Yes, I agree pretty much with the assessment of a preacher I heard not long ago who said Christians ought to be on the band wagon and big leaders of protecting the environment responsibly. But we must also not be associated with the "manicism" that seems to characterize the extreme left movement that dominates media and pop culture.
Does it seem strange to you that the very people who preach "survival of the fittest" and evolution are also the ones who are bemoaning and shoving down our throats global warming? If one buys into the concept of evolution then what is...is. And if the human race makes the world unfit for our survival we will either adapt or go the way of the dodo bird and some other species that could survive will dominate.
While I do believe (as said above) we should be responsible and I have tried to take notice and even change some habits to help in that regard. I also keep in mind that this ole earth is headed to a preordained end and however the Lord has determined that end will come, our using less plastics or more plastics will not affect that date a smiggin.
Acts 17:30-31 "The times of ignorance God overlooked, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent, because he has fixed a day on which he will judge the world in righteousness by a man whom he has appointed; and of this he has given assurance to all by raising him from the dead."
2 Peter 3:10-12 "But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up. Therefore, since all these things will be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness, looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be dissolved, being on fire, and the elements will melt with fervent heat?"
I figure HE'S got it all in control!

Your thought of no major change is also found in Matthew 24:38 For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark,
When the world ends, it will be business as usual.

Amen! I am tired of the global warning frenzy. I agree with Limbaugh. He thinks that people who push it have made the earth their god. 2 Pet. 3 does teach global warming, not the kind the leftists want to hear about!
I agree with you. I certainly do not want to destroy the earth, but my major mission in life is not to fight for every environmental idea out there.
The interesting thing to me about global warming has always been the fact that the end result of global warming is a melting of the polar icecaps and a worldwide flood. But my Bible says that God will never allow that to happen again, so global warming must be false. I believe in taking care of all the blessings we have been given, inlcuding the natural resouces of the earth, but not because we fear some dire result if we do not.
I like this post. Very good points.
