does anybody know the bible verse that is something like "stewards of creation" ?

Answer 1

Genesis chapter 1, verse 26 - 'And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.'

That is from the King James' version; modern language versions translate 'have dominion over' into 'have stewardship of' or 'rule over' the animals.

This verse is sometimes pointed out as seemingly giving us permission to do whatever we like to animals. Not so!

It was written down obviously much later, by Moses in Egypt or shortly after leaving, telling the Hebrews not to indulge in the practices of the Egyptians, who worshipped gods in the forms of animals. It's saying that it is wrong to worship animals in that way; Man is their steward.

Answer 2

In Genesis the Adamic priesthood for creation is that of an active steward. Humans are called to work with and not against nature so that we can remain worthy of this fragile blue jewel in the cosmic sea, the earth. Our world is not passive in all of this. If we disfigure her, she will reject us and make our life hard and miserable. This will be God's judgement for our abject failure to act as good stewards of HIS creation.
