So what? Lots of people of lots of different faiths can quote from their holy text to show that their particular faith is correct. Your claims are no different to theirs.

They are, actually. Not that the difference would be anything you care about with your current philosophical, conceptual outlook. But Christianity is different.

The One Created the Earth with His own hands and and signed it with His signature. It's well worth listening to what the Earth has to say as it is God speaking to us through His own Creation in how He Creates.
You might be closer to becoming a Christian than you think you are :oldthumbsup:

We're in the Last Days,
the State of the World like everything else is in GODS capable hands,
You can Trust that. :oldthumbsup:

The same philosophy was used by the guy who made the video I linked to in post 284, and he has a PHD in religious studies, and he literally wrote his thesis on this topic as part of his Doctorate of Philosophy. You can see that thesis HERE and download it for free.

Oh great. So, my son is possibly doomed then because he's smarter than me. Awesome. Terrific. Stupendous. Wonderful. :swoon:

If you are not willing to look at our resources, why should we look at yours?

Jesse, welcome to CF!

About resources: the sad fact here on CF is that most folks don't care about each others resources. They just want to know where the money is.

The Earth was placed into our hands. And we aren't doing a very good job taking care of her because we no longer listen to her. She is full of wisdom to teach us of her needs, but we have to be willing to listen. And you guys are making excuses not to. Sad!

No one knows the last days. It's foolish to even go down that route.

Our job is to have God as our reality in life...and learn to become more human as Human Beings. That was the main teaching of Christ. The requirement of both trajectories is LOVE. Love is what needs to be preached far and wide.

Then you can't be a lover of God for it's impossibe to love God and not know him.
It's totally possible to know God and not be a Christian.
Most Christians I run across know about God, but they do not know Him.

Your statements are contradictory. The Earth is not God. Adam and Eve were given dominion over the Earth but that dominion transferred to Christ as the 2nd Adam because no human could obey Gods will perfectly.

Perhaps you should read the bible before trying to tell Christians about Christ's teachings. The other thing about loving God (Jesus) is you don't love him if you don't obey him.

You may believe it, but your not God. So you don't really know. That's why it's foolish to go that route. Your wasting time with it. Just Love God and the people around you.

I agree, but do you follow Christ? (Not his teachings but him)?

"My sheep know my voice and they follow me".

You just have to read the bible and look around at the secular world to see it.

it's plain as Day.

True, the Earth is not God. But God put into the Earth the wisdom needed to take care of her and even how God creates new life forms. That's how God speaks through the Earth. But we don't listen. To make excuses not to is foolish. And the kind of excuses where we place fault of our not listening to the Earth because it was given to Christ is even more foolish.

"IF" Christians actually PREACHED Love, than I might consider becoming a Christian. But they don't. Love may be mentioned, but it's not preached. The Heart of Christ as I experience Him is "Infinite Divine Compassion/Activated". I think that's well worth obeying.

we're not here to cater to the world,
That's GODS department,
he sustains everything including the earth.
nowhere in the NT does the LORD say, Take care of the earth,
The heavenly Father,
GOD Almighty, Does that.

Christians have been seeing the End Times for 2000 years. I've read the Bible and as I look around I see tough times for many, but no more so than in times past.

Time if better spent doing 2 things. Learning to have God as ones absolute reality and learning to be a more human, Human Being.

Because the last 2000 years has been the end times,
but the days we live in are the Last Days,
Theres a bit of a difference.
Being Christ-Like has nothing to do with being human,
It's about Walking in the Spirit, Not the Flesh
The flesh like the world has fallen to sin
