is a jealous God... yet, he sees your heart, and understands that you're only showing appreciation to the person for allowing himself/herself to be used of God for you at that particular time... On the other hand, if in your heart you know you are changing focus from God's goodness to human goodness, then you need to repent of that...
