Meanwhile, I would like to hear the prepper’s defense of their amassing supplies/food for years and years because of a belief in some doomsday scenario when the Lord asks them about how they used their resources and time and talent for Him (”but, Lord, I was busy building up my stash...of course so I could help others out dontcha know...and be righteous in my own eyes).
I don’t buy this hero stuff. Preppers are prepping for themselves. If they happen to feel magnanimous, maybe some will feed others, but me thinks not so much.
If there’s a major earthquake and power, transportation is out for at least 30 days and a neighbor knowing that he lives in an earthquake zone has prepared what does he owe people like you who don’t? Should he plan on carrying every ‘grasshopper in the neighborhood? And here’s another thing the fact that you didn’t prepare means you are going to be demanding resources from the relief team where-as the neighbor who prepared is providing for his own needs. You meanwhile because you haven’t prepared are taking resources that should be for those who truly need them.
I ask you again what’s easier tell your children and loved ones why you prepared or explaining to them why you didn’t.
You are a freeloader and a leech. You don’t prepare yourself, but you expect others to provide for you from what they have laid aside or you demand scarce resources that should be going to those truely in need.
You are a freeloader and leech thinking it the responsiblity of those who do prepare to carry you or the government to come to your rescue.
“But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.” 1 Timothy 5:8 (KJV)
In the house of the wise are stores of choice food and oil, but a foolish man devours all he has. Proverbs 21:20
“A prudent person foresees danger and takes precautions. The simpleton goes blindly on and suffers the consequences.” Proverbs 27:12 (NLT)
Here you go. Here’s a good example of a neighbor who doesn’t prepare, but expects you to share, because it’s the Christian thing to do.
You’re going to deny it again,
but you’ve stated once more that you believe that
preparing for long term privation situations is somehow
evil.
Own up to it if you’re going to argue it.
Don’t wimp out around the edges.
And if you’re using the bible as your authority as I do,
give us some scripture stating that it’s sinful
to make provision for your family.
I can give you a boatload to refute you.
Seriously, you sound like one of the crabs in the bucket,
not really wanting to climb out, but willing to pull others down who are trying.
That's why I had the ham radio going yesterday during the tornados here, generator prepped, and made visits to all my neighbors 30 minutes before the sirens went off (some are elderly) to warn them.
America was built by people that stored food for bad times. If ever required. It will be rebuilt by people that have the wisdom to store food and learn skills.

How did God feel about Daniel storing 7 years of grain?
Your answer is that we shouldn’t store food to provide for our families because the Lord would think thats an improper use of the resources He gave us?
So? How can you possibly help anyone when you are dead from starvation or an act of violence? The Lord’s work? You shouldn’t take his name in vain.
G-d bless the child who’s got his own.
You ever hear of Noah?

I would like to year your defense of amassing money for years and years because of a belief that some day you'll be too old to work when the Lord asks you how you used their resources and time and talent for Him.
I guess that in all of your Bible “reading” you skipped over Jesus’ parable of the 10 Virgins, their lamps and the wedding feast.
“If I am not for myself, then who will be for me”
