There's been a few threads on this issue lately but I figured I'd pile on.

I don't see how being a Christian and an environmentalist are ever in conflict.  It's very apparent that it is mankind's responsibility to be stewards of the earth and all it's inhabitants.

However, believing that the sky is falling is not particularly Christian; it's simply being a rube.

None-the-less, I hope Rev. Ball is bringing his message of Christian environmentalism to places like China, India and Russia where environmental disasters are state sanctioned.  If he's only concentrating on the US and US lawmakers, he'd better be able to state why God's environmental covenant only applies to us.

 

By the way, here is the real site for What Would Jesus Drive?!

"Obviously, God drives a Plymouth, because, "Hell hath no Fury. . .""

If all these bleeding heart liberal "Evangelicals" would spend as much effort at spreading the Gospel as they do with this nonsense, they would reap a much better reward.

Money wasted on environmental concerns while mens souls are dying.

A minister is convinced that human actions can undo what God hath wrought. Hillarious.

Hey, it beats offending someone by preaching the Gospel, doesn't it? (No, it doesn't).

Why do I get the feeling that these "evangelicals" have hijacked the term, and actually spend very little time spreading the Gospel?

I was going to ask why he didn't just pray hard on it.

As the poster stated, we should be good stewards of the earth but that does not mean running around half-cocked about something beyond our influence or control. He, of all people, should know that.

Conservationism is being a good steward. Environmentalism is a cult.

Well, the National Association of Evangelicals aren't a part of this:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1570114/posts

Looks like the envirowackos managed to peal off a few of the evanglical
leaders to their group.
Probably promised them lots of trips to lots of conferences in
lots of cool places around the globe.

Flying in planes burning TONS of fossil fuels, thus emitting great
gobs of particulates and greenhouse gases.

That would be nice.
I wish I'd copied it, but I did see an article a few years ago about
one source of pollution that is greater than all the operation of all
the vehicles in the USA.
The out-of-control coal fires in China.

And IIRC, the generators used in India to produce electricty are
nasty, nasty, nasty.

If he gets entree' to those places great.
But I suspect China, India, etc. will look at the bottom line and
tell him..."Just stick to the religion thing!"

The real truth is,evangelicals are not really christians!Almost every denomination has trouble with them because they only embrace christianity when it conforms to their deluded "new age" thinking.

Because it is probably true. Sadly.

I have yet to met a Reverend, preacher, etc. that I would trust. To a person they have all been less than trustworthy.

It applies to all environmentalists really.

There's no reason that China, India and other devoloping nations should escape polution restrictions in the Kyoto Treaty.

It's because India and China have told the watermelons (Green on the outside, Red on the inside) to "stick it!"

The real goal is to restrict US productivity down to European levels!

I am an evangelical Christian, and I have no problem stating that the environmental movement is a quasi-pagan and pantheistic cult.

I refuse to worship it.

They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.

Romans 1:25
