GOD CAN'T BE BLAMED FOR OUR OWN ERRORS


The beauty of God's creation


The beauty of God's creation



Once, a couple desperate for a child but never had one, said to me, "It's hard to live without a child when you love your wife dearly. We aim to have children, but we have never had one." 


I asked the man, who is in his early forties, if he had ever made that request to God.

"Is there any God at all? If there is, then he is a very wicked God." That was his answer. I asked him, if you do not believe that God exists, and never seek for him, why then does he seem wicked to you when you have no experience with him?". He laughed.

Mistakes, crime, frustration, drug addiction, and sins are caused by individuals. Everyone knows right from wrong, but simply ignores doing the right thing and follows their desire, lust, and selfishness, without thinking of the Holy Bible or God. But when things get bad along the line, God is always blamed for our wrongdoings.

For example, a pregnant woman knows perfectly well that smoking and drinking alcohol are health hazards to an unborn child. Yet they ignore all those health hazards, by smoking, drinking, and even doing drugs sometimes. 

Yet after delivery, when the poor baby becomes a handicapped child, the blame is shifted to God. Many handicapped children were caused by the parents themselves, even though some were caused by biological problems or heredity.  

One may never experience the spiritual presence of God if you don't seek his face. The sweet flavor of a food doesn't guarantee its deliciousness; one needs to taste it. 

Another point is, alcoholic pregnant women, giving birth to handicapped children, must desist blaming God; instead, they must refrain from alcohol, smoking, and drugs during pregnancy.
