What Does the Bible Say About Caring for the Environment?

Hey, have you heard? The polar ice caps are melting, we're all going to drown! Oh, God already said he wasn't going to do that again.

But the consumer -driven church still gets sucked into phony environmentalism, which has been branded

Creation Care. Zondervan has published The Green Bible, which teaches us how creation cares for us.

That's panentheism. The foreword was written by an Anglican priest who says there are parts of the Bible we need to ignore.

So did Zondervan remove those parts from their Bible? Rick Warren, along with 100 evangelical leaders and 40

Christian college presidents called for federal legislation to reduce CO2 emissions because that's loving your neighbor.

And with God's help, we can stop global warming for our kids, our world, and for the Lord. God is the one who cursed creation.

He subjected all things to futility because of the sinfulness of man. But the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption and obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God at the return of Jesus.

God has a plan for the fullness of time to unite all things in Christ, things in heaven and on earth.

He will wipe away every tear and death shall be no more. But you cannot reverse the effects of creation's decline.

Who can straighten what God has made crooked? God told us to have dominion over all creation, to fill the earth and subdue it.

Now that includes treasuring our resources and respecting all living creatures. There are verses about that. But the only global warming the world needs to be concerned about is the fire of God being stored up for the

Day of Judgment and the destruction of the ungodly. Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand when we understand the text.
