And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. Genesis 1:28
"The material creation is neither divine nor eternal.
ancestry is not animal but divine through adoption. And that God made the earth for man, not vice-versa.
"The material creation is neither divine nor eternal.
1) It is not sacred.
2) Not of intrinsic value – nor in unity with mankind in any spiritual sense. Science gives no support for such ideas. Christ and the Bible teach that fallen man is a creature of God whose
ancestry is not animal but divine through adoption. And that God made the earth for man, not vice-versa.
3) Creation will not collapse due to civilization, in spite of current Climate Change paranoia. It will be destroyed by God Himself at His Second Coming, to make way for its recreation as the Earth made new.
4) The Earth was not created for our kinship. God has called us to a relationship with Himself, and other people. Let us share the Everlasting Gospel with as many people as possible."
