Will God ever be judged for his crimes against humanity?
Response to comment [from an
agnostic]: ""For in the same way you
judge others, you will be judged,
and with the measure you use, it
will be measured to you." Mathew 7:2
I accuse God of being negligent
towards every random accident that
has led to human suffering, despite
the fact that God knew all of them
would happen, and could have
prevented them."
The
future is open.
He's not up in heaven playing a DVD
of your life.
Ps 69:16
"In fact I accuse God from being the
intellectual author of all those
unfortunate events..."
You look to
blame God just as Adam did. "It was
the woman you gave me who gave me
the fruit, and I ate it." Ge 3:12,
NLT. And you thought that was such a
great idea.
Adam and Eve wanted
to know good and evil (Ge 3:5) and
here we are. Maybe when you get to
heaven you could punch Adam in the
nose--or maybe you would have done
the same thing had you been there.
"...by originally designing a fragile body for His children, and then designing a hazardous environment that can cause a lot of suffering."
By his
permissive will allows bad things to
happen. Perhaps you could ask
him to help you get through those
bad things (Ro 8:31, Jn 6:68).
"Finally I accuse God from cowardly
sending his son to be crucified
instead of Himself."
When we see him, he is one figure on the throne.
"One sitting. He is called henceforward throughout the book He that sitteth on the throne, and is distinguished from the Son in ch. 6:16; 7:10, and from the Holy Spirit in ver. 5. He is commonly understood to be God the Father; but some understand the triune God.*" Vincent, M. R. (1887). Word studies in the New Testament (Vol. 2, pp. 475–476). New York: Charles Scribner’s Sons.
* "So Professor Milligan, who thinks that the whole scene is founded on Isa. 6, which, he remarks, is always justly regarded as one of the greatest adumbrations of the Trinity contained in the Old Testament." Vincent, M. R. (1887). Word studies in the New Testament. New York: Charles Scribner’s Sons.
"Isa 6:8 Us. This plural pronoun does not prove the doctrine of the Trinity, but does strongly imply it (see Gen. 1:26). Here am I! Send me. This response evidenced the humble readiness of complete trust. Though profoundly aware of his sin, he was available." MacArthur, J., Jr. (Ed.). (1997). The MacArthur Study Bible (electronic ed., p. 963). Nashville, TN: Word Pub.
No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself (Jn 10:18).
"Sadly, God will not be judged..."
God's done
nothing wrong. If you disagree with
that, you are wrong. He is remains
right (Is 55:9). He's heard similar
complaints before so you may want to
discuss it with him (Isa 1:18).
Jesus came and relieved people of
some of these ailments (Lk 7:22). He
can heal you, too (Re 3:17, Mt 5:3,
Jer. 8:22).

"Unfortunately, you're correct. The worst part is that we'll never get to say "I told you so"."

"..and are Christians happy
because of that?.... will they spend the rest of eternity
feeling relieved that THEY were rewarded, while other fellow
human beings were not (and are perhaps being punished?).
And those poor souls (like me) will spend eternity punished
and unrewarded, for what?.. just for questioning their
creator?, just for using the mind that their creator
designed for them?"
Use your mind and come to the right conclusion (Ac 17:27).
If you are not saved, why is that? What kind of sin are you
stuck in?
Kinds of sin: national (Prov. 14:34), personal (Josh. 7:20),
secret (Ps. 90:8), presumptuous (Ps. 19:13), open (1 Tim.
5:24), shameless (Is. 3:9), youthful (Ps. 25:7), public (2
Sam. 24:10, 17), unforgiveable (Matt. 12:21, 32; John 8:24),
of ignorance (Lev. 4:2), willfully, (Heb. 10:26). Thomas

Do you fear the Lord? Ps 55:19. Do you prefer darkness to
light because your deeds are evil? Jn 3:19
Yes, you should be punished for your sin if you do not
humble yourself before the Lord (Ex. 32:34).
Response to comment [from an atheist]: "We are just like pets to God. Worse still we are treated like pets often are in the South. We must be obedient or we are deprived and tortured. So get over it and be glad when your litter box is changed."
Both God-haters and those who love the Lord suffer (Ge 1:31, Mt 5:45).
Response to comment [from a Christian]: "Adam is the first to blame. It is he who brought death to humans."
1 Co 15:22
God is not to blame for man's sin. There is no darkness
in him (1 Jn 1:5). He does not tempt men to sin (Jas 1:13).
Men sin because their own hearts are evil (Jer 17:9, Mt
15:18). They need a new heart (Eze 36:26).
