If God exist, why does he reward those that bullied us?

This quote altering has gone to your head in a big way. It only reveals you as a silly liar.

I'd say the second option has a lot more validity.

That's an interesting viewpoint.

Who are these well-to-do bullies anyway? It has just been axiomatically in this set of argumentation that "bullies are rewarded", however such actually needs to be demonstrated in at least greater than 50% of cases and also it needs to be demonstrated that the victims of bullies are having an ineptitude of reward in at least 50% or cases.

Q.E.D.

Because God works in mysterious ways

But. of course, in the end this practice that Iamnotaparakeet has concocted of inserting false quotations of posts is a basic sabotaging of accepted procedures at this or any site and it will be stopped, one way or another, or the basic integrity of posting will be destroyed. In the end it cannot be allowed. At first I thought it might be an amusing ploy, but it is too basically destructive of civil interaction to be permitted.

Then stop doing it yourself you hypocrite.

You started it, kiddo. I thought it worth a try but have second thoughts. As idiotic as many of the discussions are, total chaos is really too messy.

Actually, since you only provide either one-liners or nested one-liners, the latter of which I was attempting to emulate, I had to alter your single statements rather than perform the stunt you do in nesting your own words among the multitude of another.

There is nothing wrong in paraphrasing someone else's statements in one's own words. But to actually put your own words in someone else's mouth is kin to libel and verges on the criminal. My recent excursion into that was inexcusable and I apologize. It is indefensible in anyone.

FOR THE LOVE OF PETE! STOP NESTING QUOTES WITHIN QUOTES!



My eyes are killing me.

Or at least tip them on their sides so we can use them as containers.

What would you put in them?

HaHa! I have no idea. Good one Keet.

God has nothing to do with the world's ills. At 1 John 5:19 we read "the whole world is lying in the [power of the] wicked one." The reference on "wicked one" returns the following scriptures:

(Matthew 13:19) Where anyone hears the word of the kingdom but does not get the sense of it, the wicked one comes and snatches away what has been sown in his heart; this is the one sown alongside the road.
(Luke 4:6) and the Devil said to him: “I will give you all this authority and the glory of them, because it has been delivered to me, and to whomever I wish I give it.
(John 12:31) Now there is a judging of this world; now the ruler of this world will be cast out.
(Hebrews 2:14) Therefore, since the “young children” are sharers of blood and flesh, he also similarly partook of the same things, that through his death he might bring to nothing the one having the means to cause death, that is, the Devil;

Therefore the wicked one referred to at 1 John 5:19 is none other than Satan himself.

Furthermore the bible calls Satan "the god of this system of things" (2 Corinthians 4:4). People like Hitler, Saddam, Osama and the like exist because they lie in the power of the wicked one; the God of this system of things. In 2 Timothy 3:1-5 Paul writes through divine inspiration, "But know this, that in the last days critical times hard to deal with will be here. 2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, self-assuming, haughty, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, disloyal, 3 having no natural affection, not open to any agreement, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, without love of goodness, 4 betrayers, headstrong, puffed up [with pride], lovers of pleasures rather than lovers of God, 5 having a form of godly devotion but proving false to its power;" In Matthew 24:3 "while [Jesus] was sitting upon the Mount of Olives, the disciples approached him privately, saying: “Tell us, When will these things be, and what will be the sign of your presence and of the conclusion of the system of things?” in 7-8 Jesus replies “For nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be food shortages and earthquakes in one place after another. 8 All these things are a beginning of pangs of distress." Why? Revelation 12:12 says "Woe for the earth and for the sea, because the Devil has come down to YOU, having great anger, knowing he has a short period of time." Satan is essentially in a jail cell awaiting trial; the jail cell is earth, and he's venting his anger all over us. Why here? Why Earth? Because this is the scene of the crime. It is here he originally destroyed humanity's chance at a perfect life when he told Eve the first lie in Genesis 3:4-5 "At this the serpent said to the woman: “YOU positively will not die. 5 For God knows that in the very day of YOUR eating from it YOUR eyes are bound to be opened and YOU are bound to be like God, KNOWING good and bad.” Well Satan got what he wanted. He wanted to be a God. But it is here that things will be settled between Satan and Jehovah God for all the world to see, and Jehovah's angelic family and Satan's demons. The question will be "Does Jehovah have the right to his Universal Sovereignty?" The answer of course is yes because he created all things!

Nation will rise against nation. Food shortages, earthquakes, school shootings, nuclear weapons, Hitler, World War 1 and 2, global terrorism, and so on and so forth. All of this has occurred since 1914. The world is becoming more and more dangerous. Would you not say that critical times hard to deal with are here? If you say Yes, then I say it is because "the whole world is lying in the [power of the] wicked one." But not for long!

A new system is coming.

(Revelation 21:4) And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.
(Isaiah 25:8) He will actually swallow up death forever, and the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will certainly wipe the tears from all faces. And the reproach of his people he will take away from all the earth, for Jehovah himself has spoken [it].
(1 Corinthians 15:26) As the last enemy, death is to be brought to nothing.
(Isaiah 35:10) And the very ones redeemed by Jehovah will return and certainly come to Zion with a joyful cry; and rejoicing to time indefinite will be upon their head. To exultation and rejoicing they will attain, and grief and sighing must flee away.
(Isaiah 65:19) And I will be joyful in Jerusalem and exult in my people; and no more will there be heard in her the sound of weeping or the sound of a plaintive cry.”
(Revelation 3:7) But by the same word the heavens and the earth that are now are stored up for fire and are being reserved to the day of judgment and of destruction of the ungodly men.

John writes in 8:32 "YOU will know the truth, and the truth will set YOU free." and in 17:3 "This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God, and of the one whom you sent forth, Jesus Christ."

If you want to prepare yourself for the new system you will need to do personal study. Passionately pray to God for guidance and help and he will open a way for you.
