spiritually speaking, is it ok that every 4 seconds a child dies from poverty?

How many of the worlds problems arise because of some form of inequality?

I'm not having a go at anybody, just asking.

Update:

There is nothing natural about poverty.

In a world of plenty, where the top 10% consume around 60% of the worlds resource's, this shouldn't be.

    My concern is for the prosperous nations that are socially and technologically developed, even beyond the stages of manufacturing. If they cannot figure themselves out, how can they help the rest of the world, such as those you mention that die in poverty.

    I'm not saying one would automatically take care of the other, but to truly love and respect one's self is to love and respect others as well.

    What do you mean by "is it okay"?

    I think yes, it's okay, because this is natural - those children live in environments where poverty prevents them from living like other children, so there's nothing strange about this.

    Is it a good thing that people try to reduce child poverty? - Yes. The less children die the better.

    Is it a concern for everyone that children are dying of poverty? - No. People should do their best if they want to - You don't have to feel guilty for other people's fate, but helping is out is good.

    The God Yahweh would be glad to help these people and put an end to their suffering if only they would let Him. All these people have to do is stop living the way they are living and stop worshiping the false gods they are worshiping and start worshiping Yahweh and start living their lives based on Yahweh's same Mosaic Laws that He wrote out and established for the Israelites at the time of Moses. Yahweh wrote these laws for the human race so we could establish the most perfected, healthy, safe and prosperous societies a human could live in. Those societies that refuse to follow Yahweh's Mosaic Laws will suffer much more than those who are smart enough to follow them. Simple as that people.

    At least they go to heaven and don't have to worry about suffering in this world anymore.

    Why does everything talk like the world is such a wonderful place to live in?

    It's the circle of life. Sorry, but it's going to happen in the human species. Always has and always will.

    Just proves even more that we live in a real existence, without magical sky friends.

    It is the way of Satan; he's to blame for all this.

    Every child will have everlasting life in Christ Yeshua.

    Does not matter if it is ok or not- that is the way it is. And maybe God is waiting on YOU to do something about that!
