Yankee,

If I may add, which I probably should have included in my previous reply,
1 John 1:5 (KJV) "This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all."

Genesis 18:25 (ASV) "That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked, that so the righteous should be as the wicked; that be far from thee: shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?"

Job 8:3 (KJV) "Doth God pervert judgment? or doth the Almighty pervert justice?"

Job 37:23 (KJV) "[Touching] the Almighty, we cannot find him out: [he is] excellent in power, and in judgment, and in plenty of justice: he will not afflict."

Psalms 89:14 (KJV) "Justice and judgment [are] the habitation of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face."
The God of heaven never does anything "bad" to anyone, i.e., that everything the Lord does and says is righteous. Any affliction which anyone experiences is due to the Fall and they being partakers of it. The man born blind, who by God's providence, suffered with that affliction not due to any personal or particular sin, could not find fault with God. For even then, it was for God's ultimate glory and that man's "good" that this was decreed. Even the damnation of the wicked is an expression of God's goodness (this may be something you have never considered?) and of His inexorable holiness. Once an individual begins to comprehend the goodness of God, even while the world is crashing down around and upon him, he will lift up his voice and declare with the patriarch Job:
Job 13:15 (KJV) "Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him."
In His Grace,
