Letter to the Editor: Avoiding the extremist panic
Trending
Yes, I recognize that some of climate change might be real, but climate has always changed over time. A recent submission from another Christian agrees with what I have said, but misconstrues what I have written. I personally do all I can to "help" the climate and the Earth. I do believe we have a responsibility to be kind to the earth and not deliberately do things that might harm it. But, the extremist views of the national climate change advocates are really what irritates me. They go too far in their beliefs of what we have to do to "help" God with the problems of the Earth. I drive a hybrid vehicle and have solar panels on my roof. I cannot control what the large corporations are doing to damage our planet, along with our Chinese friends building coal-fired power plants like crazy.
I do not believe and did not say that climate change advocates are Satan possessed. I do believe that Satan would like us to think that God cannot control everything, which is a lie. I trust God. I just cannot get all hyper about climate change and act like the world is ending tomorrow. Far too many predictions made by the climate changers have failed to come true. Cal Thomas, national columnist and a Christian, reported a while back that all of the predictions about climate in the past 50 years have failed to come true. Climate Change, on the national scene, is about power, control, and money.
The world will end when God decides and there is nothing we can do about it. People need to examine their relationship with Jesus Christ. Of course, if you do not have one, then that is a problem. Also, in a recent Faith page recycled submission by a local pastor about 7 years ago (sad that no one can write in current times) he stated that once a person is saved, they do not sin any more. That is not true. We still have a sin nature and still sin, to our shame. But, forgiveness is available. Why do we have an advocate for us (Jesus) if we are free from the sin nature when we are saved? I also find it strange that of all of the sermons written in the past, the recycled ones are almost exclusively picked from this same pastor. I wonder why?
