"If God gave me His power for a day you would see how many things I would change about this world. If God gave me His wisdom too I would leave things as they are."
it is written that what we liken our own form of righteousness to in our eyes, is what God likens into filthy rags or ( a menstrual cloth). the religious leaders called Jesus good teacher and He said, why do you call me good? he had come to bring the good news to the poor of the jews. but to those who were misleading them he didn't have such a message. He came to save sinners and the downtrodden. that would make Him their good teacher.
Wtf? So one can live an almost perfectly good life following all the teachings of god, but then be slips once and God allows him to get hit by a bus and be paralyzed from the neck down ? Please tell me if i misunderstood
@@henriquetolentino6181 you did misunderstand because for us it is impossible to live a perfect sinless life, that's why Jesus died for us, all you have to do to get into heaven is accept Jesus as your lord and savior

@@trooper326 It was God’s plan to save this person through her baby’s death although it was painful.

this question reflects your subconscious a lot because this reflects me that you consider things like sex, power, money, fame as good things but in reality they are pleasures. Perhaps you do not understand that being with God means obtaining pleasures that neither power, fame, money, nor the sex of this world can match. Perhaps No one in this world has received "the good stuffs yet"
@@jesusfontalvo703 You would be putting words into my mouth that I never said. I do not call those things good. I call love, peace, joy, kindness, a blessed marriage, blessed children, food, clothes, and a roof over my family's head good. Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God. Mark 10:18 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God. Jeremiah 17:9 ¶ The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? That is why I say, Why does God allow good things to happen to bad people. All sin which means there are none good. Maybe you should judge righteously instead of making a false judgment.
@@jeremymccglasson8338 oh,i sorry but rather to be a false judgment is more like i misinterpret your question , you never clarify what is good . and thats why i said "reflect" because i don't know your real being.despite watching the sun reflect in a puddle i can't said the puddle is the sun and sometimes this reflections come with some distortion. if i don't know what is the sun, for me the sun is the reflection. however is my wrong doing not to follow a better process which mean asking you what is good before me making assumptions.

Humans can only help themselves...thousands die in Africa from drinking dirty water but the catholic church sends only missionaries but not money....the catholic church is worth billions.....Christians are dying because they think Jesus will save them and don't have a covid vaccine...we are alone on this planet and you will get just 1 life...don't waste it
Another excellent response by Dr. Turek. The rain falls on the just and the unjust. Look at the fates of the Apostles. Yes, none are good, not one. Most people can't comprehend that because they compare themselves to others. Memo to all: God isn't going to grade on a curve. He will use his measurement and we all fall short without accepting the gift that Jesus provided and the grace it brings.
I've learnt that God let's bad things happen to good people because he loves them. When something bad happens to a person where does that person turn to? He turns to God for help and comfort. And that's what God wants. A person who has a good, problem free life has no reason to need God or go to him for help because he simply thinks he has everything. But such person is spiritually dead inside. We need God in our lives or else we have nothing. So when God gives us heartache we should look at it as a blessing.. He is constantly working on us and the devil in the other hand is constantly pulling towards sin.. So trials in life keep us close to God.. Ultimately our reward will be Heaven. And I'm sorry, but without hard times and heartbreak we simply can't get that reward.
Turek is very adept at making things that are obviously challenging sound logical and cohesive ....its a learned talent that very few apologist actually master.
According to Christian theology Jeffrey Dalhmer serial killer who found Jesus in prison is presumably in heaven but some like Gandhi who was an Hindu is now burning for eternity in hell....now isn't that just f****** up
This is actually not a good response, but I dont blame him because there are no good answers to this question. His argument is that we dont know whether something is bad, because of the ripple effect. In that case why bother with the concepts of good and evil in the first place, or even morality.
Just wanted to share a true story-after years of prayers for my dad to convert to Catholic, he did and he said this was why. He witnessed a miracle. My 18 month old sister fell in fire ants, dehydrated and slipped into a 6 week coma where she was completely unresponsive. Drs said she would be in a vegetable state or soon pass away. My parents thought they were being punished, couldn’t understand why this was happening. Mom called our Msgr to come bless her. He brought The True Cross(Relic of Jesus’ Cross), said prayers and placed it on her chest. She sat straight up, then turned on her side and woke up an hour later. She’s graduated college, married, has grandchildren now. God uses people to draw others to Him. Sometimes we don’t understand the reason, but He always has a good one.

Matthew 5:45-46 "That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: *for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.* For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?"
artsychic2000 in this scriptures context Jesus is saying that God blesses everyone. They had an agricultural economy and so rain and sunshine are blessings because they are both needed for crops to grow.
Well, seeing as the catholic church among others actually worship the sun god, lucifer, it is important to be specific so that people know who you are referring to. Lucifer is the sun god and the god of the elements. Fire, earth, air and water. It is an ancient tradition for people to worship lucifer so that he brings rain when they need it and sun, etc and even sacrifice their children and livestock to him. One must be specific if they are talking about the true King, Jesus Christ the Son of the Living God.
artsychic2000 again, Jesus said the Father brings rain and sunshine. The Devil is not the god of the elements any control he may have over them is dictated by God as He ( Heavenly Father) is Sovereign.
Then, please do not call Jesus Christ the sun of God. He is the Son of God. Understand that all nations, after babylon was destroyed were given demonic entities over them. These are the kings they worship. Father allowed people to obey Him and when they did not they were scattered and had these entities put over them by their choice.
You know how to look, but you don't know how to make your eyes see. You know how to walk but you don't know how to make your legs work. It's a gift. Your soul and spirit is a gift. The world itself is a created for humans. The whole operation of the cosmos is done by God, the weather and everything else.
God also said He will put a hedge around us Job 1:10. Does this apply only to Job? Since we are WIP, surely God would bless us. Not forgetting that we are Jesus' lambs. He promised to take care of us.
In weightlifting, you must have resistance to grow stronger. If you want to be more loving (good to others), hate my be encountered so that love grows stronger. If you want to be helpful, situations may arise where help is needed. It's 2024, and there are lots of bad things happening. The Bible says that when the wicked increase it's so that God can gather them all in one place and dispose of them. Ask God for more patience, faith, and belief while waiting for the answer to this question. And beware of false teachers.
Why not just go with the obvious and simple explanation, that God must be both good and evil? If God created everything and evil is inherent in creation, then evil must be part of God too. The creator is a reflection of the creation, so if creation contains evil and good, then so does the creator. Simple logic. Easy as pie. I don't get why that's beyond most people. It's very simple and explains a lot. The book of Isaiah also says that the Lord creates both good and evil. And Carl Jung said that evil is just the shadow side of God. All ancient religions and secret societies taught that God was good and evil too. Only the Abrahamic religions deviate from this and claims that God is only 100 percent good and 0 evil. Hence they are an aberration.

"Bad things" come part and parcel with free will. How many "bad things" do we see happen that were caused by...well...people? Are there accidents, well yes, but that is part of life. Let's look at this the opposite case...what would life be where "nothing bad" ever happened. It wouldn't be life...it would be heaven. That comes later.
This might be some pagan God, but it is not Yahweh, the creator who is. Read the Bible a few times to understand the flow of biblical history and God's rescue mission to we who have lived in rejection of his love, and thus the pigsty of mess we are in, reminding us that we are in the pigsty. That's the 'job' of suffering and evil, otherwise we'd all thing everything is OK when it is very much not, and there can be no solution to this from within the pigsty.

