SDA Issues: Sheeple of the World?

"Why are we as a church so quick to engage in activities that have nothing to do with the salvation of souls?

If global elitists demand urgent action to combat climate change, the church also repeats those calls as well.

If Pope Francis calls the world to promote his ecological opinions (Laudato Si’), there we go again, actively participating in trying to save Mother Earth.

---There is no doctrine in the Bible about the environment other than worshiping the Creator on the day that commemorates His creation – the Seventh-day Sabbath (Exodus 20:8-11).
---There is no biblical model for energy or climate policies.
---There is only one policy for Christians when it comes to our planet, and our problem is sin.

Both the “earth” (planet) and the works that are therein (lawlessness) will come to an end.
The priorities for God’s people must be found in His truth and morals (Three Angels’ Message).
The souls of men and women must be sanctified by God’s word (John 17:17); not by worldly political policies.
Healing comes from hearing and obeying God’s word (James 1:22); not by embracing false gods.

Q: Why would anyone replace our faith with the false hopes of a utopia here on earth?"

The earth mourneth and fadeth away, the world languisheth and fadeth away, the haughty people of the earth do languish.
The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant. Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth … The earth shall reel (wobble) to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again. Isaiah 24:4-6, 20
