Dominion & Stewardship

Someone named Jim posted this comment here. I thought it was worth spreading around.

To say that we have carte blanche is incorrect. If we have dominion over His creation, then we are to act as a king would. Who is our role model for king anyway, a tyrant?

Yes! Jesus is our model for a king–and He’s still the King.

The problem is pollution. We need to focus on that. This issue has become more conflicted since climate alarmism became the cause celebre of the Mass media. It used to be that we focused on the facts; smog, measuring estimated pollutants in the air, cleaning up our rivers and waterways etc.

Pollution and waste is what really hurts the poor and damages the environment. There’s lots of room to be concerned about environmental impact and invest in cleaner, more efficient ways to do things without getting caught up in the ‘climate change’ movement.

Global warming hysteria has blurred our focus instead of strengthening our resolve. GW is simply the result of radicalizing, politicizing and emotionalizing (that a word?) something we should all be united on together – and were, prior to GW.

I think God gave us dominion so we could grow and populate the earth, while showing respect for Him by not wantonly wasting His creation.