nickj, you're going about this in the wrong way, of course the bible says that, and even if it didn't he could just create a new bibble that says jesus loves him. you have to compare his claim to another book that exists and makes the same claim. for instance, mormonism. how is your jesus true and the jesus in the mormon religion false?
this was a horrible answer. why does God "allow" evil??, simple, God has given human beings free will, in our sinful fallen condition WE choose to do evil, God "allows" it becouse we have free will.. NOTE!!!.....what God "allows" and what is Gods will are TWO COMPLETLY DIFFERENT THINGS!....remember that. God will allow me to rob a store becouse Im not a robot but a free will creature God created, However if I rob a store Im going 100% against Gods will and I will suffer the consequences. Why doesnt God stop evil? becouse if he did he would be violating our free will & we would be robots. the only time God violates our free will is in judgement..
I never really worry about bad things happening because I always keep this thought in my mind: “God is an omniscient being, he clearly has very good reasons for allowing bad things to happen”.
@@eprimetimeshow322 touché... ;-) for less as a i should or could i guess! but i don' think that was the point! it was aimed at the synical attidute of claiming there is a reason for the suffering... as if that justifies the inequality. even though i - opportunisticly - benifit for it.. i don't justify it.
answer to the question, see Mark 10:17 "Now as He was going out on the road, one came running, knelt before Him, and asked Him, “Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?” So Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one good but One, God. All bad and "good" people are sinners.
Bad things happen to sinners. Sinners are those of us whose nature is against God. We're all born into sin and are thus God's enemies from conception. Jesus is the only one born who was good, because He was God coming through the womb of a woman to be born as a human, live the perfect life to conquer sin on our behalf and be our perfect example of how to live a righteous, holy life, fulfill all the Messianic prophecies about what He would do and about what would be done TO Him, die on the cross, and rise from the grave. In doing so, He defeated Satan, sin and death. The ripple effect started in the Garden. The original sin of Adam rippled through all of mankind, his unrighteousness being credited to the souls of every person, being our earthly father, passing on his spiritual genes to every generation, as we are all his seeds. Walking in righteousness is walking in obedience to the ways of God, walking with God, honoring Him. Walking in sin is walking in opposition to God, away from God, dishonoring Him. Sin earned us a spiritual death. But when we repent - that is, when we are contrite at heart and turn away from sin, walking toward, with and in one accord with God, putting our faith in the saving work God did on our behalf in the person of Jesus Christ - then we are freed from the cost of sin (death), our slates are wiped clean through God's gracious and merciful forgiveness, and the righteousness of God is credited to our accounts, which infinitely surpasses the bankruptcy of the sinfulness of our Adamic nature. In Adam, all die, but in Jesus, all are resurrected to life. All God wants is for us to come back to Him. There has only, ever, been one good person, and that's God in the flesh: Jesus Christ. The only time bad things happened to a good person was when Jesus Christ was born, and that was God's plan from before time began: to create a world with people, whom He knew would sin against Him, then free them from sin to show not just His loving nature, but the fullness of His attributes, such as justice, mercy, grace, loving kindness, patience, and His wrath against evil. All of His attributes stem from His holiness, and they all culminate on the cross in the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Because mankind sins against God, man deserves to be punished eternally, because God is eternal, so a sin against an eternal God is an eternal crime. Thus, sinning against God rings, offensively, throughout all eternity, like an echo which never stops or diminishes. If you murder a homeless man, you may be sentenced to 10 years in prison. If you murder a police officer, you may serve 20 years to life in prison. If you murder the President of the United States, you get the death penalty. The crime is the same: you killed a man. The difference is the one whom you've committed the crime against. An infinite crime demands an infinite punishment, which is why eternity in hell makes perfect sense. But because God is rich in mercy, instead of wiping out all of mankind or throwing us all hopelessly in hell, He planned to save His fallen creation out of love for us. Man should pay for the crime, so God came as a man, representing all of mankind, and at the same time being the eternal God, so that the blood of a man could be shed, but once and for all, instead of being paid for by all of us forever. Jesus is the Godman - fully God and fully man - Who accomplishes this. In this way, our punishment has been paid for in full...the debt owed for our crimes has been satisfied...and we can be reunited to the Father. God pursued us to win us back. God is and has always, eternally, been Father, Son and Holy Spirit...simultaneously. It was His goal to rule us from the Throne (Father), come to us in the flesh to provide the perfect example of how to live, provide the eternal payment transaction on the cross (Son), and empower us to live righteously in response to His goodness in His likeness through the example of Jesus Christ by the power of Him living inside of us (Holy Spirit). He went from God RULING FROM UP THERE (Father) to God WITH US DOWN HERE (Son, Jesus, Emmanuel) to God INSIDE OF US (Holy Spirit), and He did it all to show the magnitude, depth, reach, steadfastness, zealous commitment and eternal richness of His love for us. God's goodness should lead us to repentance. Put your faith in Jesus - God's love in action - the work that God did in the flesh to save us from ourselves, from the punishment we deserve, from the wrath of the Father. He deserves our allegiance. Let's say someone jumped in front of a bullet and kept you from being killed. Let's say that person survived. You'd be forever grateful, befriend that person, tell people what that person did for you, and feel as if you owed that person your life. You'd live a more enthusiastic life with a greater sense of purpose, having been given a second chance. Had that person died, you'd be forever grateful, tell people what that person did for you, and live your life with great purpose and passion to ensure that their sacrifice wasn't in vain, knowing that it could've and should've been your life lost instead. Had that person been someone you'd mistreated, you'd be forever grateful, filled with grief, guilt and remorse for the way you'd treated that person, and confused and amazed about why they'd care that much for you to be a bullet to sacrifice their life for yours after all the things you'd done against them. These are ways you'd feel about a MERE PERSON who'd taken a bullet to save your earthly life...a life that you'll eventually lose anyway. If you'd have such thoughts and feelings for a person who saved your temporary life, how much more grateful, grieved, remorseful, repentant, purpose driven, enthusiastic and amazed should you be by the love of God, who died to save YOUR ETERNAL SOUL? Jesus jumped in front of the spiritual shotgun, which is eternal damnation, so that you can live with Him, and guess what? You'll NEVER lose that life! There's no greater love than God's and there's no greater life than in Heaven for all eternity with no sadness, aging, illness, or danger...just complete safety, resting in the God Who created you. There's no better offer than forgiveness of sins and your soul being saved from eternal death. There is a way that seems right to a man, but it only leads to death. Jesus is the only escape. Don't try to do things your way or operate off of your own (mis)understandings and(il)logic. The only perfect one is God Himself. Trust Him. Repent, put your trust in Jesus, and be saved from death. God wants to give you the greatest gift there is: Himself. He proved that by giving His life for you. His life is so powerful that even death couldn't hold Him down. 100% of people die and we stay dead. Jesus rose people from death, and what's even better is that He died and still was able to raise Himself. The power of Jesus is stronger than the power of death, so much so that He was able to die and still win a spiritual war against death itself and make Himself live again. If a man can raise Himself from the grave, you should really listen to Him. He did it to save us from the punishment we earned ourselves so that we could LIVE forever with Him instead of suffer an eternal death, cut off from the goodness of God. Some people think that hell means being separated from God but it doesn't. Hell means being separated from His GOODNESS. If you go to hell, God will be there, but all you will know is the fullness of His wrath against you for your sin. The GOOD NEWS, aka the GOSPEL, is that you don't have to. God is rich in mercy and wants to forgive you and save you. It's your choice. All you have to do is repent and put your trust in Jesus, and God promises to forgive you. God doesn't want to rule over you and take away your fun. He is not a God who loves to be an evil dictator or a tyrant. The rules that God makes are made to keep you safe. Not killing, stealing, lying, committing adultery, etc., keeps you out of a lot of trouble, with men AND with God. Being a slave to God is true freedom. Turn to Christ and LIVE.
never noticed the irony of this idea: we all deserve the punnishments we get beacuse we are sinners... the only one who didn't deserve it.. well... he still got nailed to a cross...
Generic White Male Trust me, the devil is on the clock. And he knows it. He'll be in hell with all the rest of the sinners and bound to the lake of fire. The Devil was judged, but the scentence hasn't been carried out yet. Also, we're still physical beings on this Earth. The only way to be born is to be born into the physical sin nature that we have in the flesg., Thanks to Adam. Our sin nature can be overcomed with the Holy spirit working thru us. But our sin nature doesn't fully go away. we Christians are continually getting farther and farther from the carnality of our sin nature bc of the "renewing of the mind" thru the holy spirit. In this physical body we will always struggle with sin and temptation. But when we our given glorified bodies, everything will be restored to how it ought to b. No brokenness or disease or yearning. We will be whole. Er... Does that help any??
We will all pass one day. How and when we pass may seem just or unjust in the eyes of our loved ones but we are not here to stay forever. Most important point before dying is accepting Jesus as your Lord and Savior. Only those that accept the sacrifice of the Almighty and live by his instruction shall enter the kingdom of Heaven!!!!
God doesn't intervene when something terrible happens because he gave us freedom to choose between righteousness or wickedness, your enemy is free to harm you and wish Death upon all bad things but the more away people go from God the closer they get to Darkness and wickedness, basically destroying themselves. At the end of the day you lose, God doesn't punish people punish themselves.
Then why a criminal dictator such as Kim Jong Un is not punished by his actions. Yet my mother had to die after a horrid agony of six months. Simply admit that God is not love, he's a lovecraftian horror.
The "Parable of the Talents", in Matthew 25:14-30 tells of a master who was leaving his house to travel, and, before leaving, entrusted his property to his servants. According to the abilities of each man, one servant received five talents, the second had received two, and the third received only one. The property entrusted to the three servants was worth 8 talents, where a talent was a significant amount of money. Upon returning home, after a long absence, the master asks his three servants for an account of the talents he entrusted to them. The first and the second servants explain that they each put their talents to work, and have doubled the value of the property with which they were entrusted; each servant was rewarded: Meaning: God doesn’t allow bad things to happen to us rather he uses the things that happen to us to further the talents (patience, compassion, long suffering etc) to be the foundation of what we share with those in heaven when we go. There aren’t any needs for pain and suffering or patience, compassion or many of the fruits of the spirit in heaven
I'm a concerned Christian struggling with life, but consider this scenario where you have this person, let's call him Dennis, who trusts God and is on the path towards salvation and longs for it so much and God knows Dennis is going to be saved and get to enjoy eternal peace and joy in Heaven, but then God directs Dennis towards losing that salvation and ending up in Hell because it would somehow cause more people to be saved by said ripple-effect. Does that make sense? What does any of that say about God? What does that make any relationship we may have with God?
We live in a fallen and sinful world (our choice -aka Adam and Eve) full of what man wants in their own hearts. God never directs anyone towards evil, they do it themselves. The decisions we make are conscious ones and we must be willing to stand for our decision for/against Christ the day we die
@@bv0211 I'm not sure you understood what I was saying. It was in response to something said in the video and concerned God using the ripple effect to save as many people as he can (even if that means sacrificing someone else's salvation for the sake of all these other people).
@Suzu Wuzu The reason is no mystery, it's because they (1) sinned against God and brought upon them the due penalty, and they (2) all rejected God and the salvation he offers.
Because our world always gave us Good and Bad circumstances.. and doing good things doesn’t make you exempted from Bad circumstances. Because if making good makes you exempted what will happen is people aren’t literally good, people are just afraid to do bad things because of consequences… Good people are called Good because circumstances doesn’t change them because that is their choice whether their actions will rewarded or not.
"Ripple effect" how silly. Just say what the scriptures say. God is sovereign and whatever happens happens by His decree and He has a morally sufficient reason for doing so.
@@1689solas From perspective of other people. For example, I will not kill you, harm you, steal from you or insult you, not because some 3rd party or objective rule says so, but because you expect that from me. So how can torturing children with cancer have morally sufficient reason?
Firstly, there's none good, other than God. The world is in a fallen state and every human being is subjected to evil. As a Christian, i rely on His word in the Holy scriptures to protect me, till his second coming.
Nice video but bad things happen to good people and to others because of bad karma in this life and in past life. Nobody can escape the law of karma. As you sow so shall you reap. The only way out is to have patience, ask God to forgive you and do good karma for others in daily life. Only scriptures will not help. Practical action is needed. Help the suffering whenever you can and slowly your bad karma will get erased. Best wishes. Counsellor.
Answer: People who ask this question are not reading the holy scriptures. The problem & solution is clearly stated in Genesis Chapter 3 & Revelations Chapter 21 - 22. King James Version Bible 2 John Chapter 1 3. Grace be with you, mercy, [and] peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love. Romans Chapter 5 14. Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come. Genesis Chapter 2 15. And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. 16. And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: 17. But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. Genesis Chapter 3 17. And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: CURSED [IS] THY GROUND FOR THY SAKE; in sorrow shalt thou eat [of] it all the days of thy life; 18. Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; 19. In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: FOR DUST THOU [ART], AND UNTO DUST THOU SHALT RETURN. Romans Chapter 5 12. Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: Romans Chapter 6 23. For the wages of sin [is] death; but the gift of God [is] eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Genesis Chapter 3 22. And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever: 23. Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken. 24. So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life. Revelation Chapter 22 1. And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. 2. In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, [was there] the TREE OF LIFE, which bare twelve [manner of] fruits, [and] yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the TREE [were] for the healing of the nations. Revelation Chapter 21 4. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. Isaiah Chapter 65 17. For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind. Revelation Chapter 22 14. BLESSED [ARE] THEY THAT DO HIS COMMANDMENTS, that they may have right to the TREE OF LIFE, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
Then why is not everyone tested by the same standards. Heck, there are people who aren't even tested, and God knows (pun intended) there are too many of them in need of testing.
Positive video Question, it seems as life I get it the more you try the more you will progress! However in life 90 percent is what happens to you. How do you go about the idea that your not really in control of outside circumstances that dictate day to day life ? You can’t control someone judging you wrong? You can’t control ppl oppion of you ? You can’t control someone negligence that harm you ? You can’t control timing cuz accidents, weather , ppl schedules affect your own time ,? You can’t control health you can eat and exercise do everything right but still get sick unfortunately? How to over come these variables of life and weather to try or not try cuz it seems the more positive you do there millions of negative that get in the way 😥??? In any circumstances I’m sure you have many day to day life experiencs yourself just going to work is hard , making it to the bank , supermarket, bills , driving safe these are all affected by outside circumstances more than you think ? They say work hard and positive you will get ahead however that is not always the case ? I seem tons of ppl work hard honest and have nothing ! Is a lot of life dictated by luck ? More than we want to believe?
no it means we are on our own with no sky daddy to help us....your lot had a go of being in charge...how did that pan out....not called the dark ages for nothing
Good people exist- they are very rare and get treated like the worst thing ever. The realest people have the least amount of friends. Fake people have popularity, they're friends with everyone and they don't know themselves. A person who knows themselves will argue their case without the need to make friends with everyone. Good people have wisdom given to them by cruel life experiences against them. Their paths resemble the hardships Jesus once had to go through: humiliation, mockery, gossipers, thieves, murderers, witches, and evil authority against them. Good people feel no need to do drugs, steal, rape, nor murder innocent people, even if they once did, they didn't know God's message. They know how to repent and feel sincerely sorry for the bad actions they took. They have a rare anointing given to them by God Himself.
All he had to say is I dont know. His answer on this was terrible and completely wrong. There are different reasons why bad things happen to good people. 1. Most people arent actually good people and are following Christ the wrong way so Satan has fooled them and the people around them into believing they are good when they arent. 2. Now if you are actually good bad things happen sometimes to bring about God's will. Like in the Bible when the man of God was sold into slavery so that he could save his family in the future. So those are the reasons why bad things happen to good people. The worst thing you can do as a Christian is answer a question you actually dont know the answer to because you make God and Christianity look bad.
Princessssssss! You are back! It is HILARIOUS that YOU call someone simple minded. YOU!!!! the guy that says the big bang created nothing, then says it created everything LOLOLOL then say it had to reach escape velocity.......... The guy who doesnt know that Stephen Hawking's name( may he rest in peace). The guy who said Hawking ( once you were educated as to who he was) did not say, " because we have a law such as gravity the universe can and will create itself... rofl the guy who makes crude references about his wife and the big bang............wow.. just wow! Nikki,remember when you said " yeah! I am a muffin humper I HUMP MUFFS!, what do you hump? dick? There is some evidence you are a homophobe. Do you hate transgenders too? Or just gays? Nikki, you actually tried to defend a theory that your time traveling, farting cat created the universe when it when it went back in time to get some dodgy curry....

