Will God curse us for not helping the needy when we have the ability to help?

Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers. \n \nGalatians 6:10 \nNew International Version

ok,we can do nothing apart from God,Jesus said actually commanded us to love one another,however we cannot do this without Gods help,as for intercessory prayers that is when you feel led by the Holy Spirit to pray for someone other than yourself

Think of it this way, just as someone says "Bless you" they are asking God to bless you.  If they say, "Curse you", they are asking God to curse you. They, in them-selves. have little power but faith. \n\nThat being said, "God's will be done". Are they cursing you for a righteous reason or a selfish reason? Even still, it's up to God whether or not you deserve what a curse or blessing.\n\nIn the end, sooner or later we all get what we deserve. I doubt those curses will come, sounds selfish to me. "love thy neighbor"

Absolutely!\n\nJesus said, "apart from me you can do nothing." (John 15:5) once realizing this I know that I must depend on God all day every day or else I'll fall. In order to do this you must be willing to sacrifice YOUR will for HIS will and there inlays the passage, "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me." (Matthew 16:24)

Yes we are to blame, whether you believe in God or not, we still have the capacity to make decisions, and depending on the answers we give, the solutions we use, or the actions we take. Our contributions either have a positive effect or negative effect on others. The Bible (Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth) gives us guidlines that show us how to help and care for one another. Again whether one believes in God or not, we know that murder is wrong, we know that stealing is wrong, we know that doing these things will cause someone to suffer. So if we know these things will cause someone else to suffer and we still do them how can we blame God? Especially if you don't believe in him?

Love him and pray for him. But there are times you will have to leave him and move on and trust the lord to take care of him and place him in his hands.God is able to do all things.We can not depend on our self to get the job done.The Lord cares even more than we do. So I would just sort of speak, cast your care on the Lord. Or he will bring you down also. Love in Christ.

That is very true. I think we are to make an effort. ZIn order to do right we must pray for help. Hunans will mess up but we need to ask God to help. There is no way without God's help you wil love your enimies as yourselves or hold true to convictions.

Yes, I do give food and clothing to the poor and needy...I don't believe in god...but I also don't believe in letting people starve....I do object though to organizations that I have given money to--repeatedly mailing me and asking for more money( I feel as if the money I gave all went to paper and postage); and I feel insulted when they say that they will pray for me. I don't want that.

Yes - those people are the one's that need the most prayer!  We can only combat the problem by praying and being nice to them:)

It is a documented fact that Christians give more to charities and help those who struggle than any other group.  How many atheists or agnostic groups do you see out there sending help in the form of money or physically being there.\n\nYou are such a hypocrite.  Why don't you stop complaining about how you aren't in a financial position to help or that you wish you could go to Africa and help.  If you really care, get up off of your a$$ and do something about it.  Stop hiding behind your excuses.\n\nNo, instead you just sit up in the gallery spewing out your condemnations on the very people who are the ones doing what you don't have the guts to do.  How pathetic.

God can't intervene.  If god intervenes he cannot judge us as he has directly altered our experience placing himself at fault and if anyone after that be damned he himself shall be damned.

Yes, that is an interesting way of putting things.  God brings us through difficulties in order that we may know Him more and have more of His character worked in us.  Our afflictions, which are but for a moment, work for us a far, far greater weight of eternal glory (2 Corinthians 4:17)!!!

I am not a bible scholar, but having been born with depression I cannot tell you how frustrating it is when people try to tell me that I choose to be this way. It is not free will! Society may aggravate it, but it did not create it. \nWhereas it is well known that bad things happen to good people & innocent children & that it is God that allows such things to happen---& that it the most difficult question. Why does God allow suffering? Is it really supposed to make us better people? But that is a whole new debate in itself...

If I had the means to help someone, I would.  If not, and I saw someone in need, I would pray to God for direction on how to help someone in need.
