No, nothing will cure poverty.
And if you think Christianity provides capitalism with a morality, thank God (no pun intended), as capitalism without morality would be a nightmare.

You are mixing politics and religion . No, Christianity will never cure poverty on this earth. But in heaven we are promised more than we could imagine. Odd question ? Where did you get the idea that the purpose was to cure poverty ?

Christianity, in itself, will not cure poverty.
It is the PEOPLE who will cure poverty.
Christianity serves as a guide for people to help and look out for each other.
It will only be possible to cure this never ending poverty, if people could stop looking at their silver coated mirrors and learn to look outside their glass windows.
Christianity teaches that loving yourself means that you must also love those who are less fortunate than you are.
A person's character lies on, not how he treats his equals, but how he treats those who are lesser than he is.

Poverty was cured only once in human history, and that was at the time of the great Muslim Caliph Omar Ibn Abd-Alazeez, when no single citizen (including Christians and Jews) was needy and none accept charity or government aid because every citizen was in good financial status. At that time the Muslim state spread from India in the east to Morocco in the west.

Many Christians every day do all that they can to serve the poor and needy, for they feel that is exactly what Jesus taught us to do.
Unfortunately, as you seem to be implying, many Christians choose to not pay much attention to the many passages in the Bible encouraging us to commit ourselves to caring for others less fortunate.
There is a growing movement in the church to remind Christians that serving others is an essential part of following Christ's message. If Christians (and others) fully commit themselves to battling poverty and disease, there would be major improvements.
peace

No religion will 'cure' poverty. Only people with the strong desire to help each other, which is a very rare feeling in this day and age, will be able to effectively help mankind. There is no organization or group on the planet that I know of that is capable of curing any of the worlds ailments.

Why do you just settle for what this world has to offer you and have no dreams past earthly life? God has a mansion with many rooms in it, for those who accept His son Jesus as their savior, and follow His laws There are riches for everyone there that is for us to keep. There is no hunger there, no sickness, no poverty, no hatered, no evil. This is guaranteed by God.
We are all just passing through this world, as we prepare for the one God is setting up for those who want to live with Him and His son Jesus. Make plans for your future with God through Jesus, and He will take care of the rest.

keep this line of logic and questioning going!
I say some religions promote simplicity on one hand but the teachers of it often do not practice it and become richer with the followers buying into it and trusting them to be good stewards...
the classic Robert Tilton ploy
I feel god is calling out a 1000 dollar blessing.... if you send in 100 dollars, right now, I guarantee the Lord will bless it 10 fold...sometime in the future you will get your money back
give to get
all beggars teach you should give

Christianity means nothing-it's heading down the plughole. The question should be will the capitalist liberal democracies cure poverty.
