Missing words/ideas
Replenish
Sustain
Non-violence/non-aggression
even, Non-intervention - unless with the clear mandate of the General Assembly of the United Nations to intervene in a peacekeeping mission
Distinguishing marks of which world faith?
no homosexuals in position of leadership
no abortion
no physician assisted suicide
no stem cell research
no killing of cells, foetuses
no physician assisted suicide for the elderly terminally ill, even with their informed consent and when they have full capacity and the
pro-life only for the unborn
pro the armed forces whenever the state says it is right to attack, invade and occupy other nations
Does Christian belief ever fall out with science? It has done in the past over the age of the earth and its shape as a sphere and not as a flat surface.
God given truths are true for eternity. Scientific truths are only true until the next theory is proved and verified and the work peer reviewed in a recognised journal. Scientific truths are only true for as long as the evidence allows or the truth remains substantiated.
Values are:
too right wing when the life and teaching of Jesus is very left wing
not Sermon on the Mount compliant
personal salvation predominates instead of Jesus Christ as role model dominant
humanity is expected to exploit, consume and control nature, the earth and life support systems
The earth is the Lord’s and the fulness thereof actually means that the Lord’s people own the world and can do with it as they want. Only the Lord's people have the divine right to rule, on behalf of the Creator, over the rest of His Creation. In other words, the earth belongs to them, rather than they belonging to the earth - a fatal misconception in the Bible, a flawed book.
