To effectively "preach" to other people you need _dishonesty,_ not "wisdom". Wisdom is not the tool needed to convince the child Santa Claus is real, nor to convince the vulnerable of the existence of an afterlife, nor the immorally weak people the veracity of a book that promotes or condones evil. Seeking wisdom is indeed a noble pursuit. It will make you a better human. However, the more wisdom you acquire, the more you'll realize theism lacks the empathy, facts, reason, and logic necessary to convince non-believers those god-myths are real. _All people are born atheist until someone lies to them._ -Aron Ra
The court room scene. God is Justice. Yes. There’s a line in the Old Testament. It is said God makes a crooked line straight. For all the injuries & injustices we endure will be make right. We weren’t made to last 90 years but for eternity. We are made in the likeness of God (soul).
Please consider this scenario: A man is waiting at a crosswalk of a busy intersection. He hears the cries of a terrified mother behind him. Turning around, he sees a toddler running in his direction, giving every sign the child will run past him and bolt into traffic. Now the man realizes that he could effortlessly extend his hand and stop the toddler, saving the child's life. He also understands stopping the child will prevent the untold heartaches of a mom watching her child horribly die, the trauma of the striking motorist, and the grief of every witness, relative and friend. Instead the man freely chooses to do nothing. Brakes screech, vehicles collide, lives are ruined and one is lost. The crosswalk light changes, and the man simply walks around the carnage and continues on his way, thinking "I will do the same in the future." _Do you think he acted reasonably?_ _Did he show any empathy or compassion?_ And a simple yes/no moral question: _Is the man who let a child horribly and needlessly die evil?_
@@humbleevidenceaccepter7712 i believe the same scenario is posed in the Old Testament between God and Caine after he killed Abel. the age question "am I my brother's keeper?"

God of the Bible is really unfair for some individuals: Some born less intelligent and weak and some born smart and strong. In the beginning God already knows who will be save and who will not by virtue of his wisdom. God prefers that Smart people will be save and learn from weak people who will not inherit the everlasting life at the end. Smart people can easily understand teachings of bible, making it obey God's Laws and avoid sins. Weak and less intelligent born people despite how they study bible, they cannot comprehend it, making them fell easily into deception and make sins and do some unpleasant to God. At the End: smart people who obeys God will be save and weak people who will not inherit everlasting life because their purpose only is an educational stuff for smart people (who was saved) that sins can cause chaos and death. So that in everlasting life Those smart people will not commit sins anymore because of what they've learned from weak people when they living on Earth. Question: So who is the unfair for all creature? Answer: God of the Bible himself
"It will suffice thee to remember as concerning pain ... that the mind may, by stopping all manner of commerce and sympathy with the body, still retain its own tranquility." -Marcus Aurelius
Good and Bad things happen to both Good and Bad people. The why is very simple. It is because as humans we to not have the ability to fully control energy. Energy never stops it just transfers. So the problem is we do not have the ability to control what energy we receive. All we can do is react to that particular energy after we receive it.
Nobody answered this but reality is that. Good people are aiming for salvation and the devil will find ways to shatter your goals and take you under and face destruction together. Bad people have none because under the devil, they are sealed.

People seem to forget, in today's modern world, what faith is all about. While it is the premise of all philosophy to doubt and ask the question "why?", just like a child often does, it is not the case, and could fundementally not be the case, in faith. For in faith one must surrender his reason for G-d's. One must abendon his logic for the creator's. Which, to me seems perfectly reasonible amd logical, considering the fact that the human can't comprehand G-d's mind (or can he?) In any case, just like when a loving parent says "because" to his child, and the child must learn to accept it for the moment, so does the human with G-d. this scene is rather sad, as it seems to me that he understands those people could never accept the answer of "us humans can't try to understand", and so he settles for the logical answer. An actual explanation, in order to momenterally satisfy those people. Beautiful.
@Nathan Z Solomon I think you misunderstood me. I'm a very strong believer in G-d and the entire purpose of my comment was to explain it, haha. As a jew I personally believe in the Jewish G-d and not in Jesus, but again I am a strong believer
@Nathan Z Solomon It's all good friend. To be honest, I've seen many religous people do it and I've never gone around to checking why, so whenever I write about Him, I try to do it like that. But I don't know the reason, would you mind explaining it to me? Is there any need for me to do that?
