God’s Promises and Climate Change Lies – Part 2

God’s Promises and Climate Change Lies – Part 2

Last week we contrasted the promise of God in Genesis 8:22—

As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will never cease (NIV84).

—with the false narrative advanced by the godless climate change fear-mongers. In today’s blog, we will document that the exact opposite is happening on Earth, that rather than increasing carbon dioxide (CO2) causing climate disaster, it is causing a greener, more habitable planet for human thriving.

There are two antagonistic worldviews at war today: the biblical one and the godless one. The godless worldview proposes that there is no God, there is no intelligent design, there is no purpose for humanity, that nature and its laws are supreme, that human beings are merely the most evolved animal in the evolutionary chain, and that our building, developing, and subduing the planet is corrupt, destructive, and ultimately against nature.

One of the most frequent claims the godless make to advance their narrative is that the increasing CO2 in the atmosphere from human use of fossil fuels is causing the climate to change in such a way that it will destroy habitable lands, cause oceans to rise, and make the planet a wasteland. But, in fact, the exact opposite is true.

 

The Paradise Before the Flood

From a biblical worldview, we understand that when God created the earth, it was a planet teeming with life; there were no polar extremes, no ice caps, no deserts, no extremely high mountains covered in snow, low oxygen, and devoid of life. The entire planet, as God created it, was a garden paradise in which plant and animal life thrived everywhere. The entire globe was rich in living organisms built of carbon and water.

Prior to the Flood, an incalculable amount of carbon was housed in the bodies of both plants and animals, and it was cycled back and forth through the constant exchange of materials, both nutritional and via oxygen/CO2 exchange.

During the Flood, the vast majority of plant and animal life was buried deep in the ground, creating our coal and oil fields. The waters of the deep springs (Genesis 7:11) burst forth, and the water in the plant and animal life was returned to the planet’s water table; this created the oceans and resulted in the formation of the vast frozen polar water (ice) reserves. In other words, a vast amount of carbon was sequestered into oil and coal burial grounds and a vast amount of water was sequestered in the ice fields.

After the Flood, the climate experienced drastic and cataclysmic change. Carbon levels in the atmosphere decreased, and deserts formed because there wasn’t enough water and CO2 in the atmosphere to sustain plant life at the level it could prior to the Flood.

 

Today’s Real Climate Change

However, as humans have been burning the fossil fuels from coal and oil deposits, we have been returning that missing carbon, the building block for life, back into the ecosystem. As a result, plants have quickly adapted by utilizing this increasing carbon to grow and expand, which is reducing the amount of desert areas (arid, uninhabitable places) in the world.

This is happening for several reasons: First, carbon is necessary for all life, so the increasing carbon is enabling more living organisms to arise and grow. Second, plants breathe CO2 (in fact CO2 generators are sold to help greenhouses improve plant growth); as CO2 levels rise, they are able to breathe in CO2 more easily, without opening their systems (pores, etc.) as wide and, therefore, they are able to retain water and not dehydrate and die. This allows for plants to reclaim arid/desert lands, making the planet greener. This is a combined effect of returning both sequestered carbon and sequestered water into the ecosystem, where it is utilized by plant life to grow and improve the habitability of the planet.

In other words, as we burn fossil fuels, increasing available carbon, the slight increase in temperature is resulting in the reduction of ice reserves, which are also being utilized by the plants to grow and reclaim desert lands—again making the planet greener (Grunzweig, et al., 2003).

Since 1981, deserts on the planet have reduced in number and size, showing that the Earth is indeed becoming ever greener (http://www.co2science.org/subject/d/summaries/desertification.php). Since we have increased CO2 in the atmosphere, we have a greener world, a more habitable planet, exactly the opposite of the godless worldview.

The increase in habitable land has also led to the increase of animal populations. As the carbon increases, plants grow, more water is needed, which is supplied when some of the stored water in polar ice melts; this water enters the atmosphere and is used by the increasing plant life such that the Earth becomes GREENER and more friendly to life. The oceans do not rise, because the water is being used by the increasing plant and animal life.

It is the exact opposite of what the climate change propogandists are saying! Remember, these are godless activists who deny the Bible, the Flood, and Creation, and who believe humans are an evil that is destroying the planet. We must stop believing this false CO2 climate disaster narrative and stand firmly on God’s Word!

