This SBT Page is For-Blaming GOD-What are YOU blaming GOD for today?
GOD does permit wickedness, and
millions on earth willfully make a practice of it. For instance, they declare
wars, drop bombs on children, scorch the earth, and cause famines. Millions
smoke and get lung cancer, practice adultery and get sexually transmitted
diseases, use alcohol to excess and get cirrhosis of the liver, and so on. Such
people do not truly want all wickedness stopped.
They
only want the penalties for it eliminated. When they reap what they have sown, they cry out,
"Why me?"
And
they blame God, as Proverbs
19:3 -says: "A man's own folly wrecks his life, and then he
bears a grudge against the LORD."
(The New English Bible)
The foolishness of man ruins his way, And his heart rages against the LORD.
And if GOD stopped their
evildoing, they would protest their loss of freedom to do it! Compare FREEasGOD.htm

Is God to Blame?
There are many people in the world who
feel that somehow God is to blame for the plight of the human family. They may
feel that when God made the first man he knew what the outcome would be and,
for that reason, the sin, suffering, wars and death that overwhelm humankind
are a part of his will. When death takes a loved one, they resignedly say, “It
is the will of God.” And many calamities are termed “acts of God.” But the
Bible clearly shows that God is not to blame.
Having created the earth and the plant and
animal life upon it, JOrY-God specially beautified a portion
of it in
Every provision was made to supply the
needs of man. Surrounded as he was with these loving provisions of his heavenly
Father, man was given the opportunity to demonstrate his appreciation for them
by willing obedience. “And Jehovah God also laid this command upon the man:
‘From every tree of the garden you may eat to satisfaction. But as for the tree
of the knowledge of good and bad you must not eat from it, for in the day you
eat from it you will positively die.’” (Gen. 2:16, 17) But Adam did eat of it,
and he died. Does that not prove that man was imperfect? One who is perfect
cannot do wrong, some may reason.
It is true that when the United States Air
Force launched its Pioneer rocket from
However, man was not made like a rocket,
with electronic controls by which the Almighty would move him and guide his
course. He was not a robot, mechanically efficient but devoid of sensibility.
Man had the divine gift of free will. Therefore, at a later date Joshua could
say: “Now if it is bad in your eyes to serve Jehovah, choose for yourselves
today whom you will serve.” (Josh. 24:15) Had man, endowed with free will, been
unable to choose bad, that ability to choose would
have been incomplete, hence imperfect. Therefore, the very fact that man could
choose either good or bad argues, not that he was imperfect, but rather that
even in this respect he was a perfect creation. His sin resulted from
entertaining wrong desires.—Jas.
Another idea that lingers in the mind of
some is that God must bear the blame for man’s sin in that He placed the tree
of the knowledge of good and bad in the garden, in that way putting temptation
before man. Had there been no tree, there would have been no sin. Therefore,
the tree produced evil results and the Maker of it must bear the blame, they
feel. Such reasoning is in error.
For example, at a drugstore you may
purchase medicine that is marked: “Danger. For External Use
Only.” Properly applied, the medicine has a healthful effect; but if
someone ignores the plainly printed instructions and swallows the medicine, it
may bring his death. Is the druggist to blame? Did he lay
temptation before the customer? Of course not!
Neither did God do injury to man in
planting the tree of the knowledge of good and bad. It was an altogether good
thing that gave man opportunity to exercise his free will in a right way and so
to learn obedience. Properly viewed, it would have had a healthful effect; but
when man, urged by the Devil and motivated by his own wrong desire, ignored the
plainly given warning that “in the day you eat from it you will positively
die,” he brought the sentence of death upon himself. How true, then, the
statement found at Deuteronomy 32:5: “They have acted ruinously on their own
part; . . . the defect is their own”!
The same is true today when homes are
broken by divorce and delinquency. God is not to blame. His will is expressed
in the Bible. When it is followed, ‘wives are in subjection to their husbands,’
‘husbands keep on loving their wives,’ and together they bring up their
children in “the discipline and authoritative advice of Jehovah. JOrY ” To those who listen to
God’s counsel, family life is a source of rich blessing and deep
satisfaction.—Col. 3:18-21; Eph. 6:4.
Nor was the destruction of an estimated
10,000,000 human lives by the fifty-seven nations participating in combat in
World War II God’s doing. To the contrary, it was a violation of His
declaration of the sanctity of human life. So with sin and death; God is not to
blame. The Scriptures make clear that, not as a result of what God has done,
but “through one man [Adam] sin entered into the world and death through sin,
and thus death spread to all men because they had all sinned.”—Gen. 9:4-6;
In
Almighty God is the Author of “every good
gift and every perfect present.” He lovingly gave the first man a perfect start
in a paradise home. When man sinned, God’s goodness did not cease. He
mercifully made provision for those of the human family yet to be born to have
opportunity to gain what Adam lost. By means of His kingdom, for which all
Christians pray, he will see that those evildoers, including the Devil himself,
who are to blame for the woes of man will be cut off.
“But the meek ones themselves will possess the earth and they will indeed find
their exquisite delight in the abundance of peace.”—Jas. 1:17; Ps. 37:9-11-From