Absolute nonsense. There can absolutely be happiness without sadness. You don't need darkness in order for light to shine. A candle shines even in the brightest of days. Create a being with a limited set of desires and fulfill all of them for as long as that being exists. There you go: you have a perpetually happy being. Make its life devoid of all suffering and you will have a perpetually happy being.
This issue is easily understood whereas fallen man, remember, it's "fallen man," can not equate a good and loving God with why there is evil and suffering in the world. Such evil and suffering befell man the day Adam fell by taking and eating, as we read plainly recorded for us in Genesis. Part 2 of this equation is expressed in fallen man when Adam "passed the buck," so to speak, to Eve for his fall and from Eve who passed the buck to Satan typified by the serpent there in the Garden. Conclusion... fallen man simply can not take the blame for his evil actions, but he'll readily take recognition for his good actions, such as getting himself saved by false gospels.
So that they can ask themselves that question. And understand that what they did was not good and if they want to continue receieve goodness they have to change. I personally have never met a bad person who didnt change after receive good and continued getting good things in his life. No one can escape suffering. Coming from a person who people thought had a happy life, I can assure you if I did not get a glipse of goodness, I would most definately continue my bad ways or worse ended my life long ago. Never judge, you don't know a person behind his Persona. The biggest Hell I lived was comparing my suffering to others. Do not go that path I did, not worth it. Peace be upon you brother👍
Maybe consider the fact that ‘good’ happening to bad people prevents them from being put in situations where they would have to lean on and cry out to God for help, which could very well ultimately lead to their salvation. If they think they’ve been given all they need, they’re less likely to seek out God, which plays directly into the devil’s hand; they more or less skate through life, bypassing their conscious choice to choose God over sin and only to be destined for Hell, versus someone who might go through a lot of difficulty in order to be strengthened and build character and learn to be dependent on God, and is ultimately gifted eternal life. My point is, I think sometimes the “good” being given to cruddy people might just be the devil satiating their unholy desires in an attempt to make sure they don’t try to reach out to God. That way he gets one more soul, unfortunately. I hope that makes at least a little bit of sense to you. I could be well wrong, but I don’t think it’s antithetical to scripture to believe this is the case at least some of the time.
If I as a mere person, can imagine a world/universe, where nothing bad happens, why can't a supposed all powerful, all knowing deity create one. Why can't there be happiness without sadness, what purpose does pain have?
I answer your question WITH a question... What is the golden rule...? NO, other people aren't acting that way... YOU however are... and THAT is why there is pain in the world... For Empathy and Mercy to be planted and grow...
@@Videogeek95 Either your god cannot stop catastrophes, OR doesn't care to, OR doesn't exist. That means either your god is powerless, OR evil, OR imaginary. Take your pick and choose wisely.
Because of sin we fall short in the glory of God. That's why everywhere is full of pain and death. But there is a way to get out of that mess, accept Jesus Christ as your personal savior and he will provide you your needs, plus you're saved and welcomed to heaven leaving this old world behind. :-)
@@thegrimreaper6926 or, just saying, this god, if it truly is all loving, all knowing and all powerful, could do things different, you know, no pain, no death, it could do that, couldn't it? but chooses not to.
There can be no light without shadow. Light without dark is like day without a night. To say that God ALLOWS bad things to happen is almost like accusing Him of instigating those things, or giving permission for them to happen. Living on this earth means that evil and bad things happen. It's just the way it is. But there's an awful lot of good, too, if you look for it.
Bad things happen to good people? That only happened once. There has been only one good person. Jesus Christ. He never sinned once. The bad thing that happened, being beaten and nailed to a cross, and drinking the cup of Gods wrath to the very last drop, was bad for him. But it was actually a good thing for us. He paid our sin debt. A debt we couldn’t pay. He was the perfect lamb of God, who sacrificed His perfect life for our sin. A lamb without blemish. Bad things happen to bad people. The Bible says that there is none that does good, not even one. Psalm 14:3.

@@humbleevidenceaccepter7712 The simple answer is yes. The question was why do bad things happen to good people. The Bible says that no one is good, not even one. Even that child was born with a sin nature. Even if the child was to young to know what sin is and God would have taken the child back to Himself. The thing is, we are all evil in Gods eyes. If our standard of a good person is another person who does good things and doesn’t hurt others, and helps others and is a really good person, humanly speaking, we don’t know their thoughts. Our standard for goodness is Jesus Christ. We are all worse than we think we are. He is the only one born with out sin.