 

Deadly Solutions

Not only is climate change a lie originating from those who reject the Bible, but without Scripture to guide them, advocates are proposing solutions to supposedly “save the planet” that both oppose God’s direction and purpose for human beings and are harmful to human thriving. 

God directed humans to “be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground” (Genesis 1:28 NIV84).

God’s purpose for human beings, who are created in His image, is for them to multiply by joining together in holy marriages of one man and one woman and having children—to procreate little people in our image—and raise them to love God and others, teaching them how God’s kingdom works and preparing them to lead and have dominion over the earth.

Having dominion means we are to develop the planet and make it ever more human-friendly, to rule over it in a godly way. We are not to destroy, exploit, or abuse, but we are to develop the planet for the purpose of increasing the human population with people who love God and each other.

But Satan’s narrative is the opposite—it is that humans are a disease, a cancer, a virus, and we are the problem that is destroying the planet and, therefore, humans need to be culled, limited, cut back. While we as Christians are to care for the planet, we ultimately do recognize that this planet is going to be destroyed and replaced by a new earth, the home of the righteous; thus, we value the people more than the planet. But the godless, under Satan’s direction, elevate the planet to a form of nature worship, valuing the planet more than the people. This is a fact to which they openly admit.

In his book The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels, Alex Epstein writes:

Many leading environmental thinkers, including those who predict fossil fuel catastrophe, hold as their standard of value what they call “pristine” nature or wilderness—nature unaltered by man. For example, in a Los Angeles Times review of The End of Nature, McKibben’s influential book of twenty-five years ago predicting catastrophic climate change, David M. Graber, research biologist for the National Park Service, wrote this summary of McKibben’s message:

McKibben is a biocentrist, and so am I. We are not interested in the utility of a particular species or free-flowing river, or ecosystem, to mankind. They have intrinsic value, more value—to me—than another human body, or a billion of them. Human happiness, and certainly human fecundity [fertility/fruitfulness], are not as important as a wild and healthy planet. I know social scientists who remind me that people are part of nature, but it isn’t true. Somewhere along the line—at about a billion [sic] years ago, maybe half that—we quit the contract and became a cancer. We have become a plague upon ourselves and upon the Earth. It is cosmically unlikely that the developed world will choose to end its orgy of fossil-energy consumption, and the Third World its suicidal consumption of landscape. Until such time as Homo sapiens should decide to rejoin nature, some of us can only hope for the right virus to come along.

In his book, McKibben wrote that our goal should be a “humbler world,” one where we have less impact on our environment and “Human happiness would be of secondary importance.” What is of primary importance? Minimizing our impact on our environment. McKibben explains: “Though not in our time, and not in the time of our children, or their children, if we now, today, limited our numbers and our desires and our ambitions, perhaps nature could someday resume its independent working.” This implies that there should be fewer people, with fewer desires, and fewer ambitions. This is the exact opposite of holding human life as one’s standard of value. It is holding human nonimpact as one’s standard of value, without regard for human life and happiness.

There is a real difference between the biblical worldview and the godless worldview. The current worldwide green movement is a godless, anti-Christian, anti-biblical, and false narrative that is part of Satan’s end-time deception to trick good people into participating in their own destruction—and as everything else that Satan manufactures, it is based on lies and misdirection.

The Bible foretells that prior to Christ’s return, there will be various climate problems—but they are not a result of humanity’s development of the planet. They come from humanity’s rejection of God. As billions around the globe harden their hearts into godlessness, God respects their choice and withdraws His protective and sustaining power. Satan gains more freedom to act, and he actively causes all kinds of environmental and climate catastrophes—earthquakes, hurricanes, cyclones, and more. The Bible describes it this way:

After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth to prevent any wind from blowing on the land or on the sea or on any tree Then I saw another angel coming up from the east, having the seal of the living God. He called out in a loud voice to the four angels who had been given power to harm the land and the sea: “Do not harm the land or the sea or the trees until we put a seal on the foreheads of the servants of our God” (Revelation 7:1–3 NIV84).

Notice—the angels harm by letting loose the satanic agencies that they had been restraining. As the world becomes more godless, as hearts harden and love grows cold, God’s presence will be withdrawn and satanic agencies will cause more and more various natural disasters. These events will be touted as evidence of Satan’s false climate change narrative.

