Hang on I know the answer god works in mysterious ways or who are we to question the lord. I say we are!!! Because we want answers, to the fact he hasn't been seen since his story was told a long time ago, come on people it was a great story but really is he busy having lunch with santa or something?

You go scotty boy!
A little thing like ending the starvation in Africa would go a long way in getting my attention. Instead we're supposed to believe stories of miracles and watch people die while they tell us he has a plan ... horse sh*t

There isn't a shortage of resources in the world today. We have plenty of money and food so that no one should have to go hungry. Why are some still starving then? I would call it greed and misplaced priorities. In the USA where sports heroes and celebrities are paid millions, where we have scandals like Enron, not to mention all the political fraud and wasted tax money,,,, how is it you blame Jesus for hunger in Africa? Why should He step in and take care of this problem when we sit by complacent and growing fatter everyday? How much money do you contribute monthly to feed the poor?

Jesus is all around us. It is the people of this world who have forsaken Jesus and not the other way around. They do not have faith in Him or have accepted Him as their savior. He does not respond on command like a dog in obedience school.
Jesus does answer prayers of those who accept Him as their savior.
Satan may be able to harm the bodies of a Christian, but he can;t touch their soul. Praise the Lord!!!

He hasn't appeared in Africa yet because He hasn't returned. And those people suffer because of man, not because of God.

Don't forget that He lived in Africa (Egypt) for a short while when He was a young child.

Before he ascended into heaven , he commanded his disciples to carry on his work, and do what he did. what you are seeing is not the failure of jesus, who set the example... but christians and other "good people" who have been neglectful.

NOW i remember...He said "feed my sheep" and 'whatever you do for the least of these, you do for Me...the starving, the homeless, the sick, the oppressed, the suffering...He left them for US to take care of...it's about time we start following His instructions...

He has shown his face in Africa.
Those who believe in him have seen him.
Go ask them.
