Discussion Questions
-
List three of the more memorable people in the Old or New Testaments who became disappointed with God because He didn’t respond to them the way they thought He should have responded.
-
Job, Jonah, and Judah Escariot
-
Cain became disappointed because God received Abel’s offering and not his. It caused him to commit murder and he was banished to another area on God’s earth.
Saul became disappointed because he felt that he had the right to make more decisions than he was allowed such as who to kill and who to spare, what to take and what to leave and whether or not to get rid of David because of Saul’s jealousy. Saul lost the kingdom and then he lost his life because he consistently disobeyed God.
Judas was disappointed because, well, we aren’t for sure, but it could have been because he wanted to be a part of an awesome and amazing earthly kingdom. He wanted riches and power and complete freedom alongside Jesus, who he wanted to become a king on this earth. He not only had to realize that he had betrayed the Christ but he took his own life with the realization. -

Sometimes people say they are Christians but act as if they are mad at God. What are some things you have observed that have caused you to be mad at God?
-
I have not been mad at God.
-
I have been cried out with anger and frustrated when I see the injustice in our society, evil people mocked Christians who believes God,those who oppose true Man of God still survive and succeed to their wrong way.
-
I have observed that I become frustrated or cry out in anger when I do not understand why God has allowed suffering or pain to others, especially when I see them as a devote believer.
-
The injustice of evil succeeding. Children being hurt and it seems like nothing is changing for the better.
-
The test seemed long, unfair, and harder while others seem to do whatever they felt like doing with no consequences.
-
What are some of the more important or noticeable reasons why people who say they’re Christians don’t act like it?
-
I think many people don’t actually even know what it looks like to be Christ followers; they claim to be Christians because it’s the “American way.” Others want to follow Christ, but are perhaps disillusioned with the church or the faith. And some simply don’t possess the fruits of the Spirit and are immature Christians.
-
Noticeable reasons why people who say they’re Christians don’t act like it, firstly it’s because of worldly desires or desires of the flesh, lack of faith to God through his true words, lack of zealous of personal prayers.
-
A few important or noticeable reasons why people who say they’re Christians don’t act like it include anger, disappointment, frustration, or disillusionment.
-
They are hurt. They are disappointed about their dreams or desires not being met. They have suffered a tragedy of some kind.
-
Unhealed places in the heart or mind.
Losing a loved one that he or she thought God could have done something to prevent it or stop it from happening.
God didn’t meet their expectations.
