Yes as we came into this world we shall go out the same.
Now there was a rich man that begged the Lord to lethim come home with two suitcases when we died here, and God said no several times saying you come back the same as you went into the world. The man kept asking and asking.
Fiinally the lord said okay.
The man went and sold all he owned took up the cross and followed. It came to pass that he passes away and is at the pearly gates. Peter sees him and says you can come in, but those two suitcases can't. The man says go ask God for God said I can.
Peter comes back and says yes God said you can bring those in, but before you do can I see what you brought?
The man opens up both suitcases, and Peter sees they both are filled with Gold brick.
Peter responds with you mean you came all the way here just to bring PAVEMENT.
I know how invaluable money and all the resources of this world is.
Jesus said when he was leaving,
John 14:2
My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you?
Therefore all my treasures are, stored
Matthew 6:19[ Treasures in Heaven ] “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.
Matthew 6:20But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.
Matthew 13:52He said to them, “Therefore every teacher of the law who has become a disciple in the kingdom of heaven is like the owner of a house who brings out of his storeroom new treasures as well as old.”
I know where my home is,
1 Corinthians 3:18Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.
1 Corinthians 3:19For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.
2 Corinthians 1:12For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have had our conversation in the world, and more abundantly to you-ward.
James 2:5Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him?

Only through Christ from and at the cross is all evil taken away one person at a timebeing born again in the resurrected Christ us being born of the Spirit of God and living this way daily. Love god's type not this worlds type has and does diminsh out the enemy. Just like when one turns on a light it overcomes the dark.

I must sat justamazed you are focused on this too much that it can cause deception, please be careful for God told us we will have troubles in this world
[h=3]John 16:33[/h]King James Version (KJV)
[SUP]33 [/SUP]These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
God never said forus to go and fight physically or radically, for this world is passing away, and there are many a people caring for others and we are a donational society, doanting all over the place for this cause andthat one, there are all kinds of things set up to help take care of the needy. Yet not all those in need get help because they just want freebies and do not want to follow any rules, Law breakers need Christ and this is why the Law is still in place for Law breakers, the ones that have come to Christ as their Lord and Savior are no longer Lawbreakers, for the schoolmaster did its job and brough the ones that believe to the Savior Jesus Christ and therefore all my needs are met and always will be, the same is for the rest that dobeleive, yet it takes excercising one's belief before that one can recive anything

There is already group(s) that do what they can in the way of food, clothing and shelter, and there are donations going to this cause all over the place. And I hope for more help to come to them.
So tell us what exactly is your plan? since you are so vexed on it. Are you yourself doing something now about it? Or are you trying to round up an Army on this situation?

And in this day of provocation they never entered his rest
Hebrews 3:18And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not?
Hebrews 4:1Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.
And you are ranting and raving over what is happening today, when what is happening is the result of UNBELIEF.

tell me what is more important? Flesh needs or Spirit needs? How is God worshipped? Do all die 100%of us? Is there any changing this? Does not those that wish to save thier lives lose it? Is God flesh or Spirit? Even though he came in the flesh but was raised in what?
How did Jesus come to do what? To give us what? does the flesh still die no matter what?
Whjere is God's kingdom at?

And this worlds problems will never be solved, no matter which way it is sliced, diced or cubed, a new earth is coming, and I personally trust God for it all to work out the way God sees fit not you, you or anyone else
But thank you for your way to do things adamently, careful though that you yourself is not hindering the way of God
