Everyone asks this question. And I mean everyone!
"Why does God allow evil men & women to live?"
Well, should He instead kill them before they do evil deeds?
Should He judge murderers and rapists now?
Wait a second... let's not stop there...
God is perfect & good, therefore, NO EVIL will go unpunished!
Think about a good judge. He won't let the criminals get away
will he? Not if he's a good judge he wont. Well, God is the
same.. except His standards are much higher!
what about...
THEIVES,
LIARS,
ADULTERERS,
FORNICATORS,
THOSE WHO LUST,
& THOSE WHO HATE?
If God judged evil today,
all unconverted men and women
would perish & go to hell.
Thank God that He is patiently
waiting for them to turn to
Jesus so they can be saved from
His terrible wrath.
So, no need to worry about if God
is going to punish all law-breakers..
In the end...
Justice Will Be Served!
Keep this in mind...
If I stepped on an ant... nothing would happen.
If I killed a bum... I'd get time.
If I assasinated the president.. I'd get life!
Do you see what changed here? Not the sin committed.
But THE AUTHORITY of whom I committed the sin against!
In the same way. God is eternal, holy, righteous and perfect...
His standard is much higher and therfore the punishment in
sinning against Him is ETERNAL! AND much more painful then
anything you could ever imagine.
Thank God we had Jesus pay the fine for what we deserved.
The question is...
Will we 'humble' ourselves & realize we have sinned majorly against Him...
REPENT & TRUST in Him to save us before we have our day of judgement before
God. Who will take the blame? Are you going to let Jesus..?
Or are you gonna take it into your own hands and allow justice for your life to be served in hell for eternity useing your own contaminated life of sin? Jesus is the only one who can satisfy judgement for your sin cause He was perfect. Make your choice before it's too late.
*HUGGS & LOVE to you all!*

"He who overcomes shall inherit all things,
and I will be his God and he shall be My son.
But the cowardly,
unbelieving,
abominable,
murderers,
sexually immoral,
sorcerers,
idolaters,
& all liars
shall have their part in the lake
which burns with fire and brimstone,
which is the second death.”
(Revelation 21:7-8)

"Do you not know that the unrighteous
will not inherit the kingdom of God?
Do not be deceived.
Neither fornicators,
nor idolaters,
nor adulterers,
nor homosexuals,
nor sodomites,
nor thieves,
nor covetous,
nor drunkards,
nor revilers,
nor extortioners
will inherit the kingdom of God.
And such were some of you.
But you were washed,
but you were sanctified,
but you were justified in
the name of the Lord Jesus
and by the Spirit of our God."
(1 Corinthians 6:9-11)

Very well said and I agree. If I could add a little in that we were sent here to choose our path, whether that be good or it be evil.
DEUTERONOMY 30:15-19
15 ¶ See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil;
16 In that I command thee this day to love the Lord thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply: and the Lord thy God shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it.
17 But if thine heart turn away, so that thou wilt not hear, but shalt be drawn away, and worship other gods, and serve them;
18 I denounce unto you this day, that ye shall surely perish, and that ye shall not prolong your days upon the land, whither thou passest over Jordan to go to possess it.
19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:
God will help us and wants us to choose His way (verse 19) but He cannot choose for us. Simply, evil exists so that we may know joy. Any trial we've overcome we know how hard and painful it was to get through it. But we are better for it in the end and appreciate the little and good things much more. Satan tempts us with evil things constantly as he would have us choose his way. But God has given us a gift that we will never be tempted more than we can bare which means we have the power to overcome Satan's temptations.
Sorry, this went a little long. Thanks for sharing.
Hey Douglas! Thanks I appreciate that added commentary! AMEN! :D *Blessings!*
