A good friend of mine asked this question, "Why do God always take the good people away?" As we were talking about the loved ones who have died in our lives. i wish i had been ready to be able to reply and respond and more so adequately but alas i was suddenly stubbed and could not respond and quickly or generally. the question has loomed over my mind since but i cannot come to a conclusion or have a general overview. i think this is one of the most important question in and about life and about death after life. And i don't want to leave her hanging or left out or left ignominiously. i would like to say to her that i had asked the Faith i am in and more particularly the traditional faith to which she may benefit, as would i, perhaps become more prepared if such an extremely common, so laid back and colloquial within society, or is a question so colloquially asked so commonly. i think it would benefit the both of us, share a unique perspective out of this particular religion, or more-so generally out of all established Religions.
what do you guys think?

Nobody is good , all pretenders.

This crazy question always reminds me of a news report I read some years ago about a man who killed his mother and father as a teenager and ended up incarcerated for his crime. After some years, the man managed to escape from prison, made his way to California where he eventually got married, had one child and later on abandoned his wife and child to flee overseas. He landed somewhere in Australia where he then went on to remarry and have other children. To his Australian children, he was the best example of a human their could ever be. Eventually, the man died without his family ever knowing his roots or meeting any of jos relatives from back in America.

Anyway, one of his Australian children had the idea to do an Ancestry test to try to find their dad's relative. And what that did was literally flag the authorities back in the U.S who had been looking for the man for all those may years as to the whereabouts of the man. Long story short, the poor kids learned, in the end, that their good father had a very terrible past, a child he abandoned back in the U.S, and relatives not so keen to has much to do with them all of because of how wonderful a human their good father had been. 🥱🥱

Death comes to all irrespective of your morality. What should matter is your stand with God. The plan of God for us is to live forever and the plan is not going to be on this present earth. Love unto the Lord so you can die unto the Lord. That's the only guarantee to the eternal life God promises.

Dictionary defined the word GOOD as *Acting in the interest of what is beneficial, ethical, or moral.
*Well behaved.
According to the Bible God doesn't see any human as GOOD! Psalms 14:3
This is because we humans only does what we think is right when it's convenient for us but when we are under pressure 99.9% of humans will kill their God's given conscience just to have their way.
Hence Jesus of Nazareth who also spoke as a human said no one is good except God. Luke 18:19

But then what has God found in some humans before declaring them RIGHTEOUS?

There is this spiritual compass God built in humans it's called "conscience" it works by one common rule which says:
"whatever you want other to do to you do the same to them" Matthew 7:12
So when pagans live by this golden rule God view them as those keeping His laws in their hearts {Romans 2:14-15} therefore even though they are no part of His righteous servants He will bring them back to life during the resurrection of His faithful worshipers! Act 24:15
Now to answer your question!
Anyone that lives by conscience is making himself or herself God's friend therefore God doesn't want such ones to be tempted into loosing their God's given compass due to the injustices the world is promoting that is why most of them don't last. Genesis 5:24
God is keeping them safe in their graves until He establish sanity on planet earth then they will have a fair chance to prove their love for God?