nickj14711 simple minded?? Well obviously you're not aware of a neurological study, which was done on religious people.... where they used targeted magnesium to shut down part of the brain... the posterior medial frontal cortex, the part most associated with detecting and solving problems, ie logic and reasoning....the results : belief in God disappeared among more than 30% of participants. In other words, when you shut down the part of the brain we use for logic and reasoning, greater levels of atheism result!! So according to science, it's actually the atheists that are simple minded!!..so when they deny God they must shut off their logic and reasoning!! Now along with this fact, there's also the fact that christians have won more Noble prizes, than anyone else!! They have won over 65% of all prizes....73% in chemistry...65% in physics...62% in medicine....78% in peace...54% economic and 50% in literature....so hardly simple minded people!! These people helped humanity to progress in all areas, the percentage won by atheists and agnostics combined is just 10.5%....of all prizes! .so it's actually the atheists who are intellectually inferior to the Christians and clearly athiesm is hindering their progression, but this is to be expected, when one doesn't engage in logic and reaaon. And just to also point out that Athiesm is not a new concept....many atheists seem to think that the more educated society becomes this will eventually lead to atheistm but the truth is, ever since mankind began to think and ask these questions... both theist and atheistic world views have been the answers, they have both been around as long as each other.... yet it's the theists which have come out on top not the atheists. The percentage of winners above shows us that belief in God is held by some of the most intelligent people that have ever lived, so it was far from a hindrance to humanity's progression unlike atheism seems to be!!.. christians have contributed so much in every area....and that's because a theist doesn't limited their thinking so these false ideas held by atheists like "atheists are smarter" for instance are inaccurate, in actually fact the evidence states the opposite, for people who bang on about evidence and logic and reason all the time, it seems strange that they claim such stupid things which goes against all evidence and scientific studies.
He is just being cynical. its not a hard question to ponder. She is just lazy and intellectually handicapped. She should ask that question like its a mystery. Its quite possible she is just trying to find excuses.
nickj14711 Again let me just point out to you, that it is actually the atheists that must shut off part of their brain "logic and reason" to deny God, not us!!...and as I have already mentioned both atheistm and theism have both been around since the beginning... atheism is not a new concept!! So your point about the Nobel prize winners being all indoctrinated doesn't make any sense because both views were held during this time and many countries were totally atheistic during this time period, so millions of people were atheist yet they still came up short compared to the theists. How very arrogant of you to suggest such intelligent people couldn't think for themselves, are you seriously that arrogant, do you actually think that you are smarter than they were??....seriously?? You also said something about religion and it's cruel tactics.....well if you think religion was cruel.. then you should check out how cruel and awful atheistic regimes were throughout history!! in fact more people were killed in the 20th century than the 5 centuries before that put together!! and it had nothing to do with religion... it killed more people than religion ever did. The major thing you seem to also forget when you demand proof from us.... is we don't actually claim we can prove anything....we don't deny that we have faith that isn't a problem for us....it's up to you what you want to believe my friend.. it has nothing to do with me...I respect your right not to believe.I personally have no problems with faith because we have faith in many things in life, which we are unable to prove like love and justice for instance. We spend billions every year on the justice system yet we cannot prove justice exists!!... we can only go by our observations and experiences and the evidence..... there is plenty of evidence which is different to proof.....we cannot prove someone won't steal from us or betray us, we can only go by the evidence of his character, his lifestyle etc then based on this we can decide whether to trust someone or not.... but we cannot prove they won't hurt us we still have to take a leap of faith but because we have evidence to base our faith on.... it's not blind faith. This evidence ( big bang/ DNA code) points to some creator or beginner now One can simply come to this conclusion without religion...by just using logic, reason and observations alone and asking simple questions like "where did the universe come from"?? and" why is there a universe here"?? it's science that points to some beginner some original cause but science doesn't tell us what the beginner/ cause is..science and mathematics suggests something caused us the probability of this complex universe which is so perfect for life happening blindly is just so low that it's not probable... anything is possible but the question is based on what we do know what is more probable and mathematics suggests that a designer is much more probable than blind evolution!!
Who said all humans were bad, and what have we done?, your ALL knowing god made us, and he knew what we would be like, so why punish us?, you wouldn't build a motor knowing it was going fail, or a house, you knew would fall down in a storm, god created the serpent that tempted eve, knowing she would eat it and give it to adam, so why try and tell us it's our fault?, and what about young children, who have never heard of your evil god?, why should they die?, if he exists them he could clear this up so easily, but which of the 1000's of gods would it be?.

