why do all the evil people have it easy?

Question

a friend of mine says that's just the way it is, but seriously?

Answer 1

My grandmother used to say "This is the only heaven sinners will ever know, and the only hell saints will ever know."

So.....we're waiting for our turn.

Answer 2

Hmmm. Lots of scriptural response to this.

The Lord causes the sun to rise and set on His children and on the wicked. This world is designed to be for everyone, regardless of position with God. There is good and bad for everyone in this sinful, fallen world! What looks like a mound of benefits for one person in one season, doesn't amount to a hill of beans in the larger picture of their life (here and eternal).

We have a tendency to glorify others' successes sometimes. Be careful you aren't going with a "feeling" here, rather than a right judgment. Are the "evil" people really making out? My Bible says that there is an end to each person's time on this planet. And, it says there will be righteous judgment in the end.

This world (and all that someone may amass in it) isn't worth too awful much in the grand scheme of things, is it? Whatever the cause that prompted this question has to be looked at with a careful heart. After all, the end for those called "wicked" or "evil" isn't something I would wish on anyone! And, while we are here, we have the distinct responsibility of the ministry of reconciliation.

Much said. Maybe nothing said. I hope it's helpful.

If it is true , then just remember , " this life is but a vapor ". Evil will end with ones` last breath , however dying as evil means the easiness is no longer , and the pain & agony begin , lasting forever !

Answer 4

Not all evil people have it easy, not all good people have it hard. There is no equality in this life. That alone should prove there isn't a god. Wouldn't he make things fair for the good and evil?

Answer 5

Evil people may look like they have it good on the outside, materially, but inside they are in torment and unhappy. Do you remember how you felt before coming to Jesus? I know that I was miserable, but did not realize it until I accepted Jesus.

Answer 6

I'm not sure that's true. I suspect that dictators -- for example -- must be afraid all the time, and rightly so.

If you mean, why do frauds and con men and criminals of all types appear to prosper, then you may have identified a problem. I recommend further study.

Good luck.

Answer 7

Asaph in Bible times asked the same question. I would highly recommend reading Psalm 73 in its entirety. Asaph eventually realized that the wicked may temporarily gain from their wickedness, but in the long run they end up in far worse straits that those that worship God.

Answer 8

The only people who have it easy in this life are those viewed by others and judged by others to have it easy

Answer 9

Actually they don't, thougt it can sometimes seem that way.

Scripture says that the wicked shall flourish like the green bay tree while the righteous will have it tough.

Just remember, what you sow, so shall you also reap and they're headed for a bumper crop of crap.

Answer 10

You sound like king David or one of the other Prophets who wrote in the Old Testament.
Many of them asked this question of God only to have it answered by the end of their prayer.

Answer 11

They don't follow the rules, and can indulge in physical worldly pleasures. But the good people get to go to Heaven in the end.

Don't give up.