So when you see various natural disasters occurring, don’t buy into the false narrative that human activity is causing climate change; instead, remember God’s promise that “as long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will never cease” and recognize that the disasters are evidence of  God withdrawing His protective power, which leads to an increase in demonic activity.

This will all be confirmed by the methods used by the so-called “climate saviors” to bring salvation to the world—coercion, threats, fear-mongering, restricted travel, loss of liberties, etc. You will know them by their fruits!

God’s people use His methods of truth, love, freedom in exercising godly dominion to care for His creation—to make the planet more human friendly so that the gospel can spread, so that we can minister God’s love to others, so the people can thrive.

Testimony 52

Your unique way in spreading the truth is what we all need today. Most of us don’t recognize the contamination coming from all the lies and selfishness in the world. Because of our fear of death, we forgot how to live. Lies left and right. I was losing hope and faith, because of so many ideas that are always contradicting each other – so many questions answered by other, more complicated, questions – until I found your channel on YouTube.

You did not just give me answers, you also taught me how to answer new questions that arise in my mind. Now I see things differently. I see God’s mercy, grace, and Love everywhere, in spite of all the chaos that we all have done as humans. I don’t fear death anymore. Accepting the Truth and Love about God is truly a genuine Freedom from all the confusions, sufferings, selfishness, pain, and death.

I just wanted to say, thank you, sooooo much for revealing the real Remedy for our infected life. I have a new hope and now see the world in a different perspective!

Testimony 37

Hearing Dr. Jennings’ presentations in person came at a pivotal moment in my spiritual journey that began about nine months ago, when the fault lines inherent in my belief system began to crack under questions that most reasonable people end up asking about God and His nature. These were questions I couldn’t find answers to, and they shook my faith. I was unable let it go any longer and be satisfied. My Christian experience became distant. I was afraid; the fear in me rose like thorns, pushing me away from Jesus. And then someone heard my questions and introduced me to this ministry, and my life has totally changed.

I can tell you that this new, “present truth” message is far grander and life-changing than when I shifted from being an agnostic and then a nominal Christian. It has radically altered my worldview, because it reveals a God that makes sense. It is a revolution. I believe that Dr. Jennings’ message is the final message that must go to the world. If any message could be called “righteousness by faith,” as abused as that term is by the right and the left, this is that message, because Jennings’ biblical message identifies a God who is different, whose character isn’t an impossible contradiction.

I walk this path now without fear. I see people differently, and the Holy Spirit burns in my heart. Many call Dr. Jennings’ message false and compromising, but it isn’t false, because I’ve seen the fruits within my mind and body. It is not compromising, because in this message is the only road to holiness that makes any sense. No longer do I behold a pagan god who is always angry and suspicious. Instead, I behold a God who is freeing and loving, always working for our good, and giving me every reason to love my enemy even to my own death, just as Jesus pleads with us. God is good.

Testimony 31

It was very touching to hear the testimony of your class share how viewing God’s true character has changed their lives. My feelings are the same – there is so much freedom in knowing that God LOVES me – regardless of my… just, REGARDLESS! I’m still blown away by the true gospel, the fact that God is not ready to strike us when we fail. He is not arbitrary. He simply loves us and warns of the natural consequences because He can’t stand to see us suffer. I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS GOD!!!

Testimony 36

Thank you and may God continue to bless you as you share with others the intricacies of how we are all “fearfully and wonderfully made”. I must share that you have opened a whole new world to me, and I have found tremendous healing through what you have shared in two of your books, “Could It Be This Simple?” and “The God Shaped Brain.” I praise God for what you shared, what I have learned, and how I have grown and healed! My prayer is that My Precious Jesus will be seen by others in the way I live, act, talk, etc. and they may be encouraged to know He is truly a GREAT God of LOVE, desiring that no one should perish! God Bless you in your continued endeavors to present Him as He really is!

Testimony 25

I just want to say thank you so much for your conversations via YouTube. I regularly tune in to your lectures, “Let’s Talk” sessions, and many others. Through these I’ve found greater depth and meaning to God’s word. Thanks for all that you do and please continue. I’m currently working in the middle of Silicon Valley at Stanford University. I feel like God really has me in the right place right now and I’m sensing that your teachings might be part of it.

