Can a christian criticize God?

No, Christian. Both are of the some God, are they not?

ugh do what you want nothing will happen

*don’t worry be happy ; )

The fear itself is the only consequence you will suffer (unless someone punches you) for criticizing any gods.

annv, amblessed is not making fun of you. That is just the way he answers questions…do not be offended…

Amblessed, again I have the feeling that you are making fun of me. But sure, I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt.

Do you say that whatever God does, it was planned, unquestionably perfect and to the benefit of the wellbeing of all that lives.

Forgive me for the slow reply. My God is the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, Sometimes referred to as God the Father. I call Him Daddy.

I am mildly curious: what is your one true god guru4god?

By the way, nasty retaliations can plentiful sourced in the holy bible…

I don’t intend to criticise God in my own life. I trust Him, love Him and belive that He knows what’s right. I am critical of some ugly events in the Old Testament which some consider to have been instigated/condoned by God. I don’t believe that God is planning ‘nasty relatilations’ on me for that - Christians are allowed to question and also to admit that they don’t understand! The Psalms are full of people questioning and admitting their despair to God. It’s fine - in fact, pretending that ‘everything in the garden is lovely’ all the time is false and not what God wants from His children.

you have the right to critisize whatever you beleive in its all part of being human and if your smart enough, you dont stop asking questions its not your “god” that you need to worry about its people who beleive in the same thing you do many christians dont accept critisize or anything in there opinion you cant critisize “god” but you have the right to do whatevere you want

hey prettygirl15, that really does not answer the question…

A Christian criticizing God? Hmmm, that’s not very… Christian now is it?

…so… Jewish?

I actually wonder about this question a lot. Also sometimes a christian is all well and good and then if something goes wrong in there life they get all angry and start criticizing god and blaming him. Do they get bad karma for that? I’m sorry but I can’t answer your question. I will be very excited to read other peoples answers though

That depends on what God it is. All Gods but one are fake so I would say that most could do it. For those that know the One True God, no they can not but then you have to look at what is your version nasty retaliations for myself, all it takes for me is for Him to not smile at me and I will go to peaces.

Thanks guru4god, forgive me for being inquisitive, but why GURU 4god? The sanskrit word guru relates to Hinduism and Buddhism. According to my dictionary it means: a spiritual teacher, especially one who imparts (Buddhist) initiation.

How do you justify that with your judeo-christian one-true-god statement. By the way, I am just curious, nothing serious.

Amblessed, you seem to put a lot of value on your interpretive statement: ‘His mercy (withholding what we do deserve), and His amazing grace (giving us what we don’t deserve)’.

What DO we deserve? And, WHAT is it he gives us that we do not deserve? And, why such reversed and complicated doctrine?

Assuming that God made the rules we should have submitted to in order to rightfully deserve what he gives us, something must have gone pear-shaped in his plan. Are his rules to difficult to obey and live by? Are us humans not wise enough to figure out what the rules are? Should Eve have eaten more fruit in order to understand better? What is the matter?!

Please enlighten me. Because frankly, god seems to sink further into the bog-hole of confusion every time someone tries to make sense by quoting the bible.

A Christian that has been saved through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross, would never have any inclination of criticizing their Heavenly Father - they realize His goodness, His mercy (withholding what we do deserve), and His amazing grace (giving us what we don’t deserve).
