Why Does God Allow Evil People To Prosper And Good People To Suffer by Mikel99(m): 4:30pm On May 29, 2023
Today's world is full of all kinds of evil. Evil people do evil without facing any consequences whatsoever. They also ask for God's mercy which He dispenses almost instantly on them. Some even ask for more blessings, they are given. Good people ask for God's favour and mercy, they are delayed and sometimes not given. As it is , I don't think this is just and fair. Good people should get what they deserve and bad people should have their portion too. It looks as if God is indifferent or does not care about us one bit. If He truly does as He says in His Books, there's no ways He will sit down idly on His Throne and do nothing about the evil occuring every day in the world.
Tell me, what is God's justice all about?

is that what you think
we definitely have the wrong school of thought
we have been brainwashed to think there's someone coming to help us
for instance
if you dont have a jamb registration number there's no way you can be given admission in to the university
either you cheated or you win on merit
you will still be celebrated
Re: Why Does God Allow Evil People To Prosper And Good People To Suffer by Mikel99(m): 4:41pm On May 29, 2023
I have heard about the story of a man who caged the destinies of all the children of his elder brother in an evil pot( this is for those who believe in the supernatural). The children became affected and didn't become successful in life. His own children on the other hand became successful. The man later repented and then died. This means that he had been forgiven of the sin he committed. Tell me, what will be the justice of the children he ruined their lives? Had he done evil and escape?
That is why I am advocating for the swift and almost immediate punishment of extreme forms of evil. If done not like this and delayed, the perpetrators can get away without being punished and the victims of these evils will not get their justice. Humans are very wise. Some wicked people can do evil and later sincerely repent. Of course God is merciful and will surely forgive them but the victims of their evil will not get their justice. I need your thoughts on this wise naira Landers.

What is the evidence that the man potted the destiny of his nephews?

Is destiny tangible?
Can it be put in a pot?
Is God a believer in destiny?
God must believe what you believe to act the way you want him to act, otherwise he's Almighty God for disappointing every man's expectations at one point in time or the other.

It's either you believe God or wait for God to believe you and do your biddings.

He confessed before his death. Figuratively, it is possible. It is done by putting one's essence or one's personal belongings in a pot and then calling one's name repeatedly three times. After that, incantations are recited. When this is done, the affected will have one or more evil spirits attached to him or her for life. The affected will then start having blockages in all areas of life. In fact, some people's madness are induced by something similar to this. I hope you know that not all cases of insanity are natural.That is if you believe in the supernatural.

Baba, if what he did was potent, the nephews had the opportunity to do something more potent for themselves too.

If they can't, they helped the enemy. The moment you are doing absolutely nothing to help yourself in life, you're already helping your enemy.

They prayed and prayed but nothing happened. It was later when he confessed of his own will that they became liberated.They went to a lot of powerful spiritualists but couldn't get solution to their problems. It instead became worse.

The Bible says good people makes foolish decisions and then turn round to blame God. Jesus himself went further to confirm it when he said that, "the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light".

If you have this mindset, life has to work accordingly. Now that they are liberated, there's hope.

Except we enter another phase where God is to blame, on and on till we get to another breakthrough.

If you're a ruler whose opposer is anticipating overthrow so as to end your reign, who will you favour, those supporting your tenor or the supporter of your enemy?

After the fall of man in the garden of Eden God allowed Satan to rule over mankind so Adam's descendants can taste Satan's rulership to the full.

So God's servants have to struggle to survive under Satan's system while Satan keeps his own agents and sharing all the goodies his system can offer.

If you know what God's Kingdom has in stock for believers you will pity faithless people! smiley

Prosperity and riches is a type of punishment in God's Hands too.

That is why most people are poor.

And if you were rich you would know that riches without God is also a punishment.

Just look at the faces of those you call rich when they are not performing and see the pain there. They are in hell already.

Don't deceive yourself. People know Truths.

They may act like they celebrate you but when they depart from you, they confess the Truth that "dis one don use wuru wuru pass jamb. We know say e no get head for book before. Dis cuntree don spoil patapata".

We all know those who will pass jamb and those who must cheat and those who will prosper lawfully from those who will never prosper unless they cheat and steal and kill.

God has already foresettled these things.

their is no evil or good , we have wise and ignorant , the ignorant through stupidity and love to be enslaved made the wise suffer and the wise ( knowledgeable ) vow to make the Ignorants suffer.
We have two types of wise group
A: those who rather stay on earth to punish the ignorants( they build more churches and mosques for the Ignorants )
B: those who chose to commit suicide to avoid the tortures of the ignorants who love to be enslaved by few.
The wise are 4% and the Ignorants are 96% .

So where do you belong .
Yahweh aka Satan has no power to determine shit remember.

Talking of ignorants...they said tinubu hate igbos , but his son is marrying an Igbo and his dark business is handled by igbos.
He knew the poor Yoruba loves tribalism so he injected what they love and they fall for it . Who is more wicked in the two, tinubu chasing power or Ignorant poor yorubas who rather die than allow igbos rule?

You see, "making sense" is relative.
Let's say I've been to Korea and I understand their calligraphy. You on the other hand have neither been to Korea nor understand their calligraphy.

If we're both presented with a manuscript written in Korean, it would definitely make sense to me and to you it wouldn't.
That's to show that experience and exposure are necessary ingredients in deciding what makes sense and what not to every individual.

Though no matter the level of exposure, exposures can't beat experience.
No matter how real something is, your experience about it is the realest.
Many atheists were once theists and they prolly knew more about religion.

I can't speak on everybody's behalf, but i can speak based on what I see around me in my immediate environment.

Well i'm also a creationist but i've got a lot to say and i've met lots of athiests but what i discovered is that they don't have accurate knowledge about religion most atheists only pick few things they've heard about religion and run to a conclusion that believers in God are senseless! smiley

Not at all, there are diversities of Atheism. There are antitheists, there are apatheists, there are agnostics atheists e.t.c.
The reason some atheists think some theists are stupid is because "Faith" is a denial of common sense. Even in churches, pastors always say "you can't use your brain when you are following God".

Here is it.
A normal human brain should reject that a snake talked, that a donkey talked, that bread fell from heaven,that someone had to become his own son and had to sacrifice himself to himself for the people he cursed by himself.

Now a normal human brain cannot grasp what I've stated above.
Okay let's say we are ready to believe, but can these things be repeated before our very eyes? No! So there is no point in believing.

That's the reason some atheists believe that theists are senseless for believing in what is impossible in the guise of "Faith".

Many atheists were extremely religious people, people they became atheists.

I was extremely religious myself, I saw the in and out of Christianity, I was almost on my way to becoming a Rev. Father before I backed out.

@ the other guy that I called "dumb". I've known the guy for a while, whenever you say anything that doesn't sit well with him, the next thing is "insults" and the guy doesn't even understand simple english.
