When Christians say grace do they ever think to ask Jesus why he feeds the

[alien]

gluttonous and starves the poor?
Tybee......People who think as you should have been born in Africa.
Children of the world "do not" choose where they are born.
It's all pot luck my friend.

 

[Tybee]

No, but I do make sure every day to thank him for allowing me to be born in a country where rules apply and resources are not stolen by the few heads of "state." I thank him that I live in a country where the infrastructure allows me to have been educated and capitalism allows vast production of food and other products. I thank him that I live in a country where I have enough to be generous to others.

Thank you God for civilization and not anarchy.

edit: I do not think children choose to be born where they are. That is a reincarnation theory, not a Christian one. But I am here and I am grateful and I make that point. And why are those poor children suffering anyway? Not because of God, but always, ALWAYS, because of man. Humans came from Africa, they've been around the longest and have resources. They should have the most wonderful countries yet conceived, but they suffer continually.

no because they're in the comfort of their homes stuffing their fa @sses cosidering themselves holy and when they see a hobo in the streets they say god bless but dont give them a penny to get some food.

and if people are being punished for their sins you tell me what sin a newborn baby has commited for him to have a deadly disease or die from hunger

Jesus said in his word to feed and help the poor. Obviously He cares.

 

[NoChanceWithoutJesus]

You think God controls that huh? Okay so you are a believer in God

 

[fireball]

[SilasJayne]

and why pray to god for that nasty, artery clogging cheeseburger made by some sweaty 16 year old who surely didn't wash his hands after taking a smelly dump in the bathroom before making said burger.

there is enough on this earth to feed everyone

 

[IMeverywhereUwant2B]

1st John 5:19--We know we originate with God, but the whole world is lying in the [power of the] wicked one.



Jesus isn't the one feeding the gluttonous, nor is He starving the poor. Neither is Jehovah (God's name according to Psalms 83:18 King James Version).

Satan and humans are currently in control of this world.

James 2:14-17--Of what benefit is it, my brothers, if a certain one says he has faith but he does not have works? That faith cannot save him, can it? 15)*If a brother or a sister is in a naked state and lacking the food sufficient for the day, 16)*yet a certain one of YOU says to them: “Go in peace, keep warm and well fed,” but YOU do not give them the necessities for [their] body, of what benefit is it? 17*Thus, too, faith, if it does not have works, is dead in itself.



For now, Jesus' followers on Earth are commanded to provide for their brothers and sisters in need. And when the time comes, there will be plenty for everyone. Technically, there already is enough for everyone--food production has increased 30% from 1970, when it was already more than enough to feed everyone on Earth. Greed prevented human governments and corporations from providing that food to the needy, simply because the poor could not afford to pay for it. That problem remains the same now.

But soon, God's Kingdom will bring enough for everyone.

Isaiah 65:21-24--And they will certainly build houses and have occupancy; and they will certainly plant vineyards and eat [their] fruitage. 22)*They will not build and someone else have occupancy; they will not plant and someone else do the eating. For like the days of a tree will the days of my people be; and the work of their own hands my chosen ones will use to the full. 23)*They will not toil for nothing, nor will they bring to birth for disturbance; because they are the offspring made up of the blessed ones of Jehovah, and their descendants with them. 24)*And it will actually occur that before they call out I myself shall answer; while they are yet speaking, I myself shall hear.

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.”
