over-population??? ( just wondering... )

<< < (2/3) > >>

Dave in Tenn:
What kind of response is expected?  That I am 100% in favor of over-population?   ???

I am actually 100% in favor of population, though I've done nothing to contribute to it except be born. 

Does over-population exist?  Aren't there sometimes too many people somewhere?  I reckon 'it' doesn't exist, except where 'it' does. 

 

Abednego:
My wife's cousin and husband worked for the State Department and spent a while in Hong Kong. I've always heard about the population, but it was cool to hear stories and see pictures from ground level. That's the kind of stuff you won't see in the paper or National Geographic.

Sorry for off topic, just wanted to share that.  I know Ray mentioned in one of his papers that God decides where you live.  God never ceases to amaze me.

Yes, more people leads to more social-control and over-organization. And that kind of eviroment makes it more

dificult for people to exercise independent thinking.

Hi Dave,
Thanks for giving a review to that quote. It sure will be helpfull to know if that quote can be taken serious. The reason I posted it was because it would add somewhat perspective to the thread.

This time I am not expecting any specific response, I am just bringing a subject for opening conversation and see what good we can take from it. I think this is an interesting subject for the times we live at.

Popular wisdom sometimes try to tell us that there is way too many people as if certain groups of people should have never been born, or don't deserve to be at certain places on earth. I just thought it might be good, time to time, to give this issues a second thought and see things for what they are.

I am with you Dave, a 100% in favor of population, after all, Jesus died for all and agapao them ALL.

Joel:
Genesis 1:28-And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth , and subdue it:
I reckon God is, and always has been in charge of his creation.
He took care of those that were at the tower of Babel, and sent them packing to different areas of the world.
He brought judgment on those alive during the time of the flood.
I don't recall a chapter and verse where God discusses planned parent hood. Though he did close and open some wombs that are recorded.
I think overcrowding probably is a relative subject.

Joel
