God blesses the just and unjust. We all get air to breathe. We all get the sun and the rain. We get life. Some he gives a good income to. Some he gives a good country to. Some he gives success to. It's not like everything is given only to his peeps.
Matt. 5:44 But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.
If he gives blessings and we're supposed to love, I don't see the problem.
The only problem I see is when we say "God bless you" when that's not where our heart is. Kind of mocks God.

Why would a believer say to another believer " God bless you " when in ephesians God says that he hath blessed us with ALL spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ. I find it offensive to say that, it's like God forgot to give you a blessing when he said that he hath blessed us with ALL spiritual blessings...God did not forget. In Romans when it says bless, and curse not it is not saying "God bless you" it is saying let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouthas in Ephesians.

Utah, don't remember if I thanked you for earlier blessings and encouragement, so thank you now for earlier blessings and encouragement!

That's the moment of existence I dream of and prayer for with all my heart, mind and soul.
Its the greatest moment of all existence, and it happens to last for all eternity.

The Lord HATH blessed me with ALL spiritual blessings IN CHRIST. so you see,it shows ignorance of the scriptures to tell someone God bless you, as if God forgot to add a blessing when he clearly says ALL. Why dont you be a real blessing to the lost and preach the Gospel found in Romans 1-4(3:24-26)?
I like it when strangers say God Bless You..it's kinda like the code that lets you know they're a believer in the face of an adverse world where even Merry Christmas offends...Like this one time I was driving out on the highway and saw a sign at a little old farm house that advertised fresh boysenberries...so I stopped at the gate and an old gentleman came out and asked if he could help me...I told him I would like to buy some berries...so after I pay him for several boxes worth he says "God Bless You" ...I smiled and told him back "God Bless You too" he seemed taken back for a minute that such a young whipper snapper repeated the farewell...we exchanged small talk for a minute more then I left...well the next day when I took the berries out of the fridge most of them had mold on them...and I was like...*confused
