God is punishing the good because some are bad?

What a load of crap.

First, there is no good except from God. Second, these trials, as much as I hate them, are required to increase our reliance on Him. I urge you to dust off your Bible if you have one and begin to read.

[Anti-Hillary]

You are wrong. God is not punishing the good. The “good” live in a society that is has turned its back on God and because God is just He is exacting judgment on the society as a whole. The bible is full of this example. However, God has ALWAYS provided a way of escape for his people before final destruction. IE; Noah and the flood, Lot and Sodom and Gomorrah, and in the future, the Rapture.

Just as if your spouse committed murder and was caught and jailed, you would escape the final judgment but you would NOT escape the consequences of your spouses actions.

“God is punishing the good because some are bad?

We all suffer for the evil of others. You don’t think there are some “good” people in North Korea? Yet they are suffering terribly. No “good” people in the gulag? No “good” people in Nigeria at their church service? Were there no “good” people in the twin towers?

Of course there are/were. But they suffer, suffer terribly, when evil men do their thing.

We are suffering (mildly, most of us) right now because of the evil of some of the people in power over us. Myself I have had an overall good life. Babies in the womb, not so much. Recipients of “assisted suicide,” no, etc. All because “some are bad.”
