Anger at God

[AnothersKeeper]

Has anyone else besides me ever been angry at God? A number of years ago, I went through some difficult and confusing times. I blamed God for the problems I experienced... I even hated and swore at Him. I've since repented, but I often wonder if what I've said and done is not the unpardonable sin. Has anyone else ever been in this position, or am I alone?

The unpardonable sin mentioned in the new testament is about rejecting the Holy Spirit's work in your life and ultimately Jesus Christ, therefore not being forgived of your sins. It hasnt got to do with simply saying certain things to or about God. And you are not alone

know where you're coming from and yes I went through great anger at God several years ago when something happened to a neice of mine. Human nature to want to blame something.I am still dealing with this.It rears its ugly head every so often.Take care.

I appreciate the responses I've received. I find some comfort knowing that I'm not alone in how I responsed to hard times. Still, I'm not done searching this out. I would really like to find more people who have blamed God and railed at Him for the grief and hard times they experienced (a sort of story swapping). If hating God for a time - as bad as that is - is common enough, I might be able to conclude that swearing at God isn't the unpardonable sin. At the very least, I wouldn't be alone in my struggle. Thanks again.

Yes, I've been angry at God. God is strong enough to handle it. At least when we're mad at Him, we're being honest and not in denial about what we're feeling. I never swore at Him though. At least if we're being honest with God about our feelings, then He can deal with them. It's when we refuse to admit it that we tie His hands. He wants to heal us, but to heal, we have to be honest with Him and with ourselves. You do have to repent of it later, but if our anger and emotions don't come out, then we just get sicker and sicker.

As long as you repent of what you do, confess it, and ask forgiveness for it, you haven't committed the unpardonable sin.

Yes, iv'e also been mad at God, and still am from time to time. I am going through a marriage break up, which I have had trouble coping with. This is a quote from a previous post "I still get mad at God and my wife. I know it will pass, and i think God is big enough to handle my madness. I know it is just a stage I am going through, and that it is stupid, but i also know it will pass".
I admit I have also sworn at God, and I hope he understands our frustration, and need to place the blame somewhere. But as my Pastor said when i told him, "It's a little like an ant throwing a tantrum at an elephant, it really doesn't have much impact, except that God does care about us". When you put it in the whole scheme of things, God will forgive us, does forgive us, providing when we have finished our grieving that we fully repent. I would love to take rejection and pain like Jesus did, but i'm not Jesus, and I'm sorry to say, can't even be compared to him. No matter how much I try to be like him. But I know he was crucified for my sins, and I do sin.

Been there, done it, bought the T-shirt then wrote this song as He took me back.
DONT BLAME THE ROCK

When it seems you’ve lost your world, storm clouds gather up above.

You feel let down, you feel alone, you start to question was it love...

You go your way you pay the price, and what you see you may not like.

And when the world has turned away from you, seems the easy thing to do...

But don’t blame the rock, for he stands fast.

Throughout the storm his truth will last....

Though you may fall, or you may stray.

The only hope is in his way - don’t blame the rock....

Place your hopes upon this world, only sorrow you will find.

And when the waves come crashing in, call for help nowhere to hide.

Life’s too short it turns to dust, dreams and promises soon lost.

you put your faith in other peoples hands, you see you’re standing on the sand...

So don’t blame the rock, for he stands fast.

Throughout the storm his truth will last....

Though you may fall, or you may stray.

The only hope is in his way - don’t blame the rock....

Don’t blame the rock

There's no such thing as an unpardonable sin, even Adolf Hitler and Judas can be forgiven for what they did. This is because no soul is truelly evil, they are merely unconsious of the spiritual laws in the life-hereafter, and they have to pay back for whatever they did. You go from demon to angel, that's a natural process we all have to go thru.

 

[Strong in Him]

I heard a sermon recently where the minister said that if anyone is worried that they have committed the unforgiveable sin, it means they haven't. If you had, you would not even be able to consider repentance/coming back to God because your heart would be too hardened, and you would have no thought of being forgiven.

Anger with God is common, sometimes normal and ok. We don't understand why He allows things, like illness, problems and death, and we feel hurt. Especially if he doesn't seem to remove these problems very quickly. I have also felt angry with God, for these reasons.

The Psalmist wasn't afraid to tell God how he felt in a variety of situations.
"My God, my God why have you forsaken me?" is not the cry of a happy man, and Jesus himself quoted these words on the cross.

Have I been angry? Yes........ I had a friend tell me (when I told her that I was) that I need to tell God all about it, because He knew anyway...... and she was right!

We are human, He is God. I'm everlastingly thankful for His mercy and grace!
