The Environment
The Bible commands us to take care of the earth and all of his creation. God has entrusted us with this responsibility and in so many ways we have failed. We support government action and personal action to care for our planet and to protect and treat animals humanely and respectfully.
Scriptural references…
Genesis 1:26 (Amplified Bible)
God said, let us [father, son, and holy spirit] make mankind in our image, after our likeness, and let them have complete authority over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, the [tame] beasts, and over all of the earth, and over everything that creeps upon the earth.
Proverbs 12:10
A righteous man cares for the needs of his animal, but the kindest acts of the wicked are cruel.
What we support…
1.”Green” technology and jobs
2. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions
3. Protecting our forests, national parks and arctic regions worldwide
4. Humane treatment of animals, national animal rights ethics code that is stronger, and funding for better systems of animal control, adoption and tighter regulation on the meat and other industries for humane treatment.
