Bible Question (short): Who does really God care about |
Question (full): I would like to ask you a question about something that has dramatically shaken my faith. So far I had understood that God was the protector of the fatherless and was concerned with the hungry. But I've seen these pictures of African children, adolescents and older dying in their skin and bones by hunger litery withering. Well, after that, the only thing I could think of is that God in fact doesn't hear the cry of the oppressed and hungry and that they die mercilessly with no energy to utter any cry any longer. As a matter of fact, this is not new as you can check on the following verses where God didn’t intervene either: NAS Judges 19:25 But the men would not listen to him, so the man seized his concubine and brought her out to them. And they raped her and abused her all night until morning, then let her go at the approach of dawn. NAS Judges 19:27 When her master arose in the morning and opened the doors of the house and went out to go on his way, then behold, his concubine was lying at the doorway of the house, with her hands on the threshold. Judges 19:28-29 28 And he said to her, "Get up and let us go," but there was no answer. Then he placed her on the donkey; and the man arose and went to his home. 29 When he entered his house, he took a knife and laid hold of his concubine and cut her in twelve pieces, limb by limb, and sent her throughout the territory of Israel. My question: If God doesn't attend these, why would he hear me or you? Why pray? Thank you, |
