why would christians care about climate change when the bible says the world will end anyway.?

Question

or does it?

Answer 1

I rejoice, because it means the end of this wicked system of things is at an end. Let the kingdom of God come! I've had it with republicans.

Answer 2

It's prophetic - the Bible said that in the end times there would be climate changes, men would curse the sun, the seas and waves would roar and men's hearts would fail them for fear of those things coming on the earth. Luke 21:25-26. I believe that Christians feel that the climate change is just one more sign that the end times are truly here. :)

Answer 3

If I were to believe in the bible and that God made everything, I would care about the handy work of God. God likes God's creation(according to the Bible), If God made this thing that God likes, then gave it as a gift to people and those people destroy it, it wouldn't make God happy.
If my father built me a beautiful home, told me to take care of it, and I just destroyed it because my father said he'd build me a new home some unspecified time in the future, I think my father would be angry about it.

Answer 4

the bible also says we gotta take care of the animals, plants, and the soroundings that we have been given by God, and not be selfish to destroy them just to protect our pockets (or whatever it's being destroyed for), since all of it has been created by God. also, we worry about our sons and grandsons, and the life quality they get (and u dont need to be religious to do so)... even though the world is gonna end, it might not be their time, and this warming might make it so (tornados, earthquakes.. or whatever the consequences are)... it's also a moral issue...

Answer 5

A Greater Solution at Hand
A comment by Thilo Bode of the Greenpeace organization, as quoted in Time magazine, touches on the core of the environmental problem: "Our principal aim has been that corporations should consider how their products are disposed of. They must think in terms of a trilogy: production, use and disposal." Sadly, we are able to make goods, we know how to use them, but we do not dispose of them properly. In some cases humans simply do not know how to do so safely.

Humans are limited, but earth's Creator is not. He has already demonstrated his excelling wisdom in the creations we see on the earth. He knows how to make, to use, and to dispose of things properly. Many of the systems he has made are automatic. A seed germinates, and a plant grows and produces fruit. It then dies—with all of its elements breaking down in nonpolluting fashion, ready to be reused. This is recycling at its best! No toxic pollution!

The Creator does not intend to let the earth deteriorate into an uninhabitable trash dump. In the Bible, at Isaiah 45:18, we read: "This is what Jehovah has said, . . . He the true God, the Former of the earth and the Maker of it, He the One who firmly established it, who did not create it simply for nothing, who formed it even to be inhabited."

If God formed the earth to be inhabited, why has he let it reach this sad state? The Bible explains that man was originally put in a paradise. In fact, God purposed that this Paradise reach the ends of the earth and be filled with people. (Genesis 1:28) However, rebellion broke out. The first man and woman did not want to continue subject to God's rule.

God allowed humans to try their own way of ruling. The results are what we see today, a disastrous failure. Humans have clearly demonstrated that they cannot solve their problems. The blame for what has happened cannot be put on God. What the Bible says is true of all human society: "They have acted ruinously on their own part; they are not his children, the defect is their own. A generation crooked and twisted!"—Deuteronomy 32:5.

Nevertheless, God has not turned a blind eye to earth's ruination. He will act before it is too late, before the earth becomes an uninhabitable wasteland. How do we know that? Revelation 11:18 explains: "The nations became wrathful, and your own wrath came, and the appointed time . . . to bring to ruin those ruining the earth." The ruining of the earth will be stopped.

God's original purpose for the earth, that it be a paradise, will still be fulfilled. God issued statements showing this. For example, he said: "My word that goes forth from my mouth . . . will not return to me without results, but it will certainly do that in which I have delighted." (Isaiah 55:11) You may enjoy reading Isaiah chapter 35, where God describes the transformation of ruined lands into gardenlike parks and fruitful fields.

Even now, when pollution is stopped, the earth has shown a remarkable capacity to renew itself. God created it to do so. If the overloading of the earth with pollutants is discontinued, a wide variety of microorganisms in water and soil can heal much of the damage. Additionally, there is reason to believe that when God steps in and directs things, this rejuvenation process will be even more effective. He can provide the training and perfect direction that humans now lack.

Hence, the earth's future is not hopeless. Plants and animals will be saved. Endangered species lists will be gone. Our air and water will be fresh again. Obedient humans will be there to enjoy it. Would you like to see that? You can. How? The Bible gives details on what to do. Why not make a systematic examination of the Bible to find out for yourself? Ask the publishers of this magazine to put you in touch with someone who can help you get started. Why pass up the opportunity to learn how you and your family could enjoy a pristine environment forever?