I appreciate his answer and it is good BUT during my life I KNOW God or the evil one is affecting certain things. And other peoples lives as well. So He does make things happen? To everyone, no to some..yes.
"None of us were good people" Jesus was good right? Why did bad things happen to him on Earth, like him being tortured? Yeah you can say it was because of us and that we tortured him but the point still stands that he was a good person experiencing bad things.
I once heard God sees sinners as much closer to Hitler then we r to his perfect son Jesus Christ. & with that logic I frankly don't need the ripple effect explanation. If i was honest with myself, knowing how horrible I am and how undeserving I am is enough. The ripple effect is just dandy as a compliment. But the main point is, as it pertains to God's holy standard, "no one deserves anything but to live & suffer and/or die & suffer."
I was raised in a Christian cult who supported this Biblical idea. It caused a lot of pain for me because I saw myself as this worthless human. But if we take the Biblical approach of "If you break one law, you are guilty of breaking all," then we are not truly being judged by our actions because the punishment doesn't fit the crime. For example, if I have physical relations with my wife when she is on her period, as is a sin according to Leviticus 18:19, then that does not equate me to someone out committing genocide, and I don't think there is any rational way to argue it is.
If God gave me his powers for a day I will letGood things happen to good people and let bad things happen to bad people and I will also give people the ability to come back to life if they died
Who says you are good? I’m what way have you justified that what you do is the way that is good? Evil things happen because the evil one is about. If you have faith and trust in The Word of God Jesus Adonai the messiah. The one to rule the earth. You should not fear evil or persecution because you should know that your rewards are in heaven and that judgment will be brought upon all those who persecuted Gods children.

No, the problem is that current generations have become spoiled and entitled. Thousands of years ago, men and woman were proud to die in the name of God or those they serve, and they looked forward to death. Today with modern medical technology and technological advances, people reject death and reject the idea of suffering. Also, we live in a culture that only understands the “now.” People ask why God let’s a child die, but fail to wonder what tragic incidents could have happened to that child if they were to live. On the opposite side of the coin, would it be more just to let a child live if that child were to be sold into sex trafficking later in life? No one holds all the answers, and the justice and fairness are subjective.
@@brookemoore8369 Thousands of children are being sold as sex slaves every year. Why spare some of that fate, and let the others suffer? They're children. What sin did they commit? Oh, of course, the original sin... Then, if all of us are sinners and thus bad people, why spare some and punish others, again? The only logical conclusion: God is not loving, he's a lovecraftian horror and we are his playthings.

God is not powerful enough to fix things without using ripple effects? Isn't he all powerful, hasn't he ever created a place (heaven) without any suffering? Why create a painful earth. What's the point?... And I have read the job story... I hate it, I hate that God made a essentially a bet with the devil and gambled job's life to prove he was right and the devil was wrong. Why would you do that to someone you love? And when job asked for a simple explanation, to try to warp things around... God bashed him on how he made everything and he should never question him. That's what dictators in my country do. And maybe job was OK with it... I do not know... I wouldn't be... But anyway, what about his children, they didn't even get a say, they just died and then they were replaced... A friend of mine hanged himself two years ago and up to now.. He can never be replaced. Not in his family's life and not in mine... I forget about it once in a while but... Still am reminded of how things could have been if he was around... How there's only one Ben Ojani mayanja... No matter how many other Bens will be born... The only way I have been able accept such things is to accept that life is suffering and the best we can do is to try and find the few things that make us happy and enjoy them before they go away... This is probably why I can't believe in a god like the Christian God because he was presented to me a something that can solve everything and has all the power and despite that cares about us... But I cant believe that when I see suffering around me... I from Uganda and I saw people die during the presidential riots last year, some of them were people I knew. Killed by their own government... Now covid has finally hit and it's biggest issue is that it's not killing people directly (although it is)... No, it's biggest issue to us as Ugandans is that it's making and already difficult life more difficult... I mean, we were just watching the news today and over 100,400 girls are believed have got early pregnancies and won't be returning to school after the lock down... People have lost their jobs and are going hungry (I don't want any pity) ... And this is supposedly better than the times when the country had civil wars... I don't care about free will, I don't want it if it means that we will suffer like this... I actually feel that without the free will... We probably won't realize we don't have it in the first place so it's okay if it's not there. Although, I mostly feel that we do not have free will or more like we do not have as much free will as we think we do but let's live that for now... I feel Ben wouldnt mind not having free will either judging by is personality... He probably would have said that "free will got him to kill himself. He would be alive with out it... Then he would laugh... And I would 😁 laugh" but that would be his ghost talking... I wish it was his ghost atleast... Many people in my country are religious. Because when you see alot of bad things happen and go through alot of suffering, having something to believe in helps alot and makes it easier to go through the day with hope that there's someone powerful out there looking out for you so things will eventually work out so you don't give up. So because of this, in our country, we believe in a lot of things which don't make sense or work just for the hope. It keeps us going. And if things work out, we say our God came through and that makes the faith stronger, if they don't, we keep believing because the other option is to give up and die... Because of this, I don't mind that our people are religious sometimes... Me on the other hand stopped being religious, I accept the world is a hard place and there will always be suffering no matter your faith or religion, belief, background, race or country... I see this is true because people in well off first world countries kill themselves too so they obviously also have things making life miserable for them. I have decided to find happiness where I can and try not to hurt somebody else while I try to get that happiness because I wouldn't want them to do that to me... It may result in to my unhappiness but like I said, life is filled with suffering and making some else suffer won't change that. But helping someone suffer less is better because you want them to help you too when your time comes...this is one of the things I agree with Jesus on... There is a musician in our country who made a song that says "today it's me, tomorrow it's someone else " ... Anyways, I am sorry for the long comment.

Even for Believers in God there is , THE ONE MO FO RULE. I talk about that in my You Tube video of the same name. Perhaps it is God's way of testing our patience.
And this is the kind of idiocy that you get when these people don't know what they're talking about he's speaking sort of metaphorically he's also speaking from no knowledge of what's really going on because no one really knows why God acts the way he does there is no concern for man as far as Satan is concerned Satan is not he's not vested in the man like that he really just isn't because he already nose that man has Free Will and that he has his own mind God don't have nothing to do with that he does not he gave me a free will for that reason specifically so that he could not blame him for the things that he's doing with his life all satan is an opportunist it's like common sense I used to ask all the time it's God is so strong why he keep letting all this crap go on why does he allow innocent children to be raped by wrong people and he don't do nothing about it he won't because he gave me a free will so whatever we're doing on this Earth You Better Watch what you're doing because it's going to come back on you that's the biggest reason for karma I think this is all just my opinion but it's common sense and for all the years that I was asking that question I guess I answered my own question
If you have ever read the words of an angel you’ll see how dry and without character understanding the fruits of the spirit. They have a job and that’s what they do. No free will like us to experience the school that we are subject to down here. Adam and Eve started the rebellion, God just used it to school our hearts.
Well, one thing that I've learnt along the way is that people choices also matter a lot. If you put that together with free will given to us to choose between good and evil, that's where most evil done by human beings to other people we would consider "good" happens.
Since Eden was a place of no suffering and free will existed there, that shows us that free will can exist with elimination of suffering. So free will argument is definitely false.
But we have authority over the devil and itscup to us to use that in prayer on earth as it is in heaven, Satan is in control due to the earth lease when Adam and eve fell, Jesus came back to tale the keys however and now according to Mathew 18, 18 we can bind and forbid evil and release angels, psalm 91 and forbid accidents and tragedy through our prayers, Its up to us to use it.
It's because there are really no good or bad things happening, it's just things happening as the man said in the video. If one action effects another action, as the man in the video believes, then god really has nothing to do with what happens after everything has started. Dying is not a bad thing, if it were then you'd have to say being alive is bad also because it is what produces death. Death is part of life, so I suppose you can think death is the bad part of being alive, but being alive is the main reason we are able to die, so knowing this I would think people would say being alive is bad because we die eventually. The man in the video just basically said that there really are no bad things happening due to the fact that whatever happens might be a good thing for someone else in the future because of this non god like affect on things he calls the ripple effect. The way things will be either have to be because of this ripple effect that he mentions or god makes everything happen the way he wants it to happen, it can not be both, you have to pic one theory and stick to it. The man in the video seems a bit indecisive.
Jeremiah 23:33 And when this people, or the prophet, or a priest, shall ask you, saying, what is the burden of the Lord? You shall then say unto them, what burden? I will even leave you, says the Lord. :34 And as for the prophet, and the priest, and the people, that shall say, the burden of the Lord, I will even punish that person and one's house. :35 This shall you say every one to one's neighbour, and every one to his brother, what has the Lord answered? and, what had the Lord spoken? :36 And the burden of the Lord shall you mention no more: for every one's word shall be one's burden; for you have perverted the words of the living God, of the Lord of hosts our God. :37 This shall you say to the prophet, what had the Lord answered you? And, what has the Lord spoken? :38 But since you say, the burden of the Lord; therefore this says the Lord; Because you say this word, the burden of the Lord, and I have sent unto you, saying, you shall not say, the burden of the Lord; :39 Therefore, behold, I, even I, will utterly forget you, and I will turn away from you, and the city that I gave you and your fathers, and throw you out of my presence: :40 And I will bring an everlasting guilt upon you, and a perpetual shame, which shall not be forgotten.

Ah, I see, Frank! So if a psychopathic killer murders a baby, this is actually a good thing because we can trust God that good will come from it eventually.

