We read in Genesis God said,"Be fruitfull and multiply , and fill the Earth." I disagree with God there, and question something about that.Did God not foresee how OVERcrowded the world would become these days,with every one in everyone elses way, and competition for everything?Breeding like cockroaches isn't the answer.All it does is create overcrowded conditions.While you quote that statement from God, let me ask you, do you like waiting in a traffic jam at rush hour because "everyone else" is doing the same thing at the same time?Do you suppose someone stuck on the L.A. Freeway at rush hour likes that statement God made about multiplying?Or the New York subway at rush hour, people falling all over each other?Do you know in China, I heard they almost looked for a war to quell the population explosion,and they also limit a certain amount of kids per family.I, personally hate crowds and resent that I have competition from others because of overcrowded conditions.So how do you reconcile Gods statement about being fruitful and multiplying with some poor soul being "crowded out"by the population explosion?But of course, if you don't mind, then go take a ride on the L.A. freeway at rush hour or ride the New York subway at rush hour and tell me it's enjoyable.As for me, I still hate crowded conditions, despite that statement by God.

Why would God say that?

Because the blood will run over from all of those who do not love Christ enough to do what he says, and scripture says that there will be a lot of blood. You need a lot of people to do what Revelations says. And all scripture will be fulfilled.
God is sending people to this world to let them know that Jesus is alive and well and that He is the only Way to enter heaven. All we have to do is to share the Lord with everyone we see around. Obey the voice of the Lord. I will make you fishers of men and women. So, the overcrowed world needs the Lord and we must continue to obey the Lords command. Go ye therefore into all nations and preach, teach and admonish. Jesus is coming soon and we shall give an account of what we did for Him. Are you sharing the Lord with the crowds you see?

No some of it is in a traffic jam, and the traffic could start moving again, it would be hard to get out of the car and knock on car windows a few thousand feet up to witness and then the traffic starts moving!!
Jesus loves all drivers. I know there is a lot of speeders, drunks, road ragers all over the place and those who love to drive so slow that makes people so angry. Fast and pray for them. They have problems getting to work on time and they get so frustrated when the traffic jam comes along, specially on construction sites. Hit and run, workers are getting killed by drivers who disregard the forty mile stretch. Please, ask Jesus to save their souls. All of them are lost souls that need the Lord. While waiting for others to go through the jam, you continue to pray for them. Jesus will hear from heaven and more wide roads with plenty space will be built around our house. O God, please, save the souls of all drivers we see at the traffic jam. In Jesus name. Amen

Not to mention when they lay on the horn 1/2 second after the light changes.
Gods purpose for us to be here on earth is to honor Him, to glorify His name and to share Jesus with everyone we see around. If too many people are crowding your way, stop and pray for them. Ask Jesus to bring all of them to church and give their life to the Lord. He will hear from heaven and everyone you prayed for, will get saved.

You have to read the whole verse to know what God intended, Steven — God wanted man, as His image or copy, Xerox so to speak — a copy should look like the original. In that way He wanted us to be fruitful and multiply, to fill the earth and subdue it (in the right way). That means government, leaders and city planners should have wisdom from God to design cities and systems that efficiently transport people — some large cities have no problem transporting people effectively during rush hours. President Trump stated we need to rebuild our infrastructure and so we will be doing in the coming years — so as long as cities don’t steal the money (not God’s image, not subduing the earth as intended), there will be improvements in transportation. Ultimately God wants the most people in heaven possible, so the earth’s population will continue to increase until all have heard the gospel, then we will start having decrease during the last 7 years before Christ defeats Antichrist with speed and finality. We will then have 1000 years to rebuild everything after those that have destroyed the earth are defeated. Then a “parole” for the devil, another final defeat, then The New Heaven and The New Earth.

In Genesis,after God created Adam,and before Eve was created,God stated, "It's not good for the man to be alone."Now the question is,by God stating,"It's not good for THE man to be alone",was He referring to just Adam,in his current situation, or it meant everybody?Because if He meant...
Why would God bless women with babies that he knows a going to have an abortion? I have been raging for a baby for years yet women who don't want a baby can get pregnant and they kill the baby. I don't understand at all.
