If God exists why good people suffer and others escape/WHy so many accidents?

Answer 1

See there is nothing like good people or bad people . Everyone is good but when one does a mistake knowingly or unknowingly then that person is known as bad persons.
U know everyone is punished for their mistakes which they do knowing or unknowingly.
But I believe that we (all) are being tested by God if we r having capability of facing all the sufferings . When u have a small problem u see it as a very big problem but when u have a big problem u feel the other as a lighter one . U forget the previous when u face a new problem.
The accidents occurs due to our carelessness.

WE ARE BORN TO LIVE BUT AT THE SAME TIME WE HAVE TO DIE ONE DAY OR THE OTHER .

Your question is good . We should know about this . Thanks for asking this and reading my answer patiently.

Answer 2

Sufferings, accidents are all because if ignorance of the human beings. God gave us free will so that we can take care of the world. But we were ignorant towards his teaches. As a result, we as an integral part of the world face the consequences.

About good people. I doubt if any one in this world is perfect enough to be called as a good person or a samaritan. Everyone has some flaws. By some media or other, we have to pay for those flaws.

Answer 3

In the beginning God completely sustained His creation without blemish. That’s why it was perfect. He held every atom together in a perfect state. He kept the planets in their orbits. He kept animals from tripping and breaking their necks. He did not allow people to suffer and die.
Deuteronomy 8:4 gives us a little glimpse of how things might have been in the original creation. “Thy raiment waxed not old upon thee, neither did thy foot swell, these forty years.” God is omnipotent and perfectly capable of sustaining and protecting his creation.
When Adam sinned, however, the Lord cursed the universe. In essence there was a change and along with that change God seemingly took away a little bit of his sustaining power and allowed things like suffering and death into His creation. Now He permits bad things to happen—and this is a reminder that sin has consequences and that the world needs a Savior. Romans 8:22 says, “For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.”

God took pleasure in all of His creation ("http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?passage=revelation+4:11&version=NKJV"), but He loved people most of all. He allowed the created universe to deteriorate so we would see the consequences of our sin. If we did not see the consequences of our sin, we would never see that we need salvation from our sin, and we would never accept His offer of mercy for our sin. Most people easily recognize that there is a problem in the world. This can be used to show them that there is one who has overcome this problem of death and suffering—Jesus Christ.

Answer 4

God is not responsible for the people's suffering or enjoyment.
It is due to their own Karma that they are suffering.

Not only that one suffers in this janma(birth) because of one's bad karma in the previous birth, but also enjoys because of one's good karma in the previous birth.

That is the reason why somebody is born with diseases, poverty, foolish etc... and suffers because of that. That is the reason why somebody is born with good health, richness intelligence etc... and is happy because of that.

It is the misconception people have that God puts one in that condition. The all merciful Lord who is compassionate would be showing partiality to put somebody in misery while somebody is enjoying life happily.

Imagine that two people have different desires that are conflicting with each other, and wants it to be fulfilled and approach God for that. For example, one farmer wants rain so that he can grow crops and a potter does not want rain so that he can dry his pots.
God does not fulfill one's desire thus not fulfilling another's desire.
He is involved in this. He has created the law of Karma, "As you sow so shall you reap".

Ultimately one should understand that this material world is temporary and miserable and one has to leave this world and go back to the eternal spiritual world from where we came.

Answer 5

God allows man free agency! That means, sometimes unfortunately, that man has the freedom to act upon himself or others as he chooses. Some people don't consider the consequences of their actions on innocent bystanders and then there are those who just don't care. That's why we are given rules or commandments to live by. If we follow those commandments those "accidents" decrease immensely!

Answer 6

Good question.
The answer is that this world is governed by the devil
1 John 5:19 tells us:
"....the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one."
That's why Jesus constantly taught that his followers should be "no part of the world." John 17:14
Satan is in his 'last days'. He knows he is about to be destroyed.
If he can't rule people, then he wishes to take them down with him.
Blame Satan, not God.

Answer 7

The church will give you some BS about God wanting to stay out of our lives. Yet as soon as someone survives a hurricane suddenly its a miracle. If there is a god he is an evil genius, plotting and planning our every move and manipulating our movements for his own enjoyment.

Answer 8

Because if there is a God, that God does not have unilateral control over the course of cosmic events.

Alternatively, there may be a "ground of being" which is functionally indifferent to us, and a plethora of gods doing their thing -- and their conflicts result in our accidents.

Answer 9

Why does God permit suffering?

Who really is to blame for it?

Humans are to blame for much of the suffering. They fight wars, commit crimes, pollute the environment, often carry on business in a manner motivated by greed rather than concern for their fellowman, and sometimes indulge in habits that they know can be harmful to their health. When they do these things, they hurt others and themselves. Should it be expected that humans would be immune to the consequences of what they do? Is it reasonable to blame God for these things that humans themselves do?

Satan and his demons also share responsibility. The Bible discloses that much suffering is because of the influence of wicked spirits. The suffering for which so many people blame God does not come from him at all.

How did suffering get started? Examination of the causes focuses attention on our first human parents, Adam and Eve. Jehovah God created them perfect and put them in paradise surroundings. If they had obeyed God, they would never have got sick or died. They could have enjoyed perfect human life forever. Suffering was not part of Jehovah’s purpose for mankind. But Jehovah clearly told Adam that continued enjoyment of what He had given them depended on obedience.

Obviously, they had to breathe, eat, drink, and sleep in order to continue living. And they had to keep God’s moral requirements in order to enjoy life fully and to be favored with such life forever. But they chose to go their own way, to set their own standards of good and bad, and thus they turned away from God, the Life-Giver. (Gen. 2:16, 17; 3:1-6) Sin led to death. It was as sinners that Adam and Eve produced children, and they could not pass on to their children what they no longer had. All were born in sin, with inclinations toward wrongdoing, weaknesses that could lead to illness, a sinful inheritance that would eventually result in death. Because everyone on earth today was born in sin, all of us experience suffering in various ways..

Ecclesiastes 9:11 says that “time and unforeseen occurrence” also have a bearing on what happens to us. We may get hurt, not because the Devil directly causes it or because any human does it, but because by chance we are in a place at the wrong moment.


Jesus performed many miracles to demonstrate that he was the Messiah. He even raised the dead. Those works attracted the crowds, but Jesus did not come to earth merely to do a social work. He came to bear witness to the truth. He knew that any material benefits he provided were temporary. Even the resurrected ones would die again. Only by bearing witness to the truth could he help some to gain everlasting life. (Luke 18:28-30) Today, some individuals try to imitate Jesus’ good works by opening hospitals or performing other services among the world’s poor. In some cases, they do this at great personal cost, and their sincerity is commendable; but any relief they supply is temporary at best. Only the Kingdom a Heavenly Government that Jesus talked about when He was on the Earth will bring permanent relief.

Answer 10

Satan is the one who causes people to suffer in this world. Not God. Satan loves to watch people get hurt because when we hurt God hurts and Satan hates God.Accidents are not accidents. Satan causes them.