"Why does God allow good things happen to bad people?"
this question reflects your subconscious a lot
because this reflects me that you consider things like sex, power, money, fame as good things but in reality they are pleasures.
Perhaps you do not understand that being with God means obtaining pleasures that neither power, fame, money, nor the sex of this world can match.
Perhaps No one in this world has received "the good stuffs yet"

Another excellent response by Dr. Turek. The rain falls on the just and the unjust. Look at the fates of the Apostles. Yes, none are good, not one. Most people can't comprehend that because they compare themselves to others. Memo to all: God isn't going to grade on a curve. He will use his measurement and we all fall short without accepting the gift that Jesus provided and the grace it brings.
Another pretender.
I've learnt that God let's bad things happen to good people because he loves them. When something bad happens to a person where does that person turn to? He turns to God for help and comfort. And that's what God wants. A person who has a good, problem free life has no reason to need God or go to him for help because he simply thinks he has everything. But such person is spiritually dead inside. We need God in our lives or else we have nothing. So when God gives us heartache we should look at it as a blessing.. He is constantly working on us and the devil in the other hand is constantly pulling towards sin.. So trials in life keep us close to God.. Ultimately our reward will be Heaven. And I'm sorry, but without hard times and heartbreak we simply can't get that reward.
Very true
Our father in heaven punishes his children to turn us away from evil things and bring closer to him again
So when God allows those that have never heard the gospel to suffer, who do they turn to?
Then why some are tested and some aren't.
If there are no good people, then why do some suffer and others don't?
EXACTLY‼️....Why is the judgement that "there are no good people" across the board, but riches and happiness not? I call BS 😡
Turek is very adept at making things that are obviously challenging sound logical and cohesive ....its a learned talent that very few apologist actually master.

Just wanted to share a true story-after years of prayers for my dad to convert to Catholic, he did and he said this was why. He witnessed a miracle. My 18 month old sister fell in fire ants, dehydrated and slipped into a 6 week coma where she was completely unresponsive. Drs said she would be in a vegetable state or soon pass away. My parents thought they were being punished, couldn’t understand why this was happening. Mom called our Msgr to come bless her. He brought The True Cross(Relic of Jesus’ Cross), said prayers and placed it on her chest. She sat straight up, then turned on her side and woke up an hour later. She’s graduated college, married, has grandchildren now. God uses people to draw others to Him. Sometimes we don’t understand the reason, but He always has a good one.

"That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: *for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.* For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?"
sun or Son, sun is luciiferian
artsychic2000 in this scriptures context Jesus is saying that God blesses everyone. They had an agricultural economy and so rain and sunshine are blessings because they are both needed for crops to grow.
Well, seeing as the catholic church among others actually worship the sun god, lucifer, it is important to be specific so that people know who you are referring to. Lucifer is the sun god and the god of the elements. Fire, earth, air and water. It is an ancient tradition for people to worship lucifer so that he brings rain when they need it and sun, etc and even sacrifice their children and livestock to him. One must be specific if they are talking about the true King, Jesus Christ the Son of the Living God.
artsychic2000 again, Jesus said the Father brings rain and sunshine. The Devil is not the god of the elements any control he may have over them is dictated by God as He ( Heavenly Father) is Sovereign.
Then, please do not call Jesus Christ the sun of God. He is the Son of God. Understand that all nations, after babylon was destroyed were given demonic entities over them. These are the kings they worship. Father allowed people to obey Him and when they did not they were scattered and had these entities put over them by their choice.
what is the point in God? He is not interveting here on earth , not helping other people ... but , yet he wants people to love him form all his heart?
Where do you get that God doesnt help people here on earth? God is always helping everything he does is to make us better people
@@maow9240 what is god doing? Starving children just to teach other humans a lesson about worshiping him?
You know how to look, but you don't know how to make your eyes see. You know how to walk but you don't know how to make your legs work. It's a gift. Your soul and spirit is a gift. The world itself is a created for humans. The whole operation of the cosmos is done by God, the weather and everything else.
God also said He will put a hedge around us Job 1:10. Does this apply only to Job? Since we are WIP, surely God would bless us. Not forgetting that we are Jesus' lambs. He promised to take care of us.
So there is no good people, then why fortunate, and even great things can happen to bad people.
In weightlifting, you must have resistance to grow stronger. If you want to be more loving (good to others), hate my be encountered so that love grows stronger. If you want to be helpful, situations may arise where help is needed. It's 2024, and there are lots of bad things happening. The Bible says that when the wicked increase it's so that God can gather them all in one place and dispose of them. Ask God for more patience, faith, and belief while waiting for the answer to this question. And beware of false teachers.
Why not just go with the obvious and simple explanation, that God must be both good and evil? If God created everything and evil is inherent in creation, then evil must be part of God too. The creator is a reflection of the creation, so if creation contains evil and good, then so does the creator. Simple logic. Easy as pie. I don't get why that's beyond most people. It's very simple and explains a lot. The book of Isaiah also says that the Lord creates both good and evil. And Carl Jung said that evil is just the shadow side of God. All ancient religions and secret societies taught that God was good and evil too. Only the Abrahamic religions deviate from this and claims that God is only 100 percent good and 0 evil. Hence they are an aberration.
Q: "Why do bad things happen to good people?"
A: You don't get to decide which things are bad or which people are good.
Yet people do suffer
Why?
@@goxyeagle8446 because God is not as good as we think he is,we are just his experiment.

"Bad things" come part and parcel with free will. How many "bad things" do we see happen that were caused by...well...people? Are there accidents, well yes, but that is part of life. Let's look at this the opposite case...what would life be where "nothing bad" ever happened. It wouldn't be life...it would be heaven. That comes later.
What about things like natural disasters, infant death etc.? Why would they happen?

God is your genie and anything can happen so long as long as you believe!!!!
This might be some pagan God, but it is not Yahweh, the creator who is. Read the Bible a few times to understand the flow of biblical history and God's rescue mission to we who have lived in rejection of his love, and thus the pigsty of mess we are in, reminding us that we are in the pigsty. That's the 'job' of suffering and evil, otherwise we'd all thing everything is OK when it is very much not, and there can be no solution to this from within the pigsty.
James 1:12 "Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him"

nickj14711 Jesus loves you, God bless
are you saying that you believe in a weak, pathetic god that can't even save children and fulfill his master plan?
nickj, you're going about this in the wrong way, of course the bible says that, and even if it didn't he could just create a new bibble that says jesus loves him.
you have to compare his claim to another book that exists and makes the same claim. for instance, mormonism.
how is your jesus true and the jesus in the mormon religion false?
juku bot2 because... we all can put letters on paper for a long long time now...
Get some rest joke, you look tired
this was a horrible answer. why does God "allow" evil??, simple, God has given human beings free will, in our sinful fallen condition WE choose to do evil, God "allows" it becouse we have free will.. NOTE!!!.....what God "allows" and what is Gods will are TWO COMPLETLY DIFFERENT THINGS!....remember that. God will allow me to rob a store becouse Im not a robot but a free will creature God created, However if I rob a store Im going 100% against Gods will and I will suffer the consequences. Why doesnt God stop evil? becouse if he did he would be violating our free will & we would be robots. the only time God violates our free will is in judgement..
But there are bad things that happen without human choice or intervention.
I never really worry about bad things happening because I always keep this thought in my mind:
“God is an omniscient being, he clearly has very good reasons for allowing bad things to happen”.

