I received my tax bill which I can pay in half payments ,which is still a burden. but God intervened for me and the first payment God provided through a bonus from my old job I retired from 3 years ago, that just about covered it.
Now the second is due and God intervened again from a different direction with a belated christmas present from my brothers father in law. he knows nothing of my situation .
This is not the only time God as done things like this for me, I am so blessed.
"Praise God" from whom all blessings flow.
Oh yes, God helped you pay your bills. I guess he forgot about all those starving kids, huh? Must feel great that God would rather help you pay your taxes that help all those starving children......

Absolutely staggering old fruit!! You must be pretty 'well in' with that old god chap for him to do that wonderful thing for you....whilst allowing so many to die of hunger and disease. Lucky you.

And what did you do today to help those starving kids? Must feel great that you could help but you decide to heckle God and others.

I donate money to several charities worldwide, Eusie. I donate what I can, which at the moment isn't as much as I would like to. So I do help. What does your God do?


Oh wait.... sorry, I forgot that you think God let's those kids die slowly and painfully for the good of the world or some such nonsense...

It does. Wonder why God loves all us first world folks so much better than those who need his help more? I mean, who knew that God cared so much for arleigh, that he would help him make his tax payments, while apparently not giving a rat's behind about those starving little kids.

I know! I mean, any one with half a brain cell would question it but I suppose that the Christian fundy just doesn't have the minimum half requirement.

Since God uses human intermediaries to do His bidding, He used you to help feed these poor children.

It would never end with people like you who are anti-God. God cures this ailment then you would say God is awful because He didn't help this group. So He cures every disease, every pain, every hangnail ahead of His plan to satisfy the haters. And then what? Well the haters would demand that all consequences of sin be removed. Wanna go out and have sex with multiple partners? Well God is EVIL if He allows you to get a STD.

That is the nature of a sinner. The more you get the, more you want. Next, you will demand that God give you God like powers and allow the sinners to have their own paradise. And even then you won't be satisfied.

By yes in this lifetime, those who given their hearts to God and developed a personal relationship then He will attend to their unique personal needs. Those who reject Him, He will not violate their free will.
