Angry at God?

Psalms 100:3 Know that the Lord Himself is God;

It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves;

We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.

I was talking to a person the other day who said that he was mad at God, and because he was mad at God he was going to choose not to believe in him. That has to be the most arrogant statement a person can make. 

Isaiah 45:9 Woe to the one who quarrels with his Maker—

An earthenware vessel among the vessels of earth!

Will the clay say to the potter, ‘What are you doing?’

We live in a time when people get angry at the government, at bosses, and at parents. If we are upset at our parents, our spouse, our boss, or our government, we can say things and do things that may help, but God? People who think that they can shake their fist in God’s face, bully Him, or rebel against Him have a very low view of God and aren’t thinking very clearly at all about all His creation around us and His power. We are not talking about Zeus, Baal, or some other pagon god that can get whipped by another god on a bad day. God is all powerful, there is no other God besides Him. 

I have concluded that the thinking of some is so strange that it must be demonic deception.

1 Timothy 4:1 But the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons,

How did that happen, and how could they escape? Discussions that I have with these people go no place fast. I will pray for them that God will remove blinders and set them free from their anger. 

Psalms 2:1-4 Why are the nations in an uproar and the peoples devising a vain thing? The kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers take counsel together

Against the Lord and against His Anointed, saying, “Let us tear their fetters apart

and cast away their cords from us!” He who sits in the heavens laughs, the Lord scoffs at them.

    If the person you spoke to was mad at God, that means he believes in him. How can you be mad at someone you don’t believe in?

    Pastor Dee, this is Julie, Laurie Goldman’s stepsister. I am not sure if this reply is public or not. Nevertheless, I wanted to communicate a few things with you:

    1. I am asking for July 13th off so I can come down and be baptized. What must I do to arrange this?
    2. I made a private prayer request to you and marked the little box saying, “for Pastor Dee only”. It got posted publicly and therefor I outed my friend Mykl. I guess everything happens for a reason, but I felt bad about this.
    3. Hello from my local honey supplier, James Browning, who knew your family in Trout Lake. Sincerely, Julie Trantham

      I am very sorry about the mistaken prayer request. I should have taken that one out of the stack. Nothing to prepare, except for a 2 minute testimony. The baptism service is super.
