If God is real why do so many good people die????????

Question

(especially children) There are so many evil people still walking the earth who could go first.

Answer 1

that's a dumb question...
I'm not even religious and I know that god let Jesus ..
his only son die.....what makes you thinks hes gonna let the rest of us live if he would do that?

Answer 2

You are right that too often the good die too young, while the rotten ones stick around forever, it seems. But the reality is ALL people die, good or bad. It's just a matter of when. It hurts to lose a loved one, but we don't know what happens after we die. If you believe in a hereafter, then perhaps people move on to a better place. If so, then it's a good thing for the good people who die...they get to move on to a happier existence.

But your question is really impossible for any of us to answer. God is the only one who can tell you the facts, and so far he's keeping mum. Part of having faith is believing that there is a reason for everything-even death.

Answer 3

God is real and there is no doubt about it. I hope you believe that God created you and the whole universe.

God is spirit and anyone who worship him should worship him in truth and in spirit. You also believe that you have breath which you can not see, the air around you is invisible so is God.

The manufacturer of cars has got power over what he has manufacture. Look at the cars in all over the world. These cars get spoilt but is been repaired not by the manufacturer but by somebody else with the help of the car manual added to it. These manuals contains rules and regulation concerning the car and if you default it rules you damage the car.

So has God created man. God has created us with his manual being the Holy Bible. His words says that the wages of sin is death. You see good people does'not come totally been good. They start from somewhere. God also has date and time for every human being on earth to die. Like a manufacturer having an expiring date for his product.

The more you sin you decrease your days on earth. I think that is why good people you think dies b'cos their sins have accumulated and that they die like a brand new car getting accident.

thank u

Answer 4

Suppose for a minute humans could remove the idea of "God." Then suppose that humans have witnessed nature in various aspects, say, a lion chasing a gazelle, for example. While watching the lion rip apart the gazelle and eat it's flesh, it drags the carcass to it's den to feed other little lions. Then suppose there is a gazelle (miraculously endowed with a human's ability to reason) thinking the question, "why did my son have to die like that?"
Granted, there are a lot of absurdities in this example, but in reality, justice, fairness, etc., are all human constructs that have nothing to do with life in the world. Humans invented such concepts in order to ensure survival (for the most part!). They are good constructs that allow us to strive towards a civil discourse, but, as you have described in your question, it isn't always successful, is it? Nor can it be. Nor should we expect it to be.

In reality, life is not just, it is not fair. It does not stop Humans from struggling to make this a reality, including ascribing human traits to a God to help make it so.

Right now, we exist. We are able to type our thoughts in yahoo boards. This is a better place to be then say, what happened to the victims of Hurricane Katrina, or the tsunami of 2005, or 911, or Sudan, or Bosnia, or Rwanda, etc.

How long it will last, who knows?

Answer 5

well...to create a balance...if there is an entry there shud be an exit...If human population goes on increasing and we all live forever, then at some point of time we would not have a place to stand. the term die means this...the soul leaves the body and re-emerges in some other form. so we are just going to change our structure and the kind of living.

The indian mythology says that every single person born on earth shall take re-birth 7 times. if you do good things in this birth then u will be born again as a human being. if u commit too many sins then u wud take d frm of some animal...it can be a pig too!!!

Answer 6

The question of why a righteous and loving God allows evil to exist is almost as old as the human race. Over 3,000 years ago, Job asked, "Why do the wicked live on, growing old and increasing in power? ... Yet they say to God, 'Leave us alone! We have no desire to know your ways'" (Job 21:7, 14).

Nor does the Bible give us a complete answer to this puzzle. Someday in heaven we'll fully understand God's ways—but not now. We live in a fallen world, a world where evil often seems to be in control. But that isn't the whole story! By faith we know that God still loves us, and His power is greater than all evil. The proof is Jesus Christ, who was put to death by evil men but rose from the dead by the power of God. Never forget this truth: Ultimately, God is in control, not Satan.

And someday God's justice and power will rule, and all evil will be destroyed. Satan will be bound forever, and Jesus Christ will reign over all the earth. In the meantime, we say with the Bible, "How unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!" (Romans 11:33, KJV).

The real question, however, is this: Is your trust in God? In the midst of so much confusion and doubt in the world, have you put your faith in Christ, and are you seeking to follow Him every day? Make sure of your commitment to Christ, and then make it your goal to grow closer to Him every day.

Answer 7

Most people die becuase the government allows them to. The FDA is around to help people, but instead they look for patented drugs to make to help people take them so they can get billions more in profits. Everybody ends up suffering because of the real evil of the U.S. which is the governement allowing the FDA to produce harmful drugs that can kill people instead of heal them, plus the bad side effects. More people die of cancer today than ever before, there is cure and now over 10 million people know that there is a cure, its just up to the rest of America to realize what is truly happening.

Answer 8

Death is a gift. There's no way to convey to you in words the feeling of complete acceptance and all-encompassing love that awaits us in the afterlife. That's why there will be "wailing and gnashing of teeth" when eyes are opened to what they've given up.

GOD loves all of us equally and wants to give those evil people every opportunity to straighten up so they'll have an eternity like the innocent child who died.

Hell is the grave. Those who choose it will know before they die their eternal death the mistake they made in choosing evil over good.

Answer 9

Death is a part of our sin nature. When sin entered the world through Satan, so did death. The bible says that God is no respecter of persons, meaning that all the rules apply equally to all people. God shows no favoritism to anybody, regardless of age. The Bible says there none of us are good because we all fall short of the glory of God. I do not know God's ultimate plan for humankind and the Bible does not tell us everything that we want to know----it only tells us what God wants us to know. We could not handle universal knowledge---it is just too great for our minds to comprehend. In keeping us ignorant of most things God is showing his mercy and love toward us. Yes, innocent children die while convicted murderers live for decades on death row. I can not explain the justice of that, but God knows what he is doing. I do know that God takes children because he has need of them, or to spare them the pain and suffering of continued living on earth, or to teach parents a much needed lesson. All children go to heaven when they die because Jesus loves children---they are like the kingdom of heaven, that is innocent. Jesus loves you.

Answer 10

Every life has a purpose. To find yours, read the book: A Purpose Driven Life. If we are religious we believe our souls don't die, just our bodies. So, it's no biggie if we die young. It's only sad for those we leave behind. If bad people stay here on earth until they are old, they haven't fulfilled their purpose yet, but God will judge them in the end.

Answer 11

I think you dont know the meaning of death,but I have a story to say :
there once was a land that people good or bad didn't die at all ,after 300 years they had 2 much of mature people that all of them knew the best ways for getting rich,being happy ,facing problems,gyniolatry ,to govern , and .... , their sensual and carnal desires became disclosed openly and all of them wanted to earn their desires. Bit by bit they started to claim the lordship . unfortunately all of them had enough proofs for claiming the lordship,so they fought,terrible fights and bloodshed were started .Considering that no one could die they could just prison indigents ,weaks and child,so the earth was full by blood, prison and people that just knew powerty and concupiscible desires and there was no beauty ,science ,love,marriage.
So the main God took action against swaggerers ,thugs and ruffians and finished their whole lifetime to make earth peaceful,and for more assurance he restricted human kind's lifetime.but unfortunately he forgot to liberate innocent prisoners so human kind had to live in prison and sometimes nonexistence of freedom and fresh air causes several kind of death in that little prison and no one can stop it,now they dont have anyone who can claim the lordship and they lost everything but the main God is comfortable about new rivals.
