How Does Environmentalism Relate To Heaven? NT Wright on 100 Huntley Street (HD)

(HD) Transcript: "Its like an engagement, vis-a-vis a marriage that you dont say, well one day were married so it doesnt matter if I abuse you, or rude to you ...no youre building something now which will receive its fruition then. Its like if someones learning a language before they go live in the country where they speak that language. Theres no point in saying, well Ill figure it out when I get there. No you learn the language now, so that you will be at home then. Thats how it works."

@SuperPatriotMom Green is not 'the new red'; environmentalism and communism are not synonymous. Case in point: Richard Alley - a geologist who is a Republican and a practising Christian, but also advocates an effective response to climate change. He points out that, not only is it necessary to embrace renewable energy, it would bring substantial benefits - far from impoverishing America, it would create many new jobs. I highly recommend his documentary, 'Earth: the Operator's Manual', to you.

I wonder how inciteful you are regarding "environmental policy" in England.Environmentalism is being used to take away "private property"with the excuse of "saving the environment". Kind of like what is going on here in the U.S. now. The EPA is shutting down small businesses due to THEIR interpretation of Abuse. When did I say we ARE thriving?I stated that a resource such as oil would ALLOW our economy to thrive. But of course we are only "Users, not producers" right?

@SuperPatriotMom The point he's making is not that we shouldn't use the resources that God has provided for us, but that we should be good stewards of creation not ABUSING the resources. And if you honestly think the majority of the world and even American is "thriving" you are mistaken.

So again, pretty sure you missed the point, that or you just don't care about the rest of the world or creation.

[SuperPatriotMom]

@themange59 Maybe you did'nt "Understand" the point!

@SuperPatriotMom

I'm pretty sure you missed the point.

[SuperPatriotMom]

Ok, so noone has jobs in your country due to "Greening" it. Now in the U.S. Green is now the new red (Communism).. God created a resource such as oil for us. Does he not want us to use it and thrive? Of course he does...

@nubbs 3 That's a person expressing his own attitudes. As are all the psalms.

The psalms are prayers. Are all prayers holy? No.

according to darklink0112, "Rejoicing in the downfall of the enemies of God is permitted in Psalm 58."

any other christians agree with this? or do they, as christians, believe in loving your enemies?

ps. does telling someone to "mind their own business" count as a "rebuking"? LOL
