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 11

I would love to have a copy of “Healing the Mind” DVDs to have in my therapy office. I enjoy having clients check out materials to enhance their therapy experience. I have sat under Dr. Jennings’ teaching at an American Association of Christian Counselors convention and respect his work greatly.

Testimony 29

Thank you for all of your work to correct misconceptions about God’s character. So many people that my husband and I have talked to seem to be against the natural law construct and view it as “errant” and “dangerous.” Having learned more about it through your blogs and lessons, I don’t really understand why they view it that way, except that it means they have to relearn theology they have known for their entire lives. But I’m so excited to relearn this. For the past few years I have been questioning how I could trust a God who punishes arbitrarily and is full of wrath for those who don’t obey His commands. That view made me afraid to “mess up” or “not be good enough,” even within my relationship with God. I really appreciated the point you bring out about God not wanting us to serve Him because we are afraid, but because we love Him.

Testimony 6

I got the book “Could It Be This Simple?” a few months ago and the reading was wonderful and I was fascinated. I lent the book to a friend at work. She is having a difficult time and the book is helping her to find Jesus and I found this very exciting. She has asked me questions and I can see her life changing.

Testimony 61

I grew up in a prominent protestant church and had what I like to call religious anxiety. I’ve always had questions about God and Salvation that no one could seem to answer.  I didn’t know how to find resolution. During 2020, at the height of my anxiety, I fell to my knees and begged God to show me truth and light and to give me the hope that I’ve been longing for. Days later, I stumbled upon your online videos and it was like a veil was lifted and EVERYTHING made sense! For the first time in my almost 39 years of life, my religious/spiritual anxiety has lessened. I feel a sense of freedom and peace I’ve NEVER had before… and it’s all because my view of God has changed. Thank you!

Testimony 50

After coming into contact with Come And Reason Ministries, I can finally say that many of my unanswered questions have fallen into place. I discovered that my view of God’s Law was “imposed laws and rules” with “imposed punishments” and that this was the major culprit of my many unanswered questions. Thanks be to God for using you and those around you to help us who have struggled with this “infection” of thought. I have now rejected the “imposed law” concept to fully embrace “Design Law”… to look thru “Design Law,” instead of “imposed law,” is a relief.

Testimony 41

I have been blessed by your ministry. I have experienced personally, and deeply resonate with, the God of love and the beautiful picture of God’s character that you present. I have seen your seminar series on YouTube, read ‘The Journal of the Watcher’ book, used your mobile app, and also listen/study the bible study lesson with you each week. I concur with many of the thoughts and perspectives that you share. I understand your conclusions on natural laws vs imposed law and the legal/penal substitution (incorrect diagnosis). This makes perfect sense to me.

Bless you for all you do.

Testimony 53

I was so blessed by a friend who gave me your book, “The God Shaped Brain,” while I was sitting in church asking God to please help me learn more about Him and help me not to be so confused and scared. That was about 2 years ago. Your books have helped me to love God even more. I’m not confused or scared anymore! I have listened to all of your bible study classes and feel like I know the wonderful people that attend every week. Thank you for all that you’re doing in spreading the true message about God and His law of love. God bless you and your whole class.

Testimony 62

I would like to express my thanks to the C&R team for creating a platform from which people can learn to trust in God and grow. My life is a witness to the effectiveness of this ministry. Without believing the truth about God as you have shown, I don’t know what my life would be like. I had given up on God helping me with certain sins – it was all useless. Given that the scripture is clear and God is so good, how could I have betrayed him so many times? I was a yo-yo christian; spinning up and down. My faith and enthusiasm was driven by discoveries/threats that prophecy is about to be fulfilled. But when I watched your “Healing the Mind” seminar, it was like a light finally went on. I could see God had no plan to hurt me, the danger came from sin, and that He is working to protect me and strengthen me. Thank you for allowing God to use you. The message God gave C&R saved my life!

Testimony 13

I borrowed “Healing The Mind” DVDs from a friend and showed them at my home for a small gathering of women friends. Neither of my friends are Adventist, but they both enjoyed and embraced the messages you taught. In fact, one of the ladies prayed out loud in our group and that was the first time she had ever had public prayer.

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 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!!!

Ceil V.,  UT, USA

 

Testimony 56

I cannot thank you enough for opening my understanding to the beautiful truth of God’s Law of Love and how it applies to everything. I have been a Christian for over forty years, but I feel like I am only now seeing with my eyes open. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!

Testimony 40

I was brought up in a different faith and have been petrified my whole life of God. I believed that I would burn in hell for eternity. When I was 12 I started pursuing the things of this world, but for the next 45 years the Spirit was always calling me, as I knew there was a God through nature. I could see the vast sea of stars in the universe and knew there was something bigger out there. Five years ago, through a Revelation seminar, I was blessed to learn about God’s character and government.

Then I found Come and Reason Ministries and have come under some extreme pressure when I speak about the ministry. One time a member sent me an internet article titled “Whats wrong with Tim Jennings?” I asked her what she thought of it and she said “I don’t know, I didn’t read it.”

I have always wanted to find out for myself the truth about God, so I stayed with the Design Law construct and have been liberated to understand the big picture. Once we consider Design Law, all other Bible stories and prophecies seem to fit perfectly. It is truly beautiful to see people grasping how God operates this Universe of Love and the liberation it has provided in their lives. It blows my mind to see how consistent Design law is with what our founders believed. I hear statements like “This makes so much sense.”
