why do bad things happen to good people and good things happen to bad people?

Answer 1

cause God wants to test both good and bad people.
-he wants to test the patience and faith of good people, so he puts them in tough situations.
-he wants to test how grateful a bad person can be and whether he would change to a good person, think about God who gave him those good things.

Answer 2

Good question. It's all about proving character.

Bad things happen to good people because that's the best way to prove their character. Deal a good person a bad hand and they still stay moral and overall 'good', even though they know they run the risk of losing. Deal a bad person a bad hand however, and they will prove their character by cheating & lieing, thusly ensuring themselves the win.

Answer 3

What is Synchronicity? - Also known as "Parallelism"
---- ---- ---- ---- ---



What synchronicity states is that events occur in patterns according
to their meanings.

For example, it is often observed that related events occur in
groups (you know the old saying, bad things happen in threes).

The laws of physics are merely the most superficial manifestations
of that.


The universe can be considered an infinite computer.

It can be described by the systems theory equations:


x' = Ax + Bu
y = Cx + Du


where u is *input,* y is *output,* x is the *state space* variable,
and x' is the *time rate of change* of the state.

This would be expanded into infinite matrix form to model the
physical universe.

(Also known as LTI representation in Linear Systems).


Many people believe that the providence of God is simply Him putting
things where He wants in arbitrary order.

However, He downloads most of His governance to synchronicity, as
things in His order harmonize into a profound law.


As the LTI representation says, the system has both inputs and
outputs.

The inputs are our free-will choices (both good and bad); this also
includes angelic interventions (from both good angels and demons),
and direct miracle performed by God.

The outputs are rewards and punishments, as reward is the good that
we have sent into the system being reflected back upon ourselves,
and punishment is the evil that we have sent into the system being
reflected back upon ourselves.


This also explains the evil that comes into people's lives.

God does not send such evil by a direct act of His, but allows the
system to compute a "result."

If something bad happens to someone, it is *due* to that person as a
result of God's permissive will.

Synchronicity ensures that exactly the right evil comes into a
person's life, that that person needs (for either punishment,
purification, or sanctification).


For example, when we consider the 9/11 disaster (9 is the number of
God's power, and 11 is the number of judgment), every injury that
every person received (of whatever type), the exact type of death
that they experienced, was computed by synchronicity.

No doubt, God's mercy much ameliorated what would be strictly due
as a result of a brute computation.

He would do this by sending His angels in to minister, and He
Himself would perform supernatural miracles, where that was fit.

Answer 4

things happen because of actions
"bad" people will do what is best no matter what in order to get what they want, "good" people will do things that result bad things like getting advantage by someone else when helping someone.

Answer 5

It has to do with prudence.

Bad things happen to ill-prepared people.

Sometimes bad things happen to good people, but actual good people don't complain and blame the world, they deal with it and learn from it.

Answer 6

If you are a good person and do harmonious, correct things, then only good things happen to you as the result. If you are a bad person and do disharmonious things, then only bad things happen to you as the result.
But, when bad person lies to good one and good one believes in his lie, accept it, then good persons` vitality and luckiness goes to the bad person. It means, good things, that had to happen to good person, now will happen to bad person. And the opposite, bad things, that had to happen to bad person, will go to the good person and he will have them in his life.

Answer 7

Because life is not fair to people just because they are 'good." I think bad/good events are based solely on chance. Ex. a murderer winning the lottery, a nun getting in a car accident, etc... Those are extreme, but you get my gist...

Answer 8

Karma

Answer 9

How do you define a good or bad "happening"..? and more to the point, who is all "good" and who is all "bad"?

Answer 10

Events are just random. Also, unless you fully know a person, who is decide who is good and who is bad? Maybe the bad person just hasn't had his or her chance yet.
