Liz Well, I can only answer that from my own experience, but hard times can lead one to irrational behaviour. I know...I was very foolish I guess I just gave into my flesh in a moment of frustration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think God prefers our honesty, or our respect? yes, i think He understands when we get angry at Him. I tell Him how I feel. For instace one day I was driving in my car, and I said, "God I don't understand why blah blah blah...I am so mad at you....blah blah blah...but I DO know one thing, Your ways are higher than mine, your thoughts are higher than mine, so help me get through this." the blahs were the personal stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lovinghim4ever Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 Do you think that it's okay to get angry with God? Do you think God prefers our honesty, or our respect? Yes, I believe it is okay to get angry with God, but we should not let that anger turn to bitterness. I believe being honest with God is showing Him respect, because He knows everything anyway. Why disrespect Him by trying to hide anything from Him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think God prefers our honesty, or our respect? 1)No. 2)Yes. It's not "okay" to get angry with God but we, as humans go, sometimes do. It's still a sin(particularly the "cussing God" part). As far as "God prefers", I like His conversation here with Abraham and the patience He showed towards him. Genesis 18:17-33 17) Then the LORD said, "Shall I hide from Abraham what I am about to do? 18) Abraham will surely become a great and powerful nation, and all nations on earth will be blessed through him. 19) For I have chosen him, so that he will direct his children and his household after him to keep the way of the LORD by doing what is right and just, so that the LORD will bring about for Abraham what he has promised him." 20) Then the LORD said, "The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin so grievous 21) that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not, I will know." 22) The men turned away and went toward Sodom, but Abraham remained standing before the LORD. 23) Then Abraham approached him and said: "Will you sweep away the righteous with the wicked? 24) What if there are fifty righteous people in the city? Will you really sweep it away and not spare the place for the sake of the fifty righteous people in it? 25) Far be it from you to do such a thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ANGRY AS CAIN? Cain had a problem with anger. It wasn't that he got angry. God didnt warn him because he got angry; God warned him because he stayed angry. The incident that provoked Cain's anger occurred during a worship service. The brothers met to offer sacrifice's to God. Cain broght an assortnment of farm goods as an offerring; Abel presented an offerring of special value. Cain did his duty; Abel gave his best. God was pleased with Abel's offerring, but rejected cains. The older brother was furious. Cain's original anger actually represented a positive response. But the anger missed its target. Cain should have been furious with himself. Instead, Cains anger became a deadly weapon looking for a new target. At that point, God intervened. He corrected Cain's misplaced anger and offerred him another opportunity; "If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin lies at the door. and its desire is for you, but you should rule over it." (Gen. 4:7) Adam's first born opened the door for sin. Cain got angry at God and took it out on his younger brother Abel.Anger became murderous jealousy. soon, Abel lay dead in a field. Killing his brother did little for Cain's anger. When God approached him, Cain denied knowing or caring where his brother might be. He resented the consequences of his sin. Cain displayed no remorse or repentance. He became stuck in his anger. As Cain demonstrates, anger must be ruled over or it will rule. Uncontrolled anger quickly becomes a destructive tyrant. When we invite God to help us identify the causes of our anger and take corrective measures, anger can become a servant rather than a master in our lives. Gods word gives powerful counsel when it notes, " Be angry , and do not sin." (Eph. 4:26) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think God prefers our honesty, or our respect? It isn't an issue of ok or not ok. The fact is that we do get angry, well I do for sure. Once we are angry, it is quite clear that God knows about it and that we shouldn't be foolish enough to even try hiding it from Him. My daughter told me she was so angry with God one day, she threw her sandels at Him There was one time I was so angry I asked God to get out of my life You know what? He did! At least that is what He allowed me to feel.... 7-8 seconds later I was on my knees begging Him to come back. He did this too !! All I can say is Thank You God !
