Dear God, instead of boasting about how you magically fed 5000 people 2000 years ago, why not end poverty now?

    What are YOU doing about it?

    He DID tell everyone to do something about it. Are you just willing to allow others to die so you might have "proof" you demand that you would ultimately attribute to something else anyway?

    Soon, God is going to turn this earth into a Paradise. Among the many benefits that He will bring to mankind will be the permanent removal of the economic load that weighs so many down. This will be done by means of a superior form of government, God's Kingdom.

    Isaiah 65:21,22 says, " they will certainly build houses and have occupancy; and they will certainly plant vineyards and eat their own fruitage. They will not build and someone else has occupancy; they will not plant and someone else do the eating... The work of their own hands my chosen ones will use to the full"

    Psalms 9:12 says, " God is sure not to forget the outcry of the afflicted ones"

    Please read Psalms 72:12-14 and Matthew 6:33

    God is going to do something about the poverty and suffering that we see today. He will also put an end to crime and violence. Even death will be brought to an end.

    Not exactly sure how you come to the conclusion that it's boasting.

    Even if you read it as a story, there is no boasting. If I missed it, perhaps you can point out the verses. If it happens to be true, it's still just a retelling of events.

    Your predisposed attitude regarding the event tells us more about you than it does about God.

    And, comparing a single event to ending a condition that exists because of the greediness of man is ridiculous. But, then, reading your contributions to the forum, that's no big surprise.

    I see it hasn't stopped the other trained seal atheists from "arf arf"ing in response.

    Don't forget to give them some fish.

    Why should God do it, when WE can?? Seriously, why do we blame every problem on God? Should we also blame God for racism, when individual people just CHOOSE to be racist? We have more than the means and the knowledge to end poverty globally, several times over. We just choose not to.

    The story is NOT about G*D, but a man that did not actually exist.

    Today's poverty is NOT due to a lack of food, but governments controlling the people and greed. Millions of pounds of food rots because governments refuse to distribute it to their people.

    Now HE sends Christians with food and medical help and water via organizations like Samaritan's Purse, Operation Blessing, Hand of Help and other organizations operated by Christians and financed by Christians. He showed us what to do and we are doing it as best we can. If you want to help as well, I'm sure you can find a way to do so.

    Like Jesus and the Saints, why don't you do some sacrifices and offer them up for the poor.

    You can fast on bread and water, skip junk food, not eat meat, and/or give some money to the poor or charities.

    His soup kitchen ran out of food.

    God and or gods do not exist.

    They are figments of the imagination.

    Jesus was setting an example for the work GOD wants us to do.

    Dear Cooley: I showed the human race the compassion they should have and the actions they should take. Quit asking me to do everything for you, and follow the example I gave through my Son, Jesus Christ. This ball's in your court. Love, God.