Where is that verse in THE BOOK OF job, Can anybody plz tell me???
Job 13:15
Though he slay me, yet will I trust in Him
It's not a verse per se, you get the message by reading the Book of Job holisticaly
Actually bad things happened to a good person only once in all of history
And He volunteered
answer to the question, see Mark 10:17 "Now as He was going out on the road, one came running, knelt before Him, and asked Him, “Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?” So Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one good but One, God.
All bad and "good" people are sinners.
Bad things happen to sinners. Sinners are those of us whose nature is against God. We're all born into sin and are thus God's enemies from conception. Jesus is the only one born who was good, because He was God coming through the womb of a woman to be born as a human, live the perfect life to conquer sin on our behalf and be our perfect example of how to live a righteous, holy life, fulfill all the Messianic prophecies about what He would do and about what would be done TO Him, die on the cross, and rise from the grave. In doing so, He defeated Satan, sin and death. The ripple effect started in the Garden. The original sin of Adam rippled through all of mankind, his unrighteousness being credited to the souls of every person, being our earthly father, passing on his spiritual genes to every generation, as we are all his seeds.
Walking in righteousness is walking in obedience to the ways of God, walking with God, honoring Him. Walking in sin is walking in opposition to God, away from God, dishonoring Him. Sin earned us a spiritual death. But when we repent - that is, when we are contrite at heart and turn away from sin, walking toward, with and in one accord with God, putting our faith in the saving work God did on our behalf in the person of Jesus Christ - then we are freed from the cost of sin (death), our slates are wiped clean through God's gracious and merciful forgiveness, and the righteousness of God is credited to our accounts, which infinitely surpasses the bankruptcy of the sinfulness of our Adamic nature. In Adam, all die, but in Jesus, all are resurrected to life. All God wants is for us to come back to Him.
There has only, ever, been one good person, and that's God in the flesh: Jesus Christ. The only time bad things happened to a good person was when Jesus Christ was born, and that was God's plan from before time began: to create a world with people, whom He knew would sin against Him, then free them from sin to show not just His loving nature, but the fullness of His attributes, such as justice, mercy, grace, loving kindness, patience, and His wrath against evil. All of His attributes stem from His holiness, and they all culminate on the cross in the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.
Because mankind sins against God, man deserves to be punished eternally, because God is eternal, so a sin against an eternal God is an eternal crime. Thus, sinning against God rings, offensively, throughout all eternity, like an echo which never stops or diminishes.
If you murder a homeless man, you may be sentenced to 10 years in prison. If you murder a police officer, you may serve 20 years to life in prison. If you murder the President of the United States, you get the death penalty. The crime is the same: you killed a man. The difference is the one whom you've committed the crime against.
An infinite crime demands an infinite punishment, which is why eternity in hell makes perfect sense. But because God is rich in mercy, instead of wiping out all of mankind or throwing us all hopelessly in hell, He planned to save His fallen creation out of love for us. Man should pay for the crime, so God came as a man, representing all of mankind, and at the same time being the eternal God, so that the blood of a man could be shed, but once and for all, instead of being paid for by all of us forever. Jesus is the Godman - fully God and fully man - Who accomplishes this. In this way, our punishment has been paid for in full...the debt owed for our crimes has been satisfied...and we can be reunited to the Father. God pursued us to win us back. God is and has always, eternally, been Father, Son and Holy Spirit...simultaneously. It was His goal to rule us from the Throne (Father), come to us in the flesh to provide the perfect example of how to live, provide the eternal payment transaction on the cross (Son), and empower us to live righteously in response to His goodness in His likeness through the example of Jesus Christ by the power of Him living inside of us (Holy Spirit). He went from God RULING FROM UP THERE (Father) to God WITH US DOWN HERE (Son, Jesus, Emmanuel) to God INSIDE OF US (Holy Spirit), and He did it all to show the magnitude, depth, reach, steadfastness, zealous commitment and eternal richness of His love for us. God's goodness should lead us to repentance. Put your faith in Jesus - God's love in action - the work that God did in the flesh to save us from ourselves, from the punishment we deserve, from the wrath of the Father. He deserves our allegiance.
Let's say someone jumped in front of a bullet and kept you from being killed. Let's say that person survived. You'd be forever grateful, befriend that person, tell people what that person did for you, and feel as if you owed that person your life. You'd live a more enthusiastic life with a greater sense of purpose, having been given a second chance.
Had that person died, you'd be forever grateful, tell people what that person did for you, and live your life with great purpose and passion to ensure that their sacrifice wasn't in vain, knowing that it could've and should've been your life lost instead.
Had that person been someone you'd mistreated, you'd be forever grateful, filled with grief, guilt and remorse for the way you'd treated that person, and confused and amazed about why they'd care that much for you to be a bullet to sacrifice their life for yours after all the things you'd done against them.
These are ways you'd feel about a MERE PERSON who'd taken a bullet to save your earthly life...a life that you'll eventually lose anyway. If you'd have such thoughts and feelings for a person who saved your temporary life, how much more grateful, grieved, remorseful, repentant, purpose driven, enthusiastic and amazed should you be by the love of God, who died to save YOUR ETERNAL SOUL? Jesus jumped in front of the spiritual shotgun, which is eternal damnation, so that you can live with Him, and guess what? You'll NEVER lose that life! There's no greater love than God's and there's no greater life than in Heaven for all eternity with no sadness, aging, illness, or danger...just complete safety, resting in the God Who created you.
There's no better offer than forgiveness of sins and your soul being saved from eternal death. There is a way that seems right to a man, but it only leads to death. Jesus is the only escape. Don't try to do things your way or operate off of your own (mis)understandings and(il)logic. The only perfect one is God Himself. Trust Him. Repent, put your trust in Jesus, and be saved from death. God wants to give you the greatest gift there is: Himself. He proved that by giving His life for you. His life is so powerful that even death couldn't hold Him down. 100% of people die and we stay dead. Jesus rose people from death, and what's even better is that He died and still was able to raise Himself. The power of Jesus is stronger than the power of death, so much so that He was able to die and still win a spiritual war against death itself and make Himself live again. If a man can raise Himself from the grave, you should really listen to Him. He did it to save us from the punishment we earned ourselves so that we could LIVE forever with Him instead of suffer an eternal death, cut off from the goodness of God.
Some people think that hell means being separated from God but it doesn't. Hell means being separated from His GOODNESS. If you go to hell, God will be there, but all you will know is the fullness of His wrath against you for your sin. The GOOD NEWS, aka the GOSPEL, is that you don't have to. God is rich in mercy and wants to forgive you and save you. It's your choice. All you have to do is repent and put your trust in Jesus, and God promises to forgive you.
God doesn't want to rule over you and take away your fun. He is not a God who loves to be an evil dictator or a tyrant. The rules that God makes are made to keep you safe. Not killing, stealing, lying, committing adultery, etc., keeps you out of a lot of trouble, with men AND with God. Being a slave to God is true freedom.
Turn to Christ and LIVE.
never noticed the irony of this idea:
we all deserve the punnishments we get beacuse we are sinners... the only one who didn't deserve it.. well... he still got nailed to a cross...
Morree Jones ////claps 100000% truth. Couldn't have put it better. Loved the part about the spiritual shotgun of damnation. XD
Generic White Male
Trust me, the devil is on the clock. And he knows it. He'll be in hell with all the rest of the sinners and bound to the lake of fire. The Devil was judged, but the scentence hasn't been carried out yet.
Also, we're still physical beings on this Earth. The only way to be born is to be born into the physical sin nature that we have in the flesg., Thanks to Adam.
Our sin nature can be overcomed with the Holy spirit working thru us. But our sin nature doesn't fully go away. we Christians are continually getting farther and farther from the carnality of our sin nature bc of the "renewing of the mind" thru the holy spirit.
In this physical body we will always struggle with sin and temptation. But when we our given glorified bodies, everything will be restored to how it ought to b. No brokenness or disease or yearning. We will be whole.
Er... Does that help any??
Morree Jones no, we are not born in sin or as sinners and stop scaring people about that. Fear is not the way to live.
Do you still sin???
We will all pass one day. How and when we pass may seem just or unjust in the eyes of our loved ones but we are not here to stay forever. Most important point before dying is accepting Jesus as your Lord and Savior. Only those that accept the sacrifice of the Almighty and live by his instruction shall enter the kingdom of Heaven!!!!
So well said.
I have asked myself that many many times. My daughter in heaven is named Jessica, just like the young woman who asked the question.
God doesn't intervene when something terrible happens because he gave us freedom to choose between righteousness or wickedness, your enemy is free to harm you and wish Death upon all bad things but the more away people go from God the closer they get to Darkness and wickedness, basically destroying themselves. At the end of the day you lose, God doesn't punish people punish themselves.
Then why a criminal dictator such as Kim Jong Un is not punished by his actions. Yet my mother had to die after a horrid agony of six months.
Simply admit that God is not love, he's a lovecraftian horror.
The "Parable of the Talents", in Matthew 25:14-30 tells of a master who was leaving his house to travel, and, before leaving, entrusted his property to his servants. According to the abilities of each man, one servant received five talents, the second had received two, and the third received only one. The property entrusted to the three servants was worth 8 talents, where a talent was a significant amount of money. Upon returning home, after a long absence, the master asks his three servants for an account of the talents he entrusted to them. The first and the second servants explain that they each put their talents to work, and have doubled the value of the property with which they were entrusted; each servant was rewarded:
Meaning: God doesn’t allow bad things to happen to us rather he uses the things that happen to us to further the talents (patience, compassion, long suffering etc) to be the foundation of what we share with those in heaven when we go. There aren’t any needs for pain and suffering or patience, compassion or many of the fruits of the spirit in heaven
I'm a concerned Christian struggling with life, but consider this scenario where you have this person, let's call him Dennis, who trusts God and is on the path towards salvation and longs for it so much and God knows Dennis is going to be saved and get to enjoy eternal peace and joy in Heaven, but then God directs Dennis towards losing that salvation and ending up in Hell because it would somehow cause more people to be saved by said ripple-effect. Does that make sense? What does any of that say about God? What does that make any relationship we may have with God?
We live in a fallen and sinful world (our choice -aka Adam and Eve) full of what man wants in their own hearts. God never directs anyone towards evil, they do it themselves. The decisions we make are conscious ones and we must be willing to stand for our decision for/against Christ the day we die
@@bv0211 I'm not sure you understood what I was saying. It was in response to something said in the video and concerned God using the ripple effect to save as many people as he can (even if that means sacrificing someone else's salvation for the sake of all these other people).
@Suzu Wuzu The reason is no mystery, it's because they (1) sinned against God and brought upon them the due penalty, and they (2) all rejected God and the salvation he offers.
He doesn't send saved one in hell
Because our world always gave us Good and Bad circumstances.. and doing good things doesn’t make you exempted from Bad circumstances. Because if making good makes you exempted what will happen is people aren’t literally good, people are just afraid to do bad things because of consequences… Good people are called Good because circumstances doesn’t change them because that is their choice whether their actions will rewarded or not.
"Ripple effect" how silly. Just say what the scriptures say. God is sovereign and whatever happens happens by His decree and He has a morally sufficient reason for doing so.

Firstly, there's none good, other than God. The world is in a fallen state and every human being is subjected to evil. As a Christian, i rely on His word in the Holy scriptures to protect me, till his second coming.
Nice video but bad things happen to good people and to others because of bad karma in this life and in past life. Nobody can escape the law of karma. As you sow so shall you reap. The only way out is to have patience, ask God to forgive you and do good karma for others in daily life. Only scriptures will not help. Practical action is needed. Help the suffering whenever you can and slowly your bad karma will get erased. Best wishes. Counsellor.

If bad things didn't to good people, earth would already be heaven for good people.
So does that mean that my wife deserved to die horribly of cancer?
Yep, just my mom did after 6 months of agony. So much for a loving God.
I'd say bad things are just struggles to be overcome and prove your character. To show you are of good enough spirit to follow a hard will.
Then why is not everyone tested by the same standards. Heck, there are people who aren't even tested, and God knows (pun intended) there are too many of them in need of testing.

