Why does God Allow Bad Things to Happen to Good People?

Jessica understands that bad things happen to people who deserve it, but why do bad things happen to people who do not deserve it? Watch my answer.

"If God gave me His power for a day you would see how many things I would change about this world. If God gave me His wisdom too I would leave things as they are."

[favo]

he got me when he said “there are no good people” BUSTED

My son passed away as a baby and God used that to bring me back to his path. Now I look that painful experience and thank Him.

Basically, the entire book of Job is The answer to this question

[Paulthored]

God, millennia ago, in Bible: Job, you can't see what I see...
Turek, year's ago, in video: ripple/butterfly effect... Mentioned Job.
Me: wait a second.... Job's story, rippled into the book of Job... Mind Blown!!😵

I understand, but it is still very difficult to accept, especially when the most evil things happen to the purest of souls

[jisafaaaccct]

that moment when all you wanna do is help but some of the people you wanna help all they wanna do is destroy you

"Why does God allow good things happen to bad people?"

[Mike-sdwe]

Another excellent response by Dr. Turek. The rain falls on the just and the unjust. Look at the fates of the Apostles. Yes, none are good, not one. Most people can't comprehend that because they compare themselves to others. Memo to all: God isn't going to grade on a curve. He will use his measurement and we all fall short without accepting the gift that Jesus provided and the grace it brings.

Turek is very adept at making things that are obviously challenging sound logical and cohesive ....its a learned talent that very few apologist actually master.

Where is that verse in THE BOOK OF job, Can anybody plz tell me???

[PrinceJes]

Matthew 5:45-46
"That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: *for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.* For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?"

[dominicfong]

So there is no good people, then why fortunate, and even great things can happen to bad people.

[laveensix]

If there are no good people, then why do some suffer and others don't?

[jtstahl]

I've learnt that God let's bad things happen to good people because he loves them. When something bad happens to a person where does that person turn to? He turns to God for help and comfort. And that's what God wants. A person who has a good, problem free life has no reason to need God or go to him for help because he simply thinks he has everything. But such person is spiritually dead inside. We need God in our lives or else we have nothing. So when God gives us heartache we should look at it as a blessing.. He is constantly working on us and the devil in the other hand is constantly pulling towards sin.. So trials in life keep us close to God.. Ultimately our reward will be Heaven. And I'm sorry, but without hard times and heartbreak we simply can't get that reward.

[alfredo]

Well, one thing that I've learnt along the way is that people choices also matter a lot. If you put that together with free will given to us to choose between good and evil, that's where most evil done by human beings to other people we would consider "good" happens.

Hi Frank,
Please explain the 'Fine Tuning' argument.

[valerieminster]

I have asked myself that many many times. My daughter in heaven is named Jessica, just like the young woman who asked the question.

[jamesgossweiler]

"Bad things" come part and parcel with free will. How many "bad things" do we see happen that were caused by...well...people? Are there accidents, well yes, but that is part of life. Let's look at this the opposite case...what would life be where "nothing bad" ever happened. It wouldn't be life...it would be heaven. That comes later.

God is your genie and anything can happen so long as long as you believe!!!!
