I created this thread already and had only gotten a couple replies from other Christians before the mods locked it. I PM'd both mods asking if any rules had been broken and why the thread was closed, neither gave an answer. Unless I'm breaking any rules I don't know about, I thought we were starting to get into a really good conversation and I'd like to continue it. Below is the post.
Recent numbers put 750,000 people at risk for death due to famine in Somalia alone. Famine is a perpetual and inherited problem, children are born into a world with no food, either die or grow up in the poor world and have children that will either die from starvation or repeat the cycle of their parents.
In all of God's infinite love, wisdom, and willingness to act in the world to make it better (as stories in the Bible tell us), why does he not snap his fingers and create a food source for these innocent starving children? For instance he could make the land fertile and blossom with fruit trees.
If you have the power to do anything, I see no just reason to watch millions of your creation die a slow and painful death over something that is 100% out of their control. Why doesn't God help us?
If you had the power to snap your fingers and feed the millions of suffering/starving people all over the world, would you?