Testimony 57

You have helped make sense of thirty two years of confusion. The material you freely provide reorganized so much of my life into such a beautiful pattern that has always been hinted at from within, but misguided with my training and what I was experiencing externally. My filipno parents, who were converted from Catholicism to SDA, were sincere and did their best to raise me the right way and I have deep respect for them. However, being immigrants and not understanding the language made for a difficult transition as I was growing up, which also applied to my spiritual growth as I learned the patterns of religion. I have been listening to as many bible study classes and reading blog posts as my time in a work truck will allow, searching for the practical applications of where spirituality and reality meet, and I thank you for helping me find that. You have helped me reach a point in which I can truly say that I love God, that I believe He loves me, and, like David, I delight in His law. God bless.

Testimony 2

I continue to enjoy your lessons every week. The more that I research your conclusions, the more I am convinced that the Holy Spirit has lead you to distill out the essence of human redemption. Thank you for your courageous stand for the truth.

S. G., TX, USA

 

Testimony 3

My husband is a pastor and I listen to your lesson almost every week. Thank you for helping me in my study life and to help me love the “real” God more.

Testimony 66

I am incredibly grateful for the transformative impact you’ve had on my life, and words cannot fully express my appreciation. Over the years, I have been an avid listener and follower of C&R and extend my heartfelt thanks for creating the C&R mobile app. It has allowed me to immerse myself in your lessons repeatedly, enabling me to grasp the profound significance about the Character of God, Design Law, the protocols for life, the reasons behind the current chaos, and Christ’s mission to restore everything. They have deeply touched me. Having studied with various churches, I came away with the perception that God is no different from the deities of ancient Greek or Roman mythology—demanding sacrifices and taking pleasure in bloodshed. Thanks to your transformative teachings, I have experienced a profound awakening to the true nature of God and the immense power of His love. It is truly a remarkable and liberating sensation to finally grasp the truth and embrace the empowering nature of God’s laws. My self-perception has become brighter and more infused with love. My journey of growth continues on a daily basis.

Chris P., Lake Mary, FL, USA

 

Testimony 1

Thank you! I love listening to the Come And Reason Ministries Bible study classes and am using some of your notes to get the lessons together that I will be teaching. You always have such good quotes and Bible texts and pull things together to make good sense.

Testimony 54

I had a lot of pressure, as a pastor’s kid, to conform and be “good.” I was good at being “good.” I thought my life was going along well until it all started falling apart and I could not figure out why! In my search for “why is this happening to me, God?” I came across your book, “Could it be this Simple,” and God started revealing to me the many distortions I held about His character, His principles, and how He has designed His universe to operate. I remember thinking, “Wow, I have had this all backwards.” I was happy and angry all at the same time. Happy to have the light of truth break through the darkness, revealing a wonderful, beautiful way of understanding God and His plan for His children, and angry, because I felt deceived and cheated by the church, my family, and myself!

My heart thrills when I listen to your bible study lessons. Literally I have gone from death to life. It is a journey I look forward to every day, as God reveals areas this distortion affects. Praise GOD! I will ever be grateful to God for this ministry and your cooperation with the Spirit!

Karen S., Portal, AZ, USA

 

Testimony 19

I truly believe that to know who God really is the first step to understand ourselves in a balanced and kind way, so the healing can take place. Your approach really makes sense – Thank you for your ministry!

A.M., Pittsburg, PA, USA

Testimony 45

I have been confused for years about what [christianity] calls [its] most disgusting teaching. It has never made much sense to me and for that reason has been evermore empty. I have listened to your class off and on and have struggled determining what is truth, because of the resistance design law encounters in the church. So, I thank God for your ministry. What you teach makes sense. It’s logical and backed up by the power of love. I have never seen that in Christ until now. I am astounded by the insight that is found when we look at God’s ministry through design law. All strength to this message, as I believe it to be the power of God.

Brendon S.

 

Testimony 33

I was invited over a friend’s house to see the “God and Your Brain” seminar today. I became [a christian] 36 years ago at the age of 19, but have struggled with the concept of God taking His ‘pound of flesh’ out on His Son to be appeased. Wow. Your seminar has been an incredible revelation and breath of reason and fresh air! I have your book, “The God Shaped Brain,” and it is SO eye opening. Finally, after 36 years enlightenment has come! Praise the Good Lord! What can I say, but that the Real Gospel is truly “Good News!” Thank you for your efforts in giving the Gospel a clear sound!

Paul C.,  Springfield, MA, USA