@@johnkranig2054 Thanks for honestly answering the question. One follow up question for you to ponder: We both agree the man is not reasonable not empathetic, and is indeed immorally evil. So, would you agree this also makes your god evil because it also allows catastrophes to needlessly happen? _Or do you hold your god to lower standards of reason, empathy and morality than even that one evil man?_
@@humbleevidenceaccepter7712 God is not man. Is God responsible because sinful people behave in a sinful way? No. Is God evil for wanting to reconcile sinful man back to Himself that He sent His Son to pay the penalty of our sin so that we could be reconciled back to Him , to live with Him in paradise. 6 For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For one will scarcely die for a righteous person-though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die- 8 but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God. 10 For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life. 11 More than that, we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation. 12 Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned- 13 for sin indeed was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not counted where there is no law. 14 Yet death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those whose sinning was not like the transgression of Adam, who was a type of the one who was to come. 15 But the free gift is not like the trespass. For if many died through one man's trespass, much more have the grace of God and the free gift by the grace of that one man Jesus Christ abounded for many. 16 And the free gift is not like the result of that one man's sin. For the judgment following one trespass brought condemnation, but the free gift following many trespasses brought justification. 17 For if, because of one man's trespass, death reigned through that one man, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man Jesus Christ. 18 Therefore, as one trespass led to condemnation for all men, so one act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all men. 19 For as by the one man's disobedience the many were made sinners, so by the one man's obedience the many will be made righteous. 20 Now the law came in to increase the trespass, but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more, 21 so that, as sin reigned in death, grace also might reign through righteousness leading to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (Romans 5:6, ESV) No I will not say God is evil.
@@johnkranig2054 *"No I will not say God is evil."* But the man who acted the same _is_ evil? Actually, the man is less evil than your god, because he only ruined dozens of lives and let one person die in my scenario. Your god in reality allows _millions_ to die needlessly from hunger, earthquakes, tornadoes, floods, etc., every single year. You accept unreasonable and immoral behavior from your omnibenevolent god (who should behave BETTER) than even one lowly mammal. Ya might wanna rethink that.
Bad things happen because mankind is sinful, we live the world of Man, not God, we are without God's grace, fallen from righteousness, bad things will happen until he comes to sift the good from the evil, heaven and Earth are remade, as laid out in Revelation.
It's a trick question 😲, or at least a fatally flawed question. It assumes that there are good people. While it may be said that God allows things - good and bad - to happen for His own purpose, it may not be rightly said that he allows good people to suffer bad, because people are not good. Some of us are "worse" than others, but none of us are truly "good" (Good defined as moral excellence - Webster). In fact, God has made it plain that "all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23). The truth is the best of us come up short of what is truly good in the eyes of the Almighty: (as it is written: “None is righteous, no, not one; no one understands; no one seeks for God. All have turned aside; together they have become worthless; no one does good, not even one.” “Their throat is an open grave; they use their tongues to deceive.” “The venom of asps is under their lips.” “Their mouth is full of curses and bitterness.” Their feet are swift to shed blood; in their paths are ruin and misery, and the way of peace they have not known.” “There is no fear of God before their eyes.” -- various scriptures) The real question ought to be, "why does God allow good things to happen to bad people?" Historically, God did allow bad things to happen to the only truly good person to ever live. Jesus Christ, that was so bad people could be made "good". "He who knew no sin became sin for us, so that we might become the righteousness of God" (2 Corinthians 5:21). Simply put, Jesus suffered what we all deserve (God's just Wrath for our sins) so that we may not, AND have eternal life in his name with the eternal God who made us. But why do people still suffer? There is still a lot that can be said about that. It's partly because we live in a sinful, fallen World with evil people, and with a creation that is under a curse because of our evil. But God also uses some of those bad things for good in people's lives, even as the second video clip suggested. There is a lot more that could be said, but if you struggle with suffering, do not despair or become cynical, but keep asking questions. Keep seeking, keep knocking, keep asking... (c.f. Matthew 7:7). 👍
There is really nothing wrong with the question if we understand the context. She is not saying that people are inherently good but that "bad" things happen to righteous people; that is, people who want to live for God. The Bible describes some as "good" although there is none good in the context of absolute righteousness. For example, Acts 11:24, Barnabas was called a good man. It doesn't mean he was absolutely good. In the same way, there is none Holy...yet the bible described some as holy men ( 2 Peter 1:21). Context matters
I guess the question is related to me in this sense. My sister died October 1st 2022. For the last 20 years she was extremely ill, she was a very good person, she was human, so not perfect. So why did bad things happen to her.
