Climate Change …… and Food
There is a wisdom of the world That is so opposed to the word and wisdom of God.
This is a topic that kind of makes me laugh everytime it comes up in the news.The latest Was the NATO’s spokesman for climate change declaring that the end is nigh. Well not quite that but, more or less if the world’s governments do not do what they say we need to do, now! There is no hope for the world. The world as we know it will be destroyed by messed up weather systems, rising sea levels. Excess Co2 levels will cause this.
Then they say that Co2 levels are way higher than they should be, even though the world is doing things to reduce the amount that is pumped into the atmosphere. How about if everyone stopped breathing for 1 minute of each day, would that help, but no seriously! Apparently there are enough trees on one island to cope with the Co2 emissions that the world pumps out.
The bible does not seem to talk directly about climate change. One thing that I do recognise is something that Jesus calls the birth pangs of the great tribulation.He mentions famines and earthquakes. Famines are usually associated with droughts. Jesu said there will be famines. Earthquakes can be a cause of rising sea levels and also affect the weather patterns of the earth along with some volcano eruptions. Not forgetting the wars. Let’s stop the wars!
For nation will rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; there will be earthquakes in various places; there will also be famines. These things are merely the beginning of birth pangs. Mark 13:8 NASB1995
Nobody in the science world will talk about any of these things with regard to changing climate. The truth is that the climate has been changing since the flood of Noah’s time. The so-called Ice age was a result of the flood, and many volcano’s erupting at the same time. Causing so much gas in the atmosphere that the sun was blocked out from a part of the earth. The earth has spent time warming and cooling for about the last 4000 years since the flood, and it was all due to sin in the world.
We cannot stop the forests catching fire which accounts for an enormous amount of Co2 released into the atmosphere, Which anyhow is a part of how our planet works. THEY will tell us that there are more forest fire because of global warming, but that is just lies. The amazing thing about forest fires is how the next year something always grows back. I watched David Attenborough in the Green Planet programme say that if there were no fires in some places some plants would not exist, they would not grow.
Also there are more volcanoes erupting now than we have ever seen recorded in history. These also release enormous amounts of Co2 into the earth’s atmosphere. Something else that we cannot really do anything to reduce. The truth is that our earth is a living organism. One which man can never kill or destroy. We were told to bring the earth under our subordination or subjection.
God blessed them; and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” Genesis 1:28
Actually Where do they get the number from to be able to state that This is how much Co2 in the atmosphere that the world can cope with? That if we keep on with more than this amount, will not destroy our planet. Science is and never has been a precise process. Really for this subject science is more like intellectual guess work.
Normally science is a series of experiments used to find knowledge, but not the knowledge of God.though sometimes science does prove the knowledge of God. Whether the world of science acknowledges this or not. Science does influence political correctness to a great extent, especially in the aspect of climate change. We are told to, ‘follow the science.’ A phase that has become synonymous with the Covid pandemic. That is a whole new story!
If you have died with Christ to the elementary principles of the world, why, as if you were living in the world, do you submit yourself to decrees, such as, “Do not handle, do not taste, do not touch!” (which all refer to things destined to perish with use)—in accordance with the commandments and teachings of men? Colossians 2:20-22
Do not submit yourself to decrees, such as, “do not burn coal, do not use oil, do not drive petrol cars. Apparently man is causing so much Co2 that we have to do all we can to stop doing so. Impossible. Next thing we know the world government will be telling us that every woman is only allowed one child each. The kind of rules that had been in China for decades. Are these doctrines of demons?
But the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons, by means of the hypocrisy of liars seared in their own conscience as with a branding iron, men who forbid marriage and advocate abstaining from foods which God has created to be gratefully shared in by those who believe and know the truth. For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with gratitude; for it is sanctified by means of the word of God and prayer. 1 Timothy 4:1-5
See this says that even Christians will fall prey to these doctrines, though it goes on to say that everything that has been created is to be gratefully received. God created everything for man’s use and comfort, sanctified by the word of God and prayer. The biggest, greatest form of prayer is praise, thanksgiving. The world is talking about trying to stop rearing cattle for food, to help reduce Co2. So by eating beef we are adding to the world’s demise.
According to this scripture, advocating vegetarianism is a doctrine of demons. That is so politically incorrect. I have not heard of one christian leader standing up for what God’s word says about this. Why? Because it is politically incorrect. God’s people do not see some of these truths. I am not against being vegetarian, but the whole thing has gone too far. Yes everyone has the right to choose, but most people have chosen to be vegetarian through false information.
When I was young I did not like the taste of meat in general, but I never considered becoming a vegetarian. I liked sausages! Later I taught myself to like proper meat, as the thing I did not like the taste of was the fat. I still cut off the excess fat from my steak before I put it into my mouth. God says that we are allowed to eat meat, all meat, including Pork.
Every moving thing that is alive shall be food for you; I give all to you, as I gave the green plant. Genesis 9:3
I have to admit that there are some of these food sources I do not like, such as seafood. Some things I do not like because of the way they are prepared, or the amount of spices used. But generally I am a happy meat eater. It is my choice of course, but I do not choose according to the advice or wisdom of the world, or political correctness.
