Do you believe that God always provides for those that pursue the kingdom?

I knew an extremely ugly woman at my old church who made minimum wage working for a charity organization and she always had friends and respect and boyfriends and is now married to the man of her dreams with multiple kids. I also know girls who looked gorgeous and made excellent money that did not do charity work and they took around a decade to find a boyfriend after trying very hard and wearing heels for ten years.

Yes

No

I want this to be true, but look at all the excellent people throughout history dying hideous deaths at the hands of absolute monsters who nevertheless slept like babies every night and lived long lives of luxury, eventually dying in their sleep.

100%

According to the Bible it would seem so.

I got the man of my dreams by praying for him.

Plenty of religious people suffer misfortune. Plenty of non-religious people live prosperous, happy lives.

Not those who are Christians

@woman_2004 Christians die every day in every possible way. Many died from Covid infections they contracted at church. Most of a church choir near here died after they contracted Covid at choir practice. We’re they the wrong kind of Christian?

[Freyke]

@woman_2004 Hm, I would love to hear your answer on this too, honestly.

[slatyb]

@woman_2004 And what about the people who died in the Mayfield, Kentucky tornado last year? I expect they were mostly Christian. Why do tornadoes do so much damage in places that are almost entirely Christian, instead of falling on the coastal non-believers?

Misfortune mostly falls on the poor, who tend to be more religious than the wealthy.

Yes. God always provides but we don't always receive. Just like there's always a TV signal but we only see it when we tune in

[Adronicus]

No, I do not. I think god scourges those he loves best in order to better prepare them.

[Freyke]

I believe he would provide to not just those who pursue but those who live a good life.

that even the elect would be deceived and you are one of them

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

I believe it varies among people
