[quote=Anonymous]Why Do Bad Things Happen to Good People? I know that this question has personally been on my mind and on the minds of many around me. I can help but be sadden when I turn on the news and all I hear is that innocent people are being killed. From Israel to Palestine, from Russia to Ukraine; everywhere we look, bad things are happening to good people. Now the million $$ question: Why?
Many people believe that since God is the creator and the almighty that he is responsible for all the bad things that are happing in the world.  But is this thought in line with what the bible teaches? Consider what the Bible says about God:
•	Jehovah is righteous in all his ways- Psalm 145:17
•	All his ways are justice. A God of faithfulness who is never unjust; righteous and upright is he- Deuteronomy 32:4
•	Jehovah is very tender and in affection and merciful- James 5:11
Since the bible describes God as a loving God, does he then “test” us with bad things? James 1:13 states:  When under trail, let no one say : ‘I am being tried by god.” Why?  Because “with evil things God cannot be tried nor does he himself try anyone.” So who or what them is to blame for when bad things happen? 
The answer can be found in the article “Why do bad things happen to good people” at:
www.jw.org
This article covers the bibles viewpoint on this subject matter. Some Sub-headings are:
•	Being in the wrong place at the wrong time- “Time and unexpected events overtake them all”- Ecclesiastes 9:11
•	Are humans responsible? Each one is tried by being drawn out and enticed by his own desire. Then the desire, when it has become fertile, gives birth to sin; in turn sin, when it has been carried out, brings forth death – James 1:14-15
•	Is Karma a cause of Suffering? Many believe that bad things happen to good people because of the law of Karma. They are reaping the fruitage of what they did in their previous lives. 
•	The Primary Cause! What does the bible indicate is the cause for all suffering.
Hope you enjoy this article.
