Re: Why does God sometimes reward evil people -

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.
Isaiah 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.
Amos 3:6 Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it?
Numbers 21:6 And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.
Matthew 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
Matthew 10:35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
Matthew 10:36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.
