Why do bad things happen to good people?

Hi.

Welcome to Little Lessons.

In our previous two episodes, we've been considering some very difficult questions for which, in

my more than 40 years of being in the ministry, and more than that of being a Christian, I've

never come up with a answer or read an answer or heard an answer that fully satisfied me.

I get some degree of understanding, but not as much as I would like.

Of course, that agrees with what Paul said.

Paul said, "We're looking through a glass darkly or dimly."

That is, imagine that that's our perception of things.

We don't understand or see everything.

It's not all clear to us.

We're looking through a glass that's fogged over, and we can make out some stuff on the

other side of that glass, but we can't see as much as we want.

This is one of those questions, you know?

Why do bad things happen to good people?

Well, first of all, we got to question about the good people part, because all have sinned

and fallen short of the glory of God, and very few of us could say, "I deserve better

treatment."

No, we're all getting better treatment than we deserve, okay?

If it wasn't for the mercy and grace of God, you and I would have been french fries a lot

time ago, and we often take that mercy for granted.

But why do bad things happen to good people?

The primary example of that happening would be Job.

He was the best person on the earth, according to God Himself, and some very bad things happened

to him.

It was to test him to see if he would serve God and love God even if God didn't bless

him.

That's quite a test.

Something to think about when we suffer difficulties, because some people do give up on God when

they face difficulties.

"Why is God allowing this?"

Think of all the Christians down through the years who have suffered martyrdom or imprisonment

or severe persecution for their faith.

They all have to at least have the thought, at some time or another, "Why, God, if you

love me, are you letting me go through this?"

Paul had to reassure some of those Christians, saying, "Nothing can separate us from the

love of God, the love of Christ, persecution, tribulation, distress, peril, all those things,

nothing can separate us from the love of God."

And you have to believe that when you don't feel like it.

If God allows you to go through difficulties, or face tests, doesn't change the fact the

Jesus died for you, and God loves you, and He may be testing you.

That could be a possible reason why bad things happen to good people.

There's a passage of scripture in Luke 13, starting at verse number 1, about five verses

here.

We read from Luke's writing, "Now on the same occasion, there were some present who reported

to him," that's Jesus, "about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their

sacrifices."

We don't know the details of that event, but there were people from Galilee came to Jerusalem

to make some sacrifices, and somehow, they wound up being slaughtered by Herod with their

sacrifices ... or by Pilate, rather, and it wasn't Pilate himself, it was obviously his

soldiers, or somebody under his authority.

And Jesus said to them, "Do you suppose that these Galileans were greater sinners than

all other Galileans because they suffered this fate?"

Well, no doubt, if Jesus' audience had been entirely honest, many of them would have said,

"Well, yes.

God is sovereign.

God controls everything.

Why would God ever allow such a terrible thing to happen to these people if they didn't deserve

it?

And obviously they're worse culprits than the average person.

We don't know what their sins were, but obviously their fate reveals that they are bad guys,

and they got what they deserved."

Well, Jesus, the Son of God, God in the flesh, says to that assumption, "I tell you, no.

That's not it."

But he doesn't answer the question.

Just like he didn't answer the question why -- fully, in my understanding -- why the man

was born blind that we read about in our previous episode and reading from the story in John

chapter 9.

"No, I tell you."

But then he goes on to warn everybody, "But, unless you repent, you will all likewise perish."

Hm.

Wow.

That's what Jesus said during a time of calamity.

"Let it be a warning to those who survived.

Repent of your sins.

Turn to the living God with a living faith."

Jesus didn't stop there.

He goes on to cite another example that would've been on everybody's minds.

"Do you suppose that those 18 on whom the Tower of Siloam fell, and killed them, were

worse culprits than all the men who live in Jerusalem?"

If Jesus' audience would've been honest, many of them would have said, "Yes, God's sovereign.

This couldn't have happened apart from His sovereignty, and so, God is fair, God is just,

God is the judge.

Obviously, these 18 guys must've been deserving of the Tower of Siloam."

Well, Jesus goes on to say the same thing.

"No, I tell you, no.

And unless you repent, you will likewise perish."

Here's one message.

You think they're worse culprits?

No, you're all equal culprits in God's eyes.

Don't be assuming that because you were spared, that you weren't deserving of the same fate.

Now, we don't know why the Tower of Siloam fell onto 18 guys.

Sounds like ... obviously, there was chance involved in it.

Why would a tower fall on people?

Were they building the tower, constructing it, and there was some flaw in their building

technique, and a big rock was dislodged, and that caused the collapse of this thing on

18 of the guys who were working, or were 18 men just standing there in the shade of that

tower, and there was a slight earthquake that caused that tower to fall?

Jesus doesn't give us the answers.

He just says, "Let that serve as a warning to you that death can come unexpectedly, at

any time, and there's no formulas here.

And I'm not going to give you a formula.

I'm not going to even give you insight as to why, but it does happen."

Let's face it.

Around the world, there are accidents, there are natural disasters and so forth, and we

do find evidence in scripture, yes, that some of these things can happen as a result of

God's judgment.

He takes credit.

I'm judging you.

But in these cases here, maybe we shouldn't be asking why good things happen to bad people,

but ask why do ... or, why do bad things happen to good people, but the exact opposite.

Why does anything good happen to anybody, because we're all bad, okay?

This is, again, a little lesson, and that's a big question.

Thanks for answering it.

There's much more we can ... thanks for asking it, rather.

There's much more that could be said, but that's a Little Lesson.

Thanks so much.

