Why Does God Not Solve World Hunger?

[GrayAngel]

If any convert happened,it is because of lack of faith and would prove that it wasnt worthy from the beginning.

God's mercy is great and he is very just especially to the innocents and poor ones who lost their lives before they were supposed to,So of course he'd save many souls.And that's why I'm telling you that you cant judge God because you know nothing about him and how he does good through the evil etc. and know nothing about souls - eternal life, how god judges in the afterlife ... Just like Job who was attacking God all the time and who was blaming god for what happened to him ignoring the good God was going to bring him behind the trouble and pain caused.

I was with you until you starting talking about Job. Job didn't attack God. The point of the story is that Satan made a bet with God that he could get Job to curse God, but after all that had been taken from him, Job never did curse God. His faith remained strong, which is why God rewarded him with double of everything he lost. The fact that they would join the religion responsible for the attack is amazing to me.

You're right about the Islamic converts, however. These people were not saved in the first place, so it doesn't make much of a difference whether they became atheists or Muslims. The ones who were saved, however, would not have been saved if it hadn't have been for the tragedy that softened their hearts and got them asking questions.

Overseas, sometimes natural disasters open doors for Christians to come in where they're otherwise unwelcome. And when they see that the largest effort to bring aid is coming from the Christian community, that really strengthens our witness.

Islamic converts are people who either are leaving Christianity for Islam, or are going from atheist to Muslim. These people could have been saved, but were lost to Islam due to 9/11.

And when they see that the largest effort to bring aid is coming from the Christian community, that really strengthens our witness.

Do you honestly read into anything before making statements? FEMA is a government agency (secular), and the American Red Cross is a secular organization.

Christians have their own organizations that provide aid yes, but don't try and say that they provide the "largest effort". This is a false statement among many other false statements you've made.

Please learn to fact check.

I know the story and I didnt mean that job attacked God by cursing or insutling,but he attacked God in lesser way,by pointing that God doesnt seem very good and that he (job) is holier than God ...

Because they werent christians from the 1st place.(True christians)
There are 2 billion christians in the world now,but most are christians by name who got baptized when they were children and dont even believe in God (countless of them never read the bible or went to church or prayed),so I wouldnt be surprised if such thing happened,so no christians were lost because they werent christians anyways.

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?

I am sure we should be very very thankful for NOT withdrawing His "Rizk"
i.e ......one of those among the food we make...Has he withdrawn that from where will be able to ask for such provisions.

to answer your question...simply.......why then He is addressed as "GOD" ?
and that is the Gods way...he does whatever He wills. and not blindly but Knowing the Past Present and the Future.

tks

If we assume that the nature of God is love (and only love), then it may surprise us that God doesn't do anything to help people. But since God is also wrathful, it stands to reason that he may not mind punishing people every now and then.
