Fact Check, 60

~ Good People Get Bad Things ~       

Bible Quotation?  ~  “Bad things happen to good people.”

The Bible Says  ~  While that statement makes sense from a human reasoning and from looking around with a human perspective—it is actually bad theology.  There are no good people!  “For there is no difference; for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:22b-23). 

“As it is written: ‘There is none righteous, no, not one; there is none who understands; there is none who seeks after God.  They have all turned aside; they have together become unprofitable; there is none who does good, no, not one.  Their throat is an open tomb; with their tongues they have practiced deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips; whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness.  Their feet are swift to shed blood; destruction and misery are in their ways; and the way of peace they have not known.  There is no fear of God before their eyes’” (Romans 3:10-18).
