Being Angry At God-Rabbi Benjamin Sendrow

Shabbat shalom! Very thought provoking.

Poignant yet reassuring, Ben. Well put.

Why be angry with God our Father in heaven since we are all have free will and responsible for our choices. He has given us teachings and instructions plus the basic base of the 10 commandments which instruct us how to approach God the Father and each other. It is not God's fault the way the the world and our lives go through. Another very good message Rabbi. Thank you.

Rabbi, I agree with your words. Not everything that happens on earth is not Gods will, it is our human decisions so why blame God ??? Again I will state that people who do not understand this to not know our Father God in heaven. Period ! Bruce.

I see the holocaust as terrible birth pains that gave birth to Israel , one could never imagine watt those persons suffered so that Israel state birth would be possible

Shalom Rabbi, Yes, I have been angry at God in the past, the very God that we have in common. As I am older and hopefully wiser, I try to temper my anger as it is a useless emotion. Being angry with God does not resolve anything. The only positive thing about being angry with God is that it is a form of venting, and doing so can bleed negative energy and eventually lead to a more positive outcome. It is not often I am able to communicate with a Rabbi, so I am taking the opportunity to use your content to transition to a question I have. In ancient times, God spoke to man-not just through dreams or the intervention of angels, but directly to man. Why does He not do so in modern times? If the opportunity presented itself, I would like to ask Him a question or two. I am not Jewish, but I believe that God favors your people. We may not agree on the Messiah, but we do share the same God and Old Testament background. People sometimes forget that Jesus was a Jew, and many called him Rabbi. Besides, if I decided to convert, the painful part is already done. Thanks to God for that favor. I have lived among people who practice Islam. They have much anger at God and themselves. This is puzzling, as they share the same God and Old Testament background as us. God recognizes them as well. This is established in Genesis 17:20, where it is written: And as for Ishmael, I have heard you. Behold, I have blessed him and will make him fruitful and will multiply him exceedingly. He shall beget twelve princes, and I will make him a great nation. But, the children of Ishmael have strayed from the path. Perhaps jealousy or ignorance is at play, but the fact that they have animosity towards Jews and Christians is well known. Larry from Texas

I wish I knew the answer to your question, Larry.

[@LarryLMelton]

@@therabbisstudy1718 Me too, Rabbi. But I suppose God hides his purpose. In the military, we had a need to know. It could be as simple as I don't have a need to know. 😆 I just hope that He is listening, even if He doesn't answer. I seek wisdom, but that, too, can be hidden. In my youth, I accumulated much bad Karma. In the latter part of my life, I strive to accumulate positive Karma. Hopefully, the scales will tilt in my favor before my time is up. Thank you for your answer. Larry from Texas

@LarryLMelton All the best to you, Larry.

God is so evil. He takes everything and gives nothing he has 0 Intension to help the good hearts in this world. Instead of having them happy and lets their hearts have great impact in this world he lets them commit suicide and more. He is so bad so unbelievable bad. I can’t trust him. He doesn’t even gives the gift of death. Please keep in mind that I never asked for anything material just love family health and at some point only that he reveals himself and the Holy Spirit to me. He did not even that. He cant be loving he tricks us

[@riderxlx1]

God created us with free will so the choices we make are our own. You do not know God or you would have said such a thing.

[@user65391]

@@riderxlx1 And you dont know reality otherwise you wouldn’t say such a bullshit. Go look into the rality. Ignoring others pain is always easy 😉. i know God more than you do. Free will, so funny. So bonecancer children and suicides are free will ? Burn in hell. Compare Gods words with reality and stop with your nonsense
