Destroying the environment |
|
As
believers, we must see to it that we do not destroy the environment just to
see things destroyed, because the environment was made by God and thus must
be respected. Woe to those who take pleasure in destroying the earth, for the
Scripture says that the hour is coming in which God will destroy “those who
destroy the earth” (Revelation |
|
Therefore
when we are in the countryside and we eat or drink something, we must not
throw the plastic bags or the bottles in the grass. Neither must we set the
woods on fire, nor throw into the rivers and the sea substances that would
destroy fishes and so on. |
|
On the
contrary, if we need to destroy certain things of the nature out of necessity
(to build a house, or a bridge, or a road) then we are allowed to destroy
them. |
