Why Do Good Things Happen to Bad People
April 8, 2008 |
Posted by michaelp · Filed Under Christian Philosophy
Interesting blog post by Alex Pruss at Problogion (great name!):
A traditional formulation of the problem of evil is to ask: “Why do bad things happen to good people and good things to bad people?” An interesting feature of our discourse–both academic and popular–about the problem of evil is that the second part is not much talked about these days.
There are, of course, good reasons for me not to be too deeply worried about the second part. Sinner that I am, I had better hope that good things happen to bad people. God’s mercy is sovereign, and he has the right to refrain from, or at least delay, punishing the sinner. And, anyway, in the end, vengeance is his, and he will repay the unrepentant (may his grace give us the gift of final perseverance).
See the rest here.