Thank you for asking, I’m glad you’re looking for answers even though this difficult and sad thing happened in your life and in her life too. I’m a Christian who is struggling with the same kind of questions because knowing children out there are being abused is painful to me every day. I want to protect them and shield them. This is the only comfort I have: If God loves us more in a second that any one person could in a lifetime, then all of this pain hurts him too. He is there beside us for it all, and it breaks his heart more than it breaks ours. We can see these characteristics in the accounts of His son that He sent. Also His words says regarding this world, “For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us.” Romans 8:18 I have to hold on to that hope. This verse I picture like this, the evil and good we experience in this world is like a nightmare, which seems so real at the time, but one day we wake up in light and this life that seemed so real, so amazing and awful, will seem like a distant dream not worthy to be compared to what He is preparing for us. This world is where we get to decide whether we choose to follow our own desires and the path the world would have us to go, or to turn and choose to follow him instead. That is the purpose of this life. His goal isn’t for us to be happy for 80 years on earth, it’s for us to find happiness in Him for eternity. The Bible also says, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay.” Deuteronomy 32:35 If our pain is coming from a person, He is a God love, but also of justice, who in the end promises to make all things right, and justice will be dealt to those who harm these children. God says it will be worse for those who harm children than to have a mill stone hung around their neck and thrown into the sea. But illness is different. I think everyone has a different trial to face on this earth, some are much much harder than others. No one can fathom how God works because His ways are higher than our ways, we can’t see the whole picture. But in the end (not in this world unfortunately, where the rain falls on the just and unjust alike), He will make ALL things right and balance all the scales. That’s all I’ve got, I hope something in all that helps. And I’m sorry about your sister, I hope God heals your heart and you can grieve her well and remember her fondly.
My sister died at the age of 24 to Lupus in 2002, and not long after her husband divorced her while she was sick. She was a good person and though not perfect... I really wanted to understand WHY HER??! ... (1.) Then I found HOPE because of a scripture that reads, "And the prayer of faith shall "SAVE" the sick and the Lord shall "RAISE" them up." (- James 5:15)... You can add that to John 3:16... -- Notice that the word "SAVE" is in the place of where we would expect to see the word "HEAL." (2.) The very best, most complete of all healings SIMPLY WILL NOT happen in this corrupt and morally bankrupt world of FREE WILL... (2.) Dude, the story about the origin of EVIl itself is a long, misunderstood one... OKAY... (My sister is with the Lord now... By faith, I know that she must be happy and no longer sick.) (3.) It would do me NO long-term GOOD to be angry and objectionable to the God that she trusted her eternal soul to... especially if I have any intention of seeing her and all of my other loved ones again!... And trust me, I want to be there and nowhere else!... That HOPE is the position of my faith as a Christian now... I don't know if you are a person of faith, but you have to decide for yourself what to invest your HOPE in. - Just trying to help.
Heaven and earth is impartial; disregarding love and hatred and never gives a differential treatment. To see through the superficial means to accept all things as equal, no longer treating humans as a superior race and demeaning other living beings. Life and death is nature’s law. All living beings are equal and all have the same right to survive and die. The pigs whose only purpose of life is to be reared and slaughtered for us to eat, The eggs that were not even given the chance to see light. What’s the difference between them and human? We will all end up the same. Dead. So what will you believe? The harsh and cruel truth or will you rely on God for comfort? I for one will pray and believe, if there is afterlife, your sister will surely be compensated for all the misfortune she had in this live.
@Nathan Z Solomon Firstly, I would like to thank you for all your suggestion so far, I appreciate it. I do like you as a person. But we merely have a different opinion. Now, your worries are groundless and unfounded. You are severely underestimating humanity. Where there are civilization there will be law and regulation to control the stupid masses. Otherwise, like you said, "chaos". People that kill, steal, rape and commit crime wantonly without a care are short-sighted people that ignores the long-term benefits for short-term benefits. If everyone were that stupid then humanity might as well go extinct for all I care. Law and regulation are man-made, justice is man-made, punishment for crime are man-made. What I said was the worldly truth not my belief. Were was I wrong? In truth, there is indeed no justice, no wrong or right, and you can commit as many sin as you wish. Only your fellow human will punish you in the name of justice because you get in the way of their benefits and safety. But will god punish you? will heaven punish you? will nature punish you? No! (Maybe in afterlife, but who cares? see below for reference) What is the difference between an egg and a human life? none! For all living beings are equal; heaven and earth are impartial! (People do eat fertilized egg, human also eat fellow human). Russian-Ukraine war: 42,295 death 15,000 missing 140,000 buildings destroyed property damage: $350 Billion. Since you claim 'Dead' is scientifically incorrect and that nothing dies and everything is eternal. Can they come to life? Please! explain this for me! Do enlighten me.....Why?.....Where is love here? Where is peace? They are openly killing, stealing and raping! where is justice? where is crime? where is the punishment?!! This is the truth of the world.... But is there chaos? Is there panic? No. That's how good the government have become at controlling it. Russian invaded Ukraine for benefit, without benefit they wouldn't bother. Only benefit is eternal, I do agree with that though.
