Dr. Howard Snyder on how God's salvation plan was always about the relationship between God, persons, and the created order.
I watched this as part of my research for a final paper and I am not disappointed. This is quite insightful and positively provoking. Ironically, I had watched another one of these videos for another class the other day and was not expecting to find the same organization as I research for this class. Also, I was not expecting the claim against the “rapture” as it is widely taught and believed - which I have always found fascinating considering it never appears in the Bible, yet we cannot seem to universally agree on teachings that come directly from the Bible - but I must say it was refreshing to hear someone else make this point.
Let's go out and deny ourselves daily, spreading the gospel healing the sick and casting out devils and also take care of the environment that influences how we take care of our temples and our heart. Destruction breeds destruction in our spirit as well.
Yes! Thank you. I am a ministry student and while that is what my school believes, I do not. I wrote a whole paper on it for theology.
Thank you Dr Howard Snyder! Wonderful insights. (My Masters Thesis is based on this)
Please sir/ma'am. Are you willing to share this thesis paper? I've been trying to explain this to my adult Sunday school class, but I'm facing so much resistance from the idea that because we have dominion, that we have the right to do whatever we want with creation
@@chipperjones3112, thank you for the message. What is the best way to send through the paper to you?
Regards,
Simone
@@simonenel1794 Thanks so much Simone! It's randyrmc@outlook.com I very eagerly look forward to reading it so I may be able to better convince my Sunday school class of the importance of caring for God's creation!
@@chipperjones3112 Thank you! We will be in touch. :)
@@chipperjones3112 The book he mentioned: Salvation Means Creation Healed, is an excellent resource for walking through the Biblical theology of stewardship
if alcohol( the blood of Christ), a candle ( the guiding light) and a clock ( which God gave us to tell time) will make electricity then we are supposed to use this, I feel it is sin to say different and that we should make it and let God decide
If your father asked you to look after his garden, wouldn't you do it because you love and respect your father? So, your father comes first and not the garden.....
but at the same time God is going to destroy the garden
Faith without works is dead
God put us on this earth an expected us to look after his garden. Humans are failing. Don't think God is going to of let anyone past the pearly gates that don't love all the species he blessed us with as well as his planet.
That’s not a requirement at all. Recall John 3:16.
look ill tell you for how long earth will last from Jesus coming plus 1000 years then God will destroy the earth
so why should I care if I know how long it will last
and it also says that the water will become poisonous or something like that and kill all sea creatures
and BTW Jesus feed people with bread and fish FISH
The water is rising! where are the Christian environmentalists? somewhere fighting gay marriage equal rights equal pay voting against raising minimum-wage voting to keep College students in perpetual debt voting against the progress of humanity
🥴
I disagree. Environment should come first.
why I can tell u how long earth will last
Someone needs to read Genesis 3....God cursed the environment and he will ultimately destroy it so use the resources bud....the earth is disposable
SuperEROQ Good point
Nives Hame nothing in the Bible isn't real.... Love double negatives... Look it up
Nives Hame not going off topic... What are you trying say because your double negative makes the statement positive....
Nives Hame ok.... I'll give you a pass ....I get the English thing.... But not everyone is chosen by God to salvation so the Bible will seem foolishness to those who are not indwelt by the Spirit .... Unless you are born again you will believe the way you do.... No way can you use logic, normative science or empiricism to disprove the Bible
@@SuperEROQ God said nature is good. We’re meant to rule over the earth and tend to it. Not destroy it. This carelessness is already damaging the lives of many people so I don’t think God approves.
This guys eschatology is off because his ecclesiology is wrong
Is his eschatology flawed, or do his ecclesiological views simply not line up with your own? Besides, from my perspective, I could say the same thing about you: "God cursed the environment and he will ultimately destroy it so use the resources bud....the earth is disposable".
