1 | Why does God allow world hunger? | Luke 12:24 | Jesusfriend | 237029 | ||
Your answer was the best that you could give on this subject. God has allowed satan to have power over man as a test, read Job. In Luke 10:18 we read: "And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven." and another verse in Revelation 12:7 "And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,...12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time." Read the whole chapter of Revelation 12. The dragon is satan and the woman is the church good and bad. God cast satan to earth and gave him power as evidenced by the book of Job. Whether God "allows" world hunger is quite a stretch for me. He allowed the devil to come to earth to tempt man in order that man might be made stronger in Christ as we pray for strength to overcome the wiles of the foe. So I believe the devil is doing all he can to win souls for his kingdom too, including world hunger. AAMOF God doesn't allow these things, sin causes them. |

2 | What about the promise? | Luke 12:24 | nathanbgerman | 237041 | ||
Good answers everybody, but I'm still confused about something here. It's not just the fact that world hunger is an issue that confuses me. I can understand that this is just one of the effects of a sinful world. What bothers me though is the promise Jesus makes in Luke 12:24. It almost seems to me like Jesus isn't doing what he promised. | ||||||
3 | What about the promise? | Luke 12:24 | DocTrinsograce | 237042 | ||
Hi, Nathan... To rightly interpret a passage, you must use the fundamentals. You are reading this scripture as though Christ is speaking to all humans everywhere. Now look up just two verses: Who is Christ addressing? In Him, Doc "I have been young and now I am old, Yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken Or his descendants begging bread." (Psalms 37:25 NASB) |
