Do you still want to multiply the population of mankind ?

Side note: Here is a link, Here is what links you to this in one of the links about how the British Protestants did not like the Irish Catholics and thought that they were a stone age, Backward culture. Sound familiar........ ?..............

• The British Helped the Irish Starve During the Potato Famine
• This abhorrent view goes back a long way and is shared by many, which is why somebody can verbalize it without feeling ashamed. Two people in particular deserve the most blame for popularizing these beliefs, Thomas Malthus and Paul Ehrlich.
• Famously, Malthus is the person after whom we have derived the term "Malthusian catastrophe," which refers to out-of-control population growth that results in food shortages and starvation. A lesser known fact is that Malthus was a Protestant (Anglican) minister who didn't think too highly of Irish Catholics. The British, in general, weren't fond of the Irish. At best, they were perceived as a backward, Stone Age culture; at worst, as subhuman.

My Irish Catholic relatives left Ireland at that time and relocated to Holland.  Things were no better there so they moved to the USA.  One hundred eighty years later or so, I became a non-denominational Christian.  God works in mysterious ways.

Nowadays the population has doubled

God has a plan for each and everyone of them to redeem and restore this world to God's plan and purpose.

My latest act of multiplication. No regrets.

I see the plight in that many people tend to be in cities often through no choice of their own. They are in oppressive political systems that make land ownership and home ownership very difficult. Even those who manage to buy a home will pay far too much for it and spend their entire lives paying for it. This is fast happening here in the US, actually has been on this trend for awhile now. The very transaction itself costs a LOT of money with all of the fees and taxes involved.

People feel pinched. They feel stuck. It would seem the governments both local and main, are creating an environment that does not favor the common man or woman.

When God told Adam and Eve to be fruitful and multiply it wasn't just parcels of land called cities. This is a large part of the problem. If people were to spread out more, there would be plenty of land for everyone, but so many people want to live in cities because they think they need what they offer. The UN seems to be pushing everyone into cities and apartments. The 'working class' as Biden referred to us is being forced into a corner in the US.

People become connected to their area because their family lives there or they feel trapped there because their government has travel restrictions. Living on a small very populated island like Indonesia would be a good example for a person to maybe take steps to relocate for those able to do so.  A similar fate is happening all across the globe with poor nations and people who figured it would be better to take chances on an old boat and risk drowning than to live in the conditions they face daily. This is a man created problem.

It is still possible to live in crowded conditions and have enough. God will provide regardless. If relocating is a choice, then why not get out of there? While many Jews were killed in the Nazi holocaust, there were also escape routes many of them found to get out of the country. Same thing happened here in the Southern US when slavery was rampant, there was a secret network of people who helped them migrate to the north.

A person in this or a similar situation only has a few choices. In every case prayer and the Lord's leadership are required.Either agree to stay and make the best of the situation or make plans to leave either the general area or the country. Better as compared to somewhere else is mostly a relative term since there really is no best this side of heaven. Whatever you do don't come to the US. Things are getting ready to get bad here.

In my heavily Amish populated area big families are a blessing. For anyone who owns a farm it's an eventual built in work force. The problem is people have children and don't care for them or their future.

There are solutions to all of these problems that do not include any form of population control. I don't see any of it letting up any time soon. The best the government can offer is a form of socialism which has NEVER really worked and has constantly been unfair. Probably the biggest mistake made is to look at a government for support in the first place WE support them. Not the other way around. I've been paying into Social Security for about 45 years. What does the government do? They raise the ages to be eligible  and lower the monthly payout. They want you pretty much dead before you get the full amount because you won't live long enough to take as much money. Not to mention they robbed social security fund multiple times. The whole COVID thing worked in their favor. Not enough money in the SS fund ???, yeah you killed 7 million babies that would have been working and paying into the system. Murder has a way of catching up to you. SS probably won't exist in the future or if it does it won't be anything like it is now. 

Sorry I don't have the answers other than to say this isn't our kingdom, thank God. I can't wait for God to be in total control.

U.S. TOTAL ABORTIONS SINCE 1973: 62,502,904

That is a lot of US citizens not paying into Social Security.

Exactly, where will people live n where will they plant food if more n more people are flooding the same piece of soil in our nations ?

Some nations have vast tracts of land that are unpopulated (or very sparsely populated).  People don't have to stay where they are...

Those are illegal immigrants.  The legal variety are fine.