@Nathan Z Solomon The pleasure is mine, thank you for sharing all this. I enjoyed reading it very much, I mean it. Wise and eloquent. You walk your path with such clarity. As I thought, I really like you. A shame I don’t know you outside youtube. I would like to share some last personal thing. I had once dreamed, that I was in a pitch black darkness. Then a creak* sound echoed to my ears, I looked up to the source and saw what resembled a heavens door opening as its bright light slowly illuminated the stairs that leads to it, step by step. When the last step was lit, I took my first step towards the door. Just as I was about to reach the end, a hand as fair as an angel reached out to me. I wanted to grab the hand and walk through the door but I…Didn’t. I walked back to where I thought I belonged. Then my dream ended and I found out that I had fainted without knowing. Touching my head to see if there was blood, afraid I had knocked my head on something. I felt the dream was very weird. But since then I began to lose my faith. My world view changed into what you see from reading my comments. Of course there were many other factors, but that’s when I felt was the beginning. My conscience from deep within was speaking to me. I wonder what was behind the door, What if I had grabbed the hand? Well then, time we go our own way now. Once again, thank you. I also wish you the best, the most respectable believer of God I’ve talked to.
It's simple; we have to rely and depend on ourselves. Even if God interferes, he does it so rarely that we cannot rely on him, and we have to make things happen for ourselves. This is why there are people who are atheists and agnostics who live enjoyable, content lives, and that there are also Christians and other religious people who live undesirable lives. Even if there's some afterlife waiting for us after we're dead, we shouldn't have to wait until after we're dead to enjoy ourselves; we should be enjoying both this life, and the afterlife if there is one.
Free Will. Bad things happen to good people. In order to practice Free Will one must also be the subject of Free Will. As we impose our Free Will on both ourselves and those around us and those around us impose it on themselves and us. Whether we do good or evil. It is our and their decisions.
Flawed question. No one is good but God. All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. The wages of sin is death. The question is why does a holy God ever allow anyone to live after they sin? Everyone should immediately go to hell the moment they sin against a thrice holy God.
God gives us mercy. How do I know that? He should have killed me in my sleep last night for what I thought yesterday. And as I look around at all the people I see, I’m not the only one He showed it too either.
Bad things happen to everyone. No god/ghost/superhero/fairy tale is going to stop it, sadly. Hang around long enough though and good things may happen. Be free. Don't follow the crowd like a sheep.
Why do bad things happen to good people? The answer is simply No. The correct question is: “Why did a bad thing happen to The Good Person?” The answer of course is that He volunteered.
Sometimes the bad happen bc God needs a badass assistant that only they know they can defeat the monsters that do horrible things. God made this very overprotected girl strong.
God makes you earn what you ask for basically. God puts you on this earth without asking then makes you earn what you ask for😂 Like taking a puppy in, who didn't ask to be brought in. Then telling him to earn his own bed, his own food, his own water when he wants those items. Yeah makes sense😭
He asked for everything else, but not for guidance. Ask God guidance to the light and see what happens for yourself. If he asked God a guidance he would have found wisdom, love, courage and strength without difficulties.
As long as people do not understand their true identity beyond this body, and as long as they do not understand the law of karma and reincarnation then people will always have a vague speculation of why bad things happen to good people.
