This kind of question comes from a very wrong assumption.

We assume that because some people are good therefore they do not deserve bad things.

We forget that life happens to everyone equally whether they are bad or good.

The rain and sun falls on everyone at equal intensity whether they are bad or good.

That is God for you.

There's always a reason for something, God is all knowing and he knows his thoughts for us,a thought of good and not of evil to give us an expected end

What is God for u?

If u guys know that life happens to everyone equally whether they are good or bad, why then do preachers say he that dweleth in the secret place of the most high shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. Have you read ur bible to see all the goodie goodies promised to believers?
Are u saying the bible us lying?

Does God (Christian God) allow good things to happen to bad people?

It is evident that how God (we have so many gods, about 4000) engages with this world is undefined

paxonel:
the promise to Christians is simple.

He that dweleth in the secret place of the most high in the light of christianity implies that, anyone who believes in christ has dweleth in the secret place of the most high, the promise to such person is eternal life.

Now, eternal life is something spiritual and not any physical benefits like every good things of life.

Christianity from the bible stand point did not promise every good things for it adherents like pastors are putting it.
It only promises eternal life, that's all

paxonel:
infact, that is his will!
good things should happen to everyone always.
how is it undefined?

Because everything is defined in the scriptures

beatmonster:


Everything is defined in the scriptures?

Gravity, Electricity, Magnetism, Chemical Reaction, Micro-Organism... pls show me where these are defined in your scriptures

He meant anything spiritual mythological and fictional is defined inside the bible.

Dalamama:


So your God is random, incoherent and a liar. All the places where he talks about protecting the righteous that believe in his name and call unto him and just empty lies abi? Continue.

paxonel:

no!
These are all physical things.

God don't use all these physical things to engage the world.

God is a spirit

So, whoever he must engage must be through spirit and truth.

paxonel:

no!

paxonel:


So, you actually believe in those lies along side with some Christians?

The scripture did not say that o.

Christians believing in christ do not ensures any protection o, christ is not babalawo.

The only thing christ ensures is eternal life. John 3:16

Dalamama:


So the writers of the bible were telling lies when they wrote these things abi?


The LORD says, "I will rescue those who love me. I will protect those who trust in my name.

Psalm 91:14

You engaged God through spirit and truth and he told you that he doesn't protect the good people and allows bad thing to happen to them.

Pastor Biodun od COZA engages God through spirit and truth and God told him that he ALWAYS protects those who call unto his name for protection and won't allow anything bad to happen to them.

So who are we to believe with this your spirit and truth brouhaha, since it can not be measured in any way to determine it's veracity? Are you the one telling the truth or is it pastor Biodun?

paxonel:
do you know how many Christians have died calling God at the time of distress such as accident?

What is the pastor Biodun talking about?

paxonel:
yes, it was true that God miraculously intervened over issues he shouldn't have at the days of the old testament, simply because men were ignorant in that phase of human existence.

But in the new testament as men where getting understanding he stoped using those miracles to intervene .

Acts 17:29 Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device. (This was the days of the old testament when men uses these objects to worship)
17:30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at(overlooked); but now commandeth all men every where to repent:

Overlooked in the sense that, he protected and gave people fortune miraculously,just to let them know that he is the true God, not those objects the people were worshiping ignorantly.

that was then

But today, he doesn't do things like that anymore.
Why?
Because people are now vast in knowledge and understanding.
Infact, there are technologies already developed to sensor intruders for personal protection.

So, we don't really need God for many things these days.
But we need him for our eternal life, that is what human knowledge and technology cannot offer.

Dalamama:


He doesn't do like that anymore according who? You abi? Just yesterday a Christian here called Otipoju was telling us how a bird appeared to his grand mother and spoke to her telling her things that saved her life from ritualist and you are here saying God has stopped such. Even the bible said God is the same yesterday today and forever but you are telling us another thing. So all these guys are telling lies abi?