Why do evangelicals love Trump Dumb question Why wouldn't they - Duration: 1:57.

Why do evangelicals love Trump?

Dumb question Why wouldn�t they

why do white, right-wing Christian evangelicals support Donald Trump?

The answer is quite simple.

Their agenda is his agenda.

Trump and the Republican Party are working to take away women's reproductive rights and

to extend special "conscience" protections to "Christians" who feel that their faith

should somehow supersede the law.

They view the poor, the disabled, and others as "useless eaters" and are working to protect

white privilege and the power of white right-wing Christians in all areas of American life.

Trump is also a petit-fascist and an authoritarian.

This vision of the world is embraced in every way by right-wing Christians.

Too many pundits and other members of the chattering class prefer to make riddles out

of the obvious: They obsess about evangelical leaders offering "mulligans" for Trump's "sins"

and other assorted examples of right-wing Christian hypocrisy

While the answer to this supposed riddle is nothing more than crude realpolitik -- the

context, logic and implications of right-wing Christian support for Trump remain important.

Consider the following.

Why Do People Talk In Their Sleep? - Duration: 8:20.

Why Do People Talk In Their Sleep?

Do you talk during your sleep? Sleep talking, also known as somniloquy is considered a type of parasomnia, an abnormal behavior that takes place during sleep.

Various factors such as stress, depression, alcohol, and sleep deprivation cause sleep talking.

Apart from that, genetics and other sleep disorders may induce it.

Medically, it is harmless.

So, there is nothing to panic about it.

Are you a chit chat person at night? The question is not about your chats during late night parties.

But, this is about your talks while you sleep.

Surprised? Yes, some people chatter during their sleep.

You may not know whether you are a sleep talker or not.

Your partner may be able to answer that.

Or sometimes, you may have noticed whispers, mumbles, or speeches coming from your partner during the sleep.

Well, that is sleep taking.

Understanding Sleep Talking.

Sleep talking, also known as somniloquy is considered a type of parasomnia, which is an abnormal behavior that takes place during sleep.

Those who talk during sleep are not aware of their behavior.

Hence, they sound different from their normal speech.

Since it is a result of an unconscious mind, even the court does not admit it as an evidence.

Sleep talk usually happens during the REM (rapid eye movement) and non-REM (NREM) phases of sleep.

REM phase is when you dream and sometimes, you may tend to act out your dreams, resulting in sleep talk.

And during the deep stages of NREM sleep, you sound like gibberish.

So, are you curious to know your chances of sleep talking? Yes, you may sleep talk.

In fact, anyone can talk while they are asleep.

However, it is more common in males and children.1 A survey of 2,022 school going children in the age range of 3 to 10 concluded that about half of the kids sleep talk at least once a year.

However, less than 10% do it every night.2 And it typically disappears during adulthood and does not require any intervention.3 Sometimes, sleep talking can occur between two sleepers.

They do not recollect any of the conversation when they get up.

Sleep talking from an unconscious mind may not necessarily reveal secrets in its life.

If you ever try to decode what your partner or child said during the sleep, you may fail.

Most of the time it is difficult to understand.

The content may not have any meaning at all.

It can be funny or offensive.

The person may talk about the past events or experiences.

But, chances are high that it may not have anything to do with the reality.

Causes Of Sleep Talking.

Many consider sleep talking as part of their dreams.

But, various other factors cause it.4.

External Factors: Stress, depression, alcohol, fever, and sleep deprivation may lead to sleep talking.

If you are someone with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), chances of sleeping disorders like sleep talking are more.5.

Genetics: If sleep talking runs in your family, you will also do that.

If parents had a habit of sleep talking during their childhood, kids are likely to experience it more.

Sleep Disorders: You may talk while sleeping if you suffer from other sleep disorders such as sleep apnea, confusion arousals, REM sleep behavior, and nightmares.

Mental Illness: In persons over 25 years of age, sleep talking might be associated with mental or medical illness.

However, it is not common.

Medications: Certain medications could induce sleep talking.

The use of montelukast, which is a drug for asthma, may result in the development of parasomnias in the form of sleep talking or sleepwalking.6.

Is Sleep Talking Bad.

Medically, there is nothing wrong with sleep talking.7 But, there are other factors that may disturb people.

It may agitate your sleeping partner.

Moreover, it embarrasses the person who has this disorder.

Even though it is normal, if sleep talking happens every night, disturbing your partner's sleep, then you may seek help.

Sometimes the doctor may prescribe medications or suggest changes in your sleep schedule.

Why do I never grow fat though I eat a lot? - Duration: 1:59.

Why do I never grow fat though I eat a lot?

Here are the most common issues of not gaining weight despite eating well and healthy.

You are overestimating your calories intake: Weight gain is the game of caloric surplus, that is you have to consume more calories than what you are actually in need of.

If you eat 500 calories per day, in addition to your daily requirement, you will gain one pound of healthy weight in a week.

Look for the calories that you are taking and have an eyesight at your activities levels as well, that either you are eating more calories than your requirement or not.

Exercise is the must for weight gain, however, when you trying to gain weight, you have to be focused on the resistant exercise and not cardio. cardio burns a lot of calories and thus you will be unable to gain weight.

Genetic considerations: Some person are by genetic lean, look at your family members, if they are lean, then you have to put more efforts and wait for more time to gain weight.

Certain medical conditions restrict the weight gain of your body, these are undiagnosed diabetes, gastric issues and overactive thyroid gland. Check for these factors of not gaining weight as well.