In the beginning of the world it was perfect no death, sickness, or pain God created us in his image and likeness he also gave us free will then the devil deceived Eve and Adam and unraveled the perfect harmony that God had created because sin entered the world. Now we all live in a fallen and fractured world that's why bad terrible things happen to good people and we all are just as guilty the only thing we can do is to repent and trust in the savior Jesus Christ it's not what we can do but what He has done for us Amen. my prayer is for the world to see then receive salvation from the Lord Amen!!!🙏🙏🙏🙏
No, its not "why do bad things happen to me?" It really is "why do bad things happen to good people?" Let me give you an example, I am 43 years old, I have no major health issues and I don't think my life right now is too bad, yes it could be better, I could have been born into the family of a billionaire, but it could have been far worse, and I am happy that my life is not. In 1993 I watched my cousin die of cancer, I watched him beg to die, the doctors gave him as much pain killers as they were legally able to do so, anymore and they would have killed him and received a murder charge. He eventually drowned in the mucus of his own lungs, eyes bloodshot from the last 72 hours of his life in total agony. To be honest I wouldn't wish this upon the worst serial killer. Meanwhile Pol Pot dies peacefully in his death bed at age 76 which was average for a person in Cambodia at that time. So now lets look at the answer. I don't know if my cousin asked for strength, wisdom, courage, or love, its possible he did, if so dying an agonising death was not "his prayers being answered." "an we hold god accountable?" Absolutely yes, if god is real then nothing happens that is not his will, good or bad, everything from dying an agonising death to finding the love of your life, its all his will. So again, if hes real he is accountable. Tracy asks: "what about kids my age that sick and die?" God character: "there is nothing I can do about pain and suffering." Yes that is a cop out and a pile of BS, an all powerful God means he has no limits, nothing he can not do. If there is nothing God can do about pain and suffering then the bible is a lie and God is not all powerful. also the next time someone is supposedly miraculously cured that is not a miracle at all, because a miracle requires divine interference, and that interference is often someone being cured from their painful ailment. Suggestion box: Make the maximum amount of pain anyone a stubbed toe, now you can have happy and sad, good and bad, pain and pleasure.
Why do good things happen to bad people and bad things happen to bad people and good things happen to good people? Bad things are God testing you to find out what He already knows.
Why Do Good Things Happen to Bad People? Earth is All and Only Heaven They Will Ever See. Why? Because We're the Good Guys, Keeping the Faith. (smile) Amen.
Bad people happen 2 good people people r the ones who do bad things 2 good people. It's not like something bad just happened no a bad person does bad things 2 good people.
Cancer, natural disasters, and wild animal attacks... Who inflicted these acts of bad will towards any of these victims? Who do we blame? Humans are not the sole cause for all bad things that happen. There are plenty of things humans are responsible for, but the question is "Why do bad things happen to good people?" The answer is well spoken in the video.

There is no such thing as a good person. Jesus said this - not me (Mark 10:18). Those who think they are good people have been deceived by the deceiver of the whole world (Revelation 22:9) into thinking themselves to be something before human and heaven (Galatians 6:2) when they forget if their only hope left is salvation in God, they are wretches and of most men, miserable (1 Corinthians 15:19). Those who get duped into thinking they are good because they generally do good things for others will never accept the fact they are sinners and must face the negative consequences of continuing in sins unrepented of. Yes, God is always pleased when we do good for others and when we make sacrifices for the (Hebrews 13:16) but Jesus was crucified for sinners, not saints.

@@YouMe-oj6ow I always prayed everyday for the good health of my parents way before my mom got a super agressive cancer. She passed away 4 months ago. 😢 And to answer your question: My mother eat more vegetables and walks back and forth to the market @2km 2 times day. Cancer does not choose or discriminate, it will grow inside the body undetected even the healthiest person because it is a gene mutation. There were so many young women at the cancer treatment center where my mom had her chemo. Talked to some of them some were also living a healthy lifestyle but still got cancer.
because god see you heart and know your needs, some thing happenend and sometime you on the wrong spot but when god sends you difficulty, it is because he wants to teach you something or to try to pull you closer to him, to depend on him, remember brother that we are his child we dont know any better, make sure you trust and praise your perfect father through the good and the bad things that happens. Just like a father would punish his children or forbid his kids from something, it is always for the futur good of him. When you spoil your kid and dont put bounderies you know what happens the kids becomes selfish and entiteld.. when you protect them they become insecure and weak etc... the same way god the father is teaching you through pain so that one day you will be better. remember that you are still a children even if you are 60yo. learn to trust god the almighty for he is your real father and creator. the alpha and the omega the singularity of all that exist. his thought are law and his very existance is the meaning of perfection because everything is from and for god. he is the standard for everything. have faith, learn to trust first and then the love for father almighty will flow and will be at peace and for your first time WHOLE
