Part 2 - The Environment

Part 2 - The Environment By: Rev. Lynwood F. Mundy Read Scripture: Genesis 1:26-30 Would God treat the environment like He charged Adam to treat it? The answer is empathetically, no. Then why is man treating the environment with such dis-concernment? The answer is founded in: “1 Timothy 6:10 (KJV 1900) 10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.” In looking to todays Scripture, we find that God placed man in charge over all living things: Genesis 1:26 (KJV 1900) says,” 26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.” One would ask, “How does that Scripture have anything too do with the environment?” In taking a closer look, the answer can be founded: Every living being and thing needs clean oxygen and water to survive! Without them there is no life. Man is then committing a sin that kills humans, fishes, birds, cattle’s and anything that is living on and in the water in the earth. Conclusion Until man stops the love for money to save the environment, death of what God commanded him to be in charge of will not exist as was created. Many animals, insects and fishes have become extinct by pollution, over hunting and deleting trees as history has told us. Job 14:1-6 would be good for man to know when it comes to life; it can be used as I am writing to you for the advocacy for environmental issues versus money. Biblically, Job is not talking about the environment. This writing and its interpretation to the environment is given by the Holy Spirit of God. So please do not misquote me in this interpretation as being biblically from the stand point of Job 14:1-6. © MMXI Daily, Weekend and Holiday Internet to the World Ministry