Question, it seems as life I get it the more you try the more you will progress! However in life 90 percent is what happens to you. How do you go about the idea that your not really in control of outside circumstances that dictate day to day life ? You can’t control someone judging you wrong? You can’t control ppl oppion of you ? You can’t control someone negligence that harm you ? You can’t control timing cuz accidents, weather , ppl schedules affect your own time ,? You can’t control health you can eat and exercise do everything right but still get sick unfortunately?
How to over come these variables of life and weather to try or not try cuz it seems the more positive you do there millions of negative that get in the way 😥??? In any circumstances I’m sure you have many day to day life experiencs yourself just going to work is hard , making it to the bank , supermarket, bills , driving safe these are all affected by outside circumstances more than you think ?
They say work hard and positive you will get ahead however that is not always the case ? I seem tons of ppl work hard honest and have nothing !
Is a lot of life dictated by luck ? More than we want to believe?
The selfish harm we inflict on others, only makes for stronger people, and that’s how you appreciate the good. It’s God’s plan.
no it means we are on our own with no sky daddy to help us....your lot had a go of being in charge...how did that pan out....not called the dark ages for nothing
That's true there are no good people in this world.
Jesus Newman WRONG!
NRM No... I’m actually not. 😁 Also, it wasn’t in reference to people thinking that of themselves.
@@Tat2Dragons what is a good person?
That’s true. There are only people who choose to do good, who choose to do bad and who don’t do anything at all. But internally, people aren’t good.
Good people exist- they are very rare and get treated like the worst thing ever. The realest people have the least amount of friends. Fake people have popularity, they're friends with everyone and they don't know themselves. A person who knows themselves will argue their case without the need to make friends with everyone. Good people have wisdom given to them by cruel life experiences against them. Their paths resemble the hardships Jesus once had to go through: humiliation, mockery, gossipers, thieves, murderers, witches, and evil authority against them. Good people feel no need to do drugs, steal, rape, nor murder innocent people, even if they once did, they didn't know God's message. They know how to repent and feel sincerely sorry for the bad actions they took. They have a rare anointing given to them by God Himself.
All he had to say is I dont know. His answer on this was terrible and completely wrong. There are different reasons why bad things happen to good people.
1. Most people arent actually good people and are following Christ the wrong way so Satan has fooled them and the people around them into believing they are good when they arent.
2. Now if you are actually good bad things happen sometimes to bring about God's will. Like in the Bible when the man of God was sold into slavery so that he could save his family in the future. So those are the reasons why bad things happen to good people. The worst thing you can do as a Christian is answer a question you actually dont know the answer to because you make God and Christianity look bad.
God have no control to having a bad thing happen to you , bad things happen in every people bad or good
Because you're not good enough to call yourself Good. Until he says so
was god good when he ordered the killing of the Canaanites or drown people in the flood.....

nickj14711 simple minded?? Well obviously you're not aware of a neurological study, which was done on religious people.... where they used targeted magnesium to shut down part of the brain... the posterior medial frontal cortex,
the part most associated with detecting and solving problems, ie logic and reasoning....the results : belief in God disappeared among more than 30% of participants.
In other words, when you shut down the part of the brain we use for logic and reasoning, greater levels of atheism result!! So according to science, it's actually the atheists that are simple minded!!..so when they deny God they must shut off their logic and reasoning!!
Now along with this fact, there's also the fact that christians have won more Noble prizes, than anyone else!! They have won over 65% of all prizes....73% in chemistry...65% in physics...62% in medicine....78% in peace...54% economic and 50% in literature....so hardly simple minded people!!
These people helped humanity to progress in all areas, the percentage won by atheists and agnostics combined is just 10.5%....of all prizes! .so it's actually the atheists who are intellectually inferior to the Christians and clearly athiesm is hindering their progression, but this is to be expected, when one doesn't engage in logic and reaaon.
And just to also point out that Athiesm is not a new concept....many atheists seem to think that the more educated society becomes this will eventually lead to atheistm but the truth is, ever since mankind began to think and ask these questions... both theist and atheistic world views have been the answers, they have both been around as long as each other.... yet it's the theists which have come out on top not the atheists.
The percentage of winners above shows us that belief in God is held by some of the most intelligent people that have ever lived, so it was far from a hindrance to humanity's progression unlike atheism seems to be!!.. christians have contributed so much in every area....and that's because a theist doesn't limited their thinking so these false ideas held by atheists like "atheists are smarter" for instance are inaccurate, in actually fact the evidence states the opposite, for people who bang on about evidence and logic and reason all the time, it seems strange that they claim such stupid things which goes against all evidence and scientific studies.
RIP Zebo he didnt talk down or anything but just telling the fact that it was lack of knowledge. how on earth can you possibly accuse him foe that.
He is just being cynical. its not a hard question to ponder. She is just lazy and intellectually handicapped. She should ask that question like its a mystery.
Its quite possible she is just trying to find excuses.
nickj14711 Again let me just point out to you, that it is actually the atheists that must shut off part of their brain "logic and reason" to deny God, not us!!...and as I have already mentioned both atheistm and theism have both been around since the beginning... atheism is not a new concept!!
So your point about the Nobel prize winners being all indoctrinated doesn't make any sense because both views were held during this time and many countries were totally atheistic during this time period, so millions of people were atheist yet they still came up short compared to the theists.
How very arrogant of you to suggest such intelligent people couldn't think for themselves, are you seriously that arrogant, do you actually think that you are smarter than they were??....seriously??
You also said something about religion and it's cruel tactics.....well if you think religion was cruel.. then you should check out how cruel and awful atheistic regimes were throughout history!! in fact more people were killed in the 20th century than the 5 centuries before that put together!! and it had nothing to do with religion... it killed more people than religion ever did.
The major thing you seem to also forget when you demand proof from us.... is we don't actually claim we can prove anything....we don't deny that we have faith that isn't a problem for us....it's up to you what you want to believe my friend.. it has nothing to do with me...I respect your right not to believe.I personally have no problems with faith because we have faith in many things in life, which we are unable to prove like love and justice for instance.
We spend billions every year on the justice system yet we cannot prove justice exists!!... we can only go by our observations and experiences and the evidence..... there is plenty of evidence which is different to proof.....we cannot prove someone won't steal from us or betray us, we can only go by the evidence of his character, his lifestyle etc then based on this we can decide whether to trust someone or not.... but we cannot prove they won't hurt us we still have to take a leap of faith but because we have evidence to base our faith on.... it's not blind faith.
This evidence ( big bang/ DNA code) points to some creator or beginner now One can simply come to this conclusion without religion...by just using logic, reason and observations alone and asking simple questions like "where did the universe come from"?? and" why is there a universe here"?? it's science that points to some beginner some original cause but science doesn't tell us what the beginner/ cause is..science and mathematics suggests something caused us the probability of this complex universe which is so perfect for life happening blindly is just so low that it's not probable... anything is possible but the question is based on what we do know what is more probable and mathematics suggests that a designer is much more probable than blind evolution!!
Who said all humans were bad, and what have we done?, your ALL knowing god made us, and he knew what we would be like, so why punish us?, you wouldn't build a motor knowing it was going fail, or a house, you knew would fall down in a storm, god created the serpent that tempted eve, knowing she would eat it and give it to adam, so why try and tell us it's our fault?, and what about young children, who have never heard of your evil god?, why should they die?, if he exists them he could clear this up so easily, but which of the 1000's of gods would it be?.
Have you lost a child dear don't trouble he is in good place far away from evil
The real answer is, "we wish we knew, but we don't.."
He actually gave the correct answer, why do bad things happen to good people? Because they deserve it, and justice calls for it. Harsh but true.

His answer is there are no good people?!
Jesus is The only way!! 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 (KJV) Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.

And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
In the case of the ripple effect analogy; to prevent mass damage to people in New Orleans, would it be better to wipe out butterflies?
Fair point ! 🙂 But the 'ripple effect' is largely mythological. In natural processes tiny perturbations are damped out; in history similarly, with the evil that flows through history limited to but 3 or 4 generations...then it would be damped out by the larger flow of history. Deut 5:9 cf Deut 5:10.

I appreciate his answer and it is good BUT during my life I KNOW God or the evil one is affecting certain things. And other peoples lives as well. So He does make things happen? To everyone, no to some..yes.
This is the only guy that makes sense.. Every other person who stands for Christ sucks at explaining
That was very strong what pastor said
So allowing rapist and murderers are just normal!?
To believe in free will is a sin.
"None of us were good people"
Jesus was good right? Why did bad things happen to him on Earth, like him being tortured? Yeah you can say it was because of us and that we tortured him but the point still stands that he was a good person experiencing bad things.
The best but also only excuse that God has for all the suffering, injustice and death in this world is THAT "HE" DOES NOT EXIST!!!!
There's a better one: God is not loving, is a lovecraftian horror.
@@haitaelpastor976 no "he" isn't because "he" does not exist.😁😁
I once heard God sees sinners as much closer to Hitler then we r to his perfect son Jesus Christ.
& with that logic I frankly don't need the ripple effect explanation.
If i was honest with myself, knowing how horrible I am and how undeserving I am is enough.
The ripple effect is just dandy as a compliment. But the main point is, as it pertains to God's holy standard,
"no one deserves anything but to live & suffer and/or die & suffer."
I was raised in a Christian cult who supported this Biblical idea. It caused a lot of pain for me because I saw myself as this worthless human. But if we take the Biblical approach of "If you break one law, you are guilty of breaking all," then we are not truly being judged by our actions because the punishment doesn't fit the crime.
For example, if I have physical relations with my wife when she is on her period, as is a sin according to Leviticus 18:19, then that does not equate me to someone out committing genocide, and I don't think there is any rational way to argue it is.
Who are good people?
If God gave me his powers for a day I will letGood things happen to good people and let bad things happen to bad people and I will also give people the ability to come back to life if they died
That’s why you’re not God, because you view the world from a finite point.
Hi Frank,
Please explain the 'Fine Tuning' argument.
God uses our shortcomings to further our growth.
or does not exist??
Who says you are good? I’m what way have you justified that what you do is the way that is good? Evil things happen because the evil one is about. If you have faith and trust in The Word of God Jesus Adonai the messiah. The one to rule the earth. You should not fear evil or persecution because you should know that your rewards are in heaven and that judgment will be brought upon all those who persecuted Gods children.
1 Corinthians 15:1-4
Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.

