The news was published by the Roman Catholic dioceses and by the secular media and they both mention by name some of the other “associations, movements, companies, parish groups, religious communities, exponents of other religions who in recent years have been involved in various ways on the issue of the environment” that would also be in attendance, namely the “Orthodox, Adventist and Muslim communities.”
The news reports also mention that a “Laudato Si’ exhibition” would be on display commemorating Pope Francis’ encyclical on climate change, which could also be set up in other churches and parishes. Finally, on Sunday, September 5, 2021, some of the churches would take their intentions of experiencing a true ecological transition to their respective Sunday Masses.
These new climate churches have been stripped of their redemptive work. They no longer have preachers, but climate alarmists who create panic and fear. This new artificial religion on climate cannot help sinners in need of salvation. They no longer even serve the Creator of the universe; now they serve and honor the plants. Jesus has been replaced by environmental activists who now proclaim “climate justice” and Sunday laws.
With no redemption for sinners and no hope for the lost, the religion of climate change offers no solutions for our greatest need – sin. It only preaches depression, anxiety and the fact that we are in the beginning of a mass extinction, unless we act now. And it is tragic that Seventh-day Adventists who are supposed to understand the First Angel’s Message on creation and on the Sabbath are buying into the climate religion that is void of any kind of salvation.
Why would we accept Rome’s belief system that puts our complete trust in humans rather than in the God who created us? The climate religion is the new Mother Earth idolatry of this age. In his letter to the Corinthian church, the apostle Paul gives the following admonition:
“Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry.”1 Corinthians 10:14.
Idolatry is very much alive today. It is only more disguised." AdventMessenger“Thousands deify nature while they deny the God of nature. Though in a different form, idolatry exists in the Christian world today as verily as it existed among ancient Israel in the days of Elijah. The God of many professedly wise men, of philosophers, poets, politicians, journalists—the God of polished fashionable circles, of many colleges and universities, even of some theological institutions—is little better than Baal, the sun-god of Phoenicia” (Great Controversy, p. 583).
