Pick up a Bible and read it. I believe you can do that now. When God's collective people are in faith, as a whole they prosper. When they sin, they are punished. It's all through the OT. (that's the first 2/3rds)

Yes, thank you for the illustration. We believe in something called "the New Covenant." God became Incarnate and suffered. The simplistic idea that good people get material, temporal rewards and bad people get material, temporal punishments is disproved by opening your eyes.

Be glad you live in a country that God has blessed. It might not be blessed for much longer.

God's covenant of grace has been through all the ages. Even Abraham's faith, not works, was accounted to him as righteousness.
