This person is very good. He has never bad mouthed anyone...always wants to help people...always laughs and jokes..never hurt anyone in his life. Is totally nice and never sees bad in anyone. I dont believe in Karma. Its wicked to think like that because I cant believe babies and autistic children have been so bad in a previous life that they have to suffer like that. If they were bad in a previous life they would be bad in this life also. I have seen really bad people prosper in this life and the good die young or live to be really ill. It doesnt make sense to me.

Yes Carmavella God does listen to our prayers but where do you get the notion that he punishes the good and not the bad? God doesn't punish anyone because he loves us all, good or not.

Carmallev: What can anyone say to you. Your question is constantly asked by mant people throughout history, who have been tested by unfairness. WE all have free-will and we can't expect others to follow in our footsteps. Life was and is not fair. That doesn't mean there is no God. Something created us and that something is way beyond our understanding. We have laws - which shows us that as a collective soul we want a better world for all. There will always be some who laughing the face of humanity and charity.. but they are often caught,
Please keep your faith - it's sometimes all too easy to 'fight back' and let's face it we live in ever more testing times.
I can't say I'm a happy person but that maybe because we are entering the darkest hours of our history.
God can't help us always, we were not all meant to berich, popular and nobody lives forever.
God bleass you and all who feel as trapped as you do now
For the moment I would say only this; 'your salvation lies within you'.

God sure listens and answers prayers. God does not punish the good or bad as there is a judgement day. It is the devil that creates all problems for the humans in general and for the good. You may have good answers if you pray according to God's word the Bible. John 10:10 says the thief -the devil comes to steal kill and Destroy I am come to give eternal and abundant life. Receive it

The bad getting away with stuff has a name, karma dodging.
And there is a scripture that talks about it. The tares are weeds that have to stay in the wheat until harvest because to pull them out would also pull up the wheat. All of Matthew 13
I don't completely understand it but it might be because we get stronger and smarter and more kind by having to deal with people that are evil

I know its hard but its all to do with the Free will God gave us, God can not interfere with our lives, God does advise, God does guild us, but if we do good or bad its up to us, and just because it looks like someone is doing well in this life, does not mean they will in the afterlife, we are all here for a reason, good or bad. and of course we always blame God when things go wrong and expect him to put it right when we ask, why should he just about everything we that goes wrong is our fault, and until we learn this we must cope with the problems ourselves, people that prosper do so because we allow it, others suffer because we allow it, just think about it, and you will see we i am right

I belive in Karma, I don't think it's god punishing anyone. Someone good could have done something bad in there last life and if they were good in this life they will have a better one next time.

The bible says it rains on the just as well as the unjust. Noone is exempt from suffering, not even Christ. The Word says He learned obedience through what He suffered. So we ought to be glad we go through it makes us stronger. When we are weak then that's when we are really strong, because the power of God is operating through us pushing us to make it.

when the Lord came to earth he taught and and showed people his way was the right way and those that had faith believed.once he had asscended into heaven that was it.he has given us a final chance,an easy and forgiving way of worshipping the Lord God.this is why the bible seems like it has contradicted itself but infact it hasn't.when the lord came he taught a new way that anyone could follow if they choose.after showing them the way he depearted until the day of judgement and has left us to choose whether we want to believe or not.he doesn't punish anyone for being good but the point is we should have faith and believe in him and he will walk with us.it is stated in the bible that believers will be hated of men, but not because of their own doing.if you were God and you see people were good but they denied the very fact you created them how would you feel?!the lord says if we deny him he shall deny us also (2 timothy 2:12).
to sum it up, if you believe in the lord and do his will he will comfort you and protect you-bust.

Yes, he listens to our prayers. But sometimes he has better plans for us.
Why does he punish the good and not the bad? Well if you see something like that, God doesn't punish His people. Rather, it is Satan. Satan doesn't care about you. He just want more people to suffer with Him in hell. If he can make the "good people"s lives miserable, then they're less likely to spread God's word.

Because he does not exist!
God was invented by primitive man in order to explain what he could not understand.
Fortunately we now have science.
Try reading Richard Dawkins' excellent book The God Delusion. It is to the 21st century what the bible was to the dark ages!
