Interesting! The ways of the world can indeed be profitable - in the short run. We tend to become what we focus on - spending a life focusing on this world can be very profitable . . . but focusing on the next even more so.

That is the better question.

I know you meant this in jest (at least, I hope so), but my pastor related a grand truth in this light, to wit: This reality is as close to Heaven as the lost will get and as close to Hell as a believer will ever be.

"To show that you are the children of your Father Who is in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the wicked and on the good, and makes the rain fall upon the upright... "
-Matthew 5:45

[[Why do good things happen to bad people?]]

Eternity in hell is all the punishment needed for those that are bad- They may prosper her on earth- get away with stuff etc- but their eternity is etched on stone unless they accept Christ before death

It has been said- life on earth for a sinner is as close to heaven as they will ever get, and life on earth for a believer is as close to hell as they will ever get

The bad may prosper- get away with crimes etc- But God is watching and will hold them to account one day
