The Gospel Of Green

Forget about the "gospel of green" This is what the GOSPEL of GOD says!!!! and we better listen. 2 Peter 3:10-12 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? This will take place on OCTOBER 21, 2011.

The green movement IS a pseudo-religion. Most of the proponents don't believe in a deity so they substitute Mother Earth. That is what makes them so darned dangerous. Their beliefs aren't based on real hard science, it is a belief system. You can't reason with them or argue with them. They have warning of imminent catastrophe from global warming for the better part of two decades. The catastrophe is ALWAYS just around the corner. Not today, not necessarily tomorrow, but SOMEDAY global warming is really gonna get us. We have to get a grip on this insanity before we lose all of our jobs.

For the love of God! Will you in the newsmedia please, please, please, stop referring to right wing conservative Christians as "evangelicals". The word evangelical means "gospel proclaiming" and all churches who believe in the Triune God are evangelical. They do not have a corner on the gospel. They may think they do. They may think that God thinks they have. They may even think that they are the church and no one else is. yet such is not the case. So please, please, please, as intelligent reported, get educated in theology and ecclesiology before you keep pronouncing one segment of the church as evangelical as though there were another part that is not. I have been in enough so called evangelical congregations to hear what is proclaimed and believe me, it is a far cry from "gospel". As far as the greening of the so-called evangelicals, if they took the identity of the Triune God seriously in their theology I think it would be obvious to them where they need to be in relationship to creation and the Creator. They are a monotony of the Second Person of the Trinity - Jesusologists.

I love the "gut punch" reaction while seeing and experiencing Holy Creation. The radical environmentalists refer to it, as the oceanic feeling, the feeling that you are all alone in space and time, but more safe than at any other time in all of life and irrevocably connected to something greater than all else. The gut punch is the ectasy and rapture while viewing a mountain backlighted by the last rays of the sun or that view of a thousand year old oak tree as it whispers in the first breeze of morning, just as she did on the dawn of Creation or looking into the eyes of a newborn fawn, waiting for his mother in a spring's meadow or calling to a wild lizard to come and take food from your hand on a summer's day, and he leaps into your hand at the sound of your voice, a fellowship and love that is one -- are all but one, Almighty Creation and the Creator, who believed in a miracle, a life-gifting Earth. "Are all but parts of one stupendous whole; Nature is the body and God is the soul."

It's great to see the church finally finding its voice when it comes to the environment. That said, there are a few organizations who have been pursuing a holistic agenda for a long time, especially when it comes to addressing faith, poverty and environmental issues.
