Romans 1:25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
We don't speak about the environment because ... God is in control of the environment. Furthermore, this current earth is being kept in store for the day of judgment against ungodly men. It will be destroyed ...
@FillTheirVoid it will be restored, we are called to take care of the earth, to live in peace, we need to not only live in peace with god, and people but also with our planet.
It will be restored by God after He has destroyed it. I don't find anywhere in the scripture where believers are called upon to help protect the planet. Let the worldly people who trouble themselves with wordly things worry about the world.
It's not worth one moment of a believer's time to help save the whales which will inevitably be destroyed (Revelation 16:3) while people are dying and going to hell.
... and you sir, are illogical. What authority to you possess whereby you are capable of making such a judgment? None ... all you have is an irrelevant opinion. I however, will be judged based upon God's word ... not your feelings.
@FillTheirVoid Jeremiah 2:7 "I brought you into a bountiful country, To eat its fruit and its goodness. But when you entered, you DEFILED My land and made My heritage an abomination."
You are ignorant of biblical terminology and language ...
Leviticus 18:24 (after listing many vile sins) Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you: and the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants.
"and the land is defiled" the defilement is the result of their despicable iniquities ... not because they cut down trees.
@DeadProphetsFate I just clearly and undeniably demonstrated to you how the bible employs this term. It is meant to denote defilement of the land due to the inhabitants iniquities.
Not the cutting down of the precious trees which God gave to them for their own use *weeps*.
I'm not stating that we shouldn't care for God's creation in a responsible manner, but this pagan earth worship is unbiblical nonsense.
@FillTheirVoid I agree with your last statement.. All im stating is that we should care for the Earth..didnt say anything about tree worship..just not to defile the land....using what the land provides is not the definiton of defilement of the land...
The biblical terminology of "defiling the land" undeniably refers to the iniquities of it's inhabitants ... not the destruction or exploitation of natural resources.
Caring for God's creation is one thing, being obsessively preoccupied with it to the exclusion of God is another.
Christians shouldn't be primarily concerned with this earth which is inexorably destined for ruin, but rather the faithful preaching of the Gospel.
@FillTheirVoid Just because its destined to be "ruined" does not mean not to at least try to keep it good. If not for our sake, but for our children. Caring for the Earth also does not conflict with preaching the Gospel..multi tasking is not a problem for most humans.
I certainly agree, however there is a spirit of pagan earth worship involved in much of this activity which entirely excludes God even from consideration.
If I hear "mother earth" one more time I am going to vomit.

Once again this is completely irrelevant and subjective, I am grounded upon the word of the supreme authority over all matters.

That is speaking of their moral conduct.

@FillTheirVoid it blatantly states "defiled My land" if it was dealing with conduct of ones character, LAND being defiled would not have been said.
