This question was posed at a service I was at once, and it sparked very interesting discussion. I was also a bit shocked by the results. I thought it might make for good conversation here.
AMEN!!!Bad things happen to good people all the time. Why even our saints were martyred, our pope had his life threatened by an apparent assassin. God doesn’t promise a rose garden here on earth, but he promises to remain faithful to those who follow him. Their rewards will not be of this earth but in his heavenly kingdom.
Depends on your definition of “harm.” If you mean the wordly view of harm, then you’re saying that God “owes” you something because of your faithfulness. That’s not the way it works.If we keep the Ten Commandments, should God protect us from harm?

the person who posed the question has a very faulty understanding of the word Covenant as used in the biblical sense. I recommend any of Scott Hahn’s books treating the OT notion of covenant as an antidoteThis question was posed at a service I was at once, and it sparked very interesting discussion. I .
