Why Do Bad Things Happen To Good People?
Our authority is always the Bible, so let's take a look at why bad things happen. Let's examine three reasons.
First, the Bible clearely states at 1 John 5:19, "The whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one." Many mistakenly blame God because they think he is ruling the world. But according to this scripture its "the wicked one" that is ruling the earth. That makes sense because in heaven, where God rules, there is peace and here on earth the wicked one is ruling and we have much wickedness.
The second reason is found at Ecclesiastes 8:9, in part is says, "...man has dominated man to his injury." Yes, man's struggle for dominace, money, and greed has resulted in war, oppression, and much suffering! The third reason is also found in Ecclesiastes chapter 9 the last part of verse 11 reads, "....because time and unforeseen occurrence befall them all." Simply being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Sometimes when a question has been answerd it leads to more questions, like: Why does God allow suffering? When will he step in and end suffering?
