Why does God allow Evil or Bad things to happen to good People???

Question

Maybe the wrongs things in the world are not pleasing to God at all. Maybe He doesn't like the way the world is (maybe He dislikes it much more than we do), but has, in a sense, allowed others to run it for a time. Jesus told His disciples to pray for God's will to be done on the earth, as it is in heaven (Matthew 6:10). The obvious implication then is that God's moral will is not always done here on earth, even if His permissive will is.
or I dont know what do you think?

Answer 1

Sickness death and disease are the result of sin in the world. I think rape muder and terrorism are self explanatory. Don't blame God, we just HAD to eat from that tree of good and evil and now we got lots of evil.

Answer 2

You can look at it this way, though. The Lord wills that none should perish, but that all should come to repentance. (2 Peter 3:9) It must also be noted that God has different wills.

The decretive will of God states that he declares it and it is.
The permissive will of God is things God allows to be - such as the presence of evil and bad things in the World.
The optative will are things God desires but not necessarily going to happen, such as people going to Hell, in 2 Peter 3:9.

Yes, I know this is a "preachy" response, and I try to be as little preachy as possible, because I know most people don't want the Bible thrown in their face, but I figured I would refute scripture, with scripture...

God must be a foolish person,I say,Why can't those to Fairy-Tale animals get along here?

It's like Jesus Christ god's boy perfect son in the eyes of the fictional God,and what is the rest of us?

The rest of us is God's slaves,to determine were ever we belong in hell which is here,Heaven is in our dreams or desires,or nowhere and stay in Our graves.

Christians say,(Not all of them) but most do say......

God loves us,God is there for us,God is good,or God u have to believe or Ur going to be sleeping with the Devil.

Well most Christian's don't say it like that last sentence,but they sure do point that out to the non-christian believers here today,less then yesterday even.

Fairy- Tale God@ Satan better smooch up and make LOVE,to bring this flip-pen world back together...

Or I settle them both my self,by bashing both heads right into each-other like little tike's in preschool.

Answer 4

How do you outline "good human beings"? contained in the Bible it says that there is not one good guy because of sin. It relies upon on what that suffering is. For some human beings this is the very brilliant element that would have befell because it led to them to re-research their lives and they got here across out they were going contained in the incorrect direction or they mandatory fantastic tuning. certain the indicators receives a lot worse. Why did not He do something? Oh i'd say He did something. question is: Are you paying interest? maximum at the on the spot are not it really is why the indicators receives worse.

Answer 5

Because way back in the garden of Eden Satan questioned Gods right to rule, God is allowing time for that issue to be resolved, but whatever hardship we are facing, God has promised that he will not allow us to be tempted beyond what we can bear (1 corithians 9:13) Bad things happen to bad people too!

Answer 6

I'll share my personal opinion based on what I believe.

There is NOTHING in life that we can not go through or be faced with that we cannot overcome with Christ, and face it with Joy knowing that the Lord has already given us victory.

I believe it's when we do things "our own human way" that things become corrupt and we get into trouble.

God's way is perfect, so if in our lives we always did things 100% God's way every single day 24 hours a day, I honestly don't believe we'd "think of" problems as problems, but rather another victory in Christ.

Because we'd be very clear that the battles or the things that we face in life aren't ours to fight, because Christ already fought and won! It's when we in our human effort try to fight that we lose.

That's a lesson in Christ that really took me time to learn & live.

Do I do what God tells me to do 24 hours a day, everyday. No, and that's when I find myself "beside" myself (stressed out, worried, afraid, overly concerned, etc.)

Psalm 55:22 Amp- Cast your burden on the LORD [releasing the weight of it] and He will sustain you; He will never allow the [consistently] righteous to be moved (made to slip, fall, or fail).

Psalm 62:8 Amp- Trust in, lean on, rely on , and have confidence in Him At All Times, you people; pour out your hearts before Him. God is a refuge for us (a fortress and a high tower). Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]!

Psalm 37:34 Amp- Wait for and expect the LORD and keep and heed His way, and He will exalt you to inherit the land; [in the end] when the wicked are cut of, you shall see it.

Psalm 37:23-24 Amp- The steps of a [good] man are directed and established by the LORD when he delights in His way [and He busies Himself with his every step]. Though he falls, he shall not be utterly cast down, for the LORD grasps his hand in support and upholds him.

Blessings To You & Yours

Answer 7

I dont know.I guess there are certain questions that begin with "why" who certainly dont have an answer....but still,there might be several reasons....for example to check them,to see how faithfull they are and to see if they won't deny their faith after,to see if they are really that kind after all...
or to make them even better cuz you have to get through bad so you could be good after....
But you know,there are many things that we should just take them the way they are,not to wonder that much,even tho sometimes they are not fair.

Answer 8

God doesn't let bad things happen-- that is brought on by ourselves. We are a selfish, arrogant, greedy species that live in a negative energy well if we don't get what we want, and that energy has to go somewhere. It manifests itself into diseases, war, famine, and death ( those four sound familiar?) God excels at creation- humans have learned to excel at destruction.

Answer 9

personally, i think He allows it for many reasons:

*to help us realize situations change, but He does not
*to draw us nearer to Him (don't most of us go to Our Father more earnestly when we are having difficulty?)
*to shape us, give us chances to make spiritual decisions

right now, i am going through the valley... i like to believe when i make it out, i will be stronger for Him because of Him... maybe i will need this experience in 10 yrs for someone else is suffering the same thing

God bless :)

Answer 10

Because they can.

We pay a hefty price for free will, but without it we would be like children never allowed to grow because of their parents' constant intervention. It is up to us to change, to grow, and to improve the world. God is not going to intervene. Let us be thankful--no sarcasm implied--that God is such a good parent.