Short answer "i dont know but god does" this is a non answer. As long as you use this answer you dont have to actually answer anything.
No, the problem is that current generations have become spoiled and entitled. Thousands of years ago, men and woman were proud to die in the name of God or those they serve, and they looked forward to death. Today with modern medical technology and technological advances, people reject death and reject the idea of suffering. Also, we live in a culture that only understands the “now.” People ask why God let’s a child die, but fail to wonder what tragic incidents could have happened to that child if they were to live. On the opposite side of the coin, would it be more just to let a child live if that child were to be sold into sex trafficking later in life? No one holds all the answers, and the justice and fairness are subjective.
@@brookemoore8369 Thousands of children are being sold as sex slaves every year. Why spare some of that fate, and let the others suffer? They're children. What sin did they commit? Oh, of course, the original sin... Then, if all of us are sinners and thus bad people, why spare some and punish others, again?
The only logical conclusion: God is not loving, he's a lovecraftian horror and we are his playthings.
Without knowledge, power is meaningless.

Very well said.
God is not powerful enough to fix things without using ripple effects? Isn't he all powerful, hasn't he ever created a place (heaven) without any suffering? Why create a painful earth. What's the point?... And I have read the job story... I hate it, I hate that God made a essentially a bet with the devil and gambled job's life to prove he was right and the devil was wrong. Why would you do that to someone you love? And when job asked for a simple explanation, to try to warp things around... God bashed him on how he made everything and he should never question him. That's what dictators in my country do. And maybe job was OK with it... I do not know... I wouldn't be... But anyway, what about his children, they didn't even get a say, they just died and then they were replaced... A friend of mine hanged himself two years ago and up to now.. He can never be replaced. Not in his family's life and not in mine... I forget about it once in a while but... Still am reminded of how things could have been if he was around... How there's only one Ben Ojani mayanja... No matter how many other Bens will be born... The only way I have been able accept such things is to accept that life is suffering and the best we can do is to try and find the few things that make us happy and enjoy them before they go away... This is probably why I can't believe in a god like the Christian God because he was presented to me a something that can solve everything and has all the power and despite that cares about us... But I cant believe that when I see suffering around me... I from Uganda and I saw people die during the presidential riots last year, some of them were people I knew. Killed by their own government... Now covid has finally hit and it's biggest issue is that it's not killing people directly (although it is)... No, it's biggest issue to us as Ugandans is that it's making and already difficult life more difficult... I mean, we were just watching the news today and over 100,400 girls are believed have got early pregnancies and won't be returning to school after the lock down... People have lost their jobs and are going hungry (I don't want any pity) ... And this is supposedly better than the times when the country had civil wars... I don't care about free will, I don't want it if it means that we will suffer like this... I actually feel that without the free will... We probably won't realize we don't have it in the first place so it's okay if it's not there.
Although, I mostly feel that we do not have free will or more like we do not have as much free will as we think we do but let's live that for now... I feel Ben wouldnt mind not having free will either judging by is personality... He probably would have said that "free will got him to kill himself. He would be alive with out it... Then he would laugh... And I would 😁 laugh" but that would be his ghost talking... I wish it was his ghost atleast...
Many people in my country are religious. Because when you see alot of bad things happen and go through alot of suffering, having something to believe in helps alot and makes it easier to go through the day with hope that there's someone powerful out there looking out for you so things will eventually work out so you don't give up. So because of this, in our country, we believe in a lot of things which don't make sense or work just for the hope. It keeps us going. And if things work out, we say our God came through and that makes the faith stronger, if they don't, we keep believing because the other option is to give up and die... Because of this, I don't mind that our people are religious sometimes... Me on the other hand stopped being religious, I accept the world is a hard place and there will always be suffering no matter your faith or religion, belief, background, race or country... I see this is true because people in well off first world countries kill themselves too so they obviously also have things making life miserable for them. I have decided to find happiness where I can and try not to hurt somebody else while I try to get that happiness because I wouldn't want them to do that to me... It may result in to my unhappiness but like I said, life is filled with suffering and making some else suffer won't change that. But helping someone suffer less is better because you want them to help you too when your time comes...this is one of the things I agree with Jesus on... There is a musician in our country who made a song that says "today it's me, tomorrow it's someone else " ...

Thor has a lot to answer for
at least we can't rule out thor unlike the Christian one that fails every investigation
Even for Believers in God there is , THE ONE MO FO RULE. I talk about that in my You Tube video of the same name. Perhaps it is God's way of testing our patience.
there's no such thing as a good person
Wow. What a good quote
Yup.
And this is the kind of idiocy that you get when these people don't know what they're talking about he's speaking sort of metaphorically he's also speaking from no knowledge of what's really going on because no one really knows why God acts the way he does there is no concern for man as far as Satan is concerned Satan is not he's not vested in the man like that he really just isn't because he already nose that man has Free Will and that he has his own mind God don't have nothing to do with that he does not he gave me a free will for that reason specifically so that he could not blame him for the things that he's doing with his life all satan is an opportunist it's like common sense I used to ask all the time it's God is so strong why he keep letting all this crap go on why does he allow innocent children to be raped by wrong people and he don't do nothing about it he won't because he gave me a free will so whatever we're doing on this Earth You Better Watch what you're doing because it's going to come back on you that's the biggest reason for karma I think this is all just my opinion but it's common sense and for all the years that I was asking that question I guess I answered my own question
If you have ever read the words of an angel you’ll see how dry and without character understanding the fruits of the spirit. They have a job and that’s what they do. No free will like us to experience the school that we are subject to down here. Adam and Eve started the rebellion, God just used it to school our hearts.
Prefect!
Well, one thing that I've learnt along the way is that people choices also matter a lot. If you put that together with free will given to us to choose between good and evil, that's where most evil done by human beings to other people we would consider "good" happens.
Since Eden was a place of no suffering and free will existed there, that shows us that free will can exist with elimination of suffering. So free will argument is definitely false.
But we have authority over the devil and itscup to us to use that in prayer on earth as it is in heaven,
Satan is in control due to the earth lease when Adam and eve fell, Jesus came back to tale the keys however and now according to Mathew 18, 18 we can bind and forbid evil and release angels, psalm 91 and forbid accidents and tragedy through our prayers,
Its up to us to use it.
Why would good God allow Satan to have reign over Earth?
when people talk about devils in the 21st century makes me depressed
It's because there are really no good or bad things happening, it's just things happening as the man said in the video. If one action effects another action, as the man in the video believes, then god really has nothing to do with what happens after everything has started. Dying is not a bad thing, if it were then you'd have to say being alive is bad also because it is what produces death. Death is part of life, so I suppose you can think death is the bad part of being alive, but being alive is the main reason we are able to die, so knowing this I would think people would say being alive is bad because we die eventually. The man in the video just basically said that there really are no bad things happening due to the fact that whatever happens might be a good thing for someone else in the future because of this non god like affect on things he calls the ripple effect. The way things will be either have to be because of this ripple effect that he mentions or god makes everything happen the way he wants it to happen, it can not be both, you have to pic one theory and stick to it. The man in the video seems a bit indecisive.
Jeremiah 23:33 And when this people, or the prophet, or a priest, shall ask you, saying, what is the burden of the Lord? You shall then say unto them, what burden? I will even leave you, says the Lord.
:34 And as for the prophet, and the priest, and the people, that shall say, the burden of the Lord, I will even punish that person and one's house.
:35 This shall you say every one to one's neighbour, and every one to his brother, what has the Lord answered? and, what had the Lord spoken?
:36 And the burden of the Lord shall you mention no more: for every one's word shall be one's burden; for you have perverted the words of the living God, of the Lord of hosts our God.
:37 This shall you say to the prophet, what had the Lord answered you? And, what has the Lord spoken?
:38 But since you say, the burden of the Lord; therefore this says the Lord; Because you say this word, the burden of the Lord, and I have sent unto you, saying, you shall not say, the burden of the Lord;
:39 Therefore, behold, I, even I, will utterly forget you, and I will turn away from you, and the city that I gave you and your fathers, and throw you out of my presence:
:40 And I will bring an everlasting guilt upon you, and a perpetual shame, which shall not be forgotten.

I want to believe in Christianity so bad but the stuff some of these people say is gross.
Ah, I see, Frank! So if a psychopathic killer murders a baby, this is actually a good thing because we can trust God that good will come from it eventually. Wow, I now see that murderers, rapists, the Holocaust and Hiroshima are all part of God's plan and that plan is good for us. Honestly, I had no idea that such thinking could come out of a sentient being, Frank. You seriously should seek help.
Know killing baby isn't good thing the evil doer will be punished unless he repents of his sins
Frank is a multi-millionaire who probably does not believe the crap he is spouting.....i really think religion is a form of mental illness.....if only one person was religious in the world we would lock them up but because so many believe we give it a pass...... it's akin to an intelligent adult believing in Santa
God allows you to repent and get saved so you dont l go to hell for eternity
