What I mean is, I remember reading a Bible scripture about:
The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD's; but the earth he has given to the children of men (Psalm 115:16).
If he GAVE earth to man, how can he come back and repossess it later? I think the Bible says he returns later to take back the earth, but how can he do that since he GAVE it away to man?
Isn't that stealing? Would love your response to this! Thanks!

You are misunderstanding your own question. If you give someone a present, you GAVE it to them. So it is theirs.
When Jesus returns, he's not coming for the planet. He's coming for those whom believe. The planet is doomed. Heaven is my next stop.

I guess you got us.
You proved your point.
You must have proved that the Bible is a lie.
What are you going to do now?
How about standing on you head and spitting nickels. That should be as good as anything else.
Why not go out raping and pillaging?
That would be good too.

He is coming back to take his children(saved people) to heaven.
Eventually the earth will be destroyed.

I give my children gifts but when they abuse and don't appreciate the presents, I will take them away. Satan has helped man to misuse what God has given us. He needs to fix that, as any loving parent would.
May God Bless you.

There are two types of gifts....conditional and unconditional. If a gift is conditional and the recipient violates the attached conditions, then the giver has the right to revoke it.

ABSOLUTELY NOT....
even if I gave you a $2000 notebook computer and you decide right then and there to smash it on the ground in front of me it is STILL a present i.e. a GIFT. Gifts are not conditional.
whether or not I chose to confront you about the behavior and judge you it is still your right to do as you please

God gave earth to man to use not to keep!

Whatever it is I wish He would do it quickly. Things are really out of control here.

i guess he meant "lend" but he said "gave" by mistake.
