Shalom,


I found something interesting in the Genesis 9 today!  Verses 1-3:


 1 God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them, “Be fruitful, multiply and fill the earth. 2 The fear and dread of you will be upon every wild animal, every bird in the air, every creature populating the ground, and all the fish in the sea; they have been handed over to you. 3 Every moving thing that lives will be food for you; just as I gave you green plants before, so now I give you everything —  4 only flesh with its life, which is its blood, you are not to eat. 

Just as in Genesis 1:28, when God said this:

28 And God blessed them and said to them, Be fruitful, multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it [using all its vast resources in the service of God and man]; and have dominion over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, and over every living creature that moves upon the earth. 

So much for all of the "causes" out there that would protect a plant or animal at the expense of a person! Are there people out there who are that extreme? ABSOLUTELY! Are all nature or environmental people like this? NO! But what WE want here is the TRUTH! God's Word IS Truth! It is the ONLY Truth! Do you eat meat? Enjoy! Do you have a leather jacket? Enjoy! Do you like to hunt? Go for it! Just make sure that you are maintaining a good and Godly attitude in and through it all! God's Word never condones waste and abuse of ANY kind! Take care of what belongs to God (and YOU, as an heir of God and joint-heir with Jesus of Nazareth - Romans 8:17)!


Shalom in Him!
