Nope

That's correct. Its just a part of the pie chart of the unsaved who really believe they are but are not.

Since salvation hinges on the belief of Jesus alone, it doesn't influence any quality there. There is no "afterlife" in death so what will it influence there?

less deadly huh? Interesting I guess you never heard about the wages of sin? (any of them, many more than 7) Virtues don't save us either.

So the rest aren't deadly? Or just "less" deadly?

Having been physically there and seen it over several countries mainly in the 90's, its not complex. Most of this "poverty" is created and imposed by the acts of man- not because of people not having money. So, tell me your "plan" to deal with the issues at the source and how you plan to...

Not at all, the food may not be there (infrastructure), it may be confiscated by a local warlord or the government. It can be because the region itself cannot sustain itself. None of those real world causes will be solved with a SNAP card or a $5 spot. No, you gave holistic generalities. I...

Really you need to specifically define what happy is (and isn't) and even then possibly differentiate between it and things like 'content" or even "satisfied" for this to be answered. People have different perceptions and definitions of "happy"

That was not an answer I want you to tell me exactly and precisely "who" these "rich" are and what exactly is the defining standard of "rich" is in terms of a financial statement. ( total assets, net worth, available cash etc.) ( Even under Moses- most people were exempt from tithing) OK...

Scripture doesn't "define" it so neither can I other than they are above the physical laws of the lower part of creation. Depends on how you define "divine" because angels are "gods" in the sense that they are above and not subject to the laws of physics in this universe and a few other...

No, sorry, you didnt

In the context I used it just time filling fodder waiting for the main card to begin

OK, in principle and "philosophically" I agree with the content and essence of this post completely and without reservation. Definitely utopia. Now to sprinkle a little reality sauce on it. Who is going to determine these basic needs ( and whatever infrastructure is required to support it)...

In the most literal sense, we are all "poor" to some degree but its a meaningless metric. And those "rewards" are merit based and not all of them "good' rewards. In many cases, this "poverty" is the REWARD for the actions (or inactions) that put them there. Put all of that in proper context...

I suggest working on that imagination- there is no "equity" or equal distribution with Jesus. See Matthew 16:27; Romans 2:6; Revelation 2:23; 2 Cor. 5:10 and more

What it translates as is a "state" of being "lacking" (inadequate) in things that drive the "spirit" (essence) of man. That's up to the individual situation as to what the specific thing is. It has nothing to do with any financial or material situation. Jesus never preached (or physically did)...

You didn't "cover" as in any significance, definition, depth or remedy- "mentioning" isn't covering. No it wont. Please explain how it would? Even better, then explain the resulting fallout to the rest of the economic model should one be implemented. Do you have even a fundamental...

agree 100% and that's the "poor" scripture mainly addresses but that's not the primary subject of this thread

There is no "responsibility" for us to eradicate poverty or anything else. "Poor" is a very nebulous term more often used as an emotional heartstring rather than a specific condition with qualifications and causes ( which dictate specific remedies) But first we need to define poverty in 2...

I suppose so, you were thoroughly shut down here. Cya over there
