Yelling At God
In having a conversation with a friend from church he mentioned how in his community group there was a discussion on whether it was appropriate to yell at God. Our church is going through the Old Testament this year so I think this was during their discussion on of the sermons concerning Job.
From what I understand most of the foundations of the arguments that it is okay (not a sin) to yell at God is that God wants us to be honest and real and that God can take it. Those reasons are true, God can take our temper tantrums and he does want us to be honest and real but it neglects other truths as well.
What that thought neglects is the relationships a Christian has with the Triune God. So in thinking about those would it be allowed for a subject to yell at their good king. Would it be 0kay for a bride to yell at her loving husband? Would it not be disrespectful for a child to yell at their caring father? Does it show a thankful attitude to yell at someone who is there to comfort you? A resounding “No” is the answer in every case.
