Your point on the environment triggered another verse to come to mind....In the moral world God is the most important thing. The Jews were given the Law, and gentiles, when they do the things written in the Law, not having the Law, show the Law written in their hearts.
As for the three things you posted -
molestation is/has been going on in churches - I say "churches" because there is the occasional story of it going on in different denominations and not just the Catholic church. Paul wrote that grievous wolves would come, not sparing the flock, but did we really understand how grievous those wolves could be?
Social justice - there are churches, from what I've been reading, that have shifted their focus to social justice. Helping the poor and needy is one thing, having open borders is another.
As for the environment, I, personally, am surprised that so many people don't seem to believe that God controls the weather. I remember reading somewhere once and these scriptures were brought up because the person didn't think God had treasures, or depositories, of snow -
Job 38:22-23 Hast thou entered into the treasures of the snow? or hast thou seen the treasures of the hail, (23) Which I have reserved against the time of trouble, against the day of battle and war?
Where are those treasures of snow? Wouldn't it be the same place where God has vengeance and recompense?
Deu 32:34 Is not this laid up in store with me, and sealed up among my treasures?
In His heart, mind, being, ability?
Just my two cents.

Revelation 11:18
And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.
Isn't their doings on earth disruptive of nature?Destroy the earth through environmental issues, or by their doings?
Genesis 6:11-13
Isaiah 24:5
So you think God is going to destroy them because they destroyed the environment?Isn't their doings on earth disruptive of nature?
How else do you figure "destroy them that destroy the earth" means?So you think God is going to destroy them because they destroyed the environment?
I think it's about people committing abominations. Abominations defile the land. For example:How else do you figure "destroy them that destroy the earth" means?
So you are not upset about the destruction of statutes, even if they are not doing it for a godly reason?I think it's about people committing abominations. Abominations defile the land. For example:
Leviticus 18
Would you clarify what you mean?So you are not upset about the destruction of statutes, even if they are not doing it for a godly reason?
Your verse is about about images worshipped. The statutes being destroyed by various factions across the world have in a roundabout way removed venerated images.Would you clarify what you mean?
I think I must need a cup of coffee because you are getting me confused, Visionary.Your verse is about about images worshipped. The statutes being destroyed by various factions across the world have in a roundabout way removed venerated images.
