Anger At God Is Foolish

Anger at God?

Is is alright to be angry at God? Someone was angry with me at the suggestion that it was sin to be angry with God.

Angry at the God that gave you life?

Angry at the God who knows all things perfectly and has never sinned?

Angry at the God who destroyed Sodom because of its' sin?

Angry at the God who parted the sea for His people to cross?

Angry at the God who knows you better than you know yourself?

Amazing arrogance it is to even entertain thoughts of anger toward an all knowing perfect and righteous God!!!!

Hebrews 10:31 "It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God."

The idea that we can be angry with God comes from psychology, borne out of the rebellion of the sixties. Unfortunately this same mentality has spawned the attitude toward all authority in our families.

Since we think we can be angry with God and get away with it, we must also think that we can display anger at other authorities over us that were ordained of God, our parents, our teachers, law enforcement.

If we cannot respect the authority and teaching of those we can see how would we ever be able to respect and obey a God we cannot see.

The god of this age is a god on the same level as human beings and animals. He is no more than a figment of our imagination based on our own selfish bias. This god has no more power or authority than a dead idol.

Anger at the Living God, a preposterous idea, foolish and dangerous!!!

Titus 2:11-14
"11 For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men,

12 teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age,

13 looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ,

14 who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works."

1 Thessalonians 1
"1 Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy,

To the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ:

Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.[a]

Their Good Example

2 We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers,

3 remembering without ceasing your work of faith, labor of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ in the sight of our God and Father,

4 knowing, beloved brethren, your election by God.

5 For our gospel did not come to you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit and in much assurance, as you know what kind of men we were among you for your sake.

6 And you became followers of us and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Spirit,

7 so that you became examples to all in Macedonia and Achaia who believe.

8 For from you the word of the Lord has sounded forth, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place. Your faith toward God has gone out, so that we do not need to say anything.

9 For they themselves declare concerning us what manner of entry we had to you, and how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God,

10 and to wait for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead, even Jesus who delivers us from the wrath to come."
