Unbelievable But True!

The world spent $1735 billion on war in 2012. It would take approximately $135 billion to totally eradicate poverty. So why don't the world's leaders come together to refocus its investments and vision? In a word...'GREED'! Share if you agree.
 
Respectfully Sir, I cannot agree with you!
If, as you suggest that every living being on this planet be given a large sum of money, you would have eradicated poverty for that one day, but by the end of a short time you would have people who would be totally poverty stricken again, and would have arisen greed and avarice in millions more. Throwing money at a problem, weather in outright gifts or so called improvement programs for more sustainable life styles, has never ever fixed anything in the human condition. All the well meaning but utterly useless efforts of the liberal/ socialist ideologies of the past 100 years have proved that over and over.

Jesus said in Matt 26:11 "For the poor you have with you always" Until men's hearts and minds are changed there will always be people who are poor in worldly goods and people who are poor in spiritual things also. Unfortunately in spite of the best efforts of all of the Evangelists, preachers, teachers. missionary's, laywittness, etc. We as mere humans beings can never never totally change that. Only Jesus can, one heart at a time. By His own words in the parable of the seeds and the sower in the book of Matthew Only 1/4 of those who HEAR the word of God preached, will accept and practice it.

In spite of how badly we as Christians and believer's want to see the failing's, flaws, and outright evil changed in the world, it won't happen until Jesus returns and He sets up His perfect kingdom.
Thank you for listening.

A wise man once said regarding the hungry & needy "Begin by giving them a fish but then teach them how to fish and they in turn will feed themselves."
 
If we contiue to give fish but never teach them how to fish we will eventualy run out of fish and never solve the problem.
 
135 billion we probably already pour into our economy, that's welfare I just went to work to pay for this today.
Many many people abuse this system and are anywhere from second generation welfare recipients to seven generation
recipients. So lets not throw money and reward those who already abuse this sad system, get a job!:ranting:

My Big PawPaw always said that if all the money in the world was divided equally on Friday night--you would have to do it again Monday morning.
 
Hope you like the forum.
God bless
 
I agree Seniorseeker.........we all need to wake up and focus on what is going on in the world rarther than just keep turning a blind eye.We have become a population that attaches so much importance to things that do not really matter in life and if we carry on in this self centered way then we are heading for disaster.So much money is wasted on unimportant things.......money that could be used to help sort out the worlds problems and create a better way of life for those who live in less fortunate circumstances.God help us!
