Why do good things happen to bad people?

Answer 1

because good people get all the bad things so that they can go to heaven. the bad people couldn't care less about heaven, so they just make their own heaven on earth.

Answer 2

I have asked this myself. Come to find out I am not a good person! But I know bad things happen to others who are good and bad things happen to me alot even when I have tried to be good. I believe when the bad happens I am still being punished for what I did.

Answer 3

fist we must ask. who is the judge of what is good or bad.. can you say in your truth or any truth that you or anyone is better then those we call bad. who is to decide . the human morals or law is just that human. the human is limited so that would mean so the law. as is shown in all government the laws are always changing. if the one and only one of all that created all created you and me , would he not also created the bad as well. as those we humans call good. to think the one and only creator has not the power to remove the so called bad or the so called good ,.would be putting limits on the one and only creator. the answer to this question is their is no good or bad, we are all here to experience life by our free will to learn and take the road/path that will open our hearts up too seeking .the way or the truth , if all was so called good we would not seek to know .. every life experience is simply a process to seeking. ask yourself when you would make a choice that impacted others in a negative way. was it good or bad, did it not lead you into a new experience. the creator of this world said .said and i created all and all was good. did not the one who was called jesus love all. women. the good and the bad. the blind. the sick. he even said give the goverment what is theirs and give me what is mine, meant we are all entitled to the same, respect regardless of our lifes path.

Answer 4

I don't think that good things only happen to bad people; they happen to good people as well.

Answer 5

To be good means to go against the nature of mankind, to do anything that is against God. The nature of people is to love evil things. Think about the funniest comedians and the things you enjoy most - the jokes are usually the rudest. There's something enticing about flirting with what we know is wrong, and that's why the dirtiest jokes get the best laughs.

So to be good is a tough thing. It is something we know is just right, but a the same time it's hard to do. So when anyone goes against the grain and decides to put right before other things like the dollar or political name, or looking good, status, etc. people think they're insane, a number of them. And even if they don't think so, the people that do good are always fighting the way of evil.

Those bad people that go with the world's rules and put themselves first, they do well, they prosper. They don't let the right thing get in the way of a good name, riches, status, success. But that's all they'll get. After this life, they have no investment in the afterlife, nothing they can bargain with for heaven.

Good people who are not saved by God have a sense of the right thing and seek to live a good life, but they don't realise that they are not good because no-one is good, not really. Everyone's done somthing wrong and anyone who does just one things wrong is doomed to hell. God sees the dilemma; he loves us, wants us in heaven, but can't accept us because of the sin in us.

So he made the ransom demand - Jesus, the only guiltless man dies with our sins throughout history; we, now free of our sin, go free. If we decide to accept this amazing gift, that is. It's not ours until we claim it.

Anyone who really comes to life with God lives a life that is turned around. The old nature that loves evil stuff begins to die while God's nature, his Spirit lives in us and we desire to do good. That means a lot of trouble for the christian - because they desire to do right, they will place God first and because this is completely against the world's way of doing things it's going to mean the world will hate them for it. Weird - hated for doing right.

So next time a bad character makes it big, and a good man dies poor, think about the eternal destiny between those who invest in this life, and those who invest in God's eternal life. 'Good' people and bad people all deserve the penalty for disobeying God, death - but only those people who accept the gift of God through the ransom of Jesus - whether they were 'good' or bad before - will have a place in heaven.

Answer 6

To teach us a lesson. Whatever you wish upon other people is what you'll eventually get in return. When good things happen to bad people, wish them well. That way, you'll get good things in return.

Answer 7

"S**t Happens!"

"Everything happens for a reason'"

44 But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you,

45 that you may be children of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the just and the unjust.

-Jesus

Why not?

Evil can not "be good" or have "good things" happpen forever.
"What goes around , comes around"
Karma.

etc.etc etc.

Answer 8

good things happen to good and bad people. it's just more obvious when it happens to the "bad". It's not forever anyway, noone has good "luck" forever.

Answer 9

maybe on earth they happen to bad people, but on judgment day for sure a horrible thing will happen to them. Eternal death.

Answer 10

Coz the way to hell looks good and feels good. It's a deception. But the way to heaven is tough but rewarding in the end.
