I'm Tired of Everyone Blaming God!

Ezekiel 33:11
Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?

First of all before you begin to hammer me about my anger understand that we can be angry as Christians, but we can't let it lead us to sin. The Bible says to be angry and sin not. Anger is an emotion that we have that could be a great tool. It's like a fire. If it's outside the engine you have a major problem and your life is in danger, but if it's inside the engine you now have a driving force. My anger comes from people always blaming God for something He didn't do. Some blame sin, death, problems, discouragement, bills and taxes on God. One thing that really gets the fire in my engine hot is the phrase... "Why would a 'LOVING' God send anyone to Hell?" They always put the emphasis on the word loving for sarcasm.

Can I tell you now and forever that God does NOT send people away to Hell! They have chosen to walk away from Him. God has absolutely no pleasure in the death of the wicked. You see you are thinking that God is much like you and thinks like you think. The way you see the wicked and those who have wronged you and the way you want them to pay for what they have done to the fullest of degrees... but God is not like you. His love is not like yours. What would God want for the wicked? That they would turn from their way and live.

He sees the end result. He sees the way that the wicked are going and He takes no pleasure in it. His desire is that the wicked turn from his way and do what? LIVE! He wanted Israel to live. He wanted the Gentiles to live. He wanted Barabbas to live, that's why Jesus took his place. He desired that Judas would live. He desires that YOU WOULD LIVE! He is not on His throne today rejoicing that people are getting what they deserved. No, He has no pleasure in the death of the wicked. So please, for the Gospel's sake, get the scriptures right!
