That was not frustration with the reality of the world and the bible's claims whatsoever. It was a bit of frustration with having to detail to you what I felt was obvious to you.

The Word explains why God doesn't always provide food for those who need it?

Yes! Sin causes lack of blessings.

Of course! And do you agree with what I said? Does the Bible teach that everyone who ever dies of starvation must be an unbeliever? Let's not dance around it! A 'yes' or 'no' would seem to be appropriate, here. Let me make it very plain. Do you agree with the following statement:

Everyone who has ever died of starvation is an unbeliever.

You form questions with loaded words. lol

Hebrews 11 stated that some refused deliverance and chose a better resurrection in various situations. So we cannot say everyone who died so was an unbeliever. Otherwise, yes, God does not allow a believer to starve. Period.

Merry Christmas to you as well!

I interrupt this discussion, again, to wish you a Merry Christmas, too, Mike. And I also want to see what you have to say to Timmy's inquiry. Yes, his question is loaded, but it deserves an answer. So in his absence, (our family thing isn't for another hour), to further try to nail you into the corner, are you saying that every person who has ever died of starvation, that wanted food, was an unbeliever?

If that's your assertion, I'd have trouble with that. Do we then say that very person who died of cancer, who was killed in a car wreck, who was paralyzed.....was an unbeliever?

I would not shoplift. Stealing is a sin. I would rather ask Jesus.
