why there is suffering and why I think Jesus said that ask and you will receive? why I think Jesus said that God cares about us and not be anxious for tomorrow? why I think He said that birds are being fed by God and that He will feed us but still there is hunger issues in the world and so much suffering?

Actually, God put in place the only system man needs for food, covering and shelter but man decided to take it and make it profitable. So now everything from nourishment, shelter, cover and health is at the mercy of the self interest of man rather than the will of God. We reap what we sow, and are oppressed by those we let oppress us.

I am always reminded of a documentary I saw on the second WW where fighting was going on and the birds were minding their own business going about eating and building nests. One species did the will of God, the other the will of man.

True and "God helps those who help themselves".
:) Jack.. wheres that written again?

We live in a fallen world. What we see is what happens when God is taken out of the picture. The world alone reacts to sin. God told/warned Israel if you do the same sins as those other nations the earth will spit you out also. Sin.. the price for sin is death in this world. Everything is dying. Yet if sin had never touched it.. it would never die. God can only create life.

See if we truly believed God can never lie.. faith would be so easy. For then every problem.. we would go to His word and know that what ever He said will happen. I don't need anything for He supplies all of my needs. Where ever I go.. I will be blessed when I go in and blessed when I go out. "“Blessed shall you be when you come in, and blessed shall you be when you go out." did he mean what was written? Or was it just some man that wrote it? Faith.

Again.. suffering.. this is what happens when we listen and gave in to a lie. Where Satan told Christ "this was given/handed to me and I can give to anyone I want". If I play by the worlds rules.. all kind of bad things can happen. But I listen have ears to hear what the spirit is saying what is written.. repent of sins walk with as Christ did. To die daily to self so that all can see Christ in me..on and on. God then has the right to do things in my life. If I sin and sin.. then I get the other side... anyway.. sorry

It may help to read about how our Creator has plans of turning the world into a utopia by around the year 2185, two centuries from the near death experience of former Atheist Howard Storm.


Howard Storm's Near-Death Experience

The image of the future that they gave me then, and it was their image, not one that I created, surprised me. My image had previously been sort of like Star Wars, where everything was space age, plastics, and technology.



The future that they showed me was almost no technology at all. What everybody, absolutely everybody, in this euphoric future spent most of their time doing was raising children. The chief concern of people was children, and everybody considered children to be the most precious commodity in the world.



And when a person became an adult, there was no sense of anxiety, nor hatred, nor competition.



There was this enormous sense of trust and mutual respect. If a person, in this view of the future, became disturbed, then the community of people all cared about the disturbed person falling away from the harmony of the group. Spiritually, through prayer and love, the others would elevate the afflicted person.



What people did with the rest of their time was that they gardened, with almost no physical effort. They showed me that plants, with prayer, would produce huge fruits and vegetables.



People, in unison, could control the climate of the planet through prayer. Everybody would work with mutual trust and the people would call the rain, when needed, and the sun to shine.



Animals lived with people, in harmony. (Howard Storm, near-death .com)

What he was shown fits with many scriptures in the Bible.

Isaiah 11

And the wolf shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them.

7 And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together; and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.

8 And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the adder's den.

9 They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain; for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of Jehovah, as the waters cover the sea.
