Why Do God Allow Bad Things To Happen To Good People? by paxonel(m): 8:51am On Aug 26, 2018 |
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 1 Like |

paxonel: 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? |

zinnydan:exactly! I also think he allows good people to go through an undesirable process which will eventually make them strong. For Christians, it makes their faith in God to be strong. 1 Like |

zinnydan: This is not what the op is saying... He is saying that Gods though of good and evil can happen to anyone whether they are good people or not. That is God just spreads goodies and evil from above and it can touch anyone at random regardless of whether u are good or not |

frank317: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 2 Likes |

paxonel 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 |

OP, bad things can happen to anyone depending on how you live your life and the family you come from. A good christian can experience bad things if he is not careful and not prayerful . Jesus told us in : Luke 18:1 KJV And he spake a parable unto them to this end , that men ought always to pray, and not to faint; For a good man who is not a Christians, bad things can befall him if he is careless or there is a curse operating in their family lineage , although he is a good man , that curse will allow evil to happen to him. Prayers do avert evils. Being good or nice means you are an enemy to the powers that hate good people and good things. There are some wicked powers that love to see evil befalling people , community , nations etc. That is my opinion. |

I wondered about this too just this morning. And the Holy Spirit led me to Mark15:17-25. Even CHRIST suffered for sins HE did not commit. Be steadfast and hold onto GOD, trials don't last forever. |

Re: Why Do God Allow Bad Things To Happen To Good People? by Dalamama: 9:59am On Aug 26, 2018 |
paxonel: 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? |

Dalamama: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. |

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.

Dalamama:it's true that God is the same, today and forever. But that principle do not apply in every aspect. For instance, there was a time it repented God that he created man, this shows that God can still change his mind over certain issues at any given time and his new decision stands, no matter how hard we try to visit his position of the old times. As for otipoju ![]() Nor mind that African fictionist |
