Does God want men to choose easy options ?

[peter2]

The earth will be destroyed (2 Pe 3:11), not mankind destroyed by the earth.

Okay. . .Dan 4:35 (God's absolute power is asolutely just), Dt 28:63, Ps 115:3, 135:6, Isa 46:10-11, Ac 2:23, 4:28, Eph 1:11.

Deeply sorry.
i fail to see any link but tenuous with what you wrote in the scriptures you mention

That's not our call. . .God gets to call that. . .and if we are the source of its destruction, then that was God's call.

A deeper look might be beneficial.

What kind of energy does God want people to use so as to feed, clothe, or build themselves a roof where to live underneath ?

Would Jesus today choose to stay a carpenter, only using his own muscles of arms and own neurones of brain ?
Or would he choose easy options with petrol, electricity, etc.., even if polluting ?

Let's remind he resisted temptation (of easy option) to make stone become bread, even if probably not polluting

Jesus likely didn't look either for his disciples' affection through the gift of fossil fuel energy, the breakthrough of an oil deposit. Neither did he teach petrol extraction. If he did, it seems it's was not valuable enough to be written in the Gospel

Do you think, please, i go astray thinking quest for petrol, or any polluting energy, is a wordly quest that bears false testimony as regards christianism ?

The best solution to saving the Earth and stop exploiting its beauty is to head to the stars. There are thousands of people (if given a realistic chance) who would love to live on the Moon, Mars, or one of the moons of Jupiter or Saturn. You've got asteroid belt just screaming natural resources. Pack your bags, Ethel, we're going to the Moon.

I kind of agree with you that progress has made things easier for mankind but at the same time damaged our planet trying to get the materials needed to make things easier. And one of the worse things man has created was the personalized means of transportation - the car. The most inefficient way to travel. If only the train, subway, trolley were given more of a chance to develop we wouldn't have had this pollution, overuse of natural resources and traffic nightmares that we have today. The bicycle was one of the greatest invention - it kept you healthy and it got you places.

Hello Hvizsgyak,
i just fear the exploiting planets, a moon, asteroids would cost far more global warming with the burning fuel of transports in shuttles, the burning extra natural resources from there, on earth.
And I think that before we consider exporting our thirst for these materials and our culture “to the Martians,” it would be wise to learn to “subdue the Earth,” that is, for humanity to set limits for itself, so that this culture does not also spread our addictive thirst

It's like what they teach their children to do when they ask them to tidy their rooms before considering another activity elsewhere in the house.
Likewise, should we not learn to tidy the Earth before thinking of another activity elsewhere in solar system ?

Thank you for this. I also kind of agree with me

Yes, sure. i have an information for you (hope you 're not an ia, or someone behind an ia): i am studying the conception of an ergonomic tricycle for gardening and the leisuring, on all sorts of slopes. If i succeed in its realization, the tricycle could chart a course through vegetation, or gardening on various slopes, just pedaling in a straight position (ergonomy), going for a stroll on these courses, or gardening. After CAD, i'm just starting the model for the project.
