Why does God sometimes reward evil people
 

Why does God sometimes reward evil people for their evil deeds, while ignoring goodhearted peoples need for help and support?

Romans 6:23 clearly says that those who are sinners will be granted death, but yet i have seen so many people who clearly were evil sinners who were rewarded with great lives. Why is this? :confused:

Evil people go to Hell, good people go to Heaven. Seems pretty clear to me.

Thanks Cranky, but i am talking about why some evil people are rewarded with great lives while they are alive here on earth. They don't deserve great lives and should be send to hell immediately :mad:

It's partly our own fault for not having established a True Christian™ teocracy yet. A lot of homers earn large amounts of money by being prostitutes and a lot of wizards use magic to earn money. This is the sad reality but if we created a society based on Biblical Law we would finally be able to put a stop to these menaces and throw rocks at them until they die.

Allah(pigs be upon him) gave us Sharia Law through the Prophet Mohammad(pigs be upon him)

Well one must remember that God set the system up from the beginning to fail.

I like that idea.

I am surprised to see the Imam broke away from lapping up his pig urine to post some more of his pagan ravings here.

Then ban him. Then we will at the same time get the rid of the horrible smell of camel urine. Clearly it is a win-win.

Because God takes the long view and knows those people will repent on their death beds like Adolph Hitler did.

Remember everyone is sinners outside The Grace of God®.

I have always been under the beleif that God rewards bad people so that when they die, the pain and suffering of Hell will be that much worse.
Those that are good need no reward as merely being BFF to Jesus is more than a person could ever wish for. Plus the fact we can feel secure (and smug, we earned that right) knowing we are going to Heaven.

I wonder if these people are really happy? They may have their trophy wives, their Olympic swimming pools, private jets and yachts, European sports cars, prolonged holidays in the most beautiful places on earth, the finest food, they are waited upon hand and foot, they don't have a boss shouting at them, or have to get up in a morning but, I ask again… “Are these people really happy?”

How can they be when they know Jesus is frowning at them?

Look at these jigaboos, they live in squalor with rampant disease and poverty, but they are happy because Jesus is.

Not only I can smell camel-urine, I can smell blasphemy.

Can't you see that our temporary existence on this earth is a speck of dust at the start of an eternal pathway of which we shall travel down when we die?

Evil people being "rewarded", ahah! It's hilarious to even think of it like that when you know that they are going to spend an eternity in HELL!

Re: Why does God sometimes reward evil people
 

Why does God's treatment of others concern you?

Should you not be focusing your energies on pleasing God in your own brief life, so that you may spend eternity pleasing Him in the next life? Are you jealous of someone you think less deserving than you, coveting the life that person has and thinking you should have it instead?

Who are you to decide for God who is evil and who is good? God creates both evil and good; He knows whom He finds to be evil and whom He finds to be good.

He will cast those He finds to be evil -- the sweet little old lady next door who is a big fan of Oprahism's New-Agey hoodoo; the friendly atheist down the street who gave your daughter CPR and saved her life; the Hindu cashier at the convenience store who ran out to stop you when you dropped a $20 bill -- into His Lake of Fire for eternal torture at Judgment.

He will reward those He finds to be good -- all True Christians™, including the very godly Jeffrey Dahmer, who found Jesus shortly before his death -- by allowing them to serve and worship Him for ever and ever in Heaven.

You do not know by outward appearance what is in the hearts of others. You do not know that they will not find Jesus later in life and repent. God will make that determination.

Do not be fooled by the false believers in Allah(pigs be upon him). Would you like me to send an Imam to you so you find Allah(pigs be upon him).

SURA 20.
132. And enjoin prayer on your followers, and steadily adhere to it; We do not ask you for subsistence; We do give you subsistence, and the [good] end is for guarding [against evil].
133. And they say: Why does he not bring to us a sign from his Lord? Has not there come to them a clear evidence of what is m the previous books?
134. And had We destroyed them with chastisement before this, they would certainly have said: O our Lord! why didst Thou not send to us a messenger, for then we should have followed Thy communications before that we met disgrace and shame.
135. Say: Every one [of us] is awaiting, therefore do await: So you will come to know who is the follower of the even path and who goes aright.

I think it's because God is totally righteous and likes doing nice things for people when He feels like it.
Not His fault they abuse his graciously dispensed gifts.

One day all these "Well-Off" sinners will approach the throne and God will say, "I gave you a million dollars, an Aston Martin, and a swimming pool, and you STILL screwed this up?"

For another perspective, check out Matthew 6:2 - "Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. "

There is a similar principle at work here. The wealthy sinners on earth have their "reward", such as it is, but it's all they will ever get and it will one day fade away, whereas heaven is forever. The decay of their material wealth glorifies God in his permanence.

It's the same deal as why Christians face persecution whereas sinner "fit in".

Re: Why does God sometimes reward evil people
 

You hit the nail on the head.

The real question should be: why do we tolerate a society in which evil people are allowed to be rewarded and even worshiped as idols? Why aren't they being stoned?

Re: Why does God sometimes reward evil people
 

I am all in for that. I wouldn't hesitate to vote for a True Christian Society.

Re: Why does God sometimes reward evil people
 

Here is probably the best evidence i could find that shows that evil people will be punished and good christian people will be rewarded.
